Acer Ferrari Series - screen color and contrast adjustment

Written by

I'd like to share with everyone a way to tweak your gamma, brightness, and contrast for your LCD screen. As you know, the Ferrari keyboard only allows you to adjust the overall brightness of the picture. Using ATI's Catalyst control panel, you can further adjust the individual levels to help you find just the right settings.

Depending on your tastes, the default screen settings might appear a bit bright and not very saturated with color, at least to my liking. After I updated my ATI Mobility Catalyst drivers to the latest and greatest, I updated the following settings in the ATI control panel as follows:

Gamma: 1.00
Brightness: -45
Contrast: 95

To adjust your settings:

1. Load up the ATI control panel (either right-click the desktop and select the ATI Catalyst Control Center or get to it via Display Properties)
2. On the "View" button on the toolbar, make sure you have 'Advanced View' selected
3. In the "Graphics Settings" area (the treeview), select "Color"
4. Adjust the sliders until you find the levels that suit you best.

After doing so, the screen is much more readable and I can easily see higher color contrast and definition.
