LG 34UM95-P review :Would be great without the Super Energy Saving bug: Part 2

Calibrating with DispcalGui

I wrote a separate post about calibrating with dynamic contrast because it isn't specific to this monitor:
Calibrating with ArgyllCMS&DispCalGUI with dynamic contrast or projector iris. 

I calibrated the monitor yesterday but only with 88 patches just to check the calibrating works. Today I'm going to do the real >1000 patch calibration.

Auto Standby bug(?)

After I'd been using the monitor for 4 hours, it popped up message saying monitor hasn't been used for 4 hours and it's going to be shut down in 5 minutes. What? I've been using the monitor the whole time! And after 4 minutes another message came stating press any key or monitor is shut down in a minute. And it did shut down the monitor.

There is a setting in Menu/Settings/Auto Standby that was set to 4 hours. But in the manual it clearly says: Feature that automatically turns off the monitor when there is no movement on the screen for a period of time. Clearly it was not working at all. I don't know how it decides is there movement or not.

USB3 and Serial port used for communicating

 

There is an USB to Serial converter TUSB3410 inside the monitor. I have it now disabled because the ASMedia USB3 drivers were messing with my motherboards USB3 (=ASMedia). But True Color Finder seems to calibrate through this port. I would have though it was using DDC/CI but now because TUSB3410 is not working it True Color Finder says cannot connect. It should be easy to crack, there can't be that many commands. Just put a com port sniffer in between.

Cleartype Sub-pixel rendering 

 

I tested first with Lagoms sub-pixel rendering test and then with Windows own that sub-pixel ordering is RGB. It's better to test first with Lagom because Windows only supports RGB and BGR sub-pixel orders. 

Conclusions (for today). 

I was wondering haven't any other reviewers noticed there isn't any dynamic contrast at all, or Super Energy Saving=Off actually shuts down the backlighting completely or the monitor turns off in 4 hours ( it was the default setting) no matter what you do? Or did I just get a faulty monitor?
