Rog 3 display fully calibrated, no more color banding, black crush or red tint at any setting

So after some of you may have seen my "colorbanding defeated" topic, I have cleared the color banding issue and the next ones where fixing black crush (not pixalation, but dark scenes being so dark you cannot see anything) on very low brightness level and red tint, today I've finally done it. Finetuned everything to absolute perfection, the panel achieves lower brightness level even compared to other phones such as Samsung S21, Oneplus 9 pro, Sony Xperia II without losing any details to crushed blacks. Even at "0%" brightness, no red tint is visible on any videos, no matter how dark they are.
Now how was this achieved?!
As already mentioned from the very beginning when I first started the journey, this solution did require a dynamic solution. It's simply not enough to just have 1 calibration profile and hope it would work, you do need multiple profiles based on the brightnes for the panel in order to fix the panel completely. This is the first phone to my knowledge that does not suffer from any type of tint without minimum brightness being extremely high or IPS panel (after fix), most phones have green tint such as oneplus, samsung, Iphone and currently stock Rog3 has red tint. So far manufactuers have been trying to fix the tinting by upping the minimum brightness so that the screen cannot go low enough to have noticable tint, which I find a bad solution especially for a person like me who is quite sensitive to light.
To all who already have my solution, you know where the find the update 🙂
I hope the ASUS devs will also implement dynamic profiling on the rog3 screen as well, there is such an incredible potential. I also hope that other manufacturers will finally start doing the same, it's so sad to see so many great panels being under utilized because of nobody being bothered to handle it correcly.
I will derp a little more trying to see how low I can get brightness wise until it becomes impossible to not have black crush, after that I'll show you guys the incredible results ^.^

Could you make those pictures as requested? Because what you're saying makes 0 sense, it's literally impossible for the mi10T to have any black crush. It's an LCD screen, meaning it's incapable of crushing blacks. Usually putting an OLED next to an LCD reveals details that the OLED crushes. I'm curious because if what you're saying is true then that means something on the rog5 display has changed last time I got a look at it.

It doesnt look so bad, but you can see the difference. I made photo with S7 Edge which enchanted colors (geen tint) and contrast (you see more something simillar to ROG 5, but still much more less).
p.s. It is at 100% brightness.

I made photo with S7 Edge, it looks worst on the photo than in real. S7 enchanted colors (green tint) and contrast (more visible on Mi 10T and much more on ROG 5).

Both at 100% brightness.

THank you! Could you make a couple more? It looks like the phone has some color banding to it tho.

This thing what you call "banding" occurs in Mi 10T Pro too, but it is less visible, because lower contrast. As I said, if you max your contrast, you will see this "banding" effect.
I though that people call it black crush. So what is that black crush? Just losing details (black areas and things not visible)?
I took photo with S7, it doesnt look like that in real and "banding" isnt colorfull like here, so making photos doesnt make too much sense.

There are only 2 problems in this photos.
ROG 5 has too much contrast (you call it banding or whatever).
ROG 5 has green tint (colors are not calibrated well, too much green as you see)
There are no more issues here. Everything else is fake, because S7 cant process photos correctly.

You're not quite right, the camera catches details that are hard to see with the naked eye. Thats why I asked if its possible for some more pictures to get a more clear picture. I am aware that pictures have a strong tendency to not look like the real thing, for instance on the picture the mi10 looks super washed out even tho in reality thats not the case and the Rog5 while having a green tint isnt that extremely greened out. I just want to get behind the picture processing of the rog5.
