[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 78030, member: 14215"] Well i installed MCE on my parents HTPC. They havent bought their new TV yet, so it was connected via S-Video to the old TV. I avoided the black crush im witnessing on my HDTV, but im pretty sure this is because S-Video is a TV-out connection, so the video card KNOWS that a TV has been connected. So no conclusion on the MCE vs XP issue. ( but i agree that it would be kind of odd if just using MCE solved it). At home i dragged my girlfriends PC into the living room and tried out DVI->HDMI and Component out from her 7900GT. I still got the same crush, but not over Component out. As NLS suggested i tried raising the gamma which did help, but im still not sure whether or not this is the 'correct' way to correct it. I unfortunately left my calibration DVD at my parents house so i was using a THX test JPEG image(which also suffered black crush before). When i get the DVD back again, i will see whether the gamma adjustment messes something else up. Damn its going to be mess calibrating with so many settings to play with .... [/QUOTE]
