[REMINDER] Set your ingame color space to BT.709

[☢FarCry☢]

This is a friendly reminder to set your ingame color space to BT.709.

PCs normaly use full color range, while consoles and TVs mostly use limited range. Capcom devs forgot those things and their games look washed out on PC. (RE2, DMC5) Using BT.709 color space helps to solve this problem. But you have to make the initial brightness adjustment again. This is important!

Now go and play some nice games!

I set it and was like: "Did something changed?". Thanks for explaning, sweetie.

Actually, sRGB is the proper colorspace for computers. It's more or less the same as BT.709, but with a linear section near black in its gamma curve[en.wikipedia.org]. It was designed for computers, where this extra boost to gamma improves visibility under office lighting.

The only difference between BT.709 and sRGB is actually the gamma curve. Full range RGB is a completely different subject unrelated to colorspace.

Good information, thank you.

NOOOOOO it's wrong, 709 is a better "lighting system" imo; it's a color preset of low medium and highs brightness tones that works automatically to avoid losses of color in one of them or in between them mixed. 709 IS A MOST MODERN SYSTEM of colors !!! Though the difference is almost none, i'd choose 709 so probably the fog in the game wouldn't make that typical white blur milky like, i guess (i really dk this one). But since both are very similar i'd definitely pick 709 that avoids twisted colors example: yellow plus red becomes orange when it should be some pixels yellow and other red ones... AGAIN, visually the difference is imperceptible unless for particular details in the game. So i'd pick a more modern system of colors distribution for sure. Yes both have exactly the same range...

I found the setting for the color space but why when I go to brightness setting its just a pitch black screen with a crosshair on it and there's no brightness slider or anything

You probably got this already but for anyone else finding this from a Google search:

Press A/X on your Xbox/PS controller (or equivalent). You'll go to the brightness adjustments from this point.
