Ok, I thought I knew enough about projectors to make this look nice, but I guess I don't. I have the InFocus LP280 projector, using my computer dvd as source. Connect it over SVideo for 800x600 resolution. Overlooking the crappification from the GF4 video output chip...
It looks a mess. The picture looks out of focus, despite having the projector focused perfectly. There is a grainyness to it, sort of pixely. Some flashing, possibly from Macrovision. It looks like a 320x240 Divx basically. And it's not from the video out of the computer. I've seen this video out on a tv, and I know the crappyness it adds. This is a different crappyness. Granted, I am only projecting on the wall, which is off-white at best. But still, I should be seeing a relatively clean 800x600 image. Black is not very black if I set the white point correctly. And the tint is tweaked to the purply side when it is adjusted as close as possible to the source, which might be the projector, since it doesn't have RGB adjustments, only tint.
Am I doing something wrong here? Any things I can try different or devices to add to increase the quality? Do I need something like a line doubler? Thanks!
