Display reference levels

A setting for display color reference levels is new to the Dashboard as of the May 2007 update. Many HDTVs can process the on-screen color differently if more color information is provided. For HDTVs that offer this functionality, the Xbox 360 can send the additional color data to the display. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Start your console without a disc in the disc tray.
  2. In the System section of the Xbox Dashboard, select Console Settings.
  3. In the Console Settings area, select Display.
  4. In the Display Settings area, select Reference Levels.

    You can choose one of the following reference levels:
    • Standard: This is the default reference level and should work for all displays. Use this mode if Intermediate and Enhanced yield poor color quality.
    • Intermediate: Use this mode if Enhanced yields poor color quality.
    • Expanded: This mode is preferred for HDTVs but will yield poor results on many VGA monitors and older HDTV displays.
