Hi,
A friend of mine brought his projector around my house tonight to see if a projector was suitable for my room. Apart from being shocked at the quality of my Japanese GAMECUBE running in progressive, I noticed something weird when using my Xbox...
Its a stock PAL Xbox (via US official Xbox component pack), obviously outputting a PAL60 interlaced display. Whilst playing on games, you can see vertical lines across the screen. They are a sort of grey colour, and are not always noticeable. I guess its down to what colours are being displayed on screen. At first I thought it was down to the rather poor interlaced image of Xboxs PAL60 mode, so I tried it in 50hz, and although it was improved, the vertical lines were still visible. I tried 3 PAL R2 DVDs aswell (T2 Ult, Matrix, LOTR Fellowship), and the lines were visible there too.
I tried a few American and Japanese GC games on it in interlaced mode (via component lead) and there were no lines atall. It was perfect.
Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks for reading
Paul.
