On my second and third monitors, the "HDMI Black Level" is grayed out, not allowing me to set them to "low" like my primary (center) monitor. Is this because I'm using Surround? Or is it because I'm retarded (which is a perfectly acceptable answer)?
I'm just getting a lot of backlight bleed (I believe this is the proper term for what is happening) that I'm not getting from my center monitor.
For the record, I had to RMA two of my monitors (my center and my right) and after getting my new ones today, the setting is still grayed out. They are three Samsung S27B350s with everything at default besides the HDMI Black Level (since I thought that perhaps there was a discrepancy in their settings).
Any and all help is, as always, greatly appreciated...

Thanks for the idea Lutz!
why do you want to set hdmi black level to low? you know low setting means limited rgb color range (16-235), which means crushed colors and diminished overall picture quality. whereas hdmi black level normal is full rgb range (0-255).
Also that setting is not gonna make huge difference if you have backlight bleeding. Only thing what helps on that is to reduce brigthness, but that is not so good thing to do. You have to live with the backlight bleed, sorry my condolences
yes, setting hdmi level to low won't make your monitor's blacks darker than they can possibly be, it just creates that illusion of better contrast and better blacks but it's fake.
set hdmi level to normal and then calibrate from there.
Also isnt HDMI black level setting only for HDMI connection. How are the monitors connected to your GTX 680? Im pretty sure there aint 3 of HDMI connectors
