After recently purchasing this unit, I am ready to dive deeper into properly adjusting this for optimum PQ. I've already backed off the contrast somewhat, but I think more can be done. BTW, this is also the first time I've been able to use my 5109 Tosh. DVD player in "progressive scan".
I am a bit befuddled...the projector manual says that certain adj. settings will only be available in certain modes- for instance, I want to adjust sharpness, and this is only available in video mode, not in 480p. Chroma, and a few other things are the same way. What do I do? Run my DVD player in 480i mode (or generic video) and tweak these settings (using DVE) and then revert back to 480p after I have everything dialed in?
This seems like the only logical, even available work-around; but will switching from interlaced to progressive-scan have any bearing on these settings, once adjusted? I would think not, but since using P/S is new to me, I didn't want to make any assumptions.
Is convergence an issue with DLP projectors? Reason I'm asking is, I watched Pirates of the Carribean tonight, and could see what appeared to be some faint 'ghosting' or something like it around certain vertical objects- muskets, for example, as Jack Sparrow (Depp)chatted with those two nit-wit guards on the pier before trying to steal the ship. Onscreen Texts could be a bit sharper, too. This looks like a convergence issue you'd see on a CRT that needed some adjustment.
Thanks!
