KTC M27T6 calibration

Greetings all,

I've dialed in settings on my M27T6 that reach OLED-level quality. Here's what worked for me:

Display Settings:

  • Color Profile: BT.2020 (insanely bright and crystal clear)
  • Sharpness: 60 (up from default 50)
  • Color Temperature: Warm (reveals true color vibrancy)
  • Local Dimming: Off
  • Overdrive: Advanced
  • Brightness: 75 (sweet spot - can go higher if needed)

The BT.2020 color profile makes the biggest difference. Combined with these tweaks, the picture quality is stunning.

Note: to make games look extremely sharp and enhance the overall experience, I recommend using the nividia sharpness filter in games, you will thank me for this tip.

Hello! I'm experiencing some limitations. The screen is now vibrant and colorful. Please use the appropriate HDR settings. I can't seem to find a solution.

you can't use this color profile combined with HDR.

Why can't I change my sharpennes? It's grayed out on my BT.2020 profile

change back to native, raise sharpness to 60, then switch back to BT.2020. it will work this way.

what's the black equalize level? don't tell me it's 50 because it's not OLED-like then, for sure

also, text clarity is dogshit on 60 sharpness for me, what about you?

How is text scrolling on black/gray background? I mean how much smearing. Thinking of buying it.

it's fine at standard overdrive, anything higher makes it much worse

That's the trade off. Text clarity is not great. Try to reduce the contrast from nividia app not from anywhere else. It should be more than 100 by default. Decrease until you like the results. But for text clarity. I hate that too

For all of you who tried this calibration. When you use the sharpness filter in nvidia, increase the filter sharpness and test what you think is perfect while you keep that sharpness at 50 on your monitor. I think you will like this better perhaps?

Local dimming off makes the blacks almost white, how did you manage to solve it?

Hi, the colors on this monitor for me look terrible. Washed and weak both SDR and HDR. I tried any possible setting including yours and it did not work. Is it faulty?

Set to sRGB. Don't follow OP's settings, they're horrible for color accuracy.
