Does anyone actually leave this at default (1.0 [9%] in NVIDIA control panel)? Or do you personally lower it/increase it? Increasing the digital vibrancy, according to the chart below, means I would have to lower the gamma to get it to match. Is this the best way to do it?

According to the http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ it should be around the 2.2 where it blends in. And mine does when gamma is set to 1.0. However the problem I seem to face is, lighter colors (blues, oranges) seem more 'washed out' at this level of gamma. More lighter than they should be, lowering brightness just makes whites worse. The only thing that seems to bring it down is lowering the gamma, however I lose some of the finer details in some black areas which is unfortunate.

I kind of got use to using lower gamma settings, but wanted to see what the recommended calibrated things are, and well I don't see how this is any better. Anyone have some advice or experience messing with the gamma a lot?
