MPC-HC video/PC levels issue

wst · 5th May 2013, 02:55

I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the levels on my HTPC. PC levels seem to be getting clipped and video levels look really "contrasty". This image should demonstrate the problem:

Configuration: MPC-HC (all internal filters disabled), LAV splitter/video/audio, MadVR, nVidia GT430 to HDMI to Pioneer HDTV. Each of these is individually configured to use 0-255 levels.

I (maybe wrongly) assumed that with everything set to 0-255, PC levels would look correct by default and video levels would get stretched by software to look correct. Any thoughts? Thank you!
