Vista SP1 Faded Colors - Warning!!!

Just a word of warning, SP1 completely messes with the Colors with nvidia drivers, doesn't seem to effect my laptop.  Compare the Pre and Post SP1 installation's blacks, look at the side of gorge W, and of the bank.

Notice the appalling black, in pre SP1 black was BLACK, but post SP1 black is slightly yellowy.

Because of this I'm going to refuse to install SP1 on my main PC until this is fixed.  It's most prob a nvidia driver issue more than anything, but it's mighty annoying that the quality is so bad.

Loaded both images into photoshop and did the eye dropper, and here are the results:

  • Black: Post = #10100f; Pre = #000000
  • Red: Post = #810f0e; Pre = #800000
  • White: Post = #e6e6e6; Pre = #f5f5f5

Best Summed up with this:

It's mainly the black, but all of the colors are off.

And it doesn't just effect Live TV, it effects everything, playback and wat not.

 

And some more examples:

In full screen the whole thing goes yellowy
