    Unless i've missed something the full range RGB issue has been fixed with Nvidia drivers.

    Looking around i think it's just Panasonic who has support, i'm assuming your wanting something bigger which is why your not just getting a monitor.

    well I on the 385.50 driver and just test the HDMI and it was not I still had to use NV_RGBFullRangeToggle to fix it, There is setting that is in the NVCP shown when hdmi is used ( but dont say FULL/Limited), but dont seem to do anything unless i looking in wrong plaace.

    And even it was fixed I perfer DP for PC connection and HDMI for everything else

    I'm using DVI to HDMI (mostly due to cable length) but i see this.

    Does it have to be a TV?

    See that wasnt there yesterday when I was looking for it and testing the HDMI yesterday... after used the NV_RGBFullRangeToggle it was set to Full. color where right

    And I tested again TODAY the HDMI cable and now those settings are there... I wonder if they hidden by defualt till it set by registry edit, or maybe I just doing something wrong.

    None the less I rather HDTV have DP for PC connection and leave my HDMI for other components. which why I use the VGA port on my HDtv and not it HDMI (it only has 3 which are used) and most now are only 4 which still leave me with 3

    Would seem only Panasonic most expensive UHDTV supports DP.
