I just can't seem to get it right.
The correct Video resolution for the projector using a PC.
PS3 & Xbox 360 Looks great. When Projector screen comes on it says 1080p.
My HTPC on the other hand is driving me crazy.
What is the ideal resolution to use for a HTPC setup for 16:9 ?
The Zbox doesn't natively support 1024 x 768, I tried to use PowerStrip app to add it. (Could someone send me their Powerstrip settings with same type of display?)
The projector has an option to go from 4:3 to 16:9 , but it loses clarity. Do I have to use this on the projector to get 16:9?
IS there a resolution from the Zbox chipset that would crop it coming out and going into the Projector?
I have used XBMC for XBOX for many years and Love it. I boots quick and just works..
Using a PC on the other hand is a roal pain in the A$$ for this noob..
Alright... I have dealt with this years ago and am now dealing with this frustration again with complete new hardware.
