SRGB clamp tool

Been going through some monitors lately and one of the issues i've been having is the oversaturation on the standard profiles since they had a wide gamut. The srgb clamp provided by the monitors in OSD restricted RGB gain options or brightness or other settings which is not great since they would end up having a tint or be too bright or dim.

I've come across this tool called "novideo_srgb" from a reddit post which is mostly useful for nvidia since amd has it already built in the driver controller, link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comme ... idia_gpus/

This tool seems to be performing an SRGB clamp based on EDID (Extended Display Identification Data), I don't know what that means honestly, I am an amateur with this stuff but I do wonder if this is an effective tool since it seems to be getting positive feedback.

It would be nice since I had no luck finding services locally that offer display calibration and you can't always find an icc profile. Sadly I've returned the high gamut monitors and it doesn't seem to do much on my low gamut TN. I'm wondering this would be effective for a wide gamut IPS.

Yes, it's an effective tool that fixes the oversaturated colors of wide-gamut monitors. Your TN monitor doesn't show any changes because it's not a wide-gamut monitor.
