Recording looks WAY different than in-game.

[undetermined]

I have a GE76 raider. Here are the specs:

Intel Core i7-11800H
GeForce RTX 3060
16GB RAM 1TB NVMe SSD

The problem is that my recording looks completely different than in-game. I play minecraft and I will show you the in-game screenshot VS the recording screenshot.

The recording screenshot looks completely different than in-game. It looks darker and there is not enough detail that is being displayed. Please tell me how I can make the OBS recording look like in-game!

Current OBS Settings:

Try a different media player. It looks as if your media player tries to sharpen during playback and increasing contrast. And remove any color filter from your source(s) in OBS. I see in your log you tried color filters - these usually distort the colors, not correcting them. Usually, you use color filters to explicitly distort and visually change the image, not to correct color issues.

Ok. I took the filter off. Which media player would you reccomend? I am using Movies & TV.

Also, do you mean media player like the program that plays videos?

Ok, I am using VLC media player instead of the Movies & TV and thank you for this helpful tip! I haven't been able to find out the problem, and you were the hero to my story!

You can see there is a big difference! I am truly appreciative that you were able to help me! Thanks so much!

Fine that you were able to work out your issue. If you were using the default Windows media player app (Movies & TV), it might be you activated the automatic "enhancing" of video in Windows settings->Apps->Video playback. Deactivate this again and check if the image improves and look more like what you see in VLC.
