I found making changes on the fly made major improvements and in some respects it was almost jaw droppingly stunning. Of course the last part is purely subjective and perhaps not to everyones taste and can mess up how the rest of your apps and desktop look. The idea was not to set the monitor up to some universally acceptable standard as you would for photo editing but to see if I could make the game look better according to my personal criteria.

For instance my monitor has several settings like User, Text and Cinema. I also started with various temperature and gamma levels and then played around with the brightness, contrast and colour levels to see what sort of output I could get.

In the end I was getting deep, rich colour without any garishness and good contrast between planes and ground. As I said, water looked particularly good.

I am not sure if there is any point posting a screen shot as everyones settings are different so the colours would not look the same.
