coffee78 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Running a HTPC with a Gigabyte D2SH and Pioneer S02. HDMI connection from the on-board graphics to the 2nd HDMI port on a Samsung A650. All sources displayed excellent picture quality at full screen. Wasn't getting sound through the HDMI and found BIOS was set to to DVI. So changed the BIOS setting to HDMI. Now have picture and better sound through HDMI. 1920x1080. What's changed is the picture quality. Windows and Firefox are fine. PowerDVD BD plays BD with excellent PQ at full screen. DVDs are excellent at 576. What has changed is that when a DVD is upscaled to full screen, the contrast is shot and the black and colour is washed out. UPDATE: Added a Twinhan DVB-S2 (ADSP-400) this weekend. DVT is excellent in a small window. Without counting the pixels, I'm estimating from the window size this is native 1:1. DVT displays the same loss of contrast when upscaled to full screen. Anybody had a similar problem and found an answer? This post has been updated and moved across from the PVR section of the Forum.
