I am sorry if this question has been asked, and answered, several times ... but I cannot for the life of me find anything on this. The ATI patch, tweak, hate, love, flame, support threads are endless!
I am a newbie on the HTPC setup for the DVD software player. I previously used a DVDO, but after researching this forum I have made the move to HTPC. I am trying to figure out the ins and outs of the ATI tweaking and setup. My biggest question right now seems very basic to me, but it is the only topic I haven't seen any info on:
I have a VT540 that allows contrast and brightness control when the VGA port is used for RGB input (color / tint controls are available when other inputs are used). This makes sense to me, but my software DVD players, and DScaler, also have controls. Which controls do I manipulate?!?!? Do I set the pj to a 'default' setting and then tweak each of the software controls, using the test patterns ... or what?
Also, I have found good "basics of ATI player setup" threads and the dtvmax.com FAQ ... but is there a definitive reference for all Radeon tweaks and such? It is such a widely talked about subject but a lot of it overlaps and is hard to decipher what is obsolete! 0IRE patch, wandering control fixes, scoped settings, gamma settings (what is gamma, by the way!), etc.
Thanks for the help!
