Making NTSC 16 blend in to RGB 0?

[Lee Christie]

Is there a way to get the letterboxing on my BDs and DVDs to display as the same colour as the black background in my player (CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra) which is of course RGB 0, 0, 0.

From what I understand, the black bars are RGB 16, 16, 16 because the legal range for NTSC is 16 to 235, not 0 to 255. Well I've fiddled with the gamma on my video card settings and my monitor, I can't make the letterboxing blend in the with the black, so I get this double-black-bars. If it reduce the gamma quite a bit, then the black does blend in, but the entire picture looks dark, if i adjust the brightness it looks washed out.

Can someone clue me in to how I adjust it properly? Actually it'd be nice to crop it off alltogethor and strech to full screen, you can do that in VLC but not CyberLink, and VLC dosn't do Blu, only DVDs.

Please?
