Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma Controls
The slider controls allow you to adjust the brightness, contrast, or gamma values
for the selected color channel.
The Color Correction controls help you to compensate for variations in
luminance between a source image and its output on a display device. This is
useful when working with image processing applications to help provide more
accurate color reproduction of images (such as photographs) when they are
displayed on your monitor.
Also, many 3D-accelerated games may appear too dark to play. Increasing the
brightness and/or gamma value equally across all channels will make these
games appear brighter, making them more playable.
Image Sharpening
Note:
This option is only available on GeForce FX and later NVIDIA GPUs.
The slider allows you to adjust the sharpness of the image quality by amplifying
high frequency content.
Diagonal Line/Curve
Diagonal Line/Curve shows a graphical representation of the color curve. This
curve will change in real time as you adjust the contrast, brightness, or gamma.

from the list will activate the setting.
