Samsung Oddysey Neo G9 SDR Gamma Curve Broken with High Local Dimming

Filoppi — Sun, 19 Jun 2022 11:38:36 GMT

As per title, the SDR gamma curve of the Neo G9 has been broken in the last 2 or 3 firmwares when using "High" local dimming. "Auto" seems to have a more correct gamma curve, while with "High", it looks very off. I use "High" because it provides deeper blacks, so I don't want to be forced to use "Auto" to have a correct gamma curve. This issue has also been widely reported everywhere, and it's been basically a year:

Can we get an update? Low/High local dimming in SDR mode has been broken for over a year now. Also, HDR in Freesync Premium Pro mode has a bad gamma curve as well.

Any status update on this?

Bought my Neo G9 yesterday and it looks like dog ***** with local dimming on.
Auto looks very, very dark in some areas.

Tried downgrading to 1011 which supposedly isn't broken, but that just bricks my monitor.
Then I need to upgrade again to 1015 to without an OSD to fix it, lol.
