Your setting is only for accelerated-video output, not for general digital signal
. Even this settings can be use on limited-range RGB signal, but it will crushes the black more, for tv they will detect range 16 or below as pure black, this setting will considered other darkest non-black colour as pure black.
by default, hdmi and tv standard are using 16-235 RGB range, if the monitor is detected as TV, it will use the limited range by default. Usually monitor that using HD resolution with audio output are usually detected as TV. however any monitor that having VGA port shouldn't have problem to accept full RGB range.
the reason why they do this because not all tv are full-rgb ready (this is not within tv standard however, so manufacturer are free to choose whether they will support this as well, some tv might not show any output with full rgb signal, my cheepo panasonic tv will not show colour from range 1-16 (considered black) and 235-255 range will show the same color(for white, it will show white with same brightness) even the full-rgb signal was send by the GPU(i believe the signal sent was switched back to limited-rgb)) . Not only nvidia does this, even Intel does this (they didn't even have full rgb toggle on their driver as well).
there's a reason why the full rgb toggler (for driver registry hack) was made in first place, because there is no setting on the driver.

I am also using toggle myself. it is set to 0-255.by default, hdmi and tv standard are using 16-235 RGB range, if the monitor is detected as TV, it will use the limited range by default.

Btw can anyone show diff of 16-235 and 0-255?
