Please help. I changed the scaling (using the tweak guide) for my monitor to: use nvidia scaling and now i can't see anything on my monitor but colored snow. How do I change it back to - Use my display's built-in scaling?
I tried the procedure below from the tweak guide.
Change Flat Panel Scaling
If you have a digital flat panel - most commonly an LCD display - connected via a digital connection like DVI or HDMI, then this section allows you to determine how various resolutions appear on your screen. Basically since an LCD display consists of a fixed number of separate pixels, it has a 'native' resolution at which images display at their sharpest. This native resolution (e.g. 1280x1024) is the number of pixels in width x number of pixels high in the panel, and any time your software resolution is different to this native resolution the LCD panel will do one of the following depending on your choice:
# Use Nvidia Scaling - The scaling unit on your graphics card will rescale the image before it reaches your monitor. If you have a relatively normal middle-to-low end monitor, this option results in the best image quality and is the one most recommended.
# Use Nvidia Scaling with fixed-aspect Ratio - This option will maintain the original aspect ratio of the chosen resolution and display it with black bars to the sides/above/below the on-screen image as required.
# Use my display's built-in scaling - If you have a high-end monitor, try this form of scaling to see if it improves things. Otherwise usually the scalers in monitors are not as good as those on high end graphics hardware.
# Do not scale - The image isn't scaled at all, but instead your monitor will run at its maximum resolution and the image will display in the center of your monitor. This may result in a black border around the sides of the image.
Switching between these modes will not damage your monitor so try them all out and see which suits you best. Nvidia Scaling should be best for most people.
