Then why is 0% the default in a fresh Kodi installation ?

Sorry, but there are several issues with this sentence:
1. 0% is the default setting in a fresh Kodi installation.
2. The setting is called "Enable HQ Scalers for scalings above: 0%". To me that means: It begins to use HQ scaling for things that require more than 0% (i.e. 0.000000000000001%). Yet you seem to suggest that it kicks in HQ scaling even when 0% scaling is required? Clearly there is some confusion here. Could you please explain?

now we write the following into the created /home/kodi/.config/openbox/autostart file, this will automatically switch your TV to full range (please copy the lines, don't try to type the '` and so on, this code only works for one (1) connected TV, if you have multiple devices extend it to a loop):
Code:OUTPUT=`xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q'`
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
/usr/bin/kodi --standalone
openbox --exit
If I understand it correctly, doing it like this on a limited range TV would give you proper colors in Kodi but will give you crushed blacks on the desktop, since it will also output the dektop in full range, even though the TV expects limited range.
Is there any way to let the GPU output at full range in Kodi (with "Use Limited Range" option enabled in Kodi to counteract the crushed blacks) but at the same time ensure that the desktop is displayed in limited range?
