Media centre resolutions & refresh rates should be set for Sony 32" Widescreen?
Hi,
I spent over 4 hrs last night browsing the forums, mainly the green button, looking for a definative answer to this question without any luck.
I have the setup as described as below and I want to output my TV signal to my Sony CRT which is a 100mhz capable TV.
I don't use a TFT or VGA to the PC, its strictly as a media centre hooked up to TV via S-Video lead and optical to 5.1 Sound
So .....What should I set my screen resolution to? Should I "Add" a custom res in the advanced option of the settings?
There seem to be so many people achieving this in different ways, some successfull and some not
I have tried some custom settings which either enable the pan and scan mode or when viewed on TV or in the settings area <---Pool balls and chaulk, Give an impression of squashed oval faces or balls
The TV can be a pain because you have the Viewing options of "Wide, Zoom, 4:3, 14:9 or Smart" Don't like having the scores etc cropped of the screen
Can somebody please help here and get something on the FAQ's ?
I would really like to have my TV output in an acceptable way to widescreen
PS. I am going to be hooking my Thompson Freeview box up from the bedroom soon, will this have any effect on what I want to achieve? Is Freeview broadcast in widescreen unlike anologue TV?
Thanks
