Just received an RPi2 today, and In installed OpenElec 5.95.2 (Kodi 15 Beta 2)
I had my TV calibrated for my previous media player, I prefer 16 to at least 244 be showing.
The RPi2 is only outputting 16-234, is it possible to adjust/edit this configuration? I'd like to display above white.
TV controls do not get around this as the RPi2 is only outputting 16-234.
I am using the same input and cabling as the previous media player that had a much larger range.
I've seen this problem mentioned by a few others elsewhere on the net, but never a solution.
Is the RPi2 capable of outputting a higher range?
I am familiar with SSH and editing linux text files if needed.

Thanks for that, I tried both of these separately with no luck displaying above 235. Any other ideas, is anything needed in addition to one of these lines?
I also bumped the GPU mem to 320, and verified with your bcmstat.sh script.

I also tried hdmi_mode=16 as per the link. It did not help
Oddly enough, I am not sure 16 is the correct mode/resolution listed.
# tvservice -m DMT
Group DMT has 10 modes:
mode 4: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
mode 6: 640x480 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
mode 9: 800x600 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:40MHz progressive
mode 10: 800x600 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:50MHz progressive
mode 11: 800x600 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:49MHz progressive
mode 16: 1024x768 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:65MHz progressive
mode 17: 1024x768 @ 70Hz 4:3, clock:75MHz progressive
mode 18: 1024x768 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:78MHz progressive
mode 28: 1280x800 @ 60Hz 16:10, clock:83MHz progressive
mode 85: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
For some reason, RPi2 is not detecting the proper DMT modes
It sees CEA
# tvservice -m CEA
Group CEA has 12 modes:
mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
(prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
mode 17: 720x576 @ 50Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 18: 720x576 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 19: 1280x720 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
mode 20: 1920x1080 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
mode 31: 1920x1080 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
But CEA does not provide full range that I get from other input devices.
And forcing a DMT mode does not correct the color range either

and the only change you made to the config.txt is hdmi_pixel_encoding =2 ?
That sure isn't working for me, I'll try a different display tomorrow

I'm actually fine with black at 16, I am wanting above white colors, above 235 which is used at times.
