@X3lectic: These settings work fine on my Zotac IONitx-G-E via the HDMI port, so I would venture to guess that they will work on all ion systems. If you're outputting via the VGA port though I have no idea, as VGA is already sRGB by default. sRGB and YCbCr444 are, for all intensive purposes, identical, so that my be why you saw no change.

I didn't mean the settings 'an sich', but I meant the specifying the default values is kind of useless:
Code:
Option "ColorSpace" "RGB"
Option "ColorRange" "Full"
As these are the default values, they do not change anything.
Yes, most modern HDTVs can handle full range RGB. No, it is still not correct. If all digital recordings (HDTV, DVD, and Blu-Ray) are meant to be in YCbCr444, then why would you want to use the wrong color space, regardless of whether or not your TV can handle it?
Let me ask you a question. What do you do for a living? Do you calibrate TVs? No? Because that is what I do. 40+ hours a week that is all I do.
*edit* If you were to reference
This document, you will see that the color space points listed as
THE STANDARD for all HDTVs are in fact YCbCr444, not RGB full. If you look at
This GIF you will see a comparison of sRGB, REC-709 (YCbCr444), SMPTE and EBU PAL/SECAM points, overlayed on the full range RGB pattern. You will notice that the triangle that represents these points is smaller than the whole color field, i.e. it is limited.
*edit 2* I misread part of your original post. I understand now that you were saying that specifying RGB full in xorg will have no effect, as that is the default setting. You are 100% correct there.
