The first thing you notice when you open the Mino HD is how small it is.
It measures 3.94" x 1.97" x 0.63" (10 x 5 x 1.6 cm) and weighs only 3.3 ounces.

Also included in the box are a wrist strap, a carry case and an A/V cable (composite video and stereo audio).
Using the Mino is a snap.

This portion of the review details how the Mitsubishi LT-46148 LCD HDTV performed on the test bench.
Please read the Mitsubishi LT-46148 LCD HDTV Review Essentials, if you have not already.
RGB 0-255 can't pass below black because black is 0.
Unfortunately the same goes for YPbPr 16-235 yet with that video signal black is 16 so it could if designed to do so.
Bottom line, no below black signals will pass.
