Today we're tackling a technical subject I get asked about all too often: RGB Color Range in OBS Studio, StreamLabs OBS, etc. This has to do with the available luminance values within an 8-bit video signal. I break down the differences between Full and Partial/Limited Range, which you should really be using, and when there are exceptions to this rule.
