Intel graphics recommended settings

What settings are people using with Sandybridge onboard graphics to get the best video quality in WMC?

xvYCC on or off? Color Enhancement? Skin Tone Enhancement? etc etc

 

Specifics: I have switched from nVidia 7300 graphics to a Core i3 2100 onboard graphics (Intel DH67BL mobo) and have noticed a drop in video quality. The same Hauppauge Nova-T dual tuner card was used.

For anyone interested, switching OFF most settings under Media > Image Enhancement helps a great deal. In particular the sharpness adjustment only highlights the noise inherent in Freeview broadcasts. With this switched off and noise reduction turned on, the image quality is back where it should be.

You probably do not want to use xvYCC as the last time I tested it, the colors were way off. Intel hasn't quite gotten YCbCr right yet.

For the other settings, it more or less comes down to personal preference.
