pt-ax100u masking image with vga - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

eno · 2007-01-17, 12:31 PM

When I use vga cables from the Xbox 360 and select 1280x720 for my resolution on the pt-ax100, the screen is cut off on the left side. I can almost correct it entirely by adjusting H-position to the maximum, however there is still a slight amount of image on the left side of the screen which is not exposed. Does anyone else have this problem? I have no other device which outputs 1280x720 on vga so I don't know whether the problem is from the Xbox 360 or the projector. Any advice would be appreciated.

How about your computer to test with?

That was my first thought as well, but my video card is old and will not output at 1280x720.

You might try going into the panasonic projector menu, picture section I think, and you can adjust the horizontal position. This may get back the bit you are losing.

Also, in the same area, try changing the overscan setting.

I believe if you change these for the PC setting they'll stick for that setting and not change for your HDMI, component or video settings.

Thanks for the suggestion but as I said in my post I already adjusted the H-position to the maximum. The idea that I could correct for overscan got my hopes up for a second but the pt-ax100 only allows you to do this for component not vga. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry, I read lazily and missed that you'd done that.

Hmmm.... no other suggestions yet.
