Starting to dish out Christmas gifts and got a few nexus players. Its horrible that this issue is not fixed yet. You could root and run a 5.1.1 ROM but there is only 1 i saw and its soon to be discontinued. Flashing the stock image will just Update overnight. Any timeline for when google will fix this ? Here is a picture of the bug i took on my monitor.
My Post from XDA :
Just wanted to let you know this may have the color bug. My monitor has the ability to have two sources on the screen at once. the Left half is my pc and the right is the nexus player. The same YouTube video is playing. There is a large difference in black levels on the nexus player. Same panel so there is no variation in screen technology. Hopefully google has a fix soon. Do you know of a way to remedy this ?

They have fixed the bug internally but stated they prefer not to deliver updates over major holidays.
