</div>I purposely scale the video as well. The overscan is pretty bad. It<br>
will cut off the logos etc that are supposed to be in the safe area. I<br>
looked at it both ways and I can't see a difference in terms of<br>
sharpness. Maybe I could with higher quality content, but I am just<br>
talking about TV recordings here. They aren't that sharp to start<br>
with.<br></blockquote><div><br>FWIW I also use an SD CRT TV (old, but good quality Sony 29"), and I used to have myth setup for the correct resolution (I forget exactly what I used), but when I rebuilt it last time I never got round to changing the default from 1024x768, and I must say I don't really notice the difference either.<br>
<br>It's also quite handy for the odd time I need to connect a monitor to it, 1024x768 is nicely supported.<br><br>I did used to use VDPAU too, but that nolonger works for me (I think it's related to an xorg.conf setting TBH, newer nVidia drivers just cause a kernel crash.), however as VDPAU didn't work too well with UK Channel 4, which has a habit of changing the resolution of the broadcase signal (eg, simpsons airs at 4:3, the adverts inbetween are 16:9), I'm now using opengl and interlacing (I forget which, but possibly Bob2x) and the picture I have now is the best it's ever been from myth for me. (even compared to VDPAU, which whilst problamatic, was very very nice.)<br>
