I started using obs studio a few days ago.However, I realized later that the colors and textures in the videos are not the same as the reality. I read and applied all the topics in the forum about colors and none of them helped. Anyone want to help me on this issue?
My color settings : https://prnt.sc/14HWpyWBlnco
My log file : https://obsproject.com/logs/SlcVu7u2I_7_6DHq
My obs studio version : https://prnt.sc/x-0S_FOCEZ0V
Pc Specs : AMD ryzen 5 5600x / NVIDIA GeForce RTX3070

description of the problem : captured with obs = https://prnt.sc/PNjaKhlvWX6Y / Real = https://prnt.sc/plCqIZUTSSfk ( you can inspect the edges of the tab )

This is the common expected slight color distortion for video encoded with 4:2:0 color subsampling. This is the case for 95% of all videos in the world. It's visible for high contrast content such as yours (tiny text or thin colored lines on uniform high contrast background), but usually not perceived with movie- and gaming-like footage. Avoid high contrast text to make it less visible.

You will notice this as well for any image saved in *.jpg format, because jpg also uses color subsampling.

Thakns for your answer but ou can also see the distortions on the edge of the letters. I can see the distortion excessively while watching my game after recording it.

I solved my problem

Color Format : I444
Color Space : 709
Color Range : Full

if you change the settings like this the problem will go away. windows cannot run the resulting video but Applications like Media Player Classic - VLC Player can play these videos and edit the video without any problem.

I hope it reaches people who have this problem.

This will encode with no color subsampling. This is fine, if every step on your postprocessing workflow also supports this video format, and as long as you play back this video only locally.
However, as soon as you upload such footage to a video service such as Youtube, you will observe the video is recoded to color subsampling, thus the slight color distortion will return.
