You can use custom levels in madvr to correct it or use different options when calibrating your display.

edit: btw your results are not strange at all, that is exactly what you would expect to happen. Picture information is 16-235, so when set to full madVR expands 16-235 to 0-255, clipping 0-15. If set to limited madVR outputs the untouched 0-255, which includes the blacker than black 1-15 bars which you incorrectly see. The GPU setting simply compresses 0-255 to 16-235 if set to limited and outputs the untouched 0-255 if set to full. The GPU always assumes it is 0-255 so if you set both the GPU and madVR to limited you get double compression.
Maybe i not explaned cleary english is not my native language

I aways used madvr on tv levels and gpu on full levels

But when i run the patterns the resulta are strange

Lets show you:

Madvr: 16-235 gpu: 0-255 = all bars 1 to 25 flashing similar to limited limited But with brackground more darker
Madvr: 0-255 gpu: 16-235 = 18 to 25 flashing
Madvr: 0-255 gpu: 0-255 = 19 to 25 flashing
If i set madvr 1-255 any range on gpu flashes 17-25

But my tv don t have hdmi black level option also don't have any levels
Options, and with gpu to full all colors on desktop and internet and everything else become Very darker without any shadow detail and oversaturated on reds...
I really don t know more what levels use...

With thats situation i tried 3dluts with all settings and only terrible results
