Mon, 21 Dec 2009 14:04:36 +0000 http://fleablog.com/?p=9#comment-57 Hi, According to the TH-42PX80U manual: Plasma Display Panel - 786,432 ( 1024(W) x 768(H) ) [3072 x 768 dots ] I have a Mac Pro with this Plasma monitor as a secondary monitor. Still trying to find a proper resolution setup as well as a gamma setup for this monitor. Creating a profile with the native panel resolution of 1024x768 only results in a 4:3 image in OSX. Trying the 3072x768 number, and it doesn't seem to be of any difference. I am new to this SwitchResX program, only hours into playing around.... So perhaps I'm not doing this correctly as of yet. Hi,

According to the TH-42PX80U manual:

Plasma Display Panel – 786,432 ( 1024(W) x 768(H) ) [3072 x 768 dots ]

I have a Mac Pro with this Plasma monitor as a secondary monitor. Still trying to find a proper resolution setup as well as a gamma setup for this monitor.

Creating a profile with the native panel resolution of 1024×768 only results in a 4:3 image in OSX. Trying the 3072×768 number, and it doesn’t seem to be of any difference. I am new to this SwitchResX program, only hours into playing around…. So perhaps I’m not doing this correctly as of yet.

Some sources say it's 1024x768, and others say it's 1366x768. Not sure what to believe. It would be nice if the OS would auto-detect your display's supported resolutions, even if your display is a TV. I’m actually revisiting this because I would like to use a higher resolution.

What's the difference (its all DVI/HDMI anyways)? JFYI, i had a apple TV before and it worked just fine with the TH-50PX80U. What’s the difference (its all DVI/HDMI anyways)?

The actual resolution for this television is 1,366 x 768. Wouldn't setting the resolution at 1224 x 688 result in diminished picture quality?

Problem solved. Again, I don't have the TH-50PX80U, I have the TH-42PX80U. The same settings seem to work though. There may be some SLIGHT clipping on each side of the screen, like maybe one or two pixels, but I'll take that over the distracting lines I was getting before.

The only problem I'm having with those settings are thin bright lines running down each side of the screen. One line is yellow and the other is blue. Sometimes both lines jump to the same side of the screen. I think it has something to do with the TV's pixel shifting technology that prevents image burn in, but I would rather not see the lines, they're a little distracting. I do have overscanning turned in in my display prefs. Any ideas? William J Sisti, thanks for posting your settings for the TH-42PX80U.
