Dot by dot vs full aspect ratio7/6/2023 I'm not sure if the problem is caused by my PS3 or the XBR4 though. This also seems to indicate that the vertical direction is not exactly 1:1. Does this mean I'm not seeing the whole screen at the bottom?Īlso, looking at the black and white alternating lines, the vertical ones at the thinnest become a perfect 1-pixel wide bars (I see three perfect white bars, then it starts getting fuzzy) but the horizontal ones are a little fuzzy when they are the thinnest (they don't become perfect 1-pixel high bars). For the top, I see 2 white pixels right above the two triangles facing up (the ones just inside the "1:1" labels), but the corresponding triangles at the bottom don't have the white pixels below them. The Pioneer test pattern has a ruler on the right side, I could see that the edge of the display was at about the "5" so I think it had about 5% overscan in that mode.īy the way, what exactly do I need "to look for" on the Sony 7669 pattern? The triangles labeled "16:9" and "1.78" at the 4 corners seem to have a 1-pixel wide vertical bar attached to them and I can see them on both sides, so I think the width is fine. If you know what to look for, you probably can check with the Sony 7669 resolution pattern. diode (QLED) is one type of monitor that uses quantum dot technology. To check if it's doing 1:1 you have to use special resolution patterns (like 1 pixel checkerboards, or one pixel tall or wide horizontal or vertical alternating black and white resolution lines.) An LED or IPS monitor (see Display Types section) with Full HD resolution works. Now it just stays on the Dot by Dot mode.ĭoesn't hurt to give each mode a try when playing various sources and choose the best looking one. I don't really mess with all of the other settings except the colors & brightness. I think the Dot by Dot mode looks the best. Based on the manual and the equipment I'm using, I should be using the "Dot by Dot" mode.right? Then again I sometimes think the PQ looks better when set to "Dot by Dot". However when I set it to "Dot by Dot" the Aspect ratio becomes smaller, especially with 2.35.1 and 2.40.1 movies (I get about an inch more of black band on the top and bottom of the screen) However I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me or whether it's all psychological, but sometimes I think the PQ is equal to the PQ when set to "Stretch" mode. When I set my LCD to "Stretch" mode I tend to get a slightly bigger picture allowing me to maximize my screen size and the PQ seems to be pretty good. Stretch Mode (Manual definition): Suitable for viewing widescreen 1.78:1 aspect ratio programs, stretch mode will show very thin black lines on the top and bottom of the screen:ĭot by Dot (Manual definition): Detects the resolution of the signal and displays an image with the same number of pixels on the screen. These are the two view modes that I'm considering watching my BD movies. For monitors and displays, DPI is scrapped in favor of PPI (. I have a question for the home theater experts out there. DPI (dots per inch) indicates the number of dots found within a one-inch line of a scan or print.
