    What are your Nvidia Color settings? And say what kind of screen you have.

    I have an LG (XK309) WSXGA+ screen. My settings are:

    55% Brightness
    50% Digital Vibrance
    55% Contrast
    No Image Sharpening
    40% Gamma

    I personally think that looks the best, but I'm up for trying other stuff.
    Thanks.

    I am currently using 50% all the way down, except sharpening which cannot be changed.

    Mine is still setup for the Samsung screen I replaced. But I think it looks good on the LG.

    55% Brightness
    57% Digital Vibrance
    70% Contrast
    No Image Sharpening
    33% Gamma

    I tried your setting, and I think I like it. I have LG screen, and it is WXGA. The color looks really good on my laptop. :D

    I like my screen a little darker especially for reading text. Here's mine on my WXGA m1530:

    32% Brightness
    50% Digital Vibrance
    50% Contrast
    No Image Sharpening
    22% Gamma

    Don't you think it is a little too dark? I love bright screen.

    I tend to keep all my screen slightly dark. I would agree that some photos appear dark but I read a lot of text on my computer so I find this setting a little easier on the eyes.

    I am 100% color blind so it all looks the same to me. I do like my screen dim though...

    How to adjust image sharpening? Seems like you are not able to select it.
