TW100 using DVI - Help needed

[nelson]

I have tried using my TW100 with HCPC: ATI Radeon 7500, DVI-I, Powerstrip, but the picture is terrible. I need help with what I might be doing wrong?

The picture is blurry, noisy, poor colour and it is not displaying the full image.

The powerstrip settings are as posted by someone as being the 'official Epson settings':

Pixel Clock 74.176MHz (74.085)
Horizontal:
· Scan Rate 44.955KHz (44.954)
· Active pixels 1280 pixels
· Front porch pixels 70 pixels
· Sync width pixels 80 pixels
· Back porch pixels 220 pixels (218)
· Total pixels 1650 pixels (1648)
Vertical:
· Refresh Rate 59.940Hz (59.939)
· Active lines 720 lines
· Front porch lines 5 lines
· Sync width lines 5 lines
· Back porch lines 20 lines
· Total lines 750 lines

Please note that the figures indicated within ( ) are the closest matches I can get Powerstrip to accept without messing up all the other values.

Can anyone who is successfully using the DVI input please confirm their own settings so that I can compare.

I think you need the latest firmware patch for native pixel mapping on the DVI input. However I think these settings are meant to give a good picture so try them out.

Horizonal:
Active pixels 1280
Refresh rate 60K
Front porch 80
Sync width 136
Back porch 216
Polarity Positive

Vertical:
Active pixels 960
Refresh rate 60
Front porch 1
Sync width 3
Back porch 30
Polarity Positive

Pixel clock 102.104

or for native VGA pixel mapping which should? bypass the internal scaler..

VGA

Horizontal
Active 1280
Front porch 103
Sync width 128
Back porch 289
Total 1800
Scan rate 56.746 kHz

Vertical
Active 720
Front porch 121
Sync width 3
Back porch 150
Total 994
Refresh rate 57.089

Pixel clock 102.104

with TW100 settings / Tracking 0 / Sync. 16

So either use the DVI input with the scaler kicking in, or the vga input bypassing the scaler (if these settings work!)...otherwise wait for the firmware fix from epson.
