Turns out that CCC resets the pixel format when you upgrade your drivers and it apparently doesn’t save that particular setting to the profile. In turn, I went in and named the profile using the correct pixel format, so I wouldn’t forget next time. [/quote]Well, my picture is looking so good I saved the profile as you suggested only to read more closely and see it does not save pixel format settings. Although the pixel format may not be saved it is the only YCbCr setting I saw. So, if I update drivers I just reselect this profile and ensure I have the pixel format at YCbCr?

Thanks for all the help.

you should see it in CCC, not your tv.
what is your resolution? YCbCr might be available only on some resolutions, depending of your tv. Try setting a standard HDTV resolution, like 720p or 1080.There are 2 places in CCC: where you set Full RGB or Limited RGB, and where you set RGB or YCbCr.
[/quote]Don’t know why, but I think it looks tons better ! 🙂 I do not have two HDMI ports. Only 1 HDMI and one DVI. Outside CCC I switched the resolution to the native 720P . Then in CCC I note the pixel formate now set to YCbCr 4:4:4. It looks much better. Sad to say I don’t know why.
Thanks for the help, though!

What resolution are you using? Also, In CCC, what is the pixel format? RGB or YCbCr? Make sure you are using YCbCr.
My picture was washed out too, because I was using RGB. Also, with my samsung tv, YCbCr is only available with HDMI1 input, not HDMI2.
[/quote]CCCis set for FULL RGB. I was on HDMI2, but switched to HDMI1. Where should I now be able to switch to YCbCr? On the TV settings or in CCC?

Go to the ATI CC panel. There is an area to tweek the settings for Video playback. These don’t effect the desktop settings at all they are strictly for video playback (ie WMP). I would always use a DVD of The Incredibles because it has a basic THX optimizer in the bonus section, ran WMC7 in windowed mode so I could see the video and tweek the settings. There is a Gamma setting that might be causing your video to be washed out, I’d check that. But the video settings in ATI CC is what you want to be looking at.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Seems I did not get emails on your replies and my age had me forget 🙁I have messed around with CCC and know the Video section well. It seemed strange at first to think that video content could be totally independent of the graphics and such. I notice that most when watching the local news. All the graphics with the weather are vivid colors, but when they switch to a video image of the live people the colors look washed out.
I will try tweaking the settings under video. I hate to do this due to my red/green color deficiency. I know when something is right, but don’t ask me to tweak it there. To save me some trouble can you tell me what settings under VIDEO I don’t want to touch? I know you said to look at Gamma, but are there ones that should have nothing to do with it?
