It boggles my mind how Nvidia could get HDMI wrong for so long. And there is a simple drop down menu in the catalyst control center to change it if you need to.

That would trick the driver into outputting the correct signal.Īfter I switched to AMD earlier this year my R9 290 would default to the correct setting. What I had to do was create a custom resolution and set the refresh rate to something not exactly 60 (e.g. The video card would just assume my monitor was an HDTV and output a signal with a limited color space (16-235) resulting in washed out colors. I've known this and had to use a stupid workaround for years because the setting in the Nvidia control panel didn't work.
