Several HDR presets offer different compromises between output and accuracy; Console HDR receives particular praise for balancing them.
Pros: black levels, motion clarity
Cons: value for money, Dual-mode versatility
Multiple HDR modes make it possible to prioritize peak highlights or a steadier image, but none is ideal for every brightness level.
Pros: color gamut, overall satisfaction
Cons: reflection handling, VRR flicker
True Black, Peak 1300, Peak 1300 Bright and Dolby Vision give users several looks to choose from. None perfectly balances peak punch with accuracy in every scene.
Pros: brightness, value for money
Cons: port selection, built-in speakers
Customizable desktop, game and movie HDR modes are a useful convenience despite the limits of the underlying HDR hardware.
Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction
Cons: HDR performance, Headphone output quality
True Black, Peak 1300 and brighter/custom modes give several looks for different games and lighting conditions. There is no universally ideal choice: some settings are too subdued, others unnaturally bright.
Pros: overall satisfaction, Text fringing
Cons: brightness, Edge dimming behavior
