Thanks for this great video. I downloaded your ICC profile for this monitor and tried to install it on Windows 11 using the Color Management app; I checked the box "Use my settings for this device" and then "Add." (I did not check the "Add as Advanced Color Profile" box since it was not an HDR profile.) I tried to add the downloaded file (asus_rog_swift_pg32ucdm.icm), but it doesn't show up in the "Profiles Associated with This Device" list. Any idea of what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

One other question: you recommend keeping the monitor in SDR mode unless viewing HDR content, so does that mean that we must manually switch to HDR when viewing that content (even if Windows/MacOS detects the software is using HDR)? I used to use an LG C1 48 inch which seemed to switch automatically to HDR mode or at least automatically detect HDR content. Thanks again!

Sorry, not that familiar with Windows' approach to profile management, you might need to experiment with that a bit more.

yes, you should only really enable HDR mode when viewing HDR content. If you have applications (some games do this for instance) that can trigger HDR mode on their own, regardless of how you've set Windows, then that should still do the same thing on this screen as it did on your LG C1. the triggering of HDR from the source device should remain the same as before and the screen will just detect what it's being sent. more info on why to only enable HDR when viewing actual HDR content here: https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/heres-why-you-should-only-enable-hdr-mode-on-your-pc-when-you-are-viewing-hdr-content
