DisplayTune
Saturation up to 350%, brightness, contrast, gamma, temperature and fine tuning in every profile. 63 presets, auto profiles for 26 games, hotkeys, a schedule, a crosshair overlay and a black holosight for Rust. Works on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Downside: paid after the free day.
Driver panels
Free and reliable, but one setting for everything and no hotkeys. Fine if you play one game and do not mind a vivid browser. Guides: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel.
VibranceGUI
A free app that changes driver vibrance when chosen games start. Saturation only — no gamma, brightness or hotkeys. More in VibranceGUI alternative.
f.lux and Night light
They warm the screen in the evening so your eyes tire less. Not for games: they tint the picture yellow. More in night light and blue light.
DisplayCAL
A tool for accurate calibration with a colorimeter — for designers and photographers. Without the device it makes little sense; how to set up a monitor without one is in calibrate a monitor without a calibrator.
What to choose
- You play several games and want different color in each — DisplayTune.
- One game, saturation only — the driver panel or VibranceGUI.
- Color work, photo, design — DisplayCAL and a colorimeter.
- Tired eyes in the evening — Night light or the "Warm evening" profile.

Are there free monitor color apps?
Yes: NVIDIA, AMD and Intel panels, VibranceGUI, f.lux, Windows Night light and DisplayCAL.
How is DisplayTune different from VibranceGUI?
VibranceGUI only changes driver saturation. DisplayTune also handles brightness, gamma, temperature and fine tuning, hotkeys, and saturation above 200%.
