[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1150887, member: 76888"] ahh ok. the reason why your display is clipping 0-16 is because pioneer receiver doesn't work correctly with full range rgb. I actually have a pioneer sclx87 and it does the same thing. If you feel the pioneer 0-255 rgb it clips the 0-16 part. In your special situation there are quite a few options you could leave things as they are (which is perfectlyfine) or you could change display settings in video driver to either RGB Limited 16-235 or YbCbCr. After you do this you will see 0-16 flash with brightness up high, then you should turn down the brightness until you see only 17 flashing. The advantage of doing it this way would be that photos and the mediaportal gui would look nicer (because photos and gui contain 0-16 colour information), with videos it will be the same. There is no right or wrong way to do it. If you want 100% best possible theoretical picture (which you probably wont even notice the differece) you need to bypass the avr completely because the avr is processing the video ([B]even with proecssing off[/B]) My setup is HTPC -> Gefen Detective -> HDMI Splitter Then: Splitter -> Samsung TV Splitter -> Pioneer AVR I use full range rgb, I set colour space to 36 bit, use madvr renderer in 10+ bit exclusive mode, and I set refresh rate fixed to 60hz so I can use the TV in 'pc mode' which lets me do 4:4:4. The difference is very minimal, and barely noticeable. [/QUOTE]
