The used model was "gpt-4o-mini".

I would like to point out once again that you should read the operating
instructions for the monitor, as this could be a settings problem that
cannot be solved simply by adjusting the brightness, but for which there
could still be a solution.

My EIZO monitor is superp, at least for me as a non-gamer. The colors
are almost perfect and well dimmed they suffer to a small extent, but
even when the monitor is set very bright, it only dazzles to a tolerable
extent.

My no-name TV, on the other hand, can glare so much that it hurts your
eyes within a few seconds. The color quality is generally questionable,
there are hardly any reasonable nuances between piggy colors and black
and white.

The LCD quality of displays varies greatly, as does the quality of the
backlighting.

There are countless things to look out for when buying, such as contrast
and others, including the pixel error class.

Pixel Fault Classes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9241#ISO-9241-302,_303,_305,_307:2008_pixel_defects
( Obsolete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_13406-2#Pixel_Fault_Classes )

I use a class 1 screen with hybrid backlighting for my desktop PC. I
first bought a no-name, then immediately sent it back to the dealer to
buy an EIZO. the only disadvantage of the EIZO is irrelevant for me. it
is fast, but probably not fast enough for gamers and also weakens in the
syncronization, I have also experienced tearing, which of course is not
the sole fault of the monitor, but a combination of graphics card,
operating system / driver and monitor. It was twice as expensive as the
no-name, but several times cheaper than monitors from other brand
manufacturers, which can't hold a candle to the EIZO.

But as already mentioned, I first made a bad purchase, which I was
fortunately able to reverse, and only then did I read up on the subject.
I always do my own research, without the help of a chat AI, but also
with the help of search engines, which then at least have nothing to do
with Brendan Eich.
