February 8Feb 8 Hi Everybody, Just wondering what everyone is using for their monitors and if there are any advantages in using particular settings. Default or Nvidia settings? - I use Nvidia Desktop Color Depth? - I use Highest 32 bit Output Color Format? - I use RGB Output Color Depth? - I use 12 bpc Output Dynamic Range? - I use Full Thanks Former Beta Tester - (for a few companies) - As well as provide Regional Voice Set Recordings Two: AMD-9950X | One: AMD-7950X3D | Three: Asus TUF 4090s | Three: 64GB DDR5 RAM 6000mhz | Three: Cosair 1300 P/S | Three: 990Pro 2TB NVME One: Eugenius ECS2512 - 2.5 GHz Switch | Three: Ice Giant Elite CPU Coolers | Three: 75" 4K UHDTVs | One: Boeing 737NG Flight Deck

XPlane12 doesn't support 10-bit or 12-bit output, the engine support HDR rendering but you don't see true 10bit or 12bit output. Pending your monitors, YCbCr 4:4:4 might produce better image quality than RGB or VISA versa ... really depends on the monitor/TV. When changing output color the TV/Monitor may "save" adjustments in it's internal memory and in most cases each format type will need to be adjusted to look correct.

I used the default Nvidia settings. Although my monitors were identical, I had to adjust each one separately. For some reason, colors, brightness, and sharpness did not work well in Nvidia. It took lots of time before I got it right. I hope you have good insurance, as it helped me when my garage caught fire and burned to the ground. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
