I have a RTC2200 and HDFury into the NEC XG 1100. Using the pluge pattern on DVE, I set the brightness so that the 2 IRE window just goes invisible while the 4 IRE window is still visible? Then I set gamma using a greyscale pattern so that black stays black while the maximum amount of lower IRE blocks are visible? And where should I set gamma when doing the brightness setting, or should I completely bypass the RTC2200 when setting brightness?

Oh and does anyone know where I can get a pluge pattern for the PS3? I saw this disc at AVS someone made, but I don't think it has a pluge pattern.

I'd probably null out any gamma bumps first, then set brightness so that the 0IRE and BTB goes invisible. You'll find that when doing this you'll likely lose both 2IRE and 4IRE at the same time. Then adjust your gamma to bring these bars back and still keep 0IRE and BTB invisible. You may only be able to bring back the 4IRE, trying to get 2IRE visible while keeping 0IRE invisible may be asking too much, not sure, haven't used the RTC2200 before.

Does anyone know how to set the RTC2200 to 0 gamma adjustment? I assume turn it all the way counterclockwise?
