Washed Out Colours at Lower Resolutions?

[Francisè von Spitroast]

Hi. On my HDTV when playing games or on desktop, anything lower than 1080p has progressively more washed out colours the lower I put the resolution. 800x600 may as well be black adn white with a slight hint of colour, 900p (which is what I want to play games at) looks only slightly worse than 1080p so easily playable but the issue is that the colours are more washed out and greyer than1080p. Anyone have a fix? This didn't happen on my monitor. I want to play newer games on a GTX750Ti but I can't do that with the performance I'm looking for at 1080p so I want to lower it down to 900p. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I put the output dynamic range to full in the NVIDIA control panel which helped a bit but still not as good as 1080p for some reason. Also, how much of a performance increase is 1842x1026 to 1920x1080? I assume barely anything considering they're very similar and I can barely tell a visual difference, but I was just wondering.

That is normal; but also depends on the TV/Monitor, they all vary.
This is why you run Native Resolution; if the GPU can't handle that; get a better GPU

It is also why PC and HDTV are not a good mix; get a quality monitor instead.

I've got a great monitor, it's just I like the setting in the lounge better. Shame, seems like a weird thing to happen. Oh well, thanks.

You can combat this issue; but I would not suggest going below 720p/768p on a 1080p TV
At the very least, whatever res you apply, stick to ones that are 16:9 ratio > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:9#Common_resolutions

Now your TV has all sorts of Presets and manual changes you can make from within its Menu system with regards to Brightness/Contrast/Color Balance and even Sharpness; please try this.

On the OS/GPU side of things, u can make adjusts also via NVIDIA Control Panel for things like Brightness/Contrast/Gamma/Color Balance

Thanks for the help, but I think I'll just keep it at 1080p and lower settings for games or deal with the washed out colours for upcoming games.
