Edit: Hmpf, i'm totally lost now. In Kodi, "allow hardware acceleration - DXVA2" is set to OFF. In my picture settings, i use: Lanczos3 optimized, but i still have the washed-out and yellowish problem :/

capfuturo Finally, i found a topic that describes my problem, although it's over a year old. I hope someone is still watching
I have the same issue, washed out greys!
My hardware setup:
HTPC: Gigabyte Brix GB-XM12-3227 ( Intel® HD 4000 graphics) with Kodi 16.1 Jarvis
TV: Panasonic TX-55CX700E (connected with HDMI)
I followed this acticle to setup each of my devices.

So i have it like this:
Video Player: RGB Limited (16-235). You can do this in Kodi by going to Settings > System > Video Output.
Video Card Drivers: RGB Full (0-255).
TV Settings: RGB Limited (16-235).
and this:
In Kodi, make sure your Settings are set to Expert and head to System > Video > Acceleration and uncheck “Allow Hardware Acceleration” (usually DXVA2 or VAAPI).
My problem? Yes, washed out blacks. I have been trying and trying to get my picture quality decent, but whatever i try with contrast, brightness etc - it's afwul. Also the colors are yellowish.
As i understand, you have found a way to fix the problem, ánd you keep using DXVA2 (which should give a better picture quality over Hardware acceleration). You did this by tweaking the brightness and contract settings in your Intel drivers, am i correct?
Would you be so kind to share your entire setup/settings with me? I am confused about how eveything (TV, Intel drivers and Kodi settings) should be tuned. That would be very, very helpful!
