PG329Q HDR Dynamic Dimming - 2 issues

Hi,

As mentioned in the title, I'm having couple of issues with my PG329Q when using Dynamic Dimming during gaming.

1. Backlight is intermittently flickering if refresh rate is higher than ~120Hz with Variable Refresh Rate on (G-sync compatible). No issues if VRR, or DD is off, even when overclocked to 175Hz.

2. On occasion, when staying in rather dim scene for a short while and then moving to a bright one (i.e. broad daylight), backlight stays fairly dim. Switching HDR off and on back again fixes it. Happens in Watch Dogs: Legion and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. I'd imagine it's not limited to those games.


Since both issues would probably have to be resolved through firmware update I would also like to ask if it would be possible to also make a change so sRGB mode would have brightness adjustment unlocked, since as of right now it's locked at very dim level and unusable in bright environment for sRGB mastered content/games. I understand that changing brightness would probably affect calibration, but honestly I'm pretty sure for most people it would be an acceptable trade-off.
To avoid complaints from those for whom accurate calibration is essential maybe a short note in OSD (saying which brightness level is calibrated) would suffice?

If this would be changed (and maybe also to be able to adjust colour temperature in sRGB mode - wishful thinking, I know 😉 ) would make it really amazing all-around monitor.

@Admin. Please delete this topic, as I've made a new, slightly expanded one in HARDWARE & SOFTWARE SUPPORT​ section.
