@Ed76 how are you setting video dynamic range in catalyst crimson when they removed those advanced options? (I'm referring to this: https://community.amd.com/thread/191799)
Also, I as well never see bars <17 blinking when proper black levels are displayed (slight change when upping the brightness on the display).

Anyhow Win7x64 SP1, AMD R9 280 w/ catalyst 16.3.1.
I'm also suffering from wrong black levels with full-full-full RGB (driver-kodi-display).
Kodi 15.2 with DXVA - levels ok
Kodi 16.x with DXVA - wrong levels
Kodi 16.x w/o DXVA - levels ok

I'll test the testbuild of Kodi (is it the one @ciukacz linked?) later on to see if there's any change.

there are several ways to change color range for video only within driver.

1) install latest catalyst driver
2) install latest crimson and change the setting within registry. if you dont now the registry entry you can use this tool: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?...6&t=403389
3) install latest catalyst (+catalyst control center). download and unpack latest crimson. install crimson driver (only the driver!) via windows device manager. the "old" catalyst contol center will now work with latest crimson driver.

you cant test the "testversion" because the link is down. but as i write some posts above: download kodi beta 4, unpack with 7zip, search for shader-folder. from there you copy/replace the "convolutionsep-6x6" shader to kodi 16 final. make sure to set "lanzcos 3" or "spline" (not the optimized one) as upscaling method within kodi.

please post your results here.
