Nvidia "Digital Vibrance" Enhancement?

I just reinstalled my video driver and started noticing my folders looked a strange color like neon yellow, i also noticed some reds looking greener and blues looking brighter. I figured, since I was just fiddling around with windows 7 themes it must have been that. But after digging around to find the cause it turned out to be Nvidia's Digital Vibrance Enhancement found in the Nvidia Control Panel under Adjust Desktop Color Settings.

does anyone use this? I can't decide if I like it or not

 

I really dislike it on my laptop, as it ruins the neutrality of the screen.

Although, some screens I've worked on need it, as they look so washed-out otherwise

 

I use Digital Vibrance on my laptop. Without it, the colors are really washed out.

 

Purely down to user preference, it's nice at first at very low settings but some programs/games look odd with the feature enabled regardless of degree.

 

I use it on my laptop, I push it up to maybe 15%. As an entertainment user, it just gives my otherwise dull display a bit of pop. Of course photographers etc would cringe at that statement, but as mentioned, its all down to preference.

 

WOW THANKS, with this my colors look better. never knew it was there + rep

 

it simply increases saturation of all colors on your screen.

it adds color-pop, as some users stated, but also decreases color accuracy.

definitely turn it off for any photo editing or similar applications.

 

you can correct the color inaccuracy a little by adjusting the hue of the nvidia settings. my laptop screen requires me to set the hue up 4o in order to get more accurate colors.(of course dont expect miracles but it helps)

my settings go like this
desktop color settings
brightness
40%
contrast
80%
gamma
0.85
digital vibrance (stock setting is 50%)
80%
hue
4

i use these settings to bring out more color as my screen looks really washed out and a combo of the others to reduce eye strain as i am sensitive to really bright lights. my video settings are generally the same but with minor differences.
