Hi all,
Sorry for yet another HDTV thread, I'm not even sure if this should be in the Windows section or Home Cinema.
Anywho! I run a 7800GTX with the latest nVidia drivers (93.71 iirc). I am outputing from the second DVI on the card through to HDMI on the TV.
The resolution I have chosen from the nVidia CP for the TV is 1280x720(p). Now as far as my limited knowledge goes, progressive is better for a moving picture as it shows less artifacts. Where as interlaced, gives a sharper image but only on slow moving images and stills.
The DVD software I use to watch movies through is PowerDVD 6.
The problem I am having, is that the movies look strange, almost as if I'm running them in 8 or 16bit colour depth (which I'm not as I checked). There is noticeable banding on things like fog, clouds and skin tones. It's very easy to see, I don't have to be sitting right in front of the TV to see it.
I think there may be a setting somewhere but I am unsure what to check for. Can anyone suggest why this might be?
I used to have a problem where an image would stay on the screen even if the scene had changed (there would be a faint outline still visible) but I solved this by outputing in progressive and not at 1080(i).
Thanks for any help!
