[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 421682, member: 76888"] ok thanks for clarifying If your using MP to watch NZTV I recommend Set ATI to 1920 x 1080 x 50hz Set ATI to 0% overscan Set MP to normal mode Use HDMI2 input on TV Set TV to "Just scan" - The reason you should set ATI CCC to 50hz, is because NZ TV signal is Pal which is 50hz signal. - Normal mode means the picture will be scaled by the codec to 1920x1080 (unless watching Freeview HD terrestial TV3 which is already 1920x1080) - Set 0% overscan because you don't want to double scale the picture and loose quality by making the picture smaller and inserting black bars.... as your already at the correct resolution of 1920x1080 and your TV supports 1:1 pixel mapping - Set TV to just scan, this means that it doesn't try to cut off any of the picture and displays every single pixel at 1:1 mapping NB - you may notice that Just scan mode dissapears if you set the ATI CCC to 60hz. This doesn't matter because you shouldn't be using 60hz mode. and probably will never need to display 60hz content on your htpc, as everything will be from the tv which is 50hz, or if you watch bluray discs they will be 24 fps (24hz) If you watch a DVD/blueray/downloaded movie, you may want to set the ATI CCC to 24hz (1920x1080x24hz aka 1080p24). If you don't notice the difference between 24hz and 50hz when viewing a cinematic 24fps movie, then just use 50hz all the time. If you use 24hz, you will also have to set overscan back to 0% (as it defaults to 15%), you only have to set the overscan once and CCC will remember your settings for that resolution. NB - Not all movies are encoded at 24fps, some are 23.96fps or some maybe 30fps if recorded from ntsc tv, some maybe 25fps or 50fps if PAL DVD. [/QUOTE]
