Spock Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Usually a good starting point for the display is:Contrast maxBrightness halfColor halfSharpness half or none (you will see which setting is right)Colour Temp WarmGamma 2.2 Every other feature off That are usually the settings where your display does nothing to the image. Gamma is usually the only thing easily calibrated via test images. Everything further requires a colorimeter and display electronics that do not loose bits when calibrating color. For the average end user with a decent display color calibration is not really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have an IPS monitor and have barely had to touch the settings during calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus33 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I *think* if you use DVI then you probably don't need to adjust dynamic range in the nvidia control panel for general/gaming applications. For video to display the full colour range you may still need to set it to full range as per the OP's instructions. It depends on what software you use for video playback. Years ago I always had to set it to full range for video to display correctly, but nowadays it doesn't seem necessary (and I have a HTPC thats used for blu-ray and TV). I even found that having it set to full range was causing some colour issues with certain WMV videos. Basically.. YMMV. If you use HDMI then like someone above said.. you probably do need to set it to full range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I use DVI and use VLC as my media player. Changing it to full range did make a positive difference for blu-ray movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
