Ongoing Samsung Series 6 52 inch and Catylist Control Centre Optimum Settings (1 Viewer)

[gperkinson]

Hi All,

I have a Samsung Series 6 52 inch TV and I'm running Vista 32 bit on my machine.

All my display settings are under the Catalyst Control Centre and I'm looking for the optimum settings so the screen is completely full. I guess there may also be some options on the TV Menu as well.

Currently the desktop pulls in from each side and is not utilising the whole screen.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Graham

CCC -> DTV -> Underscan to 0% and on TV sharpening to 0...

Hi,

Thanks for the note.

I worked out the underscanning, however I cannot go all the way to zero otherwise the screen blurrs and is too big. Could not find the "sharpening" option either?

Have also set my TV to "Just Scan" which seems to work well with the underscan just below zero.

Cheers

On the 6 series Samsungs with ATI, setting the TV to "Just Scan, underscan to 0, and 1920x1080 res, is what should give you 1:1 pixel mapping.

Yep, that's what I'm using now and it seems to work well, although as mentioned, 0 underscan seems to make everything too zoomed and out of focus.

Thanks for the reply

Oh, that's a bit strange. With underscan not at "0", do you get a black border around the outside? I need to have it set to "0" for the image to fit the screen completely, which also gives me the sharpest picture/text, as it's 1:1. (This is with a 40" 6 Series)

Yes, I get a small black border i.e. about 1-2cm in from the sides, however at 0, it's out of focus and zoomed in so things do not fit on the screen. I have a 52 inch Samsung Series 6. Would love to have a completely full screen. I wonder if you have other settings set that I don't?

Hi,

Should have mentioned that if I select the tickbox under the scaling settings, I can select "0".

I have found recently that when there is fast motion on the screen, I get blurring. I'm sure it was never as bad as it is now. Same Codec (CoreAVC) I have also downloaded ffdshow and it's the same.

Any advice appreciated.

Make sure to use the "Just scan" feature of the Samsung TV (RTM) to avoid unnecessary scaling.

Hi,

Even with the "Just Scan" option set with no scaling, the picture does not seem to totally fill the screen?

By the way, this is mainly on a 1080i broadcast (interlaced) In order to get any picture at all on this channel, I had to activate de-interlacing in the CoreAVC Codec configuration and set MY TV de-interlacing to "Best".

Any more advice appreciated.
