overscan on parhelia?

[robotfunk]

well this card has me drooling ...
only thing on my mind

will this card support overscan with dualhead zoom ( not just on dvdmax as with g400)
or fullscreen zoom w/o underscan?

i dont care which way as long as there are no borders around tv image

i don't see this mentioned in the specs ive read .. maybe not a big deal for most ppl but it is for me

[Maggi]

since a few driver revision, you can adjust your TV overscan settings for all DualHead boards and thus I don't see any reason why they could drop that feature again ...

[robotfunk]

yeah i found those settings and while they work great for DVDmax
I still get borders with dualhead Zoom

if you have any tips on how to get dualhead Zoom w/o borders working please share them

[Maggi]

hmmm ... will check again tonight on my home system.

Until then you could provide us with your system details (OS, drivers etc)

I never had problems displaying video on second monitor, dunno what kind of set up these people have. only prob is the borders ... the newer drivers fix this for DVDmax but I still get them using dualhead Zoom mode. The one thing i haven't tried is adjusting the second screen size AFTER zooming , will try that this weekend.

[Maggi]

sorry for delay, but I still couldn't find any time to check out my home system in terms of overscan in zoom mode. Hopefully I can do it overr the weekend and let you know.

Cheers,
Maggi

Hi Maggi

Long time no see. I have been out of the hardware forum loop for a while. I hope you are well.

Are you still crunching for SETI?

I should say something about Matrox video cards to keep this post on-topic.

Go Matrox! I want their latest and greatest! It looks like I will be keeping my G400 for another year or two untill the price comes down to afford one though.

I think one of the posters on the forum thread you posted may have sumed it up when he said this

"I've never seen the card or what it can do, but, I'll tell all of you:

BEWARE!"

Heya Swing-Man !

Long time no see, indeed ...

just a few weeks ago I restarted crunching SETI, which I had quit mainly for lack of free time to really take care of it.

Good to see you back in here and it seems that you'Re also quite excited about Parhelia.

Take care and CU again,
Maggi
