I use a 24" AOC Full HD monitor for Xbox 360 gaming. I have been tweeking my monitor lately and I noticed a setting on my monitor called colour boost.

I don't know anything technical about monitors so I'm not quite sure how it works, however when I set it to auto the colors seem much more vibrant and if I switch back to default, eventhing looks quite washed out.

I looked at the AOC site and it said this about color boost when it's set on auto and full.

Auto Detect: When “Auto Detect” is turned on, every pigment will be detected and self-adjusted to render a lively picture.

Full Enhance: When "Full Enhance" is turned on, the color saturation of the entire screen is fully enriched, thus all colors become more vibrant.



There are other settings for it such as 'Green field, sky blue' etc etc.

Which would be the best setting for gaming? Auto or Full enhance?

Is there any reason at all not to have colour boost on at all?

Cheers

Thanks for the explanation. Much appreciated. I think I'll keep it on auto for now. I've only compared default settings and colour boost settings on RDR and Fifa 11, but with colour boost they're much better to look at.

Cheers
