Reverted. But this version has temporary image retention on startup randomly that images retain after 1 sex exposure that i have to pixel clean 3x in a row to revert. Seriously disappointed by oled monitors and would advise against it. Va quantom dot displays are far better.

On any well functioning monitor I'd say that you have raised gamma, but in case of the AQDMG, it's just broken. They do not seem to be able to control near-black gradients. So the dark gradients are either raised (too much visible) or not visible at all (black crush). You can tune it slightly with changing brightness or gamma, but it will never be as it should.

Well no i cannot in hdr. It only happens in hdr and after fw update to 104 before it worked great. Also in sdr there are ni gardients. So it can show perfectly.

Not all OLEDs are like this. AQDMG is among worst there are currently on the market unfortunately. My C1 was perfect since day one, really great TV and it's also a WOLED panel. It's all about electronics behind it.

Tv is different i have lg oled but used for consoles

As I said, with this monitor you have near-black gradients either raised or crushed. Previous firmware was crushing them and current firmware is raising them. They are unable to deliver correct dark (almost invisible) gradients. Since you can't control gamma in HDR and you prefer crushed blacks over raised, your only option would be to either significantly reduce brightness (which also crushes blacks at some point) or revert to previous firmware.
