madVR Guide
Trumpetguy:
Thankful for this thread, worked my way through it this weekend, and it solved an annoying problem. During the past couple of months, I started noticing picture had become washed out. And I literally mean had become, because I am pretty sure this was all correct when the calibrated projector was installed a couple of years back, because I was so happy with the black levels.
After reading the thread I double checked range settings, and found both madvr and the nvidia driver to limited level range 16-255. Now madvr is set to 0-255 (as per recommendations in this thread) and nvidia 16-255, and black levels came back to what I remember as good and normal.
Problem is solved, but the question remains - did the washed out thing happen because of range default change in some recent madvr update, nvidia driver update, both, or was it always this way?
Hendrik:
Recent NVIDIA drivers changed, as they implemented an option to clearly choose 0-255 or 16-235, and this may have influenced the behavior. I had to reset the setting on my HTPC as well, but of course I knew that the setting would appear, in fact that was the reason I installed the new driver. ;)

Ah, good, there's the explanation, thanks. There may be some of us (less watchful) that didn't notice that at once.

Another thing - the Output Color Format is either "RGB" or "YCbCr444". What is the correct choice?
