Comparing directly to my AW32, the LG is way brighter in whites. I think this gives a perception of being brighter overall. Oh and in vivid mode the LG absolutely crushes the QDOLED's in brightness, but it's not going to be for everyone as you lose accuracy. I wish I still had my spectrometer...
So Fedex paid the seller the shipping damage claim on the viewsonic xg321ug I have and just told me to dispose of it. You guys think the guts have any value? I may tear it apart to look at the FALD.
Ya Gamer 1 is the only "HDR 400" certified mode. Haven't noticed any posterization, and the black test is perfect:

But yes, if you want accuracy you never use any vivid display modes on any display. But on this LG it looks pretty epic in HDR gaming!
Oh also on the text... yes OLED will not have as crisp of text as RGB LCD but, the text on the LG is bright white using dark mode and on the QDOLEDS it's tan'ish as are-whites in general. I definitely give the text win between the two OLED types to the WRGB LG.
Ya curious what picture preset mode he was using. The individual modes drastically affect the image brightness/quality. Gamer 1 (stock) limits the display to like 600 nits as you mention. Gamer 2 allows up to 1,300 nits according to a review I read. Vivid is like Gamer 2 but ups the whole scene...
Having both QDOLED and the LG side by side, the full scene/real scene HDR is definitely brighter on the LG WRGB. In vivid mode, I'm talking like 50% brighter it's crazy.
For some reason my Win 11 shows:
9,300 nits haha. The HDR calibrator app doesn't clip until 2,700 nits on the slider is...
