    I was going through the various settings for my Go 7200 and I came across "digital vibrance" in the color settings section. It was set to off, so I turned it all the way up. I have the wavy background that came with my 2000t and I was amazed to see it become a brilliant blue color when I turned DV all the way up. I turned it back to off and realized that the "blue" background I had before seemed so dull in comparison. I turned it all the way back up and opened my browser window. The various pages I had open all seemed washed out and almost blurry. I turned it back to "off" and popped in my Requiem for a Dream DVD. I skipped to a chapter with Sarah Goldfarb and turned DV back up. With each notch, her hair became more and more of a radiant orange. At the maximum, it was too much, but at medium, it looked amazing.

    Basically, it seems like DV has tremendous advantages for certain uses and requires a lot of tweaking to get the perfect fit for each situation. So my extremely long-winded question is this: What settings do you use? Do you change them with different tasks?

    I really love the Go 7200. It has some fantastic features/options

    Every Nvidia GPU has this Digital Vibrance setting.. My Go440 had and so did the 6150. It is good in certain situations but the only issue is if one thing looks good with DV on, then some other thing looked ugly. I used it for a while and I wasnt that much impressed with it, but as you said it has its benefits as well as downfalls.

    Hey, you're right. I've had a FX5500 in my desktop for a while and never noticed the options. You've just made my day... fuzzy focus here I come
