First of all, my preference is

Latency > Color accuracy > Preserving details. (+ Sharpening, - G
PU)

For latency, I reduced buffer sizes as much as possible. I disable
d threads. I turned audio outputs into 192kHz s32, which is the sa
me as my sndio setting. Also, this setting synchronized "audio-buf
fer=0".

My sndio setting is here.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
doas rcctl set sndiod flags -b128 -z1 -r192000 -es32 -joff
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

For videos, I don't know why, but increasing fps makes images a lo
t sharper. So I set the maximum possible number. For a colorsspace
, I use CIE 1931. It is based on human eye experiments, is indepen
dent of devices, and makes colors very accurate. Tone mapping is m
obius, which makes accurate colors despite it losing some details.
"tone-mapping-desaturate=0.0" preserves the chromatic accuracy.

For screenshots, I use uncompressed unfiltered maximum-quality png
. I want to use BMP, but mpv doesn't support it.


P.S: I realized that realism is a meme. So I discarded color accur
acy. Make your own reality.
