Yeah, 1366x768 is a popular resolution. It'll look best if you can<br>feed it a signal at native resolution, if it only takes 1024x768 then<br>there will be some horizontal scaling going on.</blockquote><div><br>Using power strip, couldn't i make a modline for the 1366x768
<br></div><div>and upscale the res?<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">You want to make sure than the problem is infact with the output
<br>quality and not the input/recording quality. How do DVDs look through<br>Myth with your current TV? Have you tried your Myth system with a<br>monitor? That would give you a better idea of how it will look on a<br>plasma or LCD screen.
</blockquote><div><br></div></div>Yea I have a 17" LCD in the lounge for using xterm etc while changing things. The Sony CRT, you can make out the writing if you have too. not easy though.<br><br>when we moved in, everything was packed (DVD player etc ), in a box someplace. Dragged out the myth box and plugged in the 17" LCD and the Difference is chalk and cheese.
<br>Occasionally while testing i leave the LCD running while watching a DVD. (while setting up xine key presses for example) and you find that you are watching the LCD from the other side of the room instead of the TV.<br>
<br>My wife saw me doing that and asked "why doesn't a normal movie look like that? (pointing at the LCD) I said "its the TV it cant display that sort of quality." you can guess where it when form there if she now wants a new TV.
