Better Colours for PC Gaming 

fresh upload on the gaming channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zYyfl55x38A.html Something else to think about when it comes to black equalizer - games where it’s probably most useful are where the enemy player models aren’t outlined (CS:GO, Warzone). As opposed to Apex and Valorant where the outlines can still stand out in front of a dark background.

I love the content you push out on this channel. Its stuff that nobody else covers. What id really like is for you to cover an in depth piece about aliasing and the methods (of which there are many) to combat it and actually explain things as even today there's many options that people just don't know about.

FLAT is good! What most people associate with flat colours is in fact proper colour-accuracy. If your monitor is advertised as covering most of the DCI-P3 gammut, it will be great for HDR but not for standard sRGB applications. Colours will look "punchy" but inaccurate and oversaturated. Some more expensive monitors have an sRGB mode in the settings which corrects this.

digital vibrancy is definitely a double edged sword. it makes color stand out more but at the price of making them look oversaturated. if color accuracy is your goal, the first option is definitely better (a color calibrator). for the average person, digital vibrancy if fine as long as you dont crank it up too high. personally, 65% on my gaming monitor is the highest I can comfortably go.

I just love it when videos are straight to the point, and explain everything clearly

I haven't realized how much I look forward to his videos. Awesome colors man!

Great video! I’ve had a really nice gaming monitor for a year and had no idea what I wasn’t taking advantage of. It looks like I’m playing a completely different game!

Really like these videos on settings/performance options for your hardware

my PG279QM just arrived and looked super dull right out the box! thanks to this video colours are popping now

Since it's not the default setting I would recommend setting output dynamic range in nvidia control panel to full. it comes under "change resolution".

Helpful information. Especially the digital vibrance tidbit, I never knew anything about that. Games are so much more colorful now.

Hey! I just asked about this the other day and now there's a whole video! :D Thanks!

This was great video my man, cheers my good ladd!

My takeaway from this video, for Nvidia users, bump digital vibrancy to 55%. Good balance, slightly better colors. 80% looks horrible IMO.

digital vibrance made my colours so much brighter! , thank you!

Was waiting for this. Thanks!

Ngl the quality of your content are on another level...

Decided to boost the vibrance on the Nvidia control panel to +50%, excellent bump in colors and vibrance without washing things out. I use an AOC 32" 1080p 144Hz VA screen.

YES! been waiting for this video for so long

Thank you very much this video helped me out so much I bought an auxiliary monitor for my gaming laptop and I couldn't get the washed out look all the colors look very dull and with your how-to video it looks great now it's really appreciated👍👍

I just watched this and I must say that adjusting the digital vibrancy to 80 made my monitor look amazing colors really pop thanks for the great tips and keep making awesome videos

really good content , support from france !

why are ypu always making the videos exactly when i need it? This is always soooo nice and helpful. I love your for it xD

i didnt even know its so easy to do, thanks, the picture is now bright and cool

I use a colorimeter, such as the Spyder, to color calibrate my monitor for gaming and when editing my wildlife photos.

i1 Display Pro and call it a day. If you want color to be correct, calibrate it. Use its tools to get your white point, contrast, and brightness close to perfect through the OSD, then use the xrite software tool to make an ICC profile. This way even if the program or game isn't color managed, your OSD settings will at least be as close to what they should be, and what the game designers were looking at to begin with. And when whatever your looking at IS color managed, it'll look perfect.

You helped me with Digital Vibrance, I nearly returned my VA panel for an IPS. Thank you a lot!

very helpful video thanks a lot. Most people aren't getting the best out of their equipment in general, specially monitors!

Would love to see your review of the acer nitro/fireguard 390hz with near dyac blur reduction at that refresh. I’m really impressed with it!

There's a Vivid Gaming colour profile in Radeon Settings that I use when I'm playing Apex, you can set it up to run per-game!

Thank you as always!

Fantastic video, thanks for the tips!

Hi, thanks for this informative video. Could you make a video to clarify NVidia panel graphic settings. For example, clarifications about the RTX settings for upscaling(sharpening) vs downscaling(DSR): these seems to be two opposite features; can sharpening upscaling and DSR work together? And all other settings to maximize the video card for gaming: a balance between best FPS and video quality? Also, how some settings affect gaming lag (maybe such as some texture filtering, low latency, triple buffering, and vertical sync).

