I have been a member of this forum for some time now, but this is my first post. Please forgive me if I stuff it up.
I recently purchased a Domino 20H. My initial positioning of the projector was a temporary one until the new equipment rack I had on order arrived. The only calibration I performed was using some recommended settings of a fellow owner. Even so, I was very happy with the picture.
When the rack arrived I enlisted the help of a friend to position the projector and calibrate it using the DVE disc. This is when my problem started...
After setting up the projector with the DVE disk I haven't been happy with the picture. So much so, I even reset the projector to factory settings. Still not happy. Tried using the temporary settings I had been using before (the one's provided by a fellow owner), but still no joy.
I am using a Toshiba RDXS-32 HDD/DVD Recorder to play DVD's (I am saving up for a HDMI DVD player) through a DVDO Iscan Pro via component cable and then VGA to component cable into the back of the 20H. I've turned off Progressive Scan on the DVD player (to allow the Iscan Pro to do the de-interlacing). The Iscan Pro is set to all default settings (detent).
The main issue for me is the crispness or sharpness of the picture. It just doesn't seem to be as good anymore. The two discs I was happiest with before (The Transporter and I Robot) just don't look as good.
After using the DVE disc I ended up with the following settings:
Brightness 70
Contrast 64
Colour 68
Tint 50
Sharpness 4
Filter 4
Prior to that I was using:
Brightness 52
Contrast 58
Colour 52
Tint 50
Sharpness 4
Filter 4
The colour temperature was set to Medium in all instances.
I even tried bypassing the Iscan Pro and going direct from the DVD player to the 20H.
As stated above, resetting to initial settings hasn't helped either.
HELP!!
Any advice or guidance greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Martin.
