[QUOTE="Doomblaster, post: 1001227, member: 129135"] Ok..not sure if this is the right part of the forum, but here goes the question anyway. My setup is as follows: HTPC with MediaPortal 1.3.0 (Intel 3770T w/HD4000, Digital Devices tuners) connected via HDMI to Denon AVR-3311 which again is connected via HDMI to a Pioneer PDP LX508D. I also have a Spyder3 unit with Spyder3TV software upgrade. Basically I tried running the "normal" calibration routine with Spyder3 on the HTPC, but the endresult wasn't really satisfying. I then tried using Spyder3TV to calibrate the TV only which made it all a bit better, but still not good enough. I then started exploring a bit. As far as I understand both receiver and TV supports Full Range RGB (0-255) and limited range RGB (16-235). Doesn't seem like TV supports xvYCC, so that route is probably a nogo. I'm not exactly sure what HTPC supports. According to Intel forums, it seems to be hard to get Full Range RGB to work properly on HD4000.

A small side question, is there any way to figure out what type of signal is sent out from each unit in a fairly easy way? [/QUOTE]
