So, damn its late. Anyway..
My HDMI outputs have allways been tweaked following the rec709 colourspace (the colour space for hd movies). Which have 16-235.
Im a picture whore, so i was just wondering what the color conversion does. I mean, i suspect the XBMC gui is expecting PC levels 0-255?
But then again, when i boot up transformers 2 1080p mkv file, that file uses a 16-235 scale right? So should i just leave it off, im scratching my head and thinking off why the option is there.
So to sum it up, if i have my TV tweaked to rec709, should i bother changing it, cause i read somewhere that xbmc also displays the movies in 0-255. Which is rgb levels, and all movies are/should be using 16-235.
If someone could explain, i would been very grateful
I Could allways change my input and call it PC, then the TV disables many settings, and i guess then the TV is expecting 0-255 from the source. Dunno, havnt tried yet and seen if there is any difference
