Deliner counteracts the faint horizontal lines that appear on some IPS panels.

The correction only works on the desktop with desktop composition (Aero) enabled. Full screen games can't be corrected because they have exclusive access to the screen. This can be worked around by running a game in a borderless full screen window.
The contrast needs to be reduced slightly or the correction will add lines to white. This can be done by using reduce-contrast.exe or by using a color profile with a non-native white point.
To stop the program, use the task manager to end the process. To make the program start when you log in, put the exe file in the "Startup" folder.
Options for deliner.exe:
The program can be configured by renaming the exe file to include numbers separated by spaces.
1 to 255 = correction strength (default = 5)
0 = invert correction (swap light and dark rows)
-1, -2, etc. = screen number (default = -1)
The options can be in any order. Each screen has to be a separate exe file.
Advanced usage:
The screen can also be split into sections by specifying the number of columns and rows followed by the strength values from left to right, top to bottom.
Usage: deliner (options) (columns) (rows) (strength values).exe
This works best if neighboring sections only differ by 1, otherwise the difference between each section is noticeable.
Examples:
deliner.exe = open on screen 1 with default strength (5)
deliner 10.exe = open on screen 1 with strength = 10
deliner -2 10.exe = open on screen 2 with strength = 10
deliner -2 0 10.exe = open on screen 2 with inverted correction and strength = 10
deliner 2 3 4 5 5 6 6 7.exe = open on screen 1 with 2 columns, 3 rows, strength = {4, 5}, {5, 6}, {6, 7}
The program doesn't have real-time configuration, so you will have to start and stop the process manually to try different settings.
Options for reduce-contrast.exe:
0 to 127 = reduce contrast by this value (default = 5)
128 to 255 = set contrast to this value (default = 250)
0.5 to 2.0 = gamma correction (default = 1.0)
-1, -2, etc. = screen number (default = -1)
Use three contrast values to adjust the contrast for each RGB channel.
Use two gamma values to adjust dark and light colors differently.
Examples:
reduce-contrast -2 10.exe = reduce contrast by 10 on screen 2 (contrast = 245)
reduce-contrast 5 10 0.exe = reduce red by 5, green by 10, blue by 0 (contrast = 250 245 255)
reduce-contrast 250 245 255.exe = same as previous
The program sets the contrast and exits, so you don't need to open the task manager to end the process.
