I'm using my monitors own colour profile in Windows 10 and wan't to know which AMD driver setting I should use in order to display colors accurately. Within the driver there are two options for color temperature, Automatic and Manual (6500k).
Switching between automatic and 6500k I see a difference in blue and red colours.
My question is which one of those settings is the "correct choice" for accurate color display in my case?
I have set the pixelformat to Full RGB 4:4:4 PC Standard.
Thanks.
Are you sure? Because the default driver setting is 6500k, so when you click on reset it will go to manual.
Can you explain as to why automatic is the right choice? Thx
Because it doesn't override any values set by Windows or your monitor.
Thx for the input. Just to get a better understanding, do you by chance know what the manual setting is for then? Why would someone use 6500k over automatic?
If they had no other way to adjust their calibration, such as a laptop, but it's really a holdover from pre Windows 7 days when the display calibration was very limited. Also, if you wanted to temporarily adjust your settings to cheat at games, you could use it.
I recommend 6500K.
HDMI/DP use standard colour spaces (sRGB, BT2020 etc) that typically use 6500K and well-behaved monitors will convert to their own colour temp/gamut. Some do not, they simply reinterpret data in their internal colour space which is wrong.
In those cases Automatic is better - it means the driver will convert to monitor gamut. But if the monitor is well-behaved, then Automatic is counterproductive since both driver and monitor are doing that conversion.
Automatic.