Hey one sec, first of all cheers great video!! But second since your desk layout update I been really fond of your wallpaper, where did you get it from? I would love to use it myself!

I've been struggling trying to get my colors right for Valorant in my XL2546K. Thank you for this!

OMG THANK YOU, after driver update my colors were horrible, thanks to this they look amazing again

If you have HDR turned on on your monitor you should definitely increase digital vibrance. Obviously colours won't be accurate anymore but since most "HDR" monitors have really bad hdr colour ranges this will make your movies etc look much better.

For basic and cheap calibration, you can always look for simple calibrating hardware... I got for example a X-Rite Color Munki for $35 from ebay, and gets the job done very well. Granted, I don't do any color-sensitive stuff that would benefit from actually GOOD color calibrations.

great video!!! explained everything really good :)

Thank you very much. Great info.

80 can be a bit aggressive on digital vibrance 65 or 60 is a safe but noticable increase.

Nvidia filters are my go too. Sharpening and vibrance set for each game, maybe 5 FPS loss is worth it for not having to go into the display settings before each game to change settings. I’m on a 27 inch Samsung G7

Thanks mate there is no other videos about this topic 🙂

My Man comes through again 💪🏻

I don't have to worry about an overstated monitor, because I'm colourblind. 😎

More games should implement hdr seeing how it makes a massive difference while having a tiny performance impact. It's probably one of the best performance to visual impact ratio in a game. Such a shame.

Thanks so much bro. My monitor was unusually undersaturated compared to all the other monitors I had. I had to change to vibrancy to 100% but now its color is just like my T.V. Sucks that the regular monitor was so undersaturated but its all better now, thanks!

Thank you, this was helpful.

been on 100% vibrance constant for like 2 years now, my monitor looking brighter than my future.

FYI, ICC profiles will not work on non color managed application like games 99% it will not work. It depends on the game if it will keep the ICC profiles but, your 1D lut is universally applied.

Thank you so much, it really really helped me alot

Wow, ty so much, very informative !

Ever thought to make an Nvidia Reflex deep analysis? Like Enabled+boosted actually seems to be for older GPUS, when i try it on my 3060, i actually feel more lag than just enabled. And im not the only one. Every optimisation channel seems to be saying the same thing.

I set the saturation to 100% for csgo, especially on dust2 it's definitely nevessary, I wish AMD had digital vibrance (only affects the less saturated colors) though instead of saturation (all colors)

Great content! I play CS:GO on the XL 2411K and I'm gonna try your RGB settings for the basic desktop stuff in standard mode.

Thank you!

The setting with the most impact to me is definitely under Display > Change resolution - enable "Use NVIDIA color settings" and set the output dynamic reange to "full".

4:47 what do u recommend for a CRT monitor? I see clipping at 100% vibrance

*Thanks!!*

Epic video. Too bad for me I don’t use it anyways since I use that warm filter which I’m pretty sure reduces eyestrain. Atleast I think it does since I get way less headaches for my long ads gaming session

8:07 Settings for AMD Users

We like colorful things. We like bright things. There are reasons why TV/displays on the show rooms are the way they are. I respect the preferences and the competitive edge it can create. However, I firmly believe that we should not be punching up the saturation artificially. What this does is that it makes our eyes (and brain) see the punched up colors as the default (like how you mentioned going back makes the game look like black and white), when it is actually very artificial and inaccurate while color accurate images are considered "flat" in comparison which can be problematic. PS. Not sure how I feel about inclusion of "improving" colors with colorimeter towards the end. Up until then, the video mostly covers some ways to improve perceived color, not necessarily accuracy and calibration is all about getting closer to accurate, reference image (what many might feel as "flat").

How is he not Over 1M Sups?, He gave us everything, Keep up the good work

I’m subscribing to you just because you are a fellow Yoru main. I don’t see many of them so respect ✊

In my experience, digital vibrance is not a good solution. I played CSGO for a significantly long time with digital vibrance. However, after some time, it just seemed to increase eye strain for me, and the game didn't really look much better than standard as my eyes adjusted to it. Eventually, I reduced it to 60% before going all the way back to 50% because I ended up preferring it in the long term.

