@mkohman,

Just two things. The desktop is set to 8-bits RGB at 60hz. But what about at 23hz? You are outputting from madVR at 10-bits, so you want the GPU to be set to 10-bits RGB at 23hz. Play a video and return to the GPU control panel while it is playing. Set it to 10-bits RGB. It doesn’t matter what madVR reports.

Second, you have disabled calibration controls, which means madVR defaults to BT.709. Your projector is calibrated to BT.2020, so it must convert from BT.709. You can do this in madVR by selecting this display is already calibrated and setting it to BT.2020. The gamma doesn’t matter as it’s ignored, but try and guess the gamma, too.

Some debanding at low/medium wouldn’t hurt. This won’t remove any image detail and can help with the odd Blu-ray, even if it is uncompressed.

 Thank you so much, so let me just confirm... You are saying that I should change my desktop refresh rate to 23hz, is this correct? In doing so this will enable me to select 10Bit with RGB 4:4:4? as it currently only allows me to select 8 bit RGB 4:4:4

I will select the "display is calibrated" and choose BT2020? Then I will choose a Gamma of 2.4? Is this also correct?

Thank you so much and would appreciate if you could confirm.. Maybe the black out screens were happening because my desktop was set to 60hz and all movies are at 23 or 24hz so it keeps changing refresh rates when playing and stopping video and possibly getting hung up in between so may actually help keeping it at 23hz? Is yours at 23 hz 10bit RGB 4:4:4? thanks..

Finally my RX560 4GB states recommended PSU 400w , I have a 300W in my HTPC but I am not powering anything other than the motherboard , the 120GB SSD Drive and the RX560 4GB .. Do you think this is sufficient power for the GPU ? May the screen black out be because of that Thanks for your help..
