See http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt for what is possible.
DMT typically uses full range RGB, whereas CEA uses limited range. You can force it with hdmi_pixel_encoding, but no guarantee your display will support full range for CEA or limited range for DMT.
It's shouldn't make any noticable difference as long as both ends (the Pi and display) are using the same standard.
Any difference is colours may just be down to different display settings on the TV (brightness/contrast etc).

The "Limit GUI res" is set to 1080 and I tried deleting that in case there was an extra character in there that was stopping it working (it reset itself back to 1080 when I deleted it). I thought it might just be something about the xTV-SAF skin I use, so I switched to Confluence but that's the same.
Changing guires requires a restart.
