What’s wrong with my movie player
August 6th, 2016
If i go on YouTube, or any other stream method like Netflix, or XBMC, the picture is
Perfect, yet no matter what movie I play that I downloaded, the picture color looks way off. It’s like its too yellow or muggy, hard to explain, I can post picture if needed Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on? I have the latest driver for my GPU. I have multiple different players like VLC.
What monitors do you have?
Some automatically adjust their colour profile when it detects that the source is a movie.
I have two both have the problem. The one I got today is ASUS VS278Q-P. The other monitor is also ASUS not sure what model it is but it has the same problem.
Splendid™ Video Intelligence Technology
The exclusive Splendid Video Intelligence Technology optimizes video performance and image fidelity by enhancing color, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. 6 preset video modes (Scenery, Theater, Game, Night View, sRGB and Standard) can be selected via a hotkey.
Most likely both monitors have this. Change the monitor off of “Theater” – this dims the picture and often it gets somewhat yellowish.
