I got a new monitor, my first FHD monitor. It has a LCD panel but a 3000:1 contrast ratio.
It has two settings that mess with me a bit: Gamer Mode and Black level
Black level to low is by default enabled and I lose detail in the blacks. Black level to normal gives me details back but everything is washed out again.
Gamer Mode: If I turn this on the screen gets brighter and I get some details in the blacks back, but lose details in the brights. If this is on I can adjust brightness instead of contrast (And turned it down to 70% because otherwise it hurts my eyes).
What should I keep? Is it important to keep the details in the very dark corners to work with it? or should I rather have darkish greys instead of actual blacks?
I looked at a few photos on here and found a good one that "measures" my problem:
