Hallo Leute,
neuer Monitor war fällig, zum Glück gabs den BENQ GL2760H gerade im Angebot. Mit Grausen musste ich feststellen das sich nach der Installation des Farbprofils und des W10 Creators Update ein Grauschleier übers Bild legte.
Diese Webseite erklärt das Problem mit der HDMI RGB Color Range und bietet Lösungen:
Conclusion
Many monitors have moved on from using DVI (which is handled perfectly in both Nvidia and AMD drivers) to using HDMI and DisplayPort. This is a trend that is set to continue as these two new standards continue to evolve – indeed we’re now on HDMI 2.0 whilst DP 3.0 is on the horizon. Despite this, both AMD and Nvidia GPUs treat Full HD monitors connected by HDMI as ‘HDTVs’ and send out a colour signal that even many modern TVs are moving away from. AMD GPUs have a pesky scaling issue when using HDMI, but this is quite easy to fix universally in the driver once you know how. Despite their issues seeming to be isolated to the 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution at present rather than any resolution, Nvidia GPUs are worse offenders for users with affected monitors. They use a ‘Limited Range RGB (16-235)’ colour signal by default that completely destroys the image quality of the monitor by hampering contrast, colour vibrancy and shade variety. To add insult to injury a minority of monitors act this way over DisplayPort as well, despite that being dominantly a PC connection where the GPU treating the monitor as a TV makes little sense.
As this article demonstrates it is fairly simple to fix any issues with colour signal that you may come across using HDMI (or ‘dodgy DisplayPort’) and indeed fix AMD’s odd ‘scaling’ issue. But there are many users who will never read this article and don’t know how to fix these issues – cursing away at their monitor and perhaps sending it back to the retailer instead. Still, there is some potential light at the end of the tunnel. As the push continues towards higher resolution, with ‘4K’ UHD (Ultra High Definition) and higher resolutions hitting the mainstream market, the ‘Full HD HDMI curse’ will be weakened. We’re also happy to see that since this article was first published, Nvidia have added that drop-down ‘Dynamic range’ option to the driver.
We’d of course like to see the GPU drivers of both manufacturers ‘get with the times’, accepting that things have moved on from HDMI being a TV-only connection. Indeed many TVs now happily support a ‘Full Range’ RGB signal anyway, so it would make more sense for the GPU to treat a connected display as a monitor rather than TV. And there is really no need for AMD to choose to ‘underscan’ the image by default over HDMI, either, since this is a problem not just on modern monitors but also modern TVs. Even if things aren’t changed driver-side, this article will at least provide some solutions for the poor users facing these pesky issues.

Eine davon ist die Verwendung eines DVI Kabels und damit ist alles gut. Aber das kann doch echt nicht sein. Wieviele Leute wohl gar nicht wissen dass ihr Bild vermurkst ist, oder hab nur ich solche Probleme?
