Nev, thanks for the info. This began with some basic tests for black/white clipping, where I noticed some blacks getting crushed around 9 and whites right at 234/235. So if my player is behaving correctly, then something must be wrong with the black levels in my HDTV.

Regarding PC levels, what if a video's source was TV/film, but it has been transcoded to a file with the expanded range - won't that cause clipping when I display here?

If we are going to assume that all video is 16-235, then why not configure all devices in the chain for 16-235?

What about BTB/WTW?
