[QUOTE="HomeY, post: 474185, member: 68365"] I've got my HTPC hooked up through HDMI to my Denon 2808 receiver, which is connect to my TV (Pioneer KRP-500M) throught HDMI. The thing is: With 9.1 drivers i can get my blacks correct inside MP, but only if i output ATI on Full RGB and set the input of my TV to limited RGB (which gives me a feeling that i'm crushing levels, but i can see the BTB and WTW so should be fine?). With the 9.5 drivers (which off course i prefer using) i get excellent black levels outside MediaPortal with ATI output @ Limited RGB (16-235) and TV input @ Limited RGB. Tried these settings with PowerDVD9 & MPC-HC player. As soon as i use the PDVD9 or MPC Video Decoder inside Mediaportal AND i enable EVR, my blacks are grey again. With VMR9 enabled i DO get correct blacklevels within MP with everything set to Limited RGB, but VMR9 on Vista freezes up MediaPortal... So i'm totally confused now on were the bug lies, ATI or EVR renderer (since it displays correct blacklevels outside MediaPortal with different codecs/players... I'll look into this more tomorrow, but not sure if i'm ever gonna get my fingers behind this.... Would be great if more people with Vista + ATI 9.5 + EVR could test their blacklevels inside and outside mediaportal and report back if they see any difference because it doesn't seem to happen with Nvidia.
