At the risk of repeating a recent thread I'm still confused about widescreen TV out. I'm now connecting my Myth box (with GF4 440MX) to a new widescreen TV. Currently via composite but I'll change that later.
My X resolution is set to 720x576. (Same as I used on my old 4:3 TV, actually). The TV has various zoom modes for widescreen. It doesn't seem to think that the PC output is 16:9 automatically though. (I'm not sure what it's looking for as a signal.) Is the correct way to handle this to use one of Myth's zoom/stretch modes to stretch the 16:9 source image to a 4:3 output image, then use a TV zoom mode to stretch it back? I think that should work. Our TV networks here also transmit 4:3 material with vertical black bars added to produce a 16:9 image. I think the same technique applies, with the resulting image having black bars. This is only temporary as I expect to connect the PC directly to the TV's RGBHV inputs pretty soon anyway, and run 1920x1080i or 720x576p or similar (or both at different times). thanks Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
