So I picked up this projector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B97ZKIA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (first projector ever)
One thing I have noticed is the the blacks are pretty bad, like light grey. But as far as I can tell its the image that the source is putting out. If I bring up the projector menu which is black, it is much darker and blacker than the image being out put. Like the black bars on the top and bottom of a movie are grey while the projector menu is black. I'm using an htpc with gt 430. I'm not even sure what to adjust to get the blacks to be darker. The image itself looks fine if its not a dark scene but as soon as its a dark scene it looks washed out.
If I switch on the projector hdmi to limited range instead of full range this makes the blacks a bit darker but still not as dark as the menu. Is there something else I should be looking for?
