Hidden Contrast option in V50X!!!

[BLADE2X]

Hi Guys,

Not sure if you guys know abt this but I still want to share with you guys!! I've done some test and found out there is a hidden contrast setting for our V50X!! when I played my dvd ripped file, it looks more clearer and the colors are richer dudes... :love:

ok first you'll need a registry editor....
here's the link to the one I use
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}

then you need to go to this program, first you must do a full registry backup b4 doing any changes

then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Contrast\ value on your registry. Rename the "Redirect" value to "Redirect disabled". close the registry program and finally do a soft reset.

after that, go to your settings options, you'll see an additonal icon called contrast, click and change your contrast accordingly...

here is guide link for other hidden options (not ment for V50X but I've only tried the contrast option so far)not sure if the rest works...

Thanks for the tip. Now, I can get the screen the way I want it and not some default setting set by someone else. :approve:

It's included in the last versions of Tweaks2k2, btw :approve:

You can also just delete the Redirect key and it'll work too.

You can also just delete the Redirect key and it'll work too.

I guess I'm just conservative by nature: If I delete the Redirect Key (which sounds a lot easier, and therefore more appealing to my inherent laziness), will I regret it later? Is the Redirect key used for anything else besides just keeping the contrast icon off the screens?

thanks!

what is an v50x??? i have heard of and x50v just not that...

:winkwinknodnodsaynomore:

I knew about this since last year, if I remember correctly. The registry hack also works with the toshiba e704 too.

[aximbigfan]

yeah, it does NOT work with the x30 line..... im color blind though so it might have changed and i would not know it....

if it's just for the movies, betaplayer allows to adjust contrast, brightness, and saturation from within the program...

what pisses me off is that dell does not produce a 24 bit color screen..

[aximbigfan]

24 bit

i dont know the exact figure but i know that its in the thousands...


chris

well 24-bits = 2^24 = 16 777 216, or 16.7 million colours. That would eat battery life quite abit. I'd like to see a 262k colour display though but as far as I know there is no pocketpc device that has one, sure smart phones and such do but not ppc's...
