Xbox360 Version of Demo
Problem : Excessive Brightness / Gamma
Fix Needed : Gamma Adjust Slider
Most Affected : LCD Monitor / Displays
I have connected my 360 Elite to an Acer AL2416W ws 24inch Monitor via HDMI digital cable. Grid demo colours are very "washed out" looking and the white levels are excessively high as if the Gamma is excessive. Perhaps a result of the Hdr Bloom effect ?
I tested the game in 720p and 1080p also trying different reference levels. I have tried all the different configs and tuning the contrast/brightness on the LCD monitor as well as tweaking the colour temp without much improvement.
I then connected my 360Elite to my Sony CRT 32 inch widescreen TV via composite cable. Set display to 1080i which is highest my Sony goes to. The display is very noticeable better than on the ACER LCD and although the Bloom white levels are still way too high the game is totally playable and more enjoyable.
As I normally play on my ACER LCD ws I am hoping Codemasters are aware of this problem and that a Gamma Level adjust slider is implemented in the retail release or that a patch may follow over XBL soon after release.
Many of us play on LCD monitors now and I am certain many will find as I have that it needs to be fixed asap.
Thanks codies, the demo is great fun, I hope you may give us some positive feedback on this problem soon.
cheers
