All videos on VLC are paler

Postby Sociacioux » 09 May 2011 04:31

Hello there,

I've been using VLC for quite some time, it worked fine till a week ago after I assembled my new PC, the screen of everything I play on it looks paler than it is, here is a screen showing what I mean, on the left is K-Lite while on the right VLC, both are the latest versions.

I tried searching through the options to find a way to fix the colors but I had no luck, so what is the problem exactly???

Thank you, problem solved.

However, I should ask, does changing this setting have any effect on other GPU uses??
