Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows
Understood. But full range RGB still doesn't look great on my TV. This is likely because I don't have an actual PC mode, just a full range RGB setting. I have a better grayscale when sending limited RGB. I used Reference Home Theatre's explanation to support my result. I have trouble getting the contrast and brightness to be perfect so the 1% black or white still shows without washing out the image. My TV is a 60" Samsung 7500 LED. I think I am getting a higher black level in this mode.

I added a sentence or two to clarify the use of full range RGB, but I still don't see any negative consequences from using limited RGB. It really doesn't make that much of a difference making this argument less important.

If you want to make sure RGB levels are spot-on, leave all video players at TV levels and set the GPU to full range. The signal will not undergo any conversions from start to finish. Any other option requires conversion of the input source.

And you left out the recommendation in the JRiver guide that the video card do the levels conversion, not the video renderer.

You presented a lot of good arguments against this statement, so the discussion can move on.
