Mine just arrived today, and I'm not getting on too well !
I've got a 7.5m Lindy DVI-D cable connected to an OPtoma H56 PJ.
I plugged in a portable telly via the Scart so I could actually see the setup menu. The firmware is the latest 252N version, so it has the extra DVI modes.
The first concern is that the casing of the player seems to 'float' (electrically that is !) so that I'm getting a tingle off it from time to time. Since it has a two-pin lead I suppose there's nothing to earth the case except maybe via the signal earths, so perhaps that will be solved by connecting it to something with a 'real' earth like the amp.
The main convern though is that I'm having trouble getting anything over the DVI connection.
I selected 576p/50hz in the menu, but that doesn't synch. Cycling through the output modes via the 'v-mode' button the PJ shows the following legends (I don't know what 'mode' means):
1440x480 60Hz mode 48 (pic is just blue)
1440x480 60Hz mode 77 (pic is green and posterized)
1440x576 50Hz mode 57 or 98 (pic multicoloured and posterized)
1280x720 60Hz mode 70 (pic is often fantastic, but the right half of the frame occupies the left half of the screen)
1920x540 60Hz mode 77 (posterized)
Occasionally I've got a good picture on 576p setting, but the PJ shows it as 60Hz, and in slow pans the stuttering is terrible.
Sometimes I get a good picture on 1080i as well, again with the 60Hz stutter.
Since I'm getting varying results I'm inclined to think that the cable might be the main problem, although the 50Hz output coming out at 60Hz is also annoying. This is so frustrating !
Any ideas ?
