[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 194366, member: 10858"] Correct way to solve the washed out colors is to select a correct colour space from Nvidia drivers. At least latest drivers have setting what can be used to select beween RGB and YUV colour spaces. If you are using an older drivers the change must be done manually from registry. Here's how to do it (unfortunately I cannot remember where I did got these instructions...) [code] OK...I found the registry hack and it seems to be working great for me! Here is how you do it for anyone interested: Launch regedit and determine the current primary display looking in HKey_Local_Machine\Hardware\DeviceMap\Video and note the GUID (global unique identifier assigned by which is the long string in brackets { } at the end of the entry device\video0". Look in HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\ GUID}\0000 where {GUID} is the number derived from the previous step. Open the "0000" directory and create a new DWORD called VMRCCCSStatus and give it a value of 0x1 - to force use of the standard YUV range of 16-235 0x3 - to force use of the extended YUV range of 0-255 So I made the DWORD VMRCCCStatus in the following registry folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Video\{GUID}\0000 and gave it a HEX value of 3. I rebooted and seems to work great. \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{D1A6C810-2415-4441-8264-61C09815A007}\0000[/code] [/QUOTE]
