'Digital Vibrance' option...what do you think?

Hello all, I stumbled upon an option called 'Digital Vibrance' when fussing around in the colors section of my card's drivers. (180.48) It has a slider to change the value from 0 to 100%, and when used, it seems to give the colors a little boost, hence increasing 'vibrance.' Does anyone else use this? I have it set at 12% with an Acer AL2216W and everything looks much better.

I have it set to 10% all the colors get saturated & too bright after that, but yeah it's a nice little vibrancy boost.

 

Yes, 14% makes my Syncmaster 305T look considerably better.

 

This is probly the biggest reason I like NV over ATI, I cant live with out it.
I set it to about 30% and love it.

 

When playing wow I have it set to 30%. It really brings the game alive color wise.

 

i have it at 50% on my dark screen, like it, i also like bright colours

 

I have it 10% , even in Wow, when i set 30 @ wow . rofl!

 

Mhhh i dont use it on my syncmaster 931c.

Its because you loss several shades, i mean you could no more differ (?)

To test use the tool ***** Monitor Test.

You see the difference if you increase the digital vibrance...

Test it out if you want to use it, you loose details.
For you who already use it, i think it is to be addictive and you cant turn it off...

Oh sry for my english, its now even worse because the mhhhh.... 5 beers.

I don't use DV on my main screen, but on my crappy old Philips 170B2 it makes the world of difference.

 

I like around 15%. Trouble is, I find some of the beta NVIDIA drivers sometimes don't seem to let the DV settings stick. It's quite a common issue you'll see people talk about in the forums now and again.

 

I keep mine at 33%.

 

The *****-Monitor Test?

Sorry, but your link is 404.

 

I set mine to 6% on my Samsung 226BW, it's a bright monitor to start with so anymore and it feels like it's burning my eyes . I generally test it by moving the slider until i notice it then move it back until the effects lessen.

 

Use it at 75% on my BenQ G2400W LCD Monitor in Vista 64 & 50% in XP. Also use it on my laptop at 50%.

Can't live without this setting. I set it up with all my computers (7 of them).

 

i use 0% brightness and 100% gamma...easier on my eyes and cause of this DV does help alot.

 

Wow. I was totally just pondering whether I wanted a 4870 and never realized I'd have to give up Digital Vibrance.

**** that... I keep it set to %50 on my desktop and 100% on mylaptop and can't live without it. Colors are a bit exaggerated, but its easier on the eyes and prettier.

 

The option has been around for a loooong time. I used to use it b4 I got a good monitor. Back on my CRT believe it or not. I have no need for it now though. My monitor has great color and contrast without it.

 

I use DV around 10% for my LCD also. I just like a little more saturated colors i guess.

 

Mhhh the forum blocks the word n okia

 

luv it set it to 15/20% on my nec xe21 makes games just look a whole lot better
