SDR content/games colour looks too warm

Hello

I recently got an OLED monitor () and never knew about the HDR world being so deep. I tend to spend some time tuning and setting my games up so the picture looks perfect.

Ive noticed that some games, even when having the HDR option, aren't the greatest at HDR. After looking into it a bit i came across people talking about RenoDX, etc and discussions about HDR not being how it's actually meant to be, in quite a few games even thought the option for HDR is there.

Anyway, I have a question about gaming in SDR/SDR content. So my new oled monitor for SDR games/content makes the overall picture look just a bit over saturated. My colour is set at Custom:R:100 G:99 B:99, wide gamut. I've tried the monitor OSD settings and set everything correctly in Windows.

Do you lot think maybe the Red being set to 100 makes the picture look a bit too warm rather than natural. Should i set the colour to 6500k instead of custom, maybe? Also, I've read something before about using sRGB instead of wide gamut for SDR, but I don't remember the details...

Any recommendations overall or any improvement tips will be appreciated. thanks

OLED monitor advice. Not sure if to go for 2k or 4k.

I'm looking to buy a new OLED monitor. I'm currently gaming on a 1440p IPS 27" monitor.

My GPU is a 5070 Ti, so I can run all my games on max graphics and I absolutely love it. My question is: should I go for a 4K 32" (maybe 27", but I'm not sure if 4K is worth it at that size) or a 1440p 27" OLED? I don't really care about the monitor size; resolution is my main concern.

The main thing I'm wondering is whether it's better to play at 1440p with max graphics, or sacrifice some graphics settings and play at 2160p. I really love seeing all the extra details that max graphics settings give you, even if they're very small, so I'm honestly not sure which way to go.

I know I'd definitely have to drop a few settings at 4K, especially in games like Cyberpunk, and it would hurt to turn off things like ray tracing.

What do you lot recommend?

I don't mind using frame generation too much, but I'd rather not have to rely on it for a smooth gaming experience.

Also, any OLED monitor recommendations?
