DG45FC HDMI Black level ?

Hi,

I have this board and it is connected to Samsung UE40B7000 via HDMI.

Installed system - Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit version

Installed graphic driver - 15.16.5.64.2021

My problem is with black level on TV ... black in movies aren't black but gray ... i asking on some servers and get information about 'color range 16-235' instead of 0-255 in RGB ... someone says that is possible in graphic drivet set which 'range' want to use. But I cannot find it in this driver. Can someone give me a clue to sovle this problem ... it's really ugly watching gray space in STAR WARS instead of black deep space

OK ... i find the way from the other side ... in TV menu is possible to set 'HDMI Black'' and that solve this "gray problem"

put your tv's black level back and install driver version 15.17.1.64.2086 (8.15.10.2086) from 3/4/2010... this will fix the real problem (at least it did for me). driver version 8.15.10.2082 had the black level problem. there was one more release in between these 2 versions, but i did not try that one so i can't say whether it will deepen the black back to where it is supposed to be.
