      Yep, and my (and everyone elses)$1000 Sony Bravia is still stuck at 2x.

        I’m having difficulty determining whether my newly acquired Sony KDL-55W802A has the necessary PC capability/resolutions described here. The manual does list “HDMI PC Input” but I’m not sure if that qualifies it for this solution.

        Spec Sheet
        PC Connectivity and Signal Info

        The listed PC video input signals are:

        640 x 480, 31.5 kHz/60 Hz
        800 x 600, 37.9 kHz/60 Hz
        1024 x 768, 48.4 kHz/60 Hz
        1280 x 768, 47.4 kHz/60 Hz and 47.8 kHz/60 Hz
        1360 x 768, 47.7 kHz/60 Hz
        1280 x 1024, 64.0 kHz/60 Hz (Full HD model only)
        1920 x 1080, 67.5 kHz/60 Hz (Full HD model only)*

        Currently, only 2x works, with default OSSC settings. 3x, 4x and 5x all supply audio but no video signal. 3x displays “Unsupported Signal” but 4x and 5x are just blank/cycling(unless I switch to TX Mode: DVI, then I get “Unsupported Signal”), which I thought may be a good sign.

        I’ve attempted the solution in the OP with no success, but I’m unsure if I am missing part of the equation. For an SNES/Genesis to send 3x/4x/5x, does the Adv. timing need to be 960×240/1280×240/1536×240 respectively? Would they all require adjustment to 256 V. Active and V. backporch reduction? I’ve tried it in AND out of TX mode DVI/HDMI with no success.

        Fundimentally, I guess I am just not quite understanding why the TV isn’t recognizing the 3x/4x/5x signals if all they’re doing is integer multiplying. If it can recognize a line doubled signal, shouldn’t any 1080p device be able to accept a line tripled/quadrupled/quintupled signal, as well? Is it just a matter of finding the correct Sampling/Timing configuration or is it a hardware issue?

        I appreciate everyone’s efforts to broaden compatibility and educate the end-user. If you have any suggestions, I’d be happy to hear them.

          I have a really embarrassing TV to add. People with 4k TVs.. psh.

          Westinghouse DWM42F2G1 Yeah dude, 42″ 1080p LCD for $75 from Goodwill…. It weighs about 4 lbs…. Boosh.

          Anyway.

          Consoles tested:
          NTSC-U SNES 1chip
          Sega Genesis VA0

          Compatible with:
          2x
          3x
          4x           (unfortunately treated as wide-screen and non-adjustable via OSD with the very limited aspect ratio selections)

          5x is not compatible.

          I’m actually impressed it’s as capable as it is, but I would not recommend spending more than $75 on this TV. Just FYI.

            nm=profile&nk=3423 <—- Is that me?

            I’d be happy to attempt the DIY kit if my position in the wait list will potentially put me in late 2017. Is there any way to get a guess-timation on that?

            In that regard, I’ve been watching for more Advanced DIY Parts Kits to show up, any ETA on them?
