Though now I just got an 8K AVR and going through that instead of directly to the C9 and I cannot seem to calibrate the AVR's nits via CRU. The default values are stuck on 1499 nits and everything is brighter in games but also heavily crushing blacks. And when I go through the Windows HDR calibration tool, I only hit up to 530 nits which is well below what the C9 can do. Any suggestions/ideas? I have tried setting the CRU values for the AVR but nothing changes - also did a restart afterwards.

Side question, I have only used one value of 127 for both Max Luminance and Max Frame-Avg, is that not correct? Should I be using the VESA test app to find the correct Max Frame-Avg?

Thanks, first post!

What GPU? What driver version? If NVIDIA, make sure there are at least 2 bytes left for data blocks in the CTA-861 extension block. Max luminance and max frame average luminance can be the same.

Hello, my GPU is a RTX 4080 (Nvidia), set to their absolute latest driver. Okay great, my Max Luminance and max frame average luminance are both set to 127 (790 nits) for my C9.

I am not certain how to make sure at least 2 bytes are left for data blocks in the CTA-861 extension block. Is this a setting or some number I am setting somewhere in CRU? I am guessing this will either help in general setup or get my 8K AVR to recognize the CRU setup?

Thanks for responding!

CRU tells you how many bytes are left in the data block list in the extension block. NVIDIA's driver has a bug that causes it to ignore all changes if there aren't at least 2 bytes left.

So what exactly do I need to do to make sure I leave out 2 bytes and where exactly? Thanks I am complete new to this stuff.
PS, going from PC directly to C9 works fine and sets the brightness to exactly 790 but going through the AVR does nothing.

Just delete something you don't need such as two TV resolutions.

Okay, I will try that, thanks! Hopefully it will set the correct brightness for the AVR.

Any idea what would cause a PG248QP to show basically no data?

Hi I'm using DP>HDMI adapter with Intel UHD (intel N100 integrated graphics)
The problem that when using such adapters, Intel driver, for unknown reason, hides color mode settings. It works in RGB mode by default, how can I switch to YCbCr 4:4:4? Very important to me.
I guess that I need to create custom EDID file, where all modes except YCbCr 4:4:4 are deleted. Will CRU help with this? How is it possible to do it?

thanks beforehand

Hello everybody! I need help setting up 3-x monitors via nvidia surround in 10320 by 1440 at 100 Hz resolution. The problem is that nvidia surround does not see this resolution, although all three monitors support it.
1 Samsung monitor with C34H89X(100 Hz)
2 Huawei ZQE-CBA monitor (165Hz)
3 MSI MAG34CQPV monitor(100 Hz)

I saw a video where I was able to remove the extra 4k resolutions through CRU so that they would not be detected in nvidia surround. Will this program be able to synchronize all monitors?

You need to edit the detailed resolution for 3440x1440 @ 100 Hz on all three monitors and make sure the timing parameters and frequencies match exactly.

RGB is always available and can't be disabled. Is it an active adapter? Export a file and post it here so I can see the EDID.
