[QUOTE="damaster, post: 474568, member: 60795"] Thanks for the additional details. A few questions: - Are you using a DVI-to-HDMI dongle with your ATI 4670? If so, make sure it's an ATI dongle. - Are you certain the Denon isn't clipping any black/white levels? - Have you tried to set the TV to 0-255? - Have you confirmed that your system is using DXVA in MediaPortal? Perhaps DXVA is only working correctly in MPC-HC and PowerDVD9? I'm really confused by your issue since our set ups are very similar. I am definitely getting correct black levels with EVR and the MPC Video Decoder, with Pixel Format set to "RGB 4:4:4 Studio Limited". I've verified with the AVS HD 709 test patterns, and even compared to the PS3. Have you tried "RGB 4:4:4 Studio Limited" as the Pixel Format instead of YCbCr? Is your PS3 set to RGB Limited or Full? You may try the following: - Set Pixel Format to "RGB 4:4:4 Studio Limited". - If that doesn't work, then set Pixel Format to "RGB 4:4:4 PC Standard", set AVIVO to "Use application settings", set desktop brightness/contrast to +31/73. Ultimately this will set everything to 16-235, including the desktop and all applications. [/QUOTE]
