Thanks for pointing me to that thread!
I’ve tried tweaking through all the modes on my Philips to no avail. However, turns out that the Samsung does support 4x mode, as long as you use one of the optimized modes. No tweaking necessary!
On my Philips, PC mode does significantly improve the image. Problem here is that, whenever the game switches resolution, the tv will switch to wide screen when in PC mode. So I have no working solution for these games. Is there any way of making the OSSC output 2x in pillarboxed 16:9 to work around this?
(Speaking of res switching, I’ve gone through the Samsung service menu, changing various settings related to HDMI, but nothing improves or worsens the blackout time…)
Samsung LE40A567P2W
Saturn (japanese model 1), sync on csync
2x looks great out of the box
3x-5x – nothing with stock settings
Genesis, sync on csync
same as above
Now I was curious about how it would handle resolution switching compared to the framemeister. I tried Akumajou Dracula on Saturn and pressed pause – 8 seconds of black screen! This is with the OSSC connected straight to the tv via a DVI-D to HDMI cable.
I tried Vampire Killer on Genesis as well. This one switches res. several time during the intro. Same here, several secs of black screen.
Philips 32PFL7762D/12 (720p TV)
2x works out of the box
3x-5x gives me nothing
The 480p is quite ugly on this one. If I enable scanlines they are barely visible unless I crank them up really high, because they are blurred out.
Res. switching is handled better here. It flashes briefly with a green or blue screen but quickly resyncs.
@Harrumph: I am curious how you got 3x to work with your Philips. It seems to be a similar model to mine. I can’t even begin to guess what settings would be relevant for this…
