Out-of-the-box monitor settings almost always require some tweaking before they are user-friendly and comfortable to use and can be customized for gaming or working.
Adjust image settings including brightness, contrast, gamma, and sharpness for optimal viewing.
It is usually necessary to disable blue light mode, or adaptive sync, to improve visual quality and reduce eye strain.
A cooler colour temperature of around 5000K and above can be preferable for open-world games and RPGs, as it renders blue skies more naturally.
Refresh rates are increasingly common beyond 60Hz, but the setting is often downgraded on new monitors and will need to be updated in monitor settings.
It is vital to disable energy-saving settings that automatically adjust brightness, which can be annoying and interfere with set preferences.
Resolution should be double-checked depending on monitor use; 4K resolution is ideal for gaming but redundant for writing.
Enabling game mode reduces input lag and motion blur, improving the gaming experience.
