Good Day All,
I am new to this forum but I have been surfing it for sometime over the last month looking at what people say about everything from Audio/Video Equipment to gaming systems. I thought that I should ask my question here to see what kind of answers I may get. I have all three next-gen systems and am looking to get most likely a Front Projector in the near future.
I seem to play on my Xbox the most and it has the ability to display some pretty cool images via the HDTV pack. But, I have also heard that some people have had problems with the Xbox and certain TV's or Projectors (e.g. there was a posting yesterday about a guy waiting for the new models of Samsung DLP to come out because of known probs with these TV's and Xbox images).
Can anyone either direct me to a posting about most common problems Xbox owners have had with HD images and certain TV/Projectors and tell me what or what can't be done.
I have had some probs too at my local home audio store when trying my Xbox out.
I was trying to use my Xbox on what is basically a Screenplay 4800 (Infocus).
Problem 1:
There was times that there were TWO images being displayed at the same time. We had to go tinker in the Xbox menu and I can honestly say that I cannot remember what we did. However, I was disturbed by this and I do know that an individual who called the store I deal with was having the same problem with the Samsung DLP RPTV.
Problem 2:
When I tried to get a widescreen image is mainly squished it. I had W/S set up in my Xbox menu as well as the projected was in 16:9 mode as well, but it still squished it (the game was Project Gotham Racing 2). However, I do know that when I played Simpson's Hit and Run, there were no probs and I found that strange becasue both games are 16:9 on the box.
Problem 3:
Shouldn't the projector recognize what is being sent, especially when it is in Native mode. I assumed that Native mode was for the projector to see what image it is and then project accordingly.
If any of these questions sound stupid, I am sorry, but I want to make sure that any projector I buy can do what I want, especially play my Xbox in HD and 16:9 if they are offered on the game.
Thanx in advance for any advice.
