Reference level only works with RGB selected. I have my resolution set at optimal resolution. Which gives me 1360x768. And leave color space at auto. Which uses rgb for games, and ycbcr709 for everything else. If you had to select one I would go with ycbcr709, because on Mass Effect 2 I noticed it made dark scenes a little better.
