Our review available here: https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-strix-pulsar-xg27aqngv

You should update to the latest firmware first, available here: https://gsync-update.nvidia.com/

SDR setup (general usage, desktop apps)

Preset mode = Racing

Brightness = set this to whatever you find comfortable and appropriate. You can set this to 136 to target 120 nits if you want

Contrast = 100

Gamma = 2.2

DP sRGB gamma = Off (if you're using our calibrated profile linked below)

Colour temp = User

RGB = 100, 98, 96

Vibrance = off (default)

Colour space = wide gamut

Pulsar = OFF for static content

Blue light filter = 0 (off)

Calibrated ICC profile linked below which will clamp the native colour space back to sRGB in colour aware applications

Gaming options

You can use the same calibrated SDR settings above for gaming for good accuracy. You will also want to use the following:

Response time setting (OD mode) = Normal (for all situations, VRR and fixed refresh rates)

G-sync Pulsar = make sure you've enabled VRR / G-sync from the NVIDIA control panel. You can activate Pulsar in the menu for gaming if you want to use it (and you probably will!)

Pulsar low FPS limit = you may want to reduce this down to 75fps as long as that doesn't then lead to any visible flickering for your uses.

Dark boost = experiment with this in darker gaming if needed

Other settings

Ambient adaptive brightness = enable if you want auto adjustment for different lighting conditions

Ambient adaptive color = only enable if you want it to make the screen warmer for darker conditions etc. We prefer to leave this one off for a stable, consistent white point

Power setting = standard mode (you will need to enable this to access many settings anyway)

Any chance some XG27AQDPG settings are coming?

TFTCentral

Sorry no plans to review and test that screen I'm afraid

John

Hi TFTCentral, Thanks for the great guide! Quick question on the G-Sync Pulsar part: How exactly did you enable it for gaming? V-Sync On or Off in NVIDIA Control Panel? Frame cap with NVIDIA Max Frame Rate, RTSS, or in-game? Reflex + Boost On or Off? Any other CP settings you used for best Pulsar clarity + lowest latency? etc? Would really help competitive players like me (Overwatch 2). Thanks!

TFTCentral

Hi John, i think those specifics would probably be best aimed at competitive gamers as that level of tweaking at a graphics card level is not something we've explored I'm afraid. I'm sure there's plenty of guidance on NVIDIA configurations though to follow :)

hi are you gonna re add the custom color calibrations for the Alienware AW3423DWF QD-oled? thanks.

Ali K.

there is really good info from blurbusters on this topic, but I would recommend running G-sync on (+ boost, depending on the title, but most of the time in these types of games you are more CPU than GPU limited, so most likely turn +boost on), vsync on in game, gsync on in nvidia app, and do not put a frame rate cap on. Gsync+vsync+Pulsar will cap the framerate automatically at 324 FPS. This will give you the relative motion clarity of a panel running at 4x that, so that is 1300Hz of motion clarity. I have this monitor, I love it, and enjoy!

I love your guides, but the patreon billing "trick" is really not cool. I've unlocked this post thinking I would get access to all posts and other monitors from the Insider section, as it's noted on the review: "Get the best settings for this screen On our Patreon Insider tier and above you can find our full ‘Best settings guide’ for this screen which includes all our recommended calibrated settings and ICC profile for SDR mode, as well as other best settings guidance for other options and gaming." It seems that by clicking that link I just unlock this post, instead of the full Inside tier which gives me access to all monitor settings, despite the price amount being the same. Please be more transparent about this, now I am forced to pay the same amount again for the rest of the content. :(

TFTCentral

Hi, I’m very sorry about that, it is certainly not deliberate. You’re right, There’s two options when you join. The $3/month subscription would open up access to all relevant insider tier posts, but would be an ongoing subscription, while the “buy this post” option is a one off but only gives you access to that single post without the subscription. I’ll have a look at how we can better position this and make things clearer. I appreciate the feedback on it. Simon

Thanks for the reply Simon. If this post, or other similar monitor setting posts costed $1 each, it would've made sense. Unlock the full monitor settings for $1, or grab the full settings for all monitors for $3 as a subscriber. But the way it is presented on the website, and the fact that $3 unlocks all monitor posts including this one, which is the same price as unlocking it itself if you click through the advertisement on the website is just really unfortunate. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m commenting on the principle of the matter rather than the amount itself.

TFTCentral

I understand where you're coming from and I'm definitely going to look in to it. We wanted to give people the option to pay for just the single post if they didn't want to subscribe in an ongoing basis but I do appreciate that maybe isn't clear in the way it's presented, and then the way it's handled when you come through to Patreon. leave it with me, i will definitely look in to it once we're back from Computex

TFTCentral

Hi, I wanted to quickly follow up on this as I've had chance to look in to how this is presented on Patreon when you click through to a locked post. Annoyingly there's no way for a creator to edit or change the wording on the buttons Patreon presents, there's just two standard options offered to "unlock this post": 1. JOIN TO UNLOCK - Unlocks this and 21 exclusive posts - Members-only benefits, including community, early access, digital goods (e.g. downloadable content), and more 2. BUY FOR £3 - Instant access to post. No recurring commitment I think moving forward the best thing we can do is add some text to the pages on the main website which link to these best settings guide to try and make it clear what the options are, either a recurring subscription that will give you access to all posts while it's active, or a one off purchase of just that locked post. I will look to include that in the future :)
