KMPlayer adds a light filter on videos

Question

As you can see in this screenshot, KMPlayer changes my video by making the colors look brighter. VLC on the right, has no problem accurately displaying the colors.

I already tried resetting all the settings, and then reinstalling KMPlayer but this problem seems to persist.

I am clearly no expert in this field but I'm guessing KMPlayer is defaulting to an inaccurate color profile in the system. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

I am faced with the same problem and found out that the reason is in default quality/perfomance settings in KMPlayer.

Screenshot - installer's chosen quality option by default:

I don't know why, but "General (Normal) preset" makes video brighter.

So, to fix the problem we just need to choose option "Quality (3Ghz)":
Menu -> Video (Advanced) -> Preset: Quality (3Ghz)
