The last time I used VLC to do some testings (on Windows), it doesn't even playback a typical video color range correct out of the box (TV range did not convert to PC range properly).

I haven't see such issue in any video players since OG MPC days.

After some quick googling I did find some solutions involving changing some video renderer settings manually, but IMO it's unacceptable for any media player on mainstream OS/hardware.

I do still respect VLC as an OSS project though, they made plenty of important contributions to the open-source A/V field.

Agreed, they've done a lot in the past and they have my respect. It's saddening that they're struggling nowadays and are dropping the ball. :(
