Hi
I have recently build a small form factor PC as a multimedia center for my TV.
So everything went fine except one, my mom keeps on complaining that all of the videos, including retail DVD discs, are slightly redder than it is played on a dvd player or another computer. I have tried using the color correction that came with the nvidia drivers, both the overlay settings and desktop, but it is really hard to get the correct color by changing the color curve.
So the next program that I have used is powerstrip. Powerstrip can let me change the gamma and contrast for the red color on its own, but the problem is that it only changes the color of the desktop, it does not affect the playback of videos whatsoever

So what programs can I calibrate the picture quality of video playback?

Thanks!

On a side note: Beware of the Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 motherboard, it got a common post problem. It took me alot of time to fix this problem and it sucks if you build this for lan parties (good thing I got a better one to do this job

)
