hd looks better in WMP than in VLC :S

Postby romelrc » 17 May 2011 18:11

whenever I play a HD clip on vlc (be it 720 or 1080), the quality isn't as good as it looks when playing that same clip on Windows Media Player.
It seems that they colors and brightness/contrast are worse than in WMP.

Is there any way of manually changing the levels of this in VLC?
