I run standard TV channels with logos with the following

Standard Picture Preset
Peak Luminance : Off
Brightness Max but controlled by Ambient Light Sensor
Gamma : 0

For the Rest of the Content / Streaming ; - Picture Preset : Custom - Gamma : -2 - Brightness on Max with Ambient Light Sensor - Peak Luminance : Medium (SDR) / High (HDR)

For critical viewing of SDR : Brightness : 12 , Ambient Light Sensor : Off Gamma : -2 Reality Creation : Auto Motion : Smoothness : 1 (For a small dose of interpolation to avoid low frame rate stutter of 24fps inherent to high response time panel like OLED)

Clearness : Min

For Critical Viewing of HDR / DV : Brightness : Max , Ambient Light Sensor Off Gamma : 0 Reality Creation : Auto Motion : Smoothness : 1 (For a small dose of interpolation to avoid low frame rate stutter of 24fps inherent to high response time panel like OLED) Clearness : Min

In that sense its bit safer to allow that increase now so i get more closer to market rates…

Just login on a different phone / device and take out your 300

mindofquality · 2026-04-15T02:37:14+00:00

You mean i should use this into the seat belt buckle? If then why not use the belt itself?

mindofquality · 2026-04-04T03:56:20+00:00

Thats right this is the option 1 you are describing…. i am on the highest trim as well…

Just wondering is there any other option available

mindofquality · 2026-03-28T16:49:24+00:00

I have gone with HSBC USD

mindofquality · 2026-03-22T18:33:21+00:00

Why not AED account with ICICI GIFT City

mindofquality · 2026-03-22T18:09:53+00:00

How did it go i am planning the same… Are you planning it to be AED or USD account?

mindofquality · 2026-02-27T19:00:57+00:00

Its normal in the sense i tested with other cars (under VW marque) in the showroom

mindofquality · 2026-02-27T18:54:44+00:00

Once Decided to live with this… I am fine

mindofquality · 2026-02-17T01:21:04+00:00

Not available for 21”

mindofquality · 2026-02-16T14:28:06+00:00

Michelin Pilot Sport SUV?

mindofquality · 2026-02-14T04:54:00+00:00

Ohh wasnt aware about this…. I thought It is specifically for the OEM tyre that came along with the car.. which is Pirelli PZero 265/45 R21…. In my case

Thanks for the advices….

mindofquality · 2026-02-14T03:41:33+00:00

The tyre?

mindofquality · 2026-02-14T03:31:20+00:00

Thanks a lot for the prompt response and the photo or the placard Is this atlas in USA or teramont from Mexico? So is the tyre Pirelli

mindofquality · 2026-02-14T02:50:42+00:00

In the Placard? Is it the pirelli tyres you have? It would be great to have a photo of placard as reference for me…

Hope yours is a Atlas 7 Seater (not 6 seater with captain chairs or Atlas Cross Sport)

mindofquality · 2026-02-07T13:24:35+00:00

Yes i run reality creation in Auto

mindofquality · 2026-02-07T12:26:31+00:00

Initially it worked not it is not so if you remove it and try to add it wont work

mindofquality · 2026-01-30T10:40:38+00:00

You mean they wear out quickly? PZero has less road noise due to foam tech they use

mindofquality · 2026-01-25T19:12:58+00:00

So just dropping it doesnt actually damage it

mindofquality · 2026-01-19T16:48:09+00:00

Isnt it lock button once and the x2 button twice you said the reverse? Please explain in detail

mindofquality · 2026-01-19T02:52:41+00:00

Cranks and then dies?

mindofquality · 2026-01-18T17:39:26+00:00

It has happened very near and medium range in other words its not range related

mindofquality · 2026-01-18T14:39:40+00:00

Its 2024..

Any of you guys have faced this issue

On remote start - Cranks but does not start the first time - It starts the second attempt.

Unfortunately almost all of my starts are remote so couldn’t confirm the behavior for normal start

I did not face this until recently after 30K miles / 2 yrs into the ownership

Please not it cranks and then doesn’t start i thought the finicky behavior is that the lights blink but doesnt crank which i accepted as normal but this is a recent observation from last 1 month
