Yes powerstrip is an external app. It's used to set custom resolution. Are you sure your ATi card doesn't give you the option to try 1280x720 @72Hz?

Thank's! it seems like a nice program
Do you think i can solve it with that app?

No i can only choose 50 and 60Hz in that resolution

I use
Catalyst 9.8 driver (Windows XP 32/64bit) for HD4650 AGP only for Windows XP 32-bit Edition (2009)

and
Catalyst 9.9 HOTFIX for HD2k/HD3k/HD4k AGP cards and XP 32-bit for Windows XP 32-bit Edition

That hot fix wasn't any hot for me. It's all stuck att 60hz

in winxp, go into the display properties and make sure you uncheck the "hide modes this display doesn't support" box. Then load this as your monitor driver;

see if that opens up the resolutions for you.

Thank's

If you mean horizontal scan rate, powerstrip calculates it from all other settings. Smaller is better since it stress projector less. But you can't drop horizontal porches and sync width too much, that will cause raster ringing.

Vertical porches and sync width can be much smaller without problem.

Have you tested 1080i96? These custom timings work great in my BG808s.



G70 might work also with smaller horizontal porches...

If you watch SD PAL material, then 768p75 is one option for that material.

Thanks Ile!

I think the last one works fine for me Smile

Do you know where i can swap between YCBCr and RGB?
On Playstation 3 i remember RGB / limited was the most satisfying
