I've had someone try to help me figure this out on my nvidia system before.

Does this affect 3D settings, or just video playback? I was under the impression that the video color settings didn't apply to 3D (but then again, I haven't taken PC gaming all that seriously in many years).

I think it's just video playback. I always have it turned on, gets rid of grey bars in vlc.

Better yet, get yourself a high-quality monitor and a color calibrator. ;)
