You can access a couple of extra features by adding the following registry value.
open regedit and navigate to this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Filters\Video]
then add a dword value named PureVideoPropPage and set it to 1
This adds a new tab to the settings for the decoder giving these options.
Edge Enhancement slider
Noise Reduction slider
and an overdrive check box (no clue what that does)
I find that moderate edge enhancement helps counteract the slight softness of my T550P. It also seems to be doing this in hardware with my Nvidia 6800. So I guess all Purevideo capable Nvidia hardware would do the same.
The noise reduction seems to me to be pretty poor, looks more like motion blur to me, but I guess it some type of temporal filter.
For the more adventurous there's more
Add a dword value EnablePropPage and set it to 1 and you'll get some more options.
As always if you're not familiar with editing your registry it's probably safer not to do it.
The registry location above is from a win xp system and it may be different for other Windows versions.
Apologies if this info has been posted here before but I searched and didn't find it so I thought it might be of interest to others.
