Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Facebook buying the Oculus Rift! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

I made a thread about that on ED forums.
The incgamers one is actually more suited for PC players but explains the technique right.

Our DK2 uses a Samsung pentile display so most colors there won't work (like orange does not).
The second problem with those settings is that friend/foe green/red is not working anymore.

I posted a matrix setting to tweak the hud for a good experience with correct friend/foe colors and still a full green text experience.

The result is amazing compared to the original Elite.
The test becomes clearly readable from distance and appears at twice the resolution without pixel distortions around it.

It felt nearly like switching from Rift to DK2 for me.

I attached a screenshot, just move the browser over to DK2 in extended mode and look at the left part.
The red text is barely readable, the green one perfectly.
