    Sounds like it could be a color space issue.  I’m not educated in that enough, but there is PC color which goes from 0-255 and there is video color that goes from 16 – 248 or something like that.  Windows will switch from PC to video color space when it plays a video.  Maybe you should download the AVSforum calibration disk and calibrate the TV.

    I think you’ve nailed it. It sounds like a color space issue. Also some applications/video card driver combinations do not switch to 16-248 properly.

    Using a generic DVI adapter also means that the card won’t actually enable the different HDMI colorspaces that are possible. DVI is RGB only, it does not support YPbPr.

    Make sure both the TV is set properly and it understands it is getting an RGB signal, not YPbPr or XvYCC.
