      Hello my friends,

      i have a little problem with my CRT signal chain… I convert my signal from mini PC (480p) to a CRT via OSSC Pro with RGB…
      It’s not a problem of OSSC Pro, it’s a problem of color space, so my idea…

      I try some color spaces in windows 11 pro, but I have a jailbar on the right side of the CRT (little bright area) in the emulator Retro Arch or in the SNES game…
      When I get rid off the jailbar in SNES game, in Retro Arch on the gray area the jailbar is to see… and otherwise…

      I try to chance the color space from default sRGB to the old SMPTE-C, but the problem is even there yet…
      Maybe one idea is to change the color space to EBU/PAL RGB because the CRT TV is a european model with SCART adapter…

      I want to talk no more nonsens words:
      What is the perfect color space for european CRT TV with shadow mask (panasonic quintrix)?
      I limited the color space via OSSC Pro with the switch “HDMI Limited”… so there’re two szenarios:
      1. I use a huge RGB color space (e.g. Pro Photo RGB / Adobe Wide Gamut) and limited by OSSC Pro to the TV standard,
      2. I use a very little RGB color space (e.g. SMPTE-C / Apple RGB) and limited also by OSSC PRO to the TV standard…

      Thank You!

        Not sure why you’d use limited range, PCs usually work in full range RGB. Regardless whatever you use it should match through your entire video chain ideally. I’d try setting everything to full range from PC to CRT.
