Re: Help! Washed Out Picture When Watching Video
[quote=”phoneguyinpgh”]
Go to the ATI CC panel. There is an area to tweek the settings for Video playback. These don’t effect the desktop settings at all they are strictly for video playback (ie WMP). I would always use a DVD of The Incredibles because it has a basic THX optimizer in the bonus section, ran WMC7 in windowed mode so I could see the video and tweek the settings. There is a Gamma setting that might be causing your video to be washed out, I’d check that. But the video settings in ATI CC is what you want to be looking at.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Seems I did not get emails on your replies and my age had me forget 🙁
I have messed around with CCC and know the Video section well. It seemed strange at first to think that video content could be totally independent of the graphics and such. I notice that most when watching the local news. All the graphics with the weather are vivid colors, but when they switch to a video image of the live people the colors look washed out.
I will try tweaking the settings under video. I hate to do this due to my red/green color deficiency. I know when something is right, but don’t ask me to tweak it there. To save me some trouble can you tell me what settings under VIDEO I don’t want to touch? I know you said to look at Gamma, but are there ones that should have nothing to do with it?
