    Did NV remove Digital Vibrance option in later drivers?

    On my R1 I used to increase the vibrance to make the color on this screen match closer to my external monitor. Made certain games easier to see people etc. Did they take this out of the later drivers? Or am I just blind and cannot see it?

    the integrated video card is used to drive the display and hdmi

    the 335m isn't in that mix.

    edit: just to clarify I'm talking about the r2 specifically, since the r1 doesn't have optimus.

    DeeVu, are you talking about your R1 or R2?

    My ICC profile is really only for the R2's Intel HD IGP. Doubtful it would work well with the R1's HD 4500 and certain it would be a mess with the R1's 335 output... Can't hurt to try though.

    You can use the intel control panel for digital vibrance. That sets it to how you see colors though. hahaha... its right click>graphic properties>colorenhancements (under general settings)>saturation increase it til the vibrance it what you like.
