Yep, that "HDMI Black Level" is going to be the one.
I looked up some common TVs, here are the menu options and proper settings for U-Verse:
Panasonic TH-42PZ85U: Menu option is "Black Level", choices are "Dark" and "Light". Not sure which one is the correct setting.
Samsung LM46A540: Menu option is "HDMI Black Level", choices are "Normal" and "Low". Not sure which one is the correct setting.
Sony KDS-55A3000: Menu option is "RGB Dynamic Range", choices are "Auto", "Limited", and "Full". "Full" is the correct setting.
LG 52LG50: Menu option is "Black Level", choices are "Low" and "High". Not sure which one is the correct setting.
Pioneer PDP-5020FD: Menu option is "HDMI Input/Video", choices are "Color-1", "Color-2", "Color-3", and "Color-4". "Color-4" is the correct setting.
I looked up some other TVs as well, including the Sharp Aquos and Toshiba Regza series, but could not find any adjustment that would be the 0-255/16-235 selector.
