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.

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.

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.

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

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".

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

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.

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

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!

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

the amount of quality on this channel, pushes boundaries i didnt know could be pushed on a platform like youtube. good stuff as always

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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