YG: "Elusive" is definitely the word to describe gamma. But once you get it adjusted, you don't have to bother with it again (unless you change monitors), and the results are fantastic. I'd like to change the subject line to read "Trouble in Paradise!" I just spent a marathon 1.5 hours on the phone with Truevision to find out why Gamma correction in 3DSr3 isn't helping me at all. The gamma adjustment slider in 3DS always winds up darn close to 1.0 for my composite NTSC signal. According to Truevision, here's why: The Targa + boards are "optimized" for NTSC video, utilizing look-up tables to put the correct information on the screen. To me, this translates to "pre-corrected" gamma. The techies there (I had 3 of them on speaker phone) asked that the Yost Group contact them regarding my question. They were able to reproduce my results exactly. I will Email you the phone number. Please check into this as many of us would like to take advantage of your gamma correction instead. Thanks. – David J. Marks
