Horizontal lines on full screen

[redfordxx]

Hi,

I have 1920x1200 LCD and following problem:

When I play video on full screen, thin white horizontal lines appear (as a disturbance), especially on edges (not edges of the screen, but edges in the motion picture). When I make it a little smaller, it's OK. It happens with MPC, BSP, VLC, PAL, SDTV, HDTV. I think before last reinstall it was w/o problems.

Any idea?

Thanx

It is a dell widescreen? Can you play any video widescreen?

Dells have a banding problem with 20in and above. Nothing you can other then send it back if indeed you have a Dell widescreen.

LCDs do not handle the high resolutions so well. I think the technology is still to new.

Yes it is dell.

I can play video videscreen. Sometimes, when I switch to fullscreen, BSPlayer fits incorectly the video size and I have to reduce the size, so that I have no cropping, but then it fits OK.

Well, can this be a reason for claiming? I thought more, that is some software or drivers issue...

Hi,

I am once more here with the same topic. I gathered different samlpes and trailers to made some observations:

The horizontal lines appear only on videos with resolution 1080i or 1080p (not necessarily full height), one sample 1440x816 anamorphic.
But it is only when I have it not downsized and on screen resolution 1920x1200. When I change the screen resolution to e.g. 1920x1080, it's OK.
When I set in BSPlayer Internal renderer DirectDraw surface it's OK. But sometimes it need more CPU power than I have in the case (in that respect overlay is better). All other rendering methods have the white horizontal lines.

Does that help to guess the reason?

I think you mean overscan. Some players have an option to crop overscan (such as NVIDIA nStant Media).

I am sorry but I don't see your point...

I have a Dell 2405fpw, I just tested a 1080i video and i get a grey thin bar at the bottom of the screen only, i dont get anything on any of the images. This was with an mpeg2 stream using powerdvd 7 codec.

UofC: isnt the dell banding issue with the xx07fpw models, and only in specific modes?

It's probably decoding it as 1088, so it's not the monitor at all. Very annoying how broken some players are. You can fix that with ffdshow post-processing if it bothers you, and possibly in powerdvd too.

Why are you telling that some players crop overscan?
I don't need to crop, i need to get rid of the lines which are 1 pixel thin.
