    Panasonic PT-AE500 Projector Review

    Thanks very much Adam for replying. I've spent another several hours with 2 computers, 2 DVI-D cables, and 2 video cards, and have briefly seen the DVI port working after rebooting the computer when the cable is connected and the projector is turned on. Your suggestion was totally "spot-on"...

    Panasonic PT-AE500 Projector Review

    Thanks Bob for your excellent suggestion. I just signed up as a new forum member on avsforum, and posted an inquiry much the same as the one here. I when through that forum (and this one) quite carefully before posting, and get the impression that my experience is very uncommon. I have not...

    Panasonic PT-AE500 Projector Review

    Thanks Adam for an excellent review of the Panasonic AE500 projector. On the basis of your review and comments on this forum I purchased the Pansonic and am delighted with it. In attempting to use the DVI-D input, I have been unable to get the proector to produce any output. The ATI Radeon in...

    DVI Video Card for Panny AE500 with 1280 x 720 rez

    I'm stumped! The Panasonic projector takes the very same analog synch from a Padeon ATI card I tried at 1280 X 720, 800 X600, and 640 X 480 and works just fine through the analog port. The DVI Digital output of the ATI card at the very same resolutions will *NOT*** work with the Panasonic DVI...

    DVI Video Card for Panny AE500 with 1280 x 720 rez

    Thanks for the suggestion Eric. I'm not sure what you are referring to. The only slection I am aware of which affects the choice of inputs is the 3-way selector of video, PC, or component. When the PC mode is selected, the user then has the choice of either DVI or analog (15 pin subminature D...

    DVI Video Card for Panny AE500 with 1280 x 720 rez

    Well I've tried the GeForce 5200 and is works superbly at 1280 X 768 with a DVI Digital connection to a 17 inch HD LCD display I also have here. The Panasonic projector must not like the DVI Digital input unless the additional HDCP layer is present, and I think I am forced to chose either analog...

    DVI Video Card for Panny AE500 with 1280 x 720 rez

    Yes, I've tried using Powerstrip, and can add a 1280 by 720 mode to the available resolution settings. The Panasonic projector will not accept this signal however, and it may be the added protocol of HDCI that's missing or it may be that the resolution is right but that the clock, sweep rates...

    DVI Video Card for Panny AE500 with 1280 x 720 rez

    I'm looking for a video card which has DVI-Digital output and can drive the Panasonic AE500U projector at 720p resolution. The card should be capable of 1280 by 720 resolution. I've tried the nVidia Geforce FX5200 which does have DVI-Digital output, but it does not appear to support the...
