Seems I messed something up, in windows I watched a vid & it looks much better, I think I need to reset my colors theme. Things look a little blown out & not as much color.

Uninstall any color correction filters you may have installed, and disable any color profiles or effects, or such in the media player.

Didn’t think so, just checking incase. I hgave no effects or anything for videos applied, so hmmm.

Thanks scotty6, I will try when every else is awake. Reseting X sever didn’t seem to help,
