HP DV5- Screen Settings

I was wandering what settings everyone has in their nVidia Control Panel. I want to watch movies at full screen and have the best colour/resolution possible. I have adjusted the settings around and have found one that i like. Unfortunately, full screen movies are not as clear as i would have hoped (my max res is 1280x800)

Here are my settings:
Brightness- +40%
Digital Vibrance- +65%
Contrast- +72%
Image Sharpening- None
Gamma- +59%

What settings do you have that give you the sharpest and clear picture when watching full screen movies?



Thanks

 

Off the top, id say put brightness on 100%

id put Gamma on default, it usually makes the image look worse.

 

Thanks for the reply.
I had a go of that setting and with brightness at 100%, it was terrible.
I'm thinking that all this may be on personal preference

 

Oh, ok. Well, it was a try.

Probably.

 

Thanks anyway!
Any help is better than no help


Anyone else out there have a good setting?

 

I've posted about this here - http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=315785

You can see the difference in calibrating the gamma from part 1 of my video review in my sig

The only really key area that needs adjustment is the gamma. The magnitude of adjustment depends on what nvidia driver version you are using. Once I updated my driver I found using my old gamma settings made things look hideous so I had to re-calibrate. Correcting the gamma makes a world of difference.

To adjust just the gamma use this picture and follow the instructions:

edit: nvidia brightness shouldn't need to be adjusted at all. Doing so will cause quality to deteriorate.

 

Actually I agree, it makes everything way too bright and washed out.


I think this is similar to what mine is, I'm not using it right now:

Here are my settings:
Brightness- +37%
Digital Vibrance- +65%
Contrast- +20%
Image Sharpening- None
Gamma- +39%


Uh, does anyone get this weird issue that when you use Google's Chrome browser the control panel settings change?

In other words, when I load up my laptop the NVIDIA settings don't kick in until I open Chrome. Weird huh? and once I had to make a temp user account and that totally reset my settings on my main account...

 

Thanks for all your input. Once i have some free time, i will calibrate the screen to my likings!!!
