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.
What about people who have laptops with nvidia optimus technology intel+Nvidia how to configure for intel for ( desktop/movies/photos) and nvidia for games ? I got X-Rite i1Display Pro Plus to optimize big monitor only nvidia card, but how to do in laptops for too graphics card.
Can you make this video for laptop settings? Or they are the same?
@@diuran1919 u should be able to do similar stuff through the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel but for games I'm not sure about the vibrance/saturation but most do have some in-game gamma control.
Could you do the same video about the lg cx oled ? also keep up the great content !
Can you help me out. Should I get the Aoc 24g2 or the Gigabyte G24F?
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.
Same is true for audio and bass etc. There's accurate, and then there's "fun".
I don't know but upgrading from a 45% NTSC panel to a 72% NTSC one was a huge upgrade for me. Colour vibrancy matters.
@@dann6067 of course it does, but the point is that the content being displayed is not accurately mapped to the higher color gamut, because it was made with srgb in mind.
@@griffin1366 this is so true. Flat or bright headphones cause ear fatigues very fast.
Just remember to set your digital vibrance and gamma back to default when not playing guys! I remember when I was going to do some online shopping one day and every single piece of clothing looked like garbage until I realized what was the issue.
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.
Which options?
Dont use taa
And remember, when you get done aliasing to burn all your credentials so as to leave no paper trail
@maximada2003 all these damn smart@$$ trolls responding to you, and the internet used to be so wholesome
Digital foundry do a lot of in depth videos on graphics and rendering techniques, can't recommend them enough
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.
After playing at 80 in VALORANT. Going back to 50 is like going back decades lol
100 digital way better
Well this completely depends on what monitor you use, we all dont use the same one lol
I have mine set to 100
@@Yukito590 I play on 100
My takeaway from this video, for Nvidia users, bump digital vibrancy to 55%. Good balance, slightly better colors. 80% looks horrible IMO.
I set it to 100 because my monitor is just so flat out of the box 😭
Depends on the monitor tho. You may need to set it higher then others.
depends on the game as well
i bump it to 60-75%, it looks clean for me, but its based on personal preference
What is the default vibrancy?
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!
Helpful information. Especially the digital vibrance tidbit, I never knew anything about that. Games are so much more colorful now.
Really like these videos on settings/performance options for your hardware
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!
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".
THIS
The GeForce driver should try and select the appropriate option for your display. A tv is likely going to use Limited (although some can detect and switch between either), and a monitor will use Full.
If you use Full on a display that is designed for a limited range, you will experience color clipping which is not ideal or accurate to the intended image.
@@paulbmiller24 most modern tvs have option for full range, shouln't be an issue
"Full" range 0-255 is what monitors support. 16-235 is for older or low-end TV's only
this should be on by default on most monitors to be honest since i found out about theese settings its first think i do on any monitor or display,you can do this on Intel HD GPUs also its just called differently same with AMD Cards (Pixel Ratio settings full RGP i believe it is)....
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
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.
lol
Yes. Because its va panel and have better contrast and less overexposure
This was great video my man, cheers my good ladd!
You helped me with Digital Vibrance, I nearly returned my VA panel for an IPS. Thank you a lot!
digital vibrance made my colours so much brighter! , thank you!
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!
Where exactly? I can't find it
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.
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👍👍
Hey! I just asked about this the other day and now there's a whole video! :D Thanks!
been on 100% vibrance constant for like 2 years now, my monitor looking brighter than my future.
is that saying much?
@@hgfkowgxnfkpeosuvjgosa4431 no

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
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.
HDR is more about light than colour but I see where you're trying to get to.
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!
OMG THANK YOU, after driver update my colors were horrible, thanks to this they look amazing again
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!
Ngl the quality of your content are on another level...
I use a colorimeter, such as the Spyder, to color calibrate my monitor for gaming and when editing my wildlife photos.
Is it really that worth it over the years for monitors? Is there any cheaper options I wonder..
I've been struggling trying to get my colors right for Valorant in my XL2546K. Thank you for this!

