Help with Nvidia Control Panel

[Hunched]

It's detecting my native settings incorrectly, what it automatically sets it at results in blacks being grey.

I can solve this by choosing 1920x1080 under PC, but I have to do that EVERY time I restart my PC, as it never actually saves it there, and resets to the incorrect settings...

 

 Here's the options I'm talking about: http://imgur.com/a/QZm8b

 

Can I make it stay on the 1920x1080 setting under PC permanently? Because this is obnoxious...

I would suggest using the Windows settings rather than the Nvidia ones.

But the Nvidia one is correct. It just refuses to stay put.

There's no way to fix that?

What's so bad bad about using the windows one

If you put it into the Windows settings and set the resolution and Apply it. It will stay. I think Control Panel could be overriding the Nvidia one.

I can't even find where to adjust color range in Windows settings, they seem far more basic...

Color managment in Windows tells me to screw with the buttons on my monitor, not the problem.

Don't know what all this is, it only allows me to adjust resolution, not the problem.

What res is it putting in on after start up? top image or bottom?

Top one, with (native) in the setting. It thinks I'm using a TV, and ruins the black levels and colors in general.

So I have to manually set it as a PC setting, as seen in picture 2, which works, but resets every restart.

 

Resolution is not the issue, color is.

Nobody can help? My monitor is being detected as a TV.

You shouldn't have to change anything in the Nvidia color settings. I'd say hit Restore Defaults in the driver, and if its still wrong its likely your monitor or the monitor's settings.

Then how do I change the native resolution of my monitor, because nothing else is working.

It supports the setting I am changing it to, it just doesn't stay on it permanently.

You confused me a bit by saying resolution wasn't the issue

 

As said earlier, make sure you're set to 1920x1080 in the Windows control panel. In my Nvidia control panel, I see two options: "1080p, 1920 x 1080" and "1920 x 1080 (Native)." I have no idea if there could be any conflict there, but make sure you've got the (Native) one selected if there are two.

The resolution, as in pixels, is not the issue.

The native resolution has limited levels for blacks and colors, because it's thinking it's a TV, which usually don't support full range like monitors.

1920x1080 isn't the issue.

 

Having blacks be grey and colors washed out because it thinks my monitor is a TV, and the native resolution is for a TV, is the issue.

 

The (native) resolution is incorrect because it ruins colors.

The 1920x1080 under "PC" as shown in the pictures in my first post, that is correct, that is my actual proper setting, which it keeps reverting away from.

It's the only way black is actually black.

Does anyone know where I could get help for this? 

 

I don't think anyone here understands that no matter what I do I can't get full range 0-255, without it being disabled constantly.

[Hunched]

Solved my own problem.
