HP OMEN X 35-Inch Curved G-Sync 100Hz Display

May 19, 2018

My monitor came in yesterday and I have been testing for issues left and right.
None of the tests on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ show any issues.
I use the Level 3 (Default) response time on the monitor. The UFO test https://www.testufo.com/ghosting test looks exactly the same as other users have posted. The bottom UFO on the bright background has no visible ghosting, but it gets slightly worse as the background darkens. I took the following with an ISO of 640 and an f-stop of 1/4000 on my galaxy S-7 then increased the contrast to increase the visibility:

The ghosting is not very severe, and I don't believe it has been or will be noticeable while gaming.
I only experienced flicker prior to changing NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Set up G-SYNC > Enable G-SYNC to "Enable G-SYNC for windowed and full screen mode", due to the fact that I was running windowed full screen and G-SYNC wasn't active.
The MAJOR issue I have experienced is color banding. Especially in the darker spectrum.

https://youtu.be/lazS46Ly0ic I tried this test both with the movie streaming from Netflix and from a DVD with identical results. I have not edited the picture or video in any way. The fact that this was experienced both on a streamed and physical copy demonstrates that it is not an issue with streaming compression artifacts. It is not an issue with the source video as the scene transitions flawlessly from black on my Dell U2312HM. I believe the content is indeed upscaling to fit the large resolution, however this shouldn't cause the video to look as though it has the bit-rate of a 144p video on Youtube. I have tried a myriad of different settings in the monitor controls as well as the NVIDIA Control Panel, none of which were able to remedy the issue.

BrendanVosI had bad banding too until I installed the driver from hp then went to color management in the search bar and made sure the monitor was using the hp profile. It helped a lot.