very helpful video thanks a lot.
Most people aren't getting the best out of their equipment in general, specially monitors!
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.
80 can be a bit aggressive on digital vibrance 65 or 60 is a safe but noticable increase.
Was waiting for this. Thanks!
YES! been waiting for this video for so long
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.
windows 11 has it
auto hdr
We need better displays but if using oled TV yeah
@@joeykeilholz925 that's exactly what I use, it's awesome.
Just logos themselves look a billion times better with it, it's crazy.
@@Subhrajyoti Thx for the info, just looked into and you are correct. That makes w11 an immediate swap for me.
I wonder how well it will work/look compared to native game support. Hopefully it's makes monitor makers more likely to produce more/better hdr monitors.
@@sladewilson9273 so far what I've seen it acts like the digital vibrance slider described in this video. Some games benefit, others actually get worse, but mostly improvements. It really depends on how the game developer used their color pallette as to how well it works. My big problem with it is there is no control over it whatsoever besides on and off. For sdr content you really can get the same result from what he described in this video. I'm not hating on it, but don't get your hopes up too much. Now monitors need to move past cheapo hdr 400 and 600 specs so we can actually see all this hdr they keep talking about.
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".
What does it do?
@@BoyMoonii Makes the colors much more vibrant. Try it out
U only need this if you use HDMI, because nvidia accidentally thinks your using a TV not a monitor.
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.
I like hi-res audio with accurate bitrate playback and I like accurate display.
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).
4:47 what do u recommend for a CRT monitor? I see clipping at 100% vibrance
Thanks mate there is no other videos about this topic 🙂
Fantastic video, thanks for the tips!
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
what do i do if i don’t have Nvidia like it shows up when i right click but it doesn’t work
@@Truluvcockers what exactly do you mean? Do you have an Nvidia card?
Never thought you'd lose performance for that setting...
I've tried it on OW2, it adds too much input lag. but ok for solo games
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!
i can bet you will not notice the Hz difference at all. From 30 to 60 and 60 to 144Hz the upgrade is noticeable and it becomes less noticeable the further you go like 240 to 360 and definitely 360 to 390 you will notice.
Go for it if it offers other features you like, unless you want the bragging rights for having higher refresh rate monitor.
@@davey379 I think it all depends on the game you play and how unique every frame is. I actually can notice the 360-390 jump with or without BFI in overwatch for instance, that’s about it though. What you do notice though is how snappy the responsive the input lag reduction is. That being said, I am considering exchanging for the 1440p 270hz. His latest review was pretty convincing considering the sharper image and response time gap.
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
I’m subscribing to you just because you are a fellow Yoru main. I don’t see many of them so respect ✊
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.
Yes i have 2 games that does not use the icc at fullscreen and thats crysis 2 and 3
If you play in windows borderless ICC profiles work.
@@theoldpcgamer77 Only few games support it sometimes games that support it will get bugged and does not support anymore. Still it is worth noting. They are in ~1%
really good content , support from france !
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
How is he not Over 1M Sups?, He gave us everything, Keep up the good work
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.
No? Enabled + boost is for when you have a slow CPU, the only extra it does is it sets the GPU power mode to maximum performance.
@@eniff2925 i have a 3060 ( Not ti ) should be enable plus boost or no
@@tommydavidwalker2445 what is your CPU? enable + boost does no harm.
I feel that srgb which is the standard used to create games is better for people who play for hours specially at night. It feels easier on the eyes helping avoid eye strain and fatigue.
great video!!! explained everything really good :)
Do you think the RGB settings for the Zowie XL2411K will also work well with the Zowie XL2411P? anyone answer if you know
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").
I calibrate my monitor with a Spyder 3.
I don't see any problem with upping the vibrancy of a fantastical game world.
I like true colour accuracy for typical use 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.
Thank you, this was helpful.
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)
My monitor (Asus pg329q) has an saturation setting whichs seems to do the same as digital vibrance does, maybe your monitor can do it aswell.
8:07 Settings for AMD Users
finally, a gamer who knows electronics and how they can help.
I tried to increase the vibrancy, and now my monitor looks like it has HDR enabled. It’s quite fun
Your taste in games (BF1, Hellblade, etc) makes me love your channel even more
IKR!
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.
My Man comes through again 💪🏻
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.
Gotta love how AMD's saturation setting can be set on a game by game basis.
So can Nvidias... Game per game basis or presets after your liking.
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.
Also Nvidia has filters to saturate specific games too using Alt + F3 in-game. You can use the colors filter and put all sliders to neutral except vibrancy, it works the same as the setting in the control panel but it only applies to that game.
My beloved Senua. I need Senua's Saga like right now ;).
Thanks for the tips ;).

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
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.
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
Depends on the game your playing, other games doesn't have that kind of settings
Thank you very much. Great info.
Hey Optimum, I was wondering what desk you use, thanks for that!
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.
for low quality ones i think they should
I don't know how but I read this as best coolers for gaming. 😂 Still enjoying the video though 😂
Wow, ty so much, very informative !
Thank you so much, it really really helped me alot
anything for intel integrated graphics?

What do you think of the Delux M800 with the PMW3335 sensor? Do you think it's a good mouse, do you think it's worth buying?
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.
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?
Vibrancy amplifies the difference between color values, increasing contrast. It can theoretically help, especially when character models and the environment have a similar color. If it doesn't effect how you play, I wouldn't bother, as while it could give you a competitive edge, it also changes the intended visual experience.
Im using this setting from years. Keep it on 65% and forget. Colors looks vibrant and poping.
I'm not entirely sure, but gamma control on amd is called "brightness" instead and it's the first option.
2:56 cries in Intel HD graphics
Try Escape from Tarkov! I am in trouble in dark areas like interchange in that game :D
I feel you completely bro, try this: Nvidia Control Panel > Gamma +1.70 Contrast +55% - In game Post FX: Brightness 0 and Clarity 0 (The rest of the settings like sharpening are up to you) and also Color Grading: Chillwave on 33 Intensity. This helped me out a lot!! I can literally see every dark spot on any map, but it's especially overpowered on maps like Interchange!

my asus tuf monitor actually was very saturated out of the box and it just feels so much better!
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.
we arn't looking for accuracy of the color, but better visibility in fps or solo games. I turn vibrancy up in fps games because like he said it makes targets easier to pick out at a distance because the red will shine brightest against other colors. I turn my sharpness settings all the way up for the same reason. It makes background objects harder to see, but tbh i don't care if Im trying to shoot the thing in front of me. Solo games I pretty much turn up darker colors using a cooler color temperature, because I feel it looks best.
No fucking shit, Sherlock. Why do content creators and photo and video editors act like most people do that stuff at all?
what a stupid comment. the whole point of the video is to show the benefits it has for fps gaming. stfu

You can create some really nice custom color filters with Reshade, as long as you aren't using it maliciously most games don't flag it.
also just a tip, if you have control over individual color channels on your monitor (outside NVCP) turn down the red about 5% before boosting vibrance do avoid over saturation
