Hi all,
I know this issue has been covered a lot in this thread, but I need a bit of help with getting appropriate RGB range from my i3 Nuc (Haswell) running Openelec (latest version, Kodi) into my Samsung PN60F8500 plasma.
I've set RGB range to full in xrandr, and then set limited output in Kodi. I've tried every combination of video settings, and I've toggled between "Normal" and "Low" black range on my plasma (confusing names on the Samsung...). No matter what I do, I seem to either get crushed blacks or an image that looks like it has a white mist over it.
What the heck can I try to get things looking right on this TV? I almost get very mild aspect ratio errors at every refresh rate other than 60hz. I basically have tiny black bars (and I mean only a few pixels) on the sides when I run at 24hz/50hz, but it's fine it 60hz. This is probably unrelated to the RGB range, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's relevant.
Now having said all of that, at one point I had a Panasonic plasma (S60) that seemed to work with the suggested settings. However, at some point after upgrading from Openelec 4.2.1 even my panasonic TV didn't seem to look right anymore. I never bothered to go back and try to confirm/fix that, but now that I have this nice new TV I would love to get it looking right, as it's a killer display.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Cheers,
Kris
