[QUOTE="Leon_Gjerland, post: 218615, member: 11320"] For the best result, set your screen resolution to your panels native resolution to avoid unnessecary scaling. For 16:9 displays they are usually 1366x768 or 1920x1080. For 1366x768 you normally have to set it to 1360x768 (which is dividable by 8). Some plasmas have 1024x768 which is a 4:3 resolution, but since each pixel is "stretched" by 1.33 the panels 16:9 ratio i maintained. In this case you have to set the "Pixel Ratio Adjustment" under Settings, Screen-setup, Screen Calib so MP can handle its own aspect ratios correct. More important than 1:1 pixel mapping is to set the correct refresh rate depending on the source material to get smooth motion. For TV this is 50 Hz for PAL and 60 Hz for NTSC. 60 Hz is no problem, but 50 Hz often needs to be created through custom resolutions in nVidia- or ATi-driveres, or by PowerStrip. Also note that many displays handles 50 Hz even if its not "officially suported". For optimal GUI-performance set "Max FPS" to your screens refresh rate under Settings, Screen-setup, Scroll Speed. This is the "short version" as there are many other aspects and compromises involved in getting "the perfect picture", such as codecs, deinterlacing, post processing, color space etc etc. [/QUOTE]
