« on: October 08, 2004, 04:02:00 PM »
i got 53" pioneer handles all resolutions up to 1080i... i have all hd modes enabled on msdash... but when i start a 720p game the screen gets garbled split 3 times vertically across the screen... i also noticed if i disable 1080i in msdash then my avalaunch has the same scrambled screen scenario when it attempts to run in 720p... now i know my tv run in 720p so wtf? any ideas.... i do have the cheapass madcatz component cable (only one easily available here) so im sure thats not helping but can that be the whole prob???  thanks for any info

 I'm not aware of any Pioneer 53" TV that supports 720p.  I'm pretty sure you are SOL for 720p.  :(

If it's still in the 30 day money back guarantee period, you could return it for something that supports the full HDTV spec.  :unsure:

 1080 i is like 540p bandwidth wise. 720 is very taxing on a set.

go CRT FP  :luv:

Pioneer and Mitsubishi are two of the CRT based RPTV manufacturers that don't provide for upconversion when fed a 720p signal through the component inputs.  Hitachi and Toshiba will upconvert to 1080i (CRT RPTV's native HD resolution).  Some other brands will upconvert, a few will downconvert to 480p, and some others will not accept 720p at all.  Arguably Mits, Pioneer, and Hitachi make the best CRT RPTVs so that is 1/3 for Xbox owners looking for 720p.  The next generation of consoles will have enough power to handle both HD resolutions so this won't be an issue in the future.
