Today I Learned...
... that Nvidia's driver software has a "digital vibrance" feature
built into it.
Well, okay, I probably didn't learn this today; I'm sure I noticed
this previously. What I learned today is how much I ENJOY the digital >vibrance feature.
Now, I admit, I like over-saturated colors. It's why games like
"FarCry" were so appealing to me; all that lush, overly verdant green
does something to my brain. I tweak the saturation settings in many
games already. Still, seeing this option was mouth-watering.
And I gotta say, it does what it promises; the colors look much more
vibrant. Arguably it isn't a very accurate colour profile, but that's
not really that important to me I am when fighting demons on Mars (or >whatever). I'm sure many people find the extra colors just too much...
but I like it. It helps that the monitor its applied to is old and
fading; the extra 'oompf' from the digital vibrance gives that screen
a new lease on life (it's a per-monitor setting, fortunately). But I
left the other monitors - you know, the ones I actually use for work - >untouched.
Anyway, it was such a nifty find for me I couldn't help but share my
joy. It's little things like that which help make life bearable, after
all.

I have it on 60% as I find going much higher than that leads to the
colours just being too bright for me. I'd still recommend that people
give it a try to see what they think.

Can you turn it down to get noir?
I tend to like grittier faded graphics like in the Fallouts.

Anyway, its in the nvidia control panel->Display->Adjust desktop
colour settings section if you want to give it a look. I didn't
mention the where earlier because I didn't think anyone would be
interested.

I love when the color on my display pops and it sounded like playing
with that option might do just that so I was definitely interested. >Admittedly though, I could not find the option so I had to goggle it.
However, playing with this option can screw with color accuracy. You
can use this website to compare running at 50% vs 60% or whatever. -->

According to this site, my colors are more accurate at 50% but I do
not care. I like the way they look better at 60%. YMMV of course.
