So I bought my son the sansui 34 inch curved monitor and I noticed on the split screen the colors were perfect but once I go back to the full screen it’s a foggy looking color and I messed with everything what am I missing? He does have a ps5 I’m not sure if that matters
In my case, I had to reduce the sharpness of my HP monitor because it was straining my eyes. It’s much softer now and helps with eyestrain for longer use.
The video is very informative, however I must oppose to the part when setting the max brightness is recommended.
It’s quite unsafe to use an overly bright screen as it puts too much strain on the eyes. The better approach is to set the brightness to its minimum value and to slowly adjust it upward. The optmal value is achieved when a white background looks similar to a white sheet of paper that one can put side-by-side.
Otherwise it’s like recommending setting headphones on the maximum volume on and adjusting it to an acceptable value. While bright and loud can be fun, it’s detrimental in the long run.
Great video, this guy obviously nose what he is talking about.
Knows… knows.
