Hi all!
I'm curious as to how everyone has their screens set up, if using an HTPC. With a 4:3 digital projector there are many different options to use a 16:9 screen, so how do you have yours aligned?
1. Using a 4:3 screen.
2. Top-aligned 16:9 screen and 4:3 Windows desktop. Windows spills off the screen and on to the wall. YxY used to shift image up.
3. Centered 16:9 screen and 4:3 Windows desktop. Windows spills off the screen and onto the wall.
4. Bottom-aligned 16:9 screen and 4:3 Windows desktop. Windows spills off the screen. YxY used to shift image down.
5. 16:9 screen and 16:9 Windows desktop. Either using DILARD to modify projector settings to take a 16:9 resolution, or increasing the front & back porch setttings to "pad" the 16:9 resolution so the projector sees 4:3.
6. 16:9 screen and anamorphic lens.
I think that covers all the cases. If there's a different layout which you use, let me know.
Cheers!
Dave.
