    Ok so digital vibrance is really pissing me off. No matter what i do it sets itself to 100% whenever I reboot. I've tried everything, reinstalling NVidia tools included. Anyone have a clue? I just want it at 60% cause that's where it looks best IMO. Can anyone help me out here?

    I don't have my 7811 right in front of me but i beleive you set it to where you want, click apply then save it to a profile. There is an option somewhere that you can chose which profile you load on start up.

    That's the straightforward way of doing it. I've done that about 450 times with no change in results.

    I think it is the driver. i remember when i loaded the 178.13 driver from LV2go it was doing the same thing. I ended up going with the 177.85 Xfastest e wrecked suggests and couldn't be happier. might solve your prob.

    I had that exact same problem, and it bugged the hell out of me... Install the newest Nvidia driver - that solved it for me :)

    Does anyone have a suggestion for the best digital vibrance setting to use with the P-7811FX? If you are feeling generous, throw in what you think are the best settings for brightness, contrast, and gamma as well.

    I like everything including digital vibrance to be 50% personally. Except image sharpening since I can't change that anyway. (according to Firefox spell check, vibrance isn't a word)
