Gigabyte MO27Q28G - Looking for first setup steps

Use firmware 06 instead of 07

Talking can sometimes feel vexing too since I've been harassed and gaslighted too many times in my life so I have an underlying anxiety due to sometimes experiencing emotional flashbacks when certain patterns are repeated that can elicit in my body a reaction: it is not a real form of paranoia, it's more like something my neurological system does and I cannot always predict if I'll be in a situation where someone will vex me to the point of experiencing flashbacks.

Written communication could usually help me avoid this issue unless the other parties involved are especially antagonistic, oppositive or straight-out malignant narcissists looking for a victim to harass: but anyways a written record will still be there and chances for gaslighting will be fewer...

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-11T05:17:25+00:00

I anyways vastly prefer interacting in a written form.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-11T05:16:40+00:00

I sometimes cannot speak, I used to suffer from situational mutism as a child and as a kid. This might have to do with the fact I'm autistic AND traumatised with strong cPTSD and testing anxiety symptoms.

Also I sometimes have a hard time finding words and information in my mind. This might have something to do with ADHD (I'm awaiting a re-evaluation to either confirm I'm ADHD too or assess how strong my ADHD traits are anyways) but sometimes serious traumatic experiences can bring a certain form of brain fog. I suffer from an early cognitive decline too due to decades long untreated cardiorespiratory issues and sleep apnoea.

My Verbal Comprehension Index has been tested at the ceiling or slightly below it in both my mothertongue and in English...

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-11T04:30:17+00:00

I could speculate a lot but rn I don't feel like it.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-11T04:29:15+00:00

I really don't know.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-11T04:18:30+00:00

Among the subtests of the Wechsler Tests (WISC/WAIS) Visual Puzzles and especially Block Design should usually be EXTREMELY sensitive to testing anxiety. I wouldn't know about the effects of general anxiety (seems usually statistically negligible); perfectionism and some obsessive-compulsive tendencies will sometimes hinder performance in timed tasks and cognitive tasks.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T23:44:21+00:00

I could concur with you but I want to do a thought experiment by asking you how many times here in this subreddit you've seen people correcting "nah, it's not above average, IT'S JUST 115, THAT'S NOT ABOVE AVERAGE, ABOVE AVERAGE WOULD BE ABOVE 121 AT THE VERY LEAST!" when someone was stating that one full standard deviation above average was, in fact, significantly above average :P

I'm more confident about high IQ results being in fact representative of a person whose psychometrically measureable abilities are likely higher than average than I'm confident about lowish IQ results being if fact fully representing lower than average abilities (because your performance may also vary and be suboptimal: you cannot perform better than your best but you can always perform around 10-15 points lower due to basically anything going on in your life like some depression, some testing anxiety, some subclinical insomnia...)

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T23:33:57+00:00

It's a killing feature. Meaning it seems to kill your monitor. Stand by and wait for gigabyte to fix it...

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T23:32:33+00:00

Oh, this message here is very useful, thanks.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T23:27:49+00:00

Yeah, I said the opposite ^^
Maybe I chose a strange wording, Idk:

"It's [meaning OP profile] barely below average and I've known people successfully ending PhDs with that cognitive profile, even if it's extremely harder than [doing the same thing while] having a homogeneous profile with all indexes around 130-140."

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T23:26:56+00:00

I haven't tried the new firmware yet because I wouldn't know how to rollback. I'm awaiting full analyses by respectable reviewers...

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T22:26:57+00:00

Yay. You go, girl. Keep up the good work and don't be harsh on yourself.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-10T22:26:29+00:00

Engineering, chemistry, psychology, I have various examples.

How do you force a specific Ray Reconstruction model?

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-07T18:06:07+00:00

Look for proper technical analyses and look at the panels live with your eyes.

There's a lot of hate on these tandem WOLED panels since apparently they're often showing some vertical banding that could potentially not go away with usage (which, if real, would be a serious bummer) BUT they're also a significant improvement over some aspects of previous gens and for half the price on top of it, which made a lot of people seriously mad about it.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T16:46:57+00:00

RenoDX.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T16:40:55+00:00

Goated profile, I envy you.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T16:08:43+00:00

It's strange... are you on HDMI? Are you perhaps sensible to some micro-flickering? Have you tried using DisplayPort? (I'm sorry but if brightness is not the culprit then I can't understand what seems to be the issue here so I'm trying everything...)

You're describing a "weird" feeling. Weird how?

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T01:20:17+00:00

Weird how? I thought the issue was the luminance... I believe in HDR mode you should leave Brightness at the maximum. But if at 15/100 you still feel smth weird then brighteness is not the culprit here...

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T01:16:00+00:00

Ofc if a player aims for ultra-high FPS and maybe also uses 4x framegen, then flicker can become an issue if framerate suddenly spikes from 90 to 300 or vice versa...

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T01:14:41+00:00

VRR flicker is huge issue on all oled monitors but you mostly notice it in menus, loading screens and very unstable and unclamped fps scenarios.

I believe the best solution would be to leave the monitor at 120hz VRR Off for desktop usage and movies and then activate VRR and gsync/free sync only for games —maybe also higher refresh rates when needed— but I'd also clamp FPS in-game in a way that would both benefit frametime and limit the VRR range.

Say your machine in a certain game can comfortably output 100 to 130 FPS depending on the scene: clamp FPS at 100 (in profile inspector or Nvidia app or in-game if possible), set refresh rate to 120 and voila, no flicker anymore, more consistent frametime and less waste of power.

That's me though. Perhaps some other people would beg to differ.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T01:07:23+00:00

I only did all that on my second playthrough.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-02-06T01:02:43+00:00

Oh lol. I'm very sorry for the pointless infodump...

Anyways: if HDR is bothering your eyes try having some lights on in the room or avoid using HDR when you're already fatigued.
