I recently bought a Samsung SB27D590C 27'' 1080p monitor and I am not satisfied with the way it looks, and I know I have screwed up calibration settings somewhere along the way. I realize that Nvidia runs in Limited range HDMI as opposed to full range, and I don't have it set to full range right now. I was going to try this out, but was wondering if there were some truly easy and straightforward tools to use to adjust everything. The tool on OS X has always been something I have been able to use without issue, but finding something on the Windows side that is well documented with sample images and textual descriptions is hard. Windows display calibration is a joke, it has dithered low resolution images they cropped out of a setup video from Windows XP Media Center Edition 12 years ago. Most things I have found expect you to automatically know what you're looking for, and give a vague description. I have tried Calibrize and several online test images, as well as QuickGamma. I don't like the results of any of these. Help would really be appreciated.
Edit: Full range HDMI look like someone applied a heavy burn filter or something to all of my games. It's pretty bad. I have been meaning to switch to displayPort. Would this have any significant impact on color?
