  1. There is no difference between HD and 4K video - VP9 Youtube - Only 1 place I can see is this video with cactus needles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEwgbKr5R9I)

  2. Windows isn't showing it as HDR supported.

  3. Monitor is factory caliberated but Windows Display Caliberation's seems to say it's not.

  4. I need to zoom most websites to 110%. Earlier I used 90%.

  5. I used to use my 200Nits Moinotr on 20% and one New monitor of 350NITS I am using 100%.

  6. I was expecting "frameless" design but it got a chin and 1 cm bezel on 3 sides.

I am using 27" 4K HDR10 8+2 Bit.

Earlier I was using 24" VA

  1. Already answered.
  2. Are you using a good quality new displayport cable, or the same old HDMI from your old monitor? 4k HDR needs a lot more data, and some cheap cables can't handle it.
  3. 🤷 Change to colors to what feels right. Unless you're a graphic professional, it's more about preference than some perfect standard.
  4. Yeah. There's a lot more pixels in a little more space. Each of them is smaller, and you may need to zoom on text-heavy apps that aren't optimized for 4k.
  5. Lots of new monitors default to a power saving mode where brightness is capped. You'll have to disable that to get the full brightness they advertise.
