Whoa! Could Super-White OFF and/or RGB Limited be BETTER?!?!

[DarkDune]

Hey all!

Years of experience as a Home Theater enthusiast here...and something new I tried!

I recently picked up a Pioneer ELITE VSX-33 which comes with an iPhone App that actually tells you what format the video is input as on HDMI, and also what the VSX-33's video processing outputs. I looked at several Blu-rays, and saw that the color format used on many is YCbCr444 -- for example. So I tried something an set our Blu-ray player (a PS3 Slim) to NOT output Super-White, and use RGB Limited when RGB is used -- mostly PS3 Games. It is strange, but I swear the video looks A LOT better than with Super-White ON, and RGB Full!

Am I crazy?!?!

From what I've heard, Super White is for panels that support it but some say with it on, they get brighter whites but not enough detail in those whites. One guy said it put more blue into his whites.

Cool.

Any other opinions?

RGB Limited has been the universal choice for years now. Normally, you only set it to Full if your panel fully supports RGB (which would more likely be a computer monitor). For HDTV's, the best choice has always been to set it to Limited.

Yeah,.... RGB Limited is better unless you tell your monitor to expect input from a computer. But,... usually you don't want to do that.

I don't remember if I used SuperWhite On or Off. I have been using a stand alone player for a while now. I ought to look more into it's various processing options.
