Bought a new Monitor | help for Gamma/Black/Color settings for Gaming/Movie

[amymor]

Hi, I used to have an old TN panel (HP P201) and it's been a week since I bought a MSI G244f E2 IPS with this color gamut:
Adobe RGB / DCI-P3 / sRGB = 91% / 88% / 118%

Fisrt of all i know there are online tools for calibration, but they have given me more confusion. Here are some of them:

Also i know that for precise adjustment I need calibration hardware, but I just want to get an approximate adjustment.

There is some modes available in the Gaming tab and the Professional tab in OSD. I noticed that some modes, in addition to changing the available settings (such as sharpening, brightness, and contrast), also seem to change inaccessible settings. For example, the first time I turned on the monitor and looked at the colors, while it looked very colorful compared to the old monitor, the colors, especially the red, were so intense that it was a little difficult to read white text on red. I tried all the modes and by activating sRGB, the colors became less saturated, and it became a bit like my old monitor and the text became more readable, while I can never repeat this by manually adjusting the colors. What I also read in RTINGS reviews is that some companies limit the color gamut range by setting the sRGB mode.
User mode (default profile):

sRGB mode:

Also according to this article:

If you view this content designed for the sRGB colour space on a screen with a wider gamut than sRGB. And you aren’t controlling the gamut using one of the methods described below. Then things appear more vibrant and saturated than they should...Overly tanned or sometimes sunburnt-looking skin tones, reddish brown earth appearing far too red, yellowish green vegetation appearing overly yellow and somewhat garish...

The conclusion I came to is that I use User mode when gaming and watching movies, because it provides more colors, so it makes the experience more enjoyable, but when designing and working with text and browsing the web, I prefer sRGB since it is a widely used standard.

1. So my first question is, is this true? I'm very curious to know your opinion. (Keep in mind that I feel the oversaturation of colors in movies, and since my old TN monitor made reds look yellowish, I'm used to the resulting white. I remember comparing this TN monitor to my brother's IPS monitor, I felt that my brother's monitor was orange. The white skin on the old monitor is white to me while it feels orange to me on the new monitor. So if this is a bad habit, please tell me, because even when limited to sRGB mode, this feeling is still there, although its less, so currently using custom color of 82/88/100 rgb, its something between normal and cool)

2. There are two parameters here: Gamma and Black Level, which the OSD lacks both, so I had to use the VCP codes(ClickMonitorDDC):

It confuses me because in User mode and default black level (50), the colors are very saturated but in online test I can distinguish black colors from each other except 1 1 1 (in this case online tools show gamma 2.2) but if I change the black level to 51 or 52 with VCP codes, I can even see 1 1 1 (gamma will be 2.0). On the other hand in sRGB mode at default level the colors are more washed out (which is more comfortable for me), but in online test I can't distinguish between black colors from 1 1 1 to 5 5 5 (gamma is 2.2), and if I change the black level to 51 even absolute black (0 0 0) becomes gray. Finally I can use black level 50 with Night Vision in Strongest mode or Nvidia control panel, which in both cases causes gradients banding (and gamma becomes about 1.8). I don't know which gamma number to target, some people say 1.8 is better because it shows more detail than 2.2 which reduces the dark spots, and some say that since all game and movie content is produced based on 2.2 and the default settings of monitors are at 2.2, then 2.2 is better, and in the third opinion 2.0 is a sweet spot between the two. And since I want to use the two modes for two different purposes, it will be more complicated. Also I think since this IPS panel has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 so maybe that's why it can't have perfect black level, but then there shouldn't be any difference between sRGB and User, right?

Thanks in advance.

Hy @anymor. Did you find a solution? I've just bought this same monitor.
