            Bug ID: 105149
           Summary: Broadcast RGB defaults to using Limited 16:235 ouput
           Product: DRI
           Version: XOrg git
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/Intel
          Assignee: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I just got myself a new screen, an iiyama XB2483HSU-B3 connected over HDMI.
When I plugged it in, I was very surprised to see a grey background that is
supposed to be black since it's supposed to have a 3000:1 contrast ratio. I
tried to change the default refresh rate from 60 to 75 and then I actually got
black.

After some digging, I found that it might be related to the "Broadcast RGB"
property. The output from xrandr --prop by default is:
HDMI-3 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 527mm
x 296mm

But if I do this: xrandr --output HDMI-3 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
The black becomes black. So it seems that by default it's doing "Limited
16:235" for some reason.

The only other way I could get proper black was using 1920x1080 at 75.

I'm running Debian's 4.14.13-1 kernel. I have an intel i5-2500
