I've got a Panasonic plasma which is why I wasn't sure about 2Bdecided's reply. I pass it RGB over HDMI and the black level assumes video levels on the default brightness (50%) setting. So my PC (aside from video converted to RGB without level expansion) doesn't follow my TV's standards.

I suppose the major users of RGB connections to TVs will be games consoles - I wonder what levels they use?
