AX-200 owners, please read...

Has anyone got the AX-200 yet? If so...

Can anyone tell me if the AX-200 will accept 1280x720 (1:1 pixel mapped) @ 47.952 (or 23.976 or 71.928) "native" using the HDMI input?

What I mean (by "native") is with no FRC - ideally tested with "JudderTest" or using the judder test pattern in a VP50 or similar.

Thanks,

Rob.

I tend to find whenever I ask this kind of question, most "shops" think I'm talking another language so I just don't bother.

I've also asked this question on AVS, but there seems to be too much bitching and bickering about nonsense going on over there...

If only I could get my hands on one for 5 mins I could answer this...

Have you tried ringing discounttv.co.uk - they've seemed pretty switched on in the past

Cheers

Hi Rob100

Have just been in contact with Panasonic and as yet the UK Engineers are putting the Projector through it's paces. So They haven't any answers yet.

I can let you know the Spec at 720p these are -

YPbPr Signal: 750 (720)/50p: 750 (720)/60p: this is the all I can obtain at the moment! once we have more we will let you know.

Regards. Shane

Have you been able to compare the sharpness from the AX-100 Shane?

Bumpety bump...

If anyone is using an AX-200 with a HTPC using DVI/HDMI I could detail how to check this if you've be willing to experiment

Re: AX-200 owners, please read...

Got my AX-200 last night...

Have tried it with my Vista laptop (via VGA cable), and a mac-mini (DVi-HDMI).

The Mac definitely gave a much better picture.

If you can supply details on how to do the Judder test I'll try it out.

Thanks for the offer, but to do the test I (well, you'd) need a Windows PC (certainly XP, possibly Vista) with a DVI/HDMI output.

Hi All
Sorry for the delay.

I cannot see any real sharpness difference.

Works fine with Windows XP just ensure your graphics card is upto the job.

We have the UVem (High End Media Server) via DVI - HDMI and have had no problems here!

Remember to set the Graphics Card to 1280 x 720p in the graphics settings for the best result.

Regards. Shane.
