Looks like I might be getting a new monitor soon, which has sparked my recurring curiosity about how exactly you are supposed to calibrate the darn things. I admit to being totally mystified by the interplay of brightness, contrast, gamma, etc.
So what do you do with a new display? Do you adjust the monitor settings AND the settings in your graphics driver software? What do you consider satisfactory?
Do you fiddle at all with your GPU settings? Do you overclock? When, why, and how?
I realize that the color settings and the GPU settings are very different animals - they are just two things I do not REALLY understand, and are a big part of a game looking good.
I'm not a big tech guy. I just want my games to run smooth and look pretty. :smallsmile:
