Poor quality over HDMI

[jadams]

Using VGA my picture looks excellent. Just like every other monitor. But when I use HDMI the picture is terrible. It looks like the color depth is much lower and theres this white outline around all text.

The guy in this thread pretty much sums it up.

He even includes pictures using his phone. My display looks exactly the same. Cant seem to find any solution to this in my searches so posting here.

Ideas? Video card is an onboard IntelHD4000 on an i3 system.

Intel probably still hasn't fixed the quantization range bug in HD 3000 and 4000, and is displaying 16-235 color scale instead of 0-255. This thread discusses a workaround which may or may not work for you:
