[QUOTE="JBravo, post: 838758, member: 60015"] I have set color space to RGB, and 16-235 in Nvida Control Panel. LAV Video is set to "untouched" for RGB-YUV conversion. In this way the THX logo looks correct, haven't looked at all the other test patterns (yet). When I set color space to YCbCr, colors looks washed out, independent of if I select 0-255 or 16-235. Shouldn't YCbCR be an better option than RGB, movies are stored in YCbCr (16-235)and standard DVD/ Bluray players seems to output YCbCr as default? Or is it better to let the HTPC do the color conversion, assume the conversion to RGB needs to be done in the TV otherwise? I think there is to much stuff happening in the background... Some more reading for the interested.
