For the top, I see 2 white pixels right above the two triangles facing up (the ones just inside the "1:1" labels), but the corresponding triangles at the bottom don't have the white pixels below them. The Pioneer test pattern has a ruler on the right side, I could see that the edge of the display was at about the "5" so I think it had about 5% overscan in that mode.īy the way, what exactly do I need "to look for" on the Sony 7669 pattern? The triangles labeled "16:9" and "1.78" at the 4 corners seem to have a 1-pixel wide vertical bar attached to them and I can see them on both sides, so I think the width is fine. If you know what to look for, you probably can check with the Sony 7669 resolution pattern. To check if it's doing 1:1 you have to use special resolution patterns (like 1 pixel checkerboards, or one pixel tall or wide horizontal or vertical alternating black and white resolution lines.) Now it just stays on the Dot by Dot mode.ĭoesn't hurt to give each mode a try when playing various sources and choose the best looking one. I don't really mess with all of the other settings except the colors & brightness. I think the Dot by Dot mode looks the best.
ASPECT RATIO DOT BY DOT MANUAL
Based on the manual and the equipment I'm using, I should be using the "Dot by Dot" mode.right? Then again I sometimes think the PQ looks better when set to "Dot by Dot". However when I set it to "Dot by Dot" the Aspect ratio becomes smaller, especially with 2.35.1 and 2.40.1 movies (I get about an inch more of black band on the top and bottom of the screen) However I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me or whether it's all psychological, but sometimes I think the PQ is equal to the PQ when set to "Stretch" mode. When I set my LCD to "Stretch" mode I tend to get a slightly bigger picture allowing me to maximize my screen size and the PQ seems to be pretty good. Stretch Mode (Manual definition): Suitable for viewing widescreen 1.78:1 aspect ratio programs, stretch mode will show very thin black lines on the top and bottom of the screen:ĭot by Dot (Manual definition): Detects the resolution of the signal and displays an image with the same number of pixels on the screen. These are the two view modes that I'm considering watching my BD movies. These word sizes range from a nibble to more than 128 bits. Word size = 16 bits (or two bytes).I have a question for the home theater experts out there.The word size for a computer is the number of bits that the central processing unit (CPU) of a particular computer can handle at one time.
The display resolution or display modes of digital television, computer monitor, or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed.The smaller the dot pitch, the sharper the picture.
This distance is very small and is typically measured in fractions of millimeters.
It is a measurement that defines the sharpness of a display.Viewable image size is usually measured diagonally, but the actual widths and heights are more informative since they are not affected by the aspect ratio in the same way.Monitors usually have the aspect ratio 4:3, 5:4, 16:10, or 16:9. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal length to the vertical length.
