    It should be on the machine, it allows you to get the most out of your 10-bit display by setting what color space you want to use among other things.

    What Aaron44126 said. In fact, Nvidia defers to the OEM for the most compatible drive updates. That is, provided the OEM makes the necessary updates immediately available. Some OEMs are a lot better at this than others.

    Thanks guys. I chatted with dell support and he told me to use the driver on the nvidia site. I did, but after this, may uninstall it and go with the latest on dell.

    I also do not have the premier color utility installed and will look for it.

    thanks,

    Mike

    I am running win 7 ulitmate on the M6700 and trying to boot into safe mode. I press the F8 and I cannot get windows to go into safe mode. I tried pressing it several times and just holding it. Is there a special trick on the M6700?

    thanks,

    Mike

    Edit - I got it to work. I pressed F8 every continually right after i turned it on.

    That isn't Dell specific, that's pretty much universal.

    Anyone know a simple explanation of the difference between the two? I am just curious. I thought they were the same, just one selection for windows 8 or not.

    Bokeh by that do you mean that on the HP 8770w the path is not 10 bit all the way through and what is the "dedicated 8 bit hardware board,"?
    I thought that both the M6700 and the HP8770w have 10-bit paths all the way. Can you please explain?
