[QUOTE="bobn4burton, post: 96820, member: 27395"] Just got my MP installation up and running. Everything is working great so far. I have one question...what colorspace does MP use? It appears to be using the smaller 'AV colorspace' of 16-235 (or something close to those numbers) instead of the full 'PC colorspace' of 0-255. I have my HTPC connected to my LCDTV via HDMI. My LCDTV is a Sceptre 37" and you can use the HDMI port with 3 settings (DVI, HDCP, HDMI). When using HDMI my blacks are darker and colors more vibrant. Same with HDCP. When I switch to DVI mode, the blacks are washed out as well as colors. The Sceptre TV excpects a PC colorspace of 0-255 in DVI mode and an AV colorspace of 16-235 in HDMI/HDCP mode. I am assuming that MP must be outputting in AV colorspace...hence the washed out picture when I'm in DVI mode. I'd really prefer to use the DVI setting on my TV because there is no overscan and perfect 1:1 pixel mapping. HDMI/HDCP modes both overscan and scale the video signal. Is there anyway to change which colorspace MP uses?
