PC Connection
(1) What is the native resolution of this set? What conversion does it do with 480i,
480P, 720P and 1080i signals? If you can select the format with your STB what is
optimum? The native resolution is 1366x768. Being a fixed pixel display everything will
ultimately be converted to that resolution. My STB outputs 1080i and not 720p so I can't
compare the two, but I suppose math would say that 720p would be less work for the
scaler. 1080i looks just fine to me, though.
(2) Anyone tried a computer hooked up to the DVI port? Hooking a pc up to this
thing is apparently a pain. Many have not gotten above 540 resolution and 720 pretty
much being the max with a good amount of overscan. Do a search for GWII and DVI and
you should find plenty of info.
Here is the powerstrip setting which is most successful so far. I copied it from burble's
post. It has no overscan, but resolution is 1184x666. Hmm, 666..... Devil's setting maybe.
PowerStrip timing parameters:
1184x666=1184,69,88,307,666,31,17,32,73764,336
Generic timing details for 1184x666:
HFP=69 HSW=88 HBP=307 kHz=45 VFP=31 VSW=17 VBP=32 Hz=60
Linux modeline parameters:
"1184x666" 73.764 1184 1253 1341 1648 666 697 714 746 +hsync +vsync
Note that this is a few clicks away from a freaky scan which may cause the top to curve
to the right. I adjusted the vertical size around it until it went flat, then reset the vertical
refresh to 60Hz.
(3) Are there any steps or procedures to connect through the DVI port?
Yes.
Get DVI working at 640x480. Make sure DVI is the only connection to the TV and make
sure that it is the primary display (display properties in Windows).
Start up PowerStrip.
Click on the PowerStrip icon in the task bar and select Display Profiles/Configure. A
configuration window should pop up.
Make sure "Hide modes not supported by monitor" is NOT checked.
Click on Advanced timing options.
1. Click on Custom resolutions button.
2. Scroll down to 1280x720p (HDTV Standard) and select it.
