PG27AQN newest FIRMWARE ISSUES "GAME VISUAL" modes (Scenery, Racing, Cinema, RTS/RPG, G-SYNC Esport

[pottedplant]

With the latest firmware update ASUS has included some new controls for the PG27AQN, one of them being "VIBRANCE" within the "Color" Menu. This control (VIBRANCE) is automatically raised to 158 (WELL ABOVE the default 100) when selecting G-SYNC Esports mode.

This is good, that is what you want for G-SYNC Esports mode. But when you DISABLE G-SYNC Esports mode you are STUCK with VIBRANCE at 158. BEFORE THE FIRMWARE UPDATE this did not happen.

BEFORE this firmware update if you changed to any other mode (I use RACING for everyday use) the VIBRANCE returns to normal saturation levels at a setting of 100 (I assume since this control was hidden from us before). Now is not the case. Please release another firmware update to fix this. I'm tired of using the fragile joystick to set this back to 100 OVER AND OVER now.

Also please give us documentation on the new controls. What kind of firmware release has no documentation explaining how to use new settings like ULMB 2 PULSE WIDTH OFFSET. Like we are just supposed to intuit what this does? No mention of VIBRANCE at all either.

Finally, there is no explanation to the changes of the highly controversial "ASPECT CONTROL" mode which, in the past, has NOT WORKED with games like Valorant who force the active signal resolution to match the maximum resolution of your display. Now it seems when you select 25" crop mode it will FORCE a resolution change in the operating system. 

Can we get some clarification? There are 2 new modes within ASPECT CONTROL as well (STRETCHED) with no explanation as to how they work or what they do with the signal. I selected stretched and got some very strange active signal resolutions.

I’m wondering if it’s worth compiling a list of issues with the monitor after the last firmware update and going to Steve from GN again with it.  It’s crazy how poor the service is for such a premium product.

Too bad I didn't see this topic sooner... I updated couple of days the firmware as I notice color changes in racing modes...  😞 Why Asus!

I've found out that with wide color gamut, gamma 2.4, blue light filter at 1, and dark gain 1, the color saturation is pretty good at 137. My brightness is set to 34. That's my favorite setting at the moment.

you guys are lucky you have an update, i bought pg248qp, 540hz monitor, its been out over a year without a single firmware update, it doesnt even have a sharpness slider (vivid pixel) or color sayuration slider, nor display widget works, and no crosshair AI, but every newer oled monitor has been getting updates all the time, crazy, my brightness resets to 100% everytime my PC wakes up from sleep lol. anyway there is an app that you can use to change color saturation called controlmymonitor, it goes up to 200 on my pg248qp. most likely will reset once you turn off monitor or wake up pc though, i have it in my taskbar for easy access
