    Hi,

    I have a Dell E6400 with an NVidia Quadro chipset. I have installed the latest 185.20 drivers under Vista and am in the process of calibrating the LCD panel. I have used http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ to calibrate my desktop colours, but I've realised that this doesn't change the video that the card is playing.

    I've played around to make the video brighter, but it probably doesn't match with the appropriate colours very well.

    Is there a sample video file that could be played in Media Player which would do for the video colour setting what the above website does for the desktop colours? Or is there some other way of doing this calibration for video?

    Thanks.

    Perhaps the THX optimizer that appears on some DVD releases?