If you have a 125% SRGB VA panel like I do then it'll already be extremely vibrant. I added just 5% on the nvidia color settings and that's as far as I can go without it bleeding (red in particular). But this is definitely useful for IPS or TN panels which have less vivid colors.

Got me to sub with this vid. Thanks!

if you have geforce overlay there is a setting like this built in it's super easy to use and you won't have to turn it off and back on when you turn on and off your games

Do you think the RGB settings for the Zowie XL2411K will also work well with the Zowie XL2411P? anyone answer if you know

Your taste in games (BF1, Hellblade, etc) makes me love your channel even more

I love that you did AMD too! Great Video!

My beloved Senua. I need Senua's Saga like right now ;). Thanks for the tips ;).

bit confused why you didn't mention in game colour and brightness settings, they are very useful to use so that your desktop doesn't look bad but in game you can still get more visibility

I don't know how but I read this as best coolers for gaming. 😂 Still enjoying the video though 😂

I use an UHD TV that supports HDR with the right color space such as BT.2020, the game on HDR or Auto HDR through windows the contrast and intensity is really nice an the colors are more intense. I could of course also crank up the the saturation but I don't need them to be so popping - I rarely play FPS.

I use a program called msi dragon center which comes with different color modes and the gaming one is a nice simple one click solution that does a great job - colors are much more vibrant and less flat and even the blacks looks way better . Good luck amigos - free software and no need to look up reviews or purchase additional componentry . I use the same software across a range of my monitors without fiddling with the color vibrance

Gotta love how AMD's saturation setting can be set on a game by game basis.

anything for intel integrated graphics?

Great one! Keep it up!

finally, a gamer who knows electronics and how they can help.

can we just appreciate how good he is at valorant

Speaking of color setting, rip for anyone find their white point to be inaccurate. You can calibrate your way out of most thing, everything except white point.

I like hi-res audio with accurate bitrate playback and I like accurate display.

Optimum uploads ,I click without hesitation ❤️❤️

Honestly, for most people, I'd just leave it as is and not touch any of the display settings. Better set your monitor to its sRGB mode then only adjust colors through the in-game options.

Try Escape from Tarkov! I am in trouble in dark areas like interchange in that game :D

Great video!

thanks

LG ultragear monitors going with fps mode and dropping brightness down (100 by default) and black equalizer to about 70 is perfect. Seems to automatically oversaturate slightly as these monitors don't have a saturation slider. Nice because I can just toggle it on in the quick switch. Tbf the only game it's really needed is warzone tho. Colors are just awful. Also really frustrating the colors in rebirth are far better done. I like to add some digital vibrance in verdansk but not in rebirth. A lot of hassle for a game full of cheaters lol.

2:56 cries in Intel HD graphics

I'm not entirely sure, but gamma control on amd is called "brightness" instead and it's the first option.

those gaming clips look so smooth 😳 damn and im sitting here playing apex barely getting 60 fps lol

Is there any science that brighter colours, achieved through increasing digital vibrance, make opponents easier to spot? I've got 20/20 vision and have never had trouble spotting things like a dropped screw or food on the ground with just a brief glance. I've played around with digital vibrance and didn't find it any easier to spot enemies. Does anyone else feel this way too?

Vibrant and vivid colours are NOT accurate. TV and monitor manufacturers have known for decades that the average consumer turns the contrast and saturation way too high. That's fine - it's their preference, but it will make for inaccurate colours if you edit photos or videos for other people to see. Alternately, you'll need to adjust for each application.

Thanks man

thank you man! great content keep it up :)

pro tip: add some magic mushrooms to your breakfast for more color vibrance while gaming.

There is a way you can actually change the colors If you have an intel graphics card. Go on your home screen, right-click and left-click intel graphics settings. After that click on display then click on color settings. When you reach hear mess around with the "saturation" bar to get the color you want. it will look bad on your home screen but once you get into your game, you will see the change.

best vid helped so much

Helpful ⭐️ Thank you
