I just discovered that for whatever reason my intel gpu set limited color range and so the picture displayed by the monitor is not perfect.
issuing: xrandr --output HDMI2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
fixes it, but the monitor goes black for a couple of seconds when i set it.
Would it be possible to set the property right into an xorg configuration file?
Thanks.

According to the wiki it is not. But there are several ways to have the xrandr command run at startup depending on how you start X.

Yes, thanks, but my intent was to avoid the "glitch".
I thought that doing that when the screen was initialized could do the trick.

You can try to run a proptest command during boot to set the property:

Veru interesting and informative progandy, thank you.
I did not even considered that probably even the console is using a limited color range, and so i'd have the 'glitch' anyway.

I finally solved this, it took the entire morning.
It turns out i915 drm driver strictly follows CTA-861 standards which defines a set of video modes for which the limited color output has to be preferred (CE modes)
Turned out my monitor has the default timing set to one of them.
So what i did was to generate a new videomode with "gtf", then edited my edid with wxedid by modifying the "DTD" field on the "EDID:Main" section and in the "EDID: CEA-861" section by copying it (well, trial and error).
Saved it in /usr/lib/firmare/edid, told the kernel to load it; told xorg to load it, rebooted, and... done.
