Functionally, the OSD has not changed from what we saw with the 32QHD165. It is a very clean-looking menu system, without any funky GUI elements we sometimes see from other brands, and that makes it very clear and easy to navigate.
It's broken down into six main tabs – Picture, OSD Setting, System Setting, Audio, Input Source, Information:
It's hard to be too critical of this OSD system, and Corsair has now added a Crosshair feature that was missing from the 32QHD165. There's still no shadow boost option, or ability to re-map the joystick shortcuts, but it's got all of the key image adjustment options we'd expect and it's dead easy to navigate with the joystick.
It is also possible to adjust the monitor's settings directly from your PC, using Corsair's iCUE software, provided you have connected the monitor to your PC via USB cable. This simply provides all the same settings you get from the OSD, but in software form, and you can also save different profiles and have them ready at a click of a mouse.
I do still think that Corsair could go further with this integration though by including more custom options not found within the OSD. Being able to create custom overlays or show a live read-out of system temperatures and other metrics on screen (something iCUE does already), I personally think would be very cool, as well as an option for custom overdrive settings outside of the four presets provided in the OSD.
I have asked Corsair about this and while they didn't address those features specifically, I was told that there are a lot of planned features in the works, but we were given no indication of time frame for further updates.
