just got the L90D+

Well, I checked out DVD playback using Power DVD v4, and it looks like crap. Everything's pixelated like crazy. Maybe they have fixed that in a newer release of the program, I don't know. But when I played it with Media Player Classic, everything looked beautiful. The only thing I noticed was some tearing in a few frames; I don't know what could be causing that. The colors look perfect. I checked it against my CRT HDTV which is fully calibrated at 6500K, and the colors looked very close. Maybe just a tad bluer on the L90D+, but certainly not reddish. Skin tones were fine.

I have an ATI card, a Radeon 9500 Pro. That's the only thing I can think of that might be doing something differently other than software. Which, if you haven't, try MPC here:

This is just a general advice to all people watching movies with Nvidia card. You NEED to increase overlay brightnes to 110-130% depending your taste. The default 100% is WAY too dark ! It eats the dark tones too much, and this is true for both LCD and for CRT...trust me, this is too one reason why skin color and stuff looks wrong.

I would recommend using the latest forceware 67.66 beta, because resent older and newer 7x series had this annoying bug(for me at least) that it didnt remember the overlay brightness settings after reboot.
 
Not trying to derail, but I just purchased and hooked up my Samsung 710-N and DVD's and everything else look fantastic. No problems with color, flickers or static. Just a great picture.

Why dont you guys just run a dual display with a CRT for DVD viewing or pipe the output to your TV or HDTV or whatever instead. Watching movies on LCD's sucks because of the viewing angles.

how do you do this?
 
From your nvidia's forceware drivers settings, under Color Correction --> Overlay/VMR and there bump the "brightnes" value. Its best to play video same time so you can see the effect in realtime. Also make sure you use player that uses overlay in the first place, otherwise you wont see the effect. Most players should use overlay as default because when using overlay, your card uses hardware accellration for playpack.
