Question:

How does the HDMI Black Level option work and how can I set it?

Answer:

The HDMI Black Level option will compensate for the black level range of an HDMI input. When this option is set it can expand the black level range to 0-255 from a YCrCb color source. When an HDMI device that supports an RGB color range and already use the 0-255 HDMI black level range is connected, the HDMI Black Level option will be grayed out. There are four options for setting HDMI Black Level;

1. Off: Turns the HDMI Black Level enhancement off.
2. Low: Sets the HDMI Black Level enhancement for low.
3. Normal: Sets the HDMI Black Level enhancement for medium.
4. High: Sets the HDMI Black Level enhancement for high.
