Author Topic: recommended Blu-Ray players Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-16-2012 06:51 AM                     Same here - my S-550 has explicit options for Auto/YCbCr(4:2:2)/YCbCr(4:4:4)/RGB(16-235)/RGB(0-255) Newer models seem to lack these RGB options. Have you checked 'Auto'? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 08-16-2012 03:11 PM                     William, Very kind of you, thanks. Unfortunately I need to find a current model. Glad to know that SONY didn't tell me rubbish, they assured me they asked the developers about that. Definitely a tough task, but thanks for your contribution, it's a starting point.

According the manual for the Toshiba BDX1250 (around £60) it says that one option on the menu is: "{Full RGB} – Select Full RGB Color space." .. but I see no mention of being able to turn off the on-screen-display, which presumably you also want? If you try one, let me know if it works as expected.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 08-17-2012 05:23 PM                     Hello Will Thanks! I will have a look at the manual and eventually I'll see if I can try one unit out. OSD is not a priority, but picture quality is! Thanks again!

They confirmed that it's as you say, "full RGB" is 0-255. They also said that the option won't be available if used with a DVI "converter" though. This puzzles me, there is no conversion involved between DVI and HDMI. In fact HDMI is a DVI connection with audio (and ethernet if 1.4) bundled together. Maybe they mean I need to have a DVI HDCP capable. Maybe it's just language barrier, I'll see if I can give a Toshiba a try. Thanks  |  IP: Logged
