[QUOTE="doveman, post: 832293, member: 67412"] Hi mm1352000 Sorry if I wasn't clear but I'm not trying or expecting to be able to properly calibrate it. I'm just trying to work out the correct procedure. It's not about the resolution of the material really, just that 60hz material needs to be run at 854x480@60hz and 50hz material needs to be run at 1024x576@50hz. It's something to do with square pixels which I don't entirely understand, but I got a lot of advice about this from sneals2000, who seems to know his stuff, over here [url=http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1355148]Tweaking VGA->SCART RGB timings - AVS Forum[/url] I've managed to grab some screenshots over VNC to illustrate the problem. Obviously they're not a perfect representation of what's on the screen, but they're close and take the TV out of the equation. If I could guarantee that the GUI will always run at 1024x576 obviously I'd only need to do the GUI calibration at that, but I don't know that. As you can see, I've calibrated at 1024x576 with a 64,24 offset and all the edges fit. At 854x480 MP reports 854x534 and I haven't calibrated to that as well as I don't think MP allows it to be calibrated to two different resolutions. With the Screen Calibration, at 1024x576 the OSD (and the subtitles) show in the right position, but at 854x480 again MP reports 854x534 and the OSD is pushed off-screen. However, testing again later it reported the correct 854x480 and the OSD looks correct. At 1024x576 the movie (Limitless) looks right with equal black bars above and below and the OSD in the right place.
