Don’t make this one very common setting mistake!

Here’s some user complaints we see all the time, and many times it’s because the user is making the one same mistake with how they’ve configured, and how they’re using their monitor. We’ll cover the mistake in this video and explain why it causes so many issues. Problems include:

1. My screen looks so dark, even when I set brightness to maximum
2. The colours look really dull and undersaturated
3. My image looks washed out
4. I get loads of random dimming on my OLED screen during usage
5. Loads of the settings are greyed out in the on-screen menu
