monitor Contrast not meeting spec

[Stahlmann]

Hey everyone, first time posting here! 

 

I got myself the AOC AGON AG352UCG6 monitor.

When trying to check its color performance using my Datacolor Spyder5Elite i get very bad (for VA-panels) contrast ratios.

 

The measured contrast ratio is at around 950:1 when it should be more around 2500:1 to 2000:1 acording to the spec and most reviewers.

 

I tried to play around with the OSD to set different color profiles or try out the presets like the S-RGB mode.

The measured contrast ratio never got above 1000:1, which is really bad for VA-Panels i guess?

 

Am i doing something wrong with the OSD settings or is something wrong with the hardware itself?

 

I didnt notice it myself before because i never had a high-contrast Display before.

Now i dont want to miss out on it because i paid 850€ for this monitor and obiously want to take advantage of all of its features...

The monitor i had before was just a generic 27" 1080p 60Hz TN-Panel i bought for 150€ at the local electronics store.

 

I hope anyone can help me or at least tell me whats wrong (or what i'm doing wrong)...
