I get a real decent tv out picture with the G450, when I increase the brigthness and contrast and decreases the saturation a bit. The image quality is much better than with my G400 (I have a G400MAX and a normel G400). The only thing is the line flicker. The main problem of the two G400 are: 1) unsharp 2) no homogen image illumination. two big dark vertical strips. Looks like a analog problem. I see the problem on both g400 under linux and windows and also on different mainboars. so I can say that the G400 is the best choice. Any idea what I can do to solve the G400 or G450 problems?
