Calling Toshiba TV owners !

If there are any .........
Just like to hear what settings, connections etc you are running ?
Is there anyway to make use of the tv's PC input but have it in the correct AR for widescreen ?

Cheers

Re: Calling Toshiba TV owners !

I have a 32WL66A. I have the Nvidia driver set to "treat my display as a HD TV" and have it set tp 720P output (1280x720). Due to the tv overscanning it's HDMI input I have to use nVidia's 'Resize Desktop' function which brings my res down to 1232 x 684. Strangely the PC input on the Toshy only seems to support 4:3 res'.

Re: Calling Toshiba TV owners !

I have the 36 inch version of this CRT TV. It does not support widescreen with the PC input as far as I know. I use the S-video in cinema mode which gives me widescreen aspect ratio on screen and cuts the Top and bottom bits off. If you play widescreen material in this mode it plays with the right AR. If I play videos with 4:3 it cuts off the Top and bottom and still shows whatever it can. But at all times the videos are right AR. Love the CRT. The good thing about the CRT is even my old VCD videos look clear while the same thing shows macroblocks on friends LCD. CRT rules

Oh almost forgot. I tried to set the AR with the drivers to accomodate 16:10 AR but then a problem came up. The 16:9 videos played fine but the 4:3 videos kept shrinking vertically as there was no space for the top and bottom bits to be off screen. If you know what I mean. So you will have to choose.

SET 4:3 AR for windows like 800x600 and get correct AR for all videos
or SET 16:10 AR and get squashed 4:3 videos etc

hope this helped.

Re: Calling Toshiba TV owners !

Got the 42" one. Best i've got it is DVI>HDMI @ custom 720p res (adjusted for overscan).

Although I have been able to force it to run at 1280x768 via VGA (it only likes 768 vert res and 1360 horz has messed up colours) but it's like 2x worse than the overscan at 720p via HDMI. I don't think the tv likes it.
