I have a Sony KD-34XBR2 HDTV. I've been trying for two months to get either Windows or my HiPix to display high-def on the Sony via the ext. component input. I have both straight-thru DB15-to-Component cables (for the HiPix YPbPr mode) and a KeyDigital RGB-to-YPbPr converter (for VGA/RGB passthrough).
I can get 480p (HiPix), 640x480, and 858x480 to display ok. I can also get 1280x720 to display (using PowerStrip's pre-programmed "720p HDTV" mode) but it's massively overscanned, something. In other words, it syncs-up and is legible but a huge section of border is off-screen. I tried using the Powerstrip adjustments to shrink the screen but it loses sync well before I get it all to display.
So, now I'm wondering if the Sony is treating this "720p" signal as a 480p signal, causing the overscan?
Also, I've tried -- without success -- to get either 720p or 1080i(directly from the HiPix in YPbPr mode) or 1920x1080i (using the Powerstrip pre-programmed mode).
Again, this is making me think that the external component inputs only accept 480p. Does any one else know how to confirm or deny this?
Thank you!
