i actually dont use HDR as i simply dont like it, i was trying local dimming high with 100 brightness and i can see blooming, so i will rock on with brigthness 70 local dimming standart for now and see how i feel about it

i was playing little bit with settings in dark, and figure out some stuffs, with local dimming settins on OFF and standart the black screen is actually more like gray with redish sides of monitor with setting on medium and high the screen is fully black withnout redish tint, but on medium im getting lot of blooming for example here on reddit with dark mode, meanwhile on setting High im not seeing much of blooming compared with standart. So yeah u/OnkelJupp was kinda on point with his setting Im new to ultrawide, but i noticed something which kinda bother me, when i place red icon into middle part of screen is nice rich red colour but when i move icon into side of monitor, the rich red colour is gone and its washed up, i guees thats issue with this panel technology or curving? i had the same issue on another panel which i returned before buying this one. thanks

i did try to replicate your issue and dont have it. im using HDR RTX and i had to tweak it ingame for results i like i think you will need to get some IPS panel, this was my backup choice if i did not like this TCL **LG UltraGear 34GN850-B**

I just got mine yesterday and unfortunately, there's some issues with panel, You can see in [this video](https://imgur.com/a/sdCyQPC) that the local dimming zones are lighting as I change the brightness, but not in an uniform way. This only happens on the right side of my monitor. I couldn't get the HDR mode to look good, it looks terrible in my opinion, both on windows and on mac. I'm feeling disappointed with this purchase, but I don't know of any other alternatives in this price range for mixed used.. EDIT: I reached out to support and after a few emails they said to repair/return it. Unfortunately Amazon does whatever it wants and I have no way without hassle to trigger a repair. I think for this price range, I shouldn’t have to worry about calibration and it should look great from the get go, but I keep fiddling with the settings because of the blooming effect that’s very clear in a lot of circumstances.

UPDATE: I reached out to Amazon, I had to speak to the customer support and they started an RMA and sent me a replacement unit, which I'm using now. It just looks GREAT. The other monitor's panel definetely had a severe issue. This one has no problem whatsoever. Highly recommend\* (when the panel works uniformely)

had it for two weeks. returned it as i want to wait for january and CES, if there are no mini LEDs, am going to buy it again. Yes, fiddling with settings took me 2 hours until i was pretty happy, extremely bright, nice colours and no smearing and ghosting on that panel. Holy shit, if that thing was 38inch... dang! i would keep it in the heartbeat. Even as VA panel, i was pretty damn happy, even OLED was a bit more dissapointing for me, this was really surprise out of nowhere..

I have a weird issue with this monitor. I am trying to hook it up to my PS5, using the 1440p resolution to get 120 Hz over HDMI (since on 2160p, only 60Hz are supported). However, whenever I set the PS5 to a resolution below 2160p, the monitor will stretch the whole image to the full 21:9 width, which of course doesn't look good at all. But then 120 Hz VRR + HDR is working. I do NOT have this problem under Windows, neither over HDMI nor over USB-C. How can I change it so that PS5 image isn't stretched in 1440p?

WIth 100 Brightness, I get a LOT of dithering effects in darker grey areas in games (i.e. RE4 Remake). Does that not bother you or is it not noticable on your own screen?

Yeah, I ended up returning the screen

I just got my new TCL monitor, and I cannot edit any settings except Brightness and Local Dimming. Every other setting is greyed out. I am using DP. No way to set Contrast, Aspect, Sharpness, Gamma. Any idea why?

I received my copy today. I use the screen for gaming and it's amazing but I mostly use it for work connected to a MacBook. I'm having trouble finding a correct setting that brings it closer to the MacBook's colors. Do you have any advice on this? In my case, only the average local dimming creates a strong blooming that is really noticeable

I use usb c connector with MBP M4 Standard color standard mode Standard local dimming Brightness 70 Contrast 50 Sharpness 5 Gamma 2 To watch movies or play games I use the Mac's extended range and it's impressive but it washes out the colors on professional tasks (web, office, figma, etc.) It has a good original calibration in my opinion If you have tried different settings I would be happy to try them!

I use stock usb c cable, delivery 90W power, for me its ok and the included cable work fine with MacBook (3440x1440 at 170hz with HDR) Personnaly I'm sad to use 2 usb c cable because I use 2 external monitor (tcl 34 inch and HP omen 27 inch FHD) I have a hub HP G5 I can connect 2 monitor on it to get 1 usb c to connecting on the MacBook and here I have a problem.... its work fine with windows laptop but and I don't now why its doesn't work with MacBook.... if we exclude that, its perfect I love this monitor and this MacBook ! Mery Christmas to you and your family

Hello ! I love this monitor, perfect for my use, very birghtness in HDR, playing vidéo games is insane for me ahah. The monitor are perfect for work to me for this budget if you dont want oled i dont think you have a really better one

I just bought a TCL 34R83Q and it’s great. Slightly worse color gamut than my trusty U2711 but still very good. Enough local dimming zones to where I really don’t notice it at all, high refresh rate, pleasant coating, and stupid high brightness coupled with no risk for burn in. I’d recommend it if OLED worries you. The only way I’m selling this is if OLED solves the burn in problem, or those crazy high color gamut professional monitors become affordable, which could take a decade too. It’s only downside is the poor viewing angles, especially up/down. There is really only one optimal position to be in (most notable with HDR content) but it hasn’t really bothered me that much. HDR implementation sucks anyway, I use it as little as possible. I’d much rather enjoy a wide color gamut unless it messes too much with a sense of realism

I'm totally loving my TCL 34" 34R83Q, i came from another VA panel and these 2 monitors are so different. The pixel clarity, contrast and colors and the exceptional brightness and HDR. Sure it wasn't cheap, but totally worth.
