    The biggest probelm with this is what should i trust the most. The forced or the software mode.

    [Joel Arvidsson] “I got slightly more saturation when i check in force rgb.”

    Are you referring to the saturation indicated on Color’s vectorscope, or the apparent saturation on your broadcast monitor?

    In that case, make sure you use color bars to calibrate the monitor for each mode, i.e. software and hardware RGB. Otherwise, you can’t be sure that what you’re seeing is accurate. If there’s no change on the vectorscope between modes, then the apparent difference in saturation should be resolved by recalibrating the monitor when you switch between modes.

    Ok, since its no change in the the vectorscope while toggle the modes, I will recalibrate the monitor for forced rgb using the color bars. thanks
