Unless somebody can get on TrainerDave, P50 owners are in for a big, BAD, Surprise.
It is IMPOSSIBLE, once again, to enter via DVI into the Fuji natively at 1365 x 768 and get a pixel for pixel image. It's even worse than that. The Fuji will accept the rate and will sync up with it, but there will be a black border on both sides or possibly on all 4 sides, of about 1/2 inch of NOTHING, no signal at all.
This is terrible because it not only doesn't give you true dot for dot pixel mapping, it will eventually cause irrepairable burn in that will be very visible in very little time. So if you ever sell the unit or view anything other than DVI scaled material, you will see discoloration on the outer 1/2 inch of the set. This applies to HD content as well as SD content, or in other words, EVERYTHING that is viewed through DVI.
The issue is the software in the Fuji. It senses that 1365 x 768 is a PC signal and not a video signal. This is a problem that occured on the very first generation of Pioneer plasmas, but has since been corrected in all later versions.
There is only one solution to this issue, it will not come in the form of some DVI Blaster or gimmick to fool the panel. We all must get together as P50 owners and convince Fujitsu, or perhaps we can start with TrainerDave, that not all native DVI signals should be received as PC signals. If Fuji offers a simple firmware fix for those of us that complain, we can install it via a PC thru the communications port on the bottom of the panel. It is a VERY simple fix for them. They do not need to change anything in Japan, they can continue to ship it with the same firmware to the rest of the world. But, for those of us that need to send VIDEO via DVI natively, they should offer us a solution to correct the problem.
Let the rants begin.
