thanks! just to be 100 percent sure: with "computer" you mean I should set NVIDIA control panel to full? how about my avr? my htpc goes into my avr and my avr outputs everything to my HDTV
those calibration slides are still needed when everything is set this way? is it for checking if everything is right or do I need to manually adjust some settings? how about powerdvd? I need madvr and powerdvd to run with correct color range without having to switch settings each time...

Computer at full and everything else limited is the way to go. Once you set it up, grab some calibration slides, like these

and dial in black so that everything below 16 disappears and then get whites so you seesome above 235.
