I tried and the ones I found were the STB drivers and the NVidia reference
drivers. I
think the NVidia reference drivers I used with my old hard disk had this color
adjustment
feature. The ones I downloaded from the NVidia site more recently are
different and don't
work properly. The drivers I'm using are the Dell STB drivers with no ability
to adjust
the color.
