Hi Nic
So this is windows 7 64 bit
i3-3225 with hd4000
using windows media centre to play the mp4 black level video from the AVS forum.
WMC rgb output level can be controlled by this key:
This will set your nominal rante to 0-255 (PC levels) essentially doing "expanded blacks" use this with a typical PC monitor calibrated for blacks==0.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Debug\ehPresenter.dll]
"NominalRange"=dword:1
"NominalRange"=dword:2 will be 16-235.
My display is a panasonic vt65 (ukVt60) with hdmi rgb set to 0-255 (full)
connected via hdmi
GPU settings is quantization range is set to Full. (this setting works just fine btw)
Under video settings i set the InPut range to Application settings
I play the black clipping mp4 and see black is a bit clipped.
At this point i add the nominal range key and start to toggle between 1 and 2.
My expectation is that since i'm controlling the application settings i should see some change in the clip being show. (i've restarted the computer after applying the regkey too)
the actual result is that theres no change.
I do see a change when i change the driver video input rane from application to driver, set it to 0-255 then set it back to application settings, then hit apply.
playing back the move is now different.
and toggling the regkey still makes no change.
