- 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.
- 🤷 Change to colors to what feels right. Unless you're a graphic professional, it's more about preference than some perfect standard.
- 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.
- 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.
