I've been trying to see what my G400Max can do compared to my progressive DVD player. Based on the archives here, it seems the G400 was a popular HTPC card way back when (a couple years ago).
I have a wide variety of custom resolutions set up that work just fine w/my 16x9 HDTV, using the G400Max's primary output (DVDMax disabled). But now I've run into this really weird issue:
At all of the non-4x3 (ie. 16x9) resolutions that enable an overlay (which means up to 1584x540p for me at least), I get these weird purple-ish pixels infecting the 50% gray picture areas, eg. I see this corruption over the entire pattern for AVIA's TVL and sharpness patterns which have 50% gray backgrounds. But with AVIA's vertical gray ramp pattern I see near sold purple-ish horizontal line (and corresponding vertical line with horizontal gray ramp). This is how I know the corruption occurs in exact 50% gray areas of the picture.
I don't see any mention of this in the archives here, and I know I saw some posts from G400/16x9 HDTV owners in there. Has anyone ever heard of this? My inquiry to Matrox about this just ended abruptly with something about G400 not supporting 16x9 resolutions...
Thanks,
Steve
