    Hi all, I'm playing around my new htpc. My major issue is about the color quality during DVD playback: with EVR I notice the reds are too strong and overall colors are not real.

    I use (for the moment) this video chain: DVD > Nividia MPEG2 Video Decoder > ffdshow postprocessing (with avisynth) > Theatertek 2.6 with EVR (but is the same with ZoomPlayer) setup in MediaPortal as external player.
    If I change from EVR to VMR9 the colors are better, but the image is so poor, the edges are not so smooth.

    How can I setup EVR with the HD4670 to get good colors? :D

    P.S. another minor issue I have is with imon LCD display in my antec remote max case. I can't use it with MP. I enabled the external display plugin (mini display now included in the MP svn) but when I turn on MP the imon display turns off. What is the setup in imon manager and in the plugin configuration? (in the plugin config. I use the imon vfd/lcd driver with USB connection)

    ffdshow has an overlay control you can use but only in XP. I think you have to adjust your colours from the display properties for your graphics card.
