Digital vibrance control

Is there a way to enable this in the control panel or is it a whole other program?

Go to the Display Properties>Settings>Advanced>nView(TwinView on older drivers)>Device Settings>Color Correction
Knock yourself out, I don't use it much anymore, I used to like it but I stopped noticing a real difference.

You cant see a difference with Digital vibrance ???

If i put it all the way right its lights up my whole screen !

Its like a gama/brightness/contrast effect all in one.

I allways have it one notch up from its default.

I def see a difference, it's just that I don't care. However I went into it today and realized it's been set on the first notch for quite some time, I've just completely adapted to it. The more I realize it's there the more I wish my ATI card had it, luckily I'm happy with being able to adjust DirectX options.

I think that this is mostly intended for your TV... I personally don't find it useful on my monitor...just hook up your tv...it seems to be quite useful with my tv when I watch movies.

one knotch or the first setting is JUST acceptable, anything higher and it turns into a glowing neon display
I never use it, my monitors color correction is fine all by it self.

yup, one notch seems to be the best setting, otherwise the gamma's out of whack

I could tell a big difference using Digital Vibrance on a GeForce 3 card. It will work on a GeForce 4.

theres no frame drop or anything like this...

it's just a setting like gamma-control or brightness-control.-.

a picture looks much clearer and has better colors.

in games sometimes it's good to turn it on.. sometimes not.. you've to switch... e.g. with media center...
