Your brightness/gamma/contrast?
- Thread starter Pluberus
- Start date
default settings. I don't want to cheapen the atmosphere and dull out the beauty by cranking up gamma for artificial light, just to noob things up in dark places. Ok so maybe someone who's actually played with the settings can provide better insight...

Different displays and colour profiles will produce drastically different images, so there's no 'optimum' setting as what looks good on one system may not look so good on another.
You gotta experiment really

I spent a full hour playing around with the settings yesterday.
If you want to try it do what I did, start a solo map, then pause the game (pause key) and open the console.
You can adjust the brightness, gamma and contrast in real time without having to enter/exit the menu.
I belive the default settings were something like this:
brightness 0.9
gamma 0.9
contrast 0.8
Just change the values and see for yourself.
I've noticed that if you increase the Gamma and the Contrast a lot you get vibrant colors, which looks cool and sometimes really pretty but it will also ruin your eyes (mines at least).
After a while I decided to leave the gamma on 0.9 and simply play around with the contrast (brightness should be similar to the contrast for the best effect). Im getting a sort of grey-ish tone (sort of like the default settings) but at least my eyes dont bleed each time i turn around a corner and encounter a bright light.
I wish there was a separate command to adjust color saturation, that would make things look way better, but I believe this is a post processing effect not supported by the engine (citation needed).

I did have my contrast up full, my brightness almost up full, and my gamma at like 0.1
But it got very hard to see in certain areas so I changed them around.

I change them often because of the variance in maps but I usually run
0.8 (with my monitor at 100 brightness)/1.2/1
0.8 (with my monitor at 100 brightness)/1.2/1

You guys realize that the gamma/brightness/contrast level that you will see on the screen is entirely dependent on the monitor that you use and its settings. You can't just take the settings of someone else and hope to get good results unless you have the exact same hardware as the other person.
Just go for what looks best to you.

Yeah, it'll vary on different monitors.
I keep gamma on 1 and contrast on default and tweak darkness until it looks "right", based on the preview picture and the color bars. It should look dark, but not too dark.
I don't turn it up bright because it looks bad and it's supposed to be dark.

I run slightly higher brightness than the default settings.
But I agree, alot depends on what you have your monitor set at.
I have my monitor set at 100% contrast, 50% brightness and have the color temp set at 6500K. I have it set that way so I don't have blinding bright white backgrounds when I am browsing the internet.
