i used to scoff at DV .. then i had it for a good 6 months while i had to resort to a TI4200 which had this feature. after testing it and laughing at how it was mererly a play on color saturation and stuff, i actually subconciously started to love it


such crisp colors without any washing into eachother, unless you really crank it up. after upgrading to a new monitor that has slighly duller colors than my previous one, and also going to a DV lacking ATI card it was like a shock. at first i thought my monitor was just really shitty, and i was going to return it and get a samsung 963DF (or something) but then i realized what it was.. hooked it up to my roomates TI4200 and it was obvious

ATI should make something like this. its a feature that makes a huge difference and is on permanently, even in windows

I have a ti440 and DV is not on, what effect will this have on performance if any? If I can get richer colors thats good, but not at the expense of speed.

DV is not like AA or AF...there is no performance penalty for using it.

nope its not really an "effect" its just the drivers playign with color settings, and theyve found a way to increase color saturation without the colors getting washed out or overly bright

Have you tried adjusting the Colour Temp of your monitor?

Not sure what you have but I've heard that helps achieve a similar effect, especialy if you can manual adjust between 4-9+K; and although yes not the same, supposedly it helps.

Just a thought.
