Color Performance
Gigabyte has really gone to a lot of trouble here and stored various color space presets – including ICC profiles using X-Rite software. I checked these profiles and the native performance with the ColorChecker Studio (spectrophotometer) and DisplayCal.
Color Space coverage
For a better understanding – the measured native color space – compared to DCI-P3 (shown dashed).

This is what the performance looks like if you deactivate the ICC profiles. Personally, I would be happy with that and would not even touch it. But, for example, the sRGB colors are totally oversaturated here and if you want to avoid exactly that as a content creator, you can fall back on the various ICC profiles.
Default profiles

You can leave it as it is. If you want to use the D65 in conjunction with Gamma 2.2 in the DCI-P3 color space, you will be happy here. However, this does not differ significantly from the native panel performance.
sRGB profiles

What went wrong here? RGB balance fits, gamma is ok, what’s going on? The culprit can be found at the bottom of the log. The color space has been clipped far too much – especially in the red and green areas. This should have been noticed during quality control at the factory. You can’t call that calibration!
Display P3 Profile

That’s ok, I would prefer the default profile or native here.
Adobe RGB Profile
Measurement Report 3.8.9.3 – ATNA60YV09-0 @ 0, 0, 3840×2400 – 2024-06-17 12-29 Adobe RGB
Here, too, the color space is already heavily cropped. But basically still usable – better than the sRGB profile.
Uniformity
No dirty screen effect, no color banding. Simply a very good picture homogeneity that is delivered to the customer here. Typical Samsung OLED!

Brightness
The range of brightness is extremely wide. From just under 400 nits full white to under one nit, that’s really blatant. The display gets so dark that you almost need a night-vision device.
Interim conclusion
The built-in OLED display is a real joy for content creators. Infinite contrast with up to 400 nits of brightness (without ABL) – values that we have not found on current OLED monitors. Very good image homogeneity paired with a very high pixel density form an excellent basis for working on the move. What’s more, Gigabyte supplies various ICC profiles straight from the factory. With the exception of the sRGB and Rec.709 profiles, you can even speak of a factory calibration. However, I would like to see a hardware calibration for sRGB, Display P3 and Adobe RGB, as ICC profiles are not supported by all applications.
Do you have to worry about burn-in here? Basically, this is always an issue, but Gigabyte offers the usual OLED Care features with the Control Center to prevent this. You should also use Windows Dark Mode, automatically hide the taskbar, Clean Desktop and a screen saver. Personally, I don’t see a laptop as my main work tool, but rather as an alternative when I’m on the move. What I find a little unfortunate is that you get quite slow latencies here and the laptop generally only offers a 60 Hz refresh rate. With the hardware installed, you could also play a game or two when you’re on the move. At least 144 Hz would have been more comfortable.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to test HDR for technical reasons (regarding the Calman software license). An OLED display can always display HDR, as each pixel can be controlled individually. This display delivers contrast like any other OLED panel – infinitely much – and that is the essential thing when it comes to HDR. That’s enough for me, and I’ll hand over to Igor again.
