InMatrix heeft een handig artikel online gezet over het optimaliseren van je TV-Output die je wellicht aan je videokaart hebt hangen. Het artikel richt zich vooral op de BT869/BT868 chipset zoals die meestal gebruikt wordt voor nVidia-based kaarten. Hieronder een stukkie over AutoZoom:
Our next problem is that once the TV and Monitor resolution are set to a 1:1 ratio, we get massive overscan, and chunks of the desktop is not displayed. This prevents us from setting our video player to a full-screen mode as the screen would be truncated.
To solve this issue, I wrote a special program called AutoZoom. This program allows you to list a window, then set it's width, height and an offset from the top left position of the screen.
Using AutoZoom you can align the displayed video image so it matches exactly to the visible portion of the desktop. Using this feature, you can practically eliminate overscanning.
An additional benefit of this is, that most Display Adaptors use Bilinear or Anisotropic scaling of video so the resulting scaled video has far less scaling artifacts and the image quality can even rival professional DVD decoders, especially for Anamorphic DVD titles.
