PSA: If you are using HDMI, check for full 0-255 RGB support

[ohaimark]

If you are using an HDMI cable to connect your computer to something, make sure your graphics card AND screen are using the full 0-255 rgb range (if it's supported by your screen). Graphics cards often default to the limited 16-235 range, which is craptacular. It provides roughly half the full mode's contrast and chops some colors off.

I JUST learned about this, and it annoys me to no end that I didn't know about it before.

Use a modern connection like dispayport or don't use a peasant resolution like 1080p and use 1600p 4k or 4k DCI ( yeh keep dreaming andrew )

Thanks for the heads up however on the tip as this has made me think to check that my monitor is using the correct colourspace. I think i will set it to ypbpr 4.4.4 chroma

There is also some very slight black on white ghosting dunno if a custom res will help but getting my monitor to display 4k 60 and not 4k 30 was a pain as window would refuse to let me use displayport 1.4 even tho the monitor was set to it , some plugging and unplugging got it to work just about. i suspect a crappy cable , anyone know of a good dispayport 1.4 rated cable ( 3 m).

If only everything used SDI it would be simple a man can dream .

Then again this is a problem with large VA panels and 40 inches is as big as it gets for VA

Saw the video in the OP.
1. Between both half-screens I see almost no difference, and certainly not such a difference that it would bother me.
2. Do you guys really "play" that kind of things and really call it a "game"?

[andrewjoy]

I notice a slight improvement on scenes with lots of colour ( when i watch the video) , but considering the whole game is in mud brown and gun metal grey you would not notice on that video so much.

Get a game with loads of colours you will notice it.

The most noticeable difference would be in the black point and in contrast, not in colours that much.

What about the high resolution game??
