[SOLVED] Nvidia Control Settings: Limited vs Full RGB ?

[PCSlayer3001]

I was wondering what the difference between limited and full RGB (color/dynamic range) was, in respect to gaming, and watching/streaming videos online.

There are two options, the first is under resolution, and the other is video color settings. What’s the difference between the two? What if I set resolution to full, and video color settings to limited (which is what it was originally)? Thanks!

limited is for TVs and videos and anything alike, as they dont use full rgb
if you have monitor, use full range RGB, even if you play limited videos, pc will automaticaly convert colors

video color settings doesnt have limited set as default...default is set to use video player settings

To make it easy. Use full rgb when possible. Most tv and monitor that support doesn't to have a negative impact from enabling it.

If I have resolution set to full, and video color settings set to limited, would that affect anything? For example, in a game, would the 'resolution setting [full]' affect the game, but when I go into an open tab to watch a video, would the 'video color settings [limited]' then affect the coloring of that video? I just don't understand why there are two places with the same type of settings.

The thing I'm worried about is the settings under video color settings. I don't want my 'blacks to be crushed' when I set it to [full] while I watch videos, and am not playing a game at that moment.

its there, coz some players doesnt have video codec configuration and may play it incorrectly..u would see too much black or too much whites..or washed out colors
and its handy if you play videos on tv while plaing games on monitor, not every TVs support full rgb (most old TVs), any recent TV has auto rgb selection, which mades that easier
