I cannot imagine if I had to do graphics design with the old settings. The OpenGL-based game began to render exactly the same as on my non-Windows computer. I selected full range there as well: Adjust video color settings -> With the NVIDIA settings -> Advanced -> Dynamic range: Full.Īfter applying the settings, my computer text rendering quality improved a lot. They only apply to applications using specific technologies. There are similar settings for videos under the NVIDIA control panel.
Output color depth: 8bpc (or 10bpc if your monitor supports it). Apply the following settings", choose NVIDIA color settings Select Display -> Change resolution from the left. I do not know exactly if it happens for everyone, or only for those who had the early Windows 10 Creators update. Furthermore, it gets reset to default every time you update the NVIDIA drivers. Unfortunately, the default value is limited. Based on the information on this Reddit thread, it seems like that detection algorithm was dropped from the NVIDIA drivers and manual override option was provided. Of course, there are bugs in the screen detection algorithm and this limitation gets applied to normal computer monitors. It is supposed to be enabled only when a television screen is connected to the PC. I have absolutely no idea why this even exists and I did not find any good source of information that explains it. Turns out that there is a graphics driver setting that limits the range of colors sent to the screen. Surprisingly, screenshots and captured video streams appeared in full color when viewed on another computer. I also played around with different monitors, cables (DisplayPort vs HDMI), and color profiles. Here is a thread from the Microsoft support forum. Some other Windows 10 users noticed it as well. I was an early user of this update due to it being a requirement for the Windows Subsystem for Linux. The issue appeared with the Windows 10 Creators Update in 2017. The game renders in much better contrast on my non-Windows machine. An OpenGL game was the first application where I actually noticed the bad colors. The issue affects mostly text rendering, video streams, and games. 
The colors on the screen look washed-out. However, recently I had to do some work-related things on it. As I use the machine mostly for gaming, I previously did not invest much time into solving it. I had an interesting color-related graphics issue on my Windows 10 machine.
