Limited vs Full range not visible Vegas Pro 23

Hello everyone,
I’ve just upgraded from Vegas Pro 22 to Vegas Pro 23. In version 22, when I switched the Color Range setting from Limited (16–235) to Full (0–255), I could immediately see a clear difference in the Preview window (blacks got deeper, whites brighter, etc.).

In Vegas Pro 23, I still see the change in the timeline thumbnails, but the Preview window looks the same whether I select Limited or Full.

Is this expected behavior due to the new color-managed workflow in Vegas 23, or am I missing a setting that allows the Preview to actually show the difference like in Vegas 22?

Thanks!
