How to remove "soapy" in ubuntu?

Question

linux

Hello.
As far as I can remember, every time I installed Ubuntu, it was always "soapy". The resolution is set correctly, I downloaded some utilities to fix the colors - and they really helped, the colors get better, but still some kind of feeling of soap, foggy or something, I don’t know what to call it, as if a matte film is stretched over the screen. Here on Windows there are clear clear bright colors, on Ubuntu there is none. This is such a strong discomfort that it is the only reason why I can’t finally switch to this axis and forget windows. Is this the case for all linux or just ubuntu? Can this be fixed somehow? Maybe there are some utilities that treat this? Thank you all in advance

Answer 1

If you have colors displayed on your monitor, as in a shop window, then you are killing your eyes. It is advisable to put a well-lit magazine on glossy paper next to the monitor and try to make it look like it. From the habit it will seem dull and faded, but it's worth trying to get used to such settings before twisting the brightness and contrast again.
On the topic - perhaps the Windows drivers expose the image to one gamut, and the Linux ones to another, so it turns out that you see an unusual one. Linux drivers usually do not have GUI gamma settings, you need to look for additional programs or rape utilities like xrandr.
"Soap" is traditionally called not a change in colors, but too blurry borders of font lines - and this is what Windows sins more.

Answer 2

Different font rendering is neither good nor bad, it's just different.
Here makos will be even "soapier" on a similar monitor.

Answer 3

first turn off all the effects of the window manager (a la Aero in Vynde, shadows / transparency and other crap
, look in the settings (where the fonts are)
, set the desired pix / inch
size, set the RGB BGR matrix correctly, etc.

Answer 4

Try fiddling with your monitor settings. Make auto-adjust the screen size. I had the same problem, I solved it by autotuning

Answer 5

Maybe you need to install non-free video card drivers?

Generally agree with the author. I'll skip the lightness and saturation, but fonts are scary. I had to download separate fonts that would look decent, otherwise it was not realistic to use the terminal
