[RESOLVED] Playfield videos extremely washed out in PBX

[MulletLife]

Having this issue for years, finally doing something about it. I've tried altering the brightness from the PBX Display Settings options. I'm just looking to have the videos looks as they do when running from vlc/media player etc. What am I missing? Its like there is a white diffusion over the entire playfield. 
Thanks everyone

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review when reporting an issue.

Also, can you advise if you ar using any video codecs? If not, try installing the recommended LAV filters here.

To my knowledge, the video codecs I installed initially were the above mentioned LAV filters. I also just reinstalled them and reverted to default settings with no change to the washed out videos. Again, the videos play fine stand alone, its through PBX they get washed out. Brightness in ini is set at 160.  This issue has persisted through various PCs and screens. I'm fairly confident its not a hardware issue. 
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I think the issue is actually my playfield monitor. Changing setting regarding contrast etc seems to fix the issue though its odd the videos look different in VLC vs in PBX. Good enough for now. Thanks

I can't duplicate this on the display i am using right now but have seen that before. Display settings sometimes need to be changed directly on the display. Some software video renderer's such as those used by VLC seem to communicate with the display hadrware AND also GPU display drivers. Those used by PinballX do not. So it could be a driver setting too,

So I have always noticed that the videos shown when browsing have a white hazy appearance too, and I have seen this on two different PF TVs. I will try to post a photo of the table in browsing mode and play mode. Its not a big deal for me, but it would be nice if it can be tuned out.

One thing that springs to mind is make sure in Nvidia settings that you have 'Full' dynamic range selected and not 'Limited' (under Display - Change Resolution in Nvidia Control Panel);

and also under Video - Adjust Video Colour Settings;

(don't know what AMD equivalent would be)
