I own no RPi but i would say limited as FULL only makes sense with Intel EGL Builds and 8 Bit Dithering applied. Wink

In almost all cases, the default will be correct.
That is limited range RGB with a TV (CEA) resolution and full range RGB with a monitor (DMT) resolution.

Yes. limited RGB is the default for normal TVs.

As long as all components are using the same colour space you won't see the difference.
Where the real problem comes in is if you force part of the system to use a different colour space without the rest of the system knowing
(e.g. if you force your TV to use full range RGB, but Kodi is producing limited range RGB you will get greyish blacks and poor quality).

ok instead is the same all in full rgb or all in rgb limited...

Yes, when RGB full is supported by your TV, then this is the first choice. Otherwise stay at default RGB lim.
