Hello all
Just wanted to share an experience
I've been struggling with my GBPVR setup for a while now, with so so image quality and jerkiness when panning, whilst watching TV and DVDs. I was running a PCIe Radeon HD 2400 Pro and feeding it into a Hyundat 32" 720p LCD TV. The native resolution of the telly is 1366x768, so I had the driver set to that and forced the refresh rate to 50hz (necessary for the UK) using powerstrip.
Well, I finally got around to swapping my VGA lead for a DVI->HDMI lead this week and what a difference!
The image quality is MILES better and scrolling / panning is super smooth, although only at 1280 x 720. I don't mind missing a small part of the screen for the return in image quality. I can run at 50hz natively now (without Powerstrip) and have applied all sorts of ffdshow sharpening with no impact on performance. The display looks fantastic.
I just wish I'd changed to a digital lead a long time ago!!
Hope this helps someone
