Can I increase brightness for all SD content? It's too dark. - saltytrams - 2011-09-29

Hi,

All of my SD content looks too dark. My HD content looks fine. Is there a way I can globally change video settings, but only for SD content?

this may fix the issue for you, http://www.vreveal.com/ if not, just google your issue there is tons of info out there, you also may want to take a look at your color settings on your TV. Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

Yes, I had this issue on my Samsung...finally found the setting on the TV and it is now fine. What was it...dynamic black/ something

I only have this problem with XBMC. I don't have any dynamic black settings on my TV (Panasonic Viera).

I was hoping there was a way I could set the default brightness / contrast for SD content on my XBMC machine.

you can edit the contrast and brightness settings when you bring up the on screen display other than my post that mentions using something like vreal that's all ive got...

Yeah. That's what I do right now. It just sucks having to do it for every item.

That seems to be it. Thanks. I updated to the newest binary Nvidia drivers and added the following to my xorg.conf:

Code:
Option  "ColorSpace"          "YCbCr444"
Option  "ColorRange"          "Limited"

Everything looks much better now.
