How about a table of the different computer/HD resolutions+refresh rates and their bandwidth? That would be REALLY helpful.

A general area in the specifications/ranking page with the electronics vs. tube resolving capabilities would be great also.

Hmm.. maybe I could Very Happy.. But I would just be borrowing information of the internet of course.. Bandwidth math is not one of my strong points lol. Wink

I think community knowledge is probably the best way to put this all together:D

There are a couple interesting bandwidth calculators out there.
http://myhometheater.homestead.com/bandwidthcalculator.html
is an easy one to use.
Also, here's a more technical paper that was very interesting from an analog video point of view:
http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/appnote_number/750/
It has some tables in it regarding bandwidth at certain resolutions and frame rates.

thanks, Mark

Don't worry we only off people who are over 95, acompanied by both parents ,and gran parents.
Wink

It's not something you can adjust in the projector. All the projector is telling you is what the signal is that's comming into it. You have to adjust it at the source by changing resolutions.

No offence, but can you please use the odd CAPITAL letter? Your post's are hard to decipher.

A HTPC is a great idea if you love frustration, are atheletice in gymnastics, for jumping through hoops and don't mind loosing your hair or sometimes your mind.

Yep HTPC's are a lot of fun. I've had 6 of them in the last 11 years.

The PG Plus likes 1080I and 720P. The source puts the signal out if you select it with (HDSTB) and DVD.

You tell the PC what to put out.
After that you need to register the signal in the projector if it says 'Unregistered Signal' (do a signal entry) for the things the HTPC puts out like boot modes, refresh rates, sync properties, polarity, gamma, porch settings, Power Strip, TheaterTech, Power DVD, overlay-underlay? and other display software driver update fun stuff then show the wife how.

Being new at this you can ask the HTPC guys for help setting it all up. Im not a big fan of HTPC's for a reason but these guys will help you with all the easy stuff. Very Happy

Yes I hear ya. NEC did things a little oddly.

I went to look at a 6PG a few nights ago and I coulnd't get it to see a 640 x 480 signal. The guy demonstrated S-video working but I still passed. I tried registering a signal too.
