Help me with PG32UQ

I bought the Asus PG32UQ yesterday and honestly I am somewhat disappointed.

I have it connected by DisplayPort 1.4.

What I do not know is that if it is the fault of the monitor, my GPU (1080ti) or Windows 10 itself ...

The monitor's 144-155Hz OC does not work at all, when I turn it on it only allows me to activate the 60HZ option.


Other than that, the texts on this monitor look strange, not clear, and in Career Mode, no matter how much you calibrate it, the colors (especially red) look very saturated.
* * PD: I come from a PG348Q and all this did not happen before.

EDIT: (SOLVED)

*Clarify that I have already seen that my PG32UQ unit works perfectly. A friend of mine came to my house with an AMD6900XT and I could see that the monitor worked perfectly at 4k 155hz 4.4.4. Not a single blink and everything very fluid and stable.

The problems that I have had have been because of my GPU (1080ti) since it does not support the resolution and the 144hz of the monitor, it could be said that it makes it a bottleneck. The only thing I have not been able to do is update the firmware of the monitor, currently it has V0.15, and I cannot update to version V0.25. Although I sincerely It is scary to update since the monitor works perfect for me.

How did you calibrate yours?

I use an i1 Studio spectrometer to create a correction matrix for each display I calibrate with my i1 DisplayPro.

The "ASUS PG32UQ.icm" profile in the driver download is questionable in usefulness. It looks like it's only a color profile as there is no calibration LUT built into the file. You would think that it was intended for factory settings on this monitor but I can see that it was profiled at 5000K and 180 cd/m2 luminance. That's strange because out of the box the monitor is actually very close to 6500K. I only had to nudge the color controls by 1 point or so.

What OSD settings are you using? It makes sense that gamma 2.4 looks higher contrast than gamma 2.2. But it could crush shadow details when your monitor is in a brightly lit room.

My calibration targets are pretty straightforward. For general usage: 6500K color (or more specifically x,y chromaticity of (0.3127,0.3290)), 120 cd/m2 luminance (your preference, this depends on ambient light level), gamma 2.2.
