[QUOTE="psykix, post: 663517, member: 96309"] I know next to nothing about codecs, but I bought CoreAVC. Now my colours seem to be very washed out on TV (in particular HD channels), and the picture quality is nowhere near as good as my Dreambox DM8000 picture. I'm using an Nvidia GTX460. What should the colour settings be in the Nvidia control panel? I have my Samsung LCD set to 1:1 pixel mapping, and I'm using a HDMI connection. Not sure what other info you need :-) I'm sure this HTPC is capable of much better picture quality! EDIT : I just found the settings in CoreAVC for brightness etc.. Colour is a bit deeper now, but pic quality is still not great if I am honest.. Wife is running out of patience with me now :-( [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 1.1.0 [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: StreamedMP [b]Windows Version[/b]: Windows 7 x64 Enterprise [b]CPU Type[/b]: Intel E8500 [b]HDD[/b]: 2 x 1Tb SATA II [b]Memory[/b]: 8Gb DDR2 [b]Motherboard[/b]: Gigabyte P43 [b]Video Card[/b]: MSI GTX460 Cyclone [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: [b]Sound Card[/b]: Asus Xonar DS [b]Sound Card AC3[/b]: [b]Sound Card Driver[/b]: [b]1.
