Have just setup an XP Pro SP3 system with all the right codecs to be able to play HD including MKV files.

At the moment whilst I set it up (and until I can afford it as well) I've only got the box connected via VGA to a 17" LCD display. In time I will connect the onboard HDMI to a suitable plasma TV.

Anyway when I play a MKV file using Media Player Classic (MPC) the quality and the depth of the picture is excellent. If I play the MKV file through MP it plays happily but the picture is far less pronounced and the colours not as deep.

Anybody got any suggestions please.
