Comment (by heleppkes):

 Some short facts on the topic:

 - 99.9% of all content is encoded as 16-235
 - TVs (and other consumer electronic devices) usually operate in 16-235
 - PC monitors use 0-255

 So knowing this, you need to expand the 16-235 to 0-255 when watching
 video on a PC monitor (or a TV configured for 0-255).
 Many PC video players are capable of this, they just need to be told if
 you watch content on a PC monitor or a TV.
