I have setup the same movie file on my intel celeron 2955u pc and himedia q5 android player and bluray player

And have noticed the blacks on the himedia q5 and bluray player are almost perfect dark and contrast is colourful with the default setttings cinema mode on projector.

when using those same default settings on projector cinema mode the intel pc blacks are very light and doesnt look how it should when comparing them all.

I have tried to adjust the intel settings to darken video using graphics options profiles darken video but this doesnt help it just all looks darker but blacks dont look much better and loses to much detail.

Also have tried swapping hdmi cables made no difference.

Also tried different media players in windows same thing

Any Suggestions?

This wiki might be an eye opener... Video levels and color space (wiki)

I was going to replae my pc so it sounds like from that article it would be the same even with a different model.

Set up limited full like in guide yuv instead of rgb
Spent hours and still not as good as bluray or himedia gutted. Sad

Tried lots of different settings
To light and blacks crushed

Using same settings and mode on projector for all devices

Wanted so much to use my intel 2995u pc as main player

Try LibreELEC Milhouse builds (*) from an USB stick and see, only thing to check: "Use Limited Color Range" settings with these builds. You can find them in the Linux subforum.

*: Cause he ships a kernel patch + userspace daemon to set proper color range output.

Copy the tar file to the /storage/.update directory. Reboot.
