A lot has been said about the new Hazro so far, but I haven't seen anybody test it with SD material over component input, yet. Could someone with a 24" model (which is what I'm looking to get) please try the following setups:
1) PAL DVD video (720x568) over component, with 4:3 and anamorphic widescreen (16:9, 2.35:1 or 2.45:1) aspect ratios (note: it's important that your DVD player doesn't scale the image to 1080i or anything, it needs to come through as standard definition)
2) Game console input through component, maybe with a Wii or a PS2, again both 4:3 and 16:9 would be good.
The questions that I have are:
a) For 4:3 SD material, is the image properly scaled to fill the vertical dimension, but NOT stretched horizontally to a wide ratio (16:9 or 16:10)? Is there a setting in the OSD that needs to be activated for this to happen?
b) For anamorphic widescreen material, is the image displayed correctly, i.e. horizontally stretched to 16:9 instead of staying "compressed" at 4:3? (Note: if it's stretched to 16:10, it's deformed - there should be black bars on the top and bottom with both 16:9 and 2.35:1 material)
c) Is there any sort of overscan in any situation?
d) In case you have a Wii or PS2 (or the original Xbox) that you can actually play with the monitor, how would you characterize the input lag? There is some scaling involved, after all.
e) Any other notable defects in the image?
In all other usage scenarios relevant to me, the Hazro looks very good judging by the comments. I couldn't really care less about all the decimal-accuracy measurements that overflow this thread. Instead, my buying decision depends on what the results are for SD material over component, so if anyone could please run the tests I've described here, I'd be eternally grateful.
