What display settings to use? any tips?

[Wiken]

The buttons on my monitor for adjusting the contrast etc its broken.
So i was wondering if there is any who has some tips for me to what settings i could use in programs that uses the vidcap driver.
Ill guess people normally adjust them for each capturing (but what to recomend for mostly anything?

i mean in diplay properties in programs like avi_io and virtualdub

Saturation = ?
Brightness = ?
Contrast = ?
Hue = ?

Please let me know what you normally have it on

btw, im using matrox marvel g400,
and mainly the captures is from digital satalite receiver or homevideos(vcr)!!!

The recommended TV-Out settings in Powerdesk, or DVDMax settings in the dualhead cards, when doing video are suggested by Matrox to be;

NTSC

Brightness : 180
Contrast : 234
Saturation : 137
Hue : 0

PAL

Brightness : 167
Contrast : 255
Saturation : 138
Hue : 0

As for the Display settings in AVI_IO, PC-VCR or other proggies I use:

Saturation: 500
Brightness: 549
Contrast: 500
Hue: 500

Should i set both Desktop tv settings and DvDmax tv settings to that you mentioned?
Or only one of those should i change?

[Dr Mordrid]

I just set the DVDMax settings. I mentioned the TV-Out settings for those cards/driver combos where there is no DVDMax option.

Hmm, do you allways use the display settings on default?
cause it seems that my videos are a little to bright if its not just my monitor that are pretty broken

and i wont do that much with the settings since my monitor is not possible to change contrast, brightness on etc anymoore ( i usually capture from digital satalite) is there any reason for changing then? or just stick with the default?
