HDR mode
Regardless of the issue of EOTF and brightness tracking, color accuracy, etc…. We are dealing with an OLED panel and that means HDR hardware at its finest. Per-pixel dimming, no halo or blooming! And the contrast is already so fierce in SDR that any LCD panel next to the LG 27GR95QE just looks defective.
Grayscale Tracking (EOTF and Luminance) @ 10% APL
I took a closer look at Player 1 and Vivid mode in terms of HDR. In Player 1 mode, you get the D65 and thus only to a maximum peak brightness of just under 650 nits @ 10% APL. If you use the Vivid mode, the LG 27GR95QE achieves the specified 800 nits @ 2% APL. However, the white point is then at about 8500K and the monitor gets a blue cast. You have to like that. If you really value “accuracy” and prefer the D65, you should definitely use the Player 1 mode in the OSD.

In both cases, the LG 27GR95QE can’t follow the EOTF curve correctly. At the bottom, the shadow details may be displayed too brightly (crashed shadow details). At the top it becomes too early – too dark. To explain it very simply. To see the difference you have to put your monitor next to a reference monitor. Personally, I can live with the result. Nevertheless, LG needs to improve here!

The Vivid mode has always been my favorite. I also use it on my LG OLED C1. It’s brightness cheating, but who cares about color accuracy when gaming or watching movies? It just has to hit the spot – or does it? That’s my 50 cents on the subject. It’s just a matter of taste. Time for today’s conclusion…
