I have a new 37" Westinghouse panel that offers 1080p through DVI. I have it hooked up to my Pentium 4 3.0GHz MythTV frontend/backend and its Nvidia 6200TC card with the DVI-D cable that came with my four-year old 17" monitor.
The picture looks fantastic, but having never owned a HDTV before I don't know if I'm missing out on something. Two things: 1) When there's movement of the entire picture (if, say, the camera pans or zooms, as opposed to a person walking across a static room) when playing a HD recording, sometimes I'll see the top 1/6 of the screen slightly out of phrase with the remainder; it changes slightly ahead or behind the rest. Otherwise, the picture is entirely consistent. Is this simply a function of the computer not being able to quite keep up with the work of displaying the movement? I do have Myth deinterlacing with the kernel codec without XvMC, have OpenGL XV sync on on both nvidia-settings and Myth, and am using Jarod Wilson's modeline for this specific panel. 2) /var/log/Xorg.log tells me that the card has a single link connection to the display. Should I buy a new, explicitly dual-link DVI cable? My cable's connectors have all the pins needed for dual link, but I don't know if that's the only factor involved in whether a cable is dual-link compliant or not. -- Yeechang Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US
