Thanks for your reply. I Didn't run into the segfault bug on stopping videos. It still isn't fixed in trusty final?

In Video Output, there is a "Limited Range" Setting. Trigger that and retry.

Use your iphone and make two pictures. One with that setting and one without. The downscale is not color right anymore ... so don't care.

Waoh - that's both completely wrong. Are you sure you did not mess with the monitor brightness itself :-)? Perhaps during the "80s" or something?

Yes. AMD OSS drivers only can do Full Range for now, which is a big problem when the output devices wants to be smart and converts everything between 0..255 by itself. When you now send "pseudo limited range" (that setting in xbmc) it gets even worse ... head over to bugs.freedesktop.org and file a nice bug report.
This is one of the things we clearly miss in the OSS drivers for now.
4K decoding
Limited Range setting

For full completeness, please post:
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --verbose | pastebinit
