BallerX, only Stimpy is having a problem. Read the thread again please.
The thread you posted were users with Nvidia cards and using XP, only one guy was on Vista. I don't know anyone who has the black level issue using an ATI HD 3870 card, apart from Stimpy.
And I use an ATI HD 3870 and a HDMI connection and it's perfect blacks. Even checked them on that photo of yours and all is peachy.
You are blaming both Vista and ATI, when, as far as I can see, neither are at fault.
