Hello, here are your queries rephrased: On lagom.nl's black level test, do the three darkest squares in the top left typically go unseen? Many users reported this issue and it seems to be a consistent behavior. When the dark level is adjusted to 2, the third square becomes visible, but at level 3 it’s clearly noticeable. Regardless of the dark boost setting, the first two squares stay hidden. The auto SDR brightness makes the screen very dim, even with a flashlight directly above the sensor only slightly brightening it. Are you experiencing the same? Also, why is the Six-axis saturation on the OSD locked and can’t be unlocked? I’m using only factory settings (Racing Mode, HDR off). No sRGB or GameVisual settings restrict other options.

Update for all PG279QM owners: I discovered a way to release the locked six-axis saturation. If it’s still restricted, it likely means you’re using the default Racing Mode GameVisual or the sRGB version. To unlock the axis setting, switch to another GameVisual like Scenery or Cinema. Hope this clarifies your concerns!

Best,

Hello. You mentioned difficulty seeing the three darkest squares on Lagom. It seems some users who reported the same issue fixed it by adjusting the axis settings, though it's currently locked for me. Interesting since the monitor is supposedly pre-calibrated at launch and includes a calibration report.

Updated for all PG279QM owners: I discovered the fix for the locked six-axis saturation configuration. If it’s set to lock for you, it suggests you’re using the default Racing Mode GameVisual or the sRGB version. To unlock the axis settings, switch to any other GameVisual such as Scenery or Cinema. Hope this assists you, though I’m still seeking your thoughts on the remaining two points. Thanks.
