RGB Studio (Limited RGB) would be great. DVDs and Blu-Rays are encoded in studio level (16 – 235, limited). every android box i've tried crushes blacks badly and blooms the whites because they output RGB Full ( 0-255).

you can really see the difference when playing same video file on ps3/ps4 versus android box. ps3/ps4 has RGB limited setting, which 99 percent of tv's display. on android box deep blacks and whites have no detail but ps3 / ps4 displays detail. turning up brightness helps but washes the picture out

RGB Full ( 0-255) is for computer monitors, phones, tablets etc. KODI for windows has (16-235) limited in video options. it would be nice for android to.

A important point to note is that DVDs and Blu-rays are 4:2:0 encoded as YCbCr using levels 16-235. Turning them into 16-235 RGB is less than ideal because the display has to expand that to 0-255 RGB. This conversion is prone to banding. You're better off sending YCbCr to the display and letting it convert it to 0-255 RGB in one step avoiding the banding or having the the box output 0-255 RGB so the display doesn't have to expand it. AFAIK, Android boxes are just like PCs in this regard. They work in RGB color, so working in RGB and then converting to YCbCr is not a great idea either.

Your best bet is to expand the video levels to 0-255 when color converting to RGB from YCbCr because the floating point math gives you extra bits to play with and minimizes banding potential.
