It clearly tells me that the display is closely tracking the reference luminance

One way of checking if it's the calibration is to do a dispcal -R and then
a dispcal -r with the calibration curve loaded, and compare the contrast
ratio and black level.


I think now it is a matter of the age-old problem of 16-235 or 0-255. Something 
in my
HTPC is keeping the desktop levels at 0-255 and the video player (media center) 
is
changing the video levels. I am not sure which one is which one , 
yet...........but
will find out soon enough by experimenting.


Yes, that could be a "gotcha". What sort of system are you playing back on ?

If it's an intel motherboard running X11, then this thread may be of interest:
