Umm...which 1080i or 1080p? You guys never say.

What about 1080i 120hz versus 1080p 60hz? Eh? Eh?

Dave, the reason your image shrinks a bit is the timings are different for 1080i and 1080p. if you go into the sync timing for 1080i and adjust them the image will change width.

O.K. I'll look for that when I redo the 1080i settings. I would like to use my Integra DVD player for upscaling as it has a better scaler built in than the Sony Blu-ray. I had pretty much abandoned the thought of this as it was getting to be a nuisance.

Thanks again.

Line doubled images on graphics grade crt projectors are only using a tiny fraction of the available phosphor, whereas 2500x2000 computer applications are using every available molecule. It would be my assumption that you'd get much faster wear with super high resolution since you're actually using much more of the phosphor.

Also, institutional installations are most often setup for whatever the purpose is, rarely is that purpose to produce a pleasant "image" most often it is to display data, high contrast white or other solid backgrounds with little change or movement, lots of time its just text. If you want a formula for burning tubes quickly, simply set up the highest possible resolution to use the most phosphor, then excite ALL of that phosphor with a solid color background to best display text on, surely you'll burn tubes much faster than if you show video at constantly varying brightness with an infinitely varying background and only actually use a tiny fraction of the available phosphor because your resolution is so low...
