Display Analysis

OLED monitors prove a challenge for my calibration tool, with the various dimming technologies tinkering with the results ever so slightly, but the MO34WQC2 held up really well, and of course, HDR mode is needed for the full DCI-P3, in which it’ll hit 99%, but our monitor tool isn’t HDR ready, so we’ll have to get that upgraded very soon to deal with these moving monitor technologies.

The gamma curve came in at 2.3, but really it was 2.2, and again this is just part of the local dimming of the OLED panel throwing out the result a little, as the display uses a full-screen bright image in this test. You can turn off the dimming, and get a perfect 2.2, but real world, I never noticed the dimming in action, and it’s actually a perfect 2.2 in real-world usage.

The grey ramp is excellent too, with a very linear readout, and no big dips as we move up the input range. It’s a little below our ideal 6500K, but if you set the colour tone to warm, this improves a little more, and personally, I think it looks better. The monitor also has a cool setting, but I found that to be just a bit too blue for my liking.

Colour accuracy is very good, with an average Delta-E of just 2.01, and this is obviously thrown out a little by the 1F test that came in at 5.05. Unfortunately, I think we’re running into some of the OLED protection features again, as this colour test uses full-screen full-colour pages to test. Eyes on though, the colours are like candy, they look amazing, and it’s just hard for me to test OLED using the tools we have.
