    I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my game blacks were not pure black, but something around (16,16,16). It turns out that NVida graphics card defaults to limited RGB when connecting display via a HDMI / DisplayPort. The issue does not seem to occur when using DVI.

    This is a pretty significant issue,. they are not experiencing the full range.
    I wonder how many people playing games actually have their setup incorrectly due to this?
