Question / Help Issue with OBS Projectors

Along side streaming and Broadcast teching I also run a few events that require Video Output to a stage/screens etc., the past few events I've tried to use OBS for this and it works really well, I use a full screen projector outputting to wherever I need it to go.
The only issue is whenever I open a OBS projector all the Blacks seem lifted, dispite being in the correct colour space. Example:
In OBS:
In OBS.PNG

Projector:
Projector.PNG


How can I get blacks to display correctly?

I don't think it's relevant but here's the log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/4P5DWzd3OMgvEhZ4

I assume the default canvas color is transparent, not black. Canvas pixels not covered by any source are sent in the default color by OBS, which is transparent.
You projector seems to display transparent as gray, while the OBS preview seems to display it as black.

Workaround: If your sources don't cover every pixel of your canvas with non-transparent colors, create one that covers the whole canvas with your desired default color and put it on the bottom of the sources list. An appropriate source is probably the built-in "Color Source". Make it cover the whole canvas with Transform->"stretch to screen". Or use some pre-made image that covers your canvas.

Thank you, this seems to solve my issue for now!
