Got a new display device today, a projector! BenQ HT2150ST with 16ms of input lag showing a beautiful huge screen on my wall best of all as far as I can tell it is 100% OSSC compatible. Hooked up my SNES and ran 2x-5x with no issues whatsoever so far. I assume this is because projectors are like half computer monitor regarding non-standard inputs

Question, I went through the Line5x formats (1080p, 1600×1200, and 1920×1200) and they all seem to work and crop/display appropriately. It’s a 1080p projector. Does that mean 1600×1200 is working correctly or is it just screwing up the geometry to show the picture at that resolution? I honestly can’t tell so need an answer or a way to test

OK so another update for the Samsung KS8000 line of TVs now that I have been in my new place for awhile and have been able to play longer. Compatibility is still the same, as in being able to see the picture correctly, but the TV firmware is weird with the OSSC.

Line double mode all is good

Line triple mode results in occasional “pixel shifting”, I’m not sure what the correct term is. What happens is that every minute or two what looks like a horizontal line goes from the bottom to the top of the screen and the pixles all seem to shift left a little as the line passes them. That said, the exact same thing happens on my XRGB mini at 720p output, so my assumption is that this is some kind of weird artifact of 720p video on the 4K display

Line quadruple results in some odd aspect ratios (TV changes it, not me) and more importantly, for whatever reason, the TV disables game mode and grays out the option so you cannot select it. While you can make it look fine, at non-4k the input lag on this TV is around 113ms (vs 21ms in game mode per rtings) so this is kind of pointless. 4x will also cause the TV to label the input “PC” and if you change back to another multiplier you’ll have to open the TV input menu and change the input label back to “game console” to set game mode again

Line 5x will do game mode, but the given aspect ratio is noticeably wider than 4:3 once the TV is set correctly much like the 4x mode

Reporting an update for the Samsung KS8000 line (mine is the 55″) now that I heard about the new firmware. Works great now on 2x-5x, the only thing wrong as far as I can tell is SNES on 5x. 2-4x appears fine but 5x will temporarily lose sync once a minute or two.

Haven’t played for a long period of time so I’ll post another update if another problem comes up

Samsung KS8000 – Nothing

Went through each HDMI port and changed picture modes around, passthrough works of course but not even line doubling will show anything but a black screen for any console. Looks like I’m stuck with the Framemeister for the foreseeable future. Or go buy a new tv just for the OSSC and try to sell this one.
