Thanks brazen1!

So, right now in the nVidia NCP you have RGB full 8 bits for everything? Also, I noticed that in your detailed madVR settings (thank you so much for those!) you have your display color space as DCI-P3.  Does that provide you better quality than putting BT.2020?

Thank you for your continued support and guidance.

Regards,

Bart
