AW3423DWF, sRGB gamma 2.2 problem
Hello, I bought AW3423DWF monitor and Im having problem with gamma 2.2 on Creator sRGB mode being too bright that blacks are grey and whole screen is washed out. Gamma 2.4 has great colors but crushes blacks.
In Lagom black level test at 2.4 gamma I can see squares down to 7., at 2.2 gamma I can see all squares but first one looks dark grey. At 2.0 gamma I can see squares down to 3. and at 1.8 gamma I can see squares dow to 2 but the image is naturally getting more and more washout as Im lowering the gamma.
But there is weird spike between 2.4, 2.2 and 2.0 where 2.4 is dark, 2.2 is suddenly too bright and 2.0 is darker that 2.2.
It feels like there is something wrong with 2.2 gamma.
I read that same people have the same problem and they said that gamma 2.2 started looking like this after firmware M3B104.
I got latest firmware M3B107.

I have the same issue too with this AW3423DWF monitor. It jsut doesn't look right in HDR and in creator SDR mode, the 2.2 gamma is grey and washed out. I'm bitterly dissapointed wit this monitor.
Comapred to my AW3225QF and my 3x OLED tvs, the AW3423DWF looks bland, washed out, grey.
The Lagom black level is the same as what you've mentioned. Does your HDR true black red/orange colours look weird as well ?
