HP PL5060N Plasma HDTV

I have taken my plasma tv off of its wall mount and would like to use the TV stand. However, i am missing one of the TV stand mounts which attach to the back of the television. A picture of what I am looking for is on Page 8 of my User's Manual. I cannot find the spare part number or if there is one i can order so that I can move my TV to the TV stand.
Thanks in advance if you can let me know this part number.
Bill

Hi, sorry but we no longer supply that part (spare part# 109360-HS, Stand support bracket set (2) NO LONGER SUPPLIED).
See our HP PartSurfer information for additional lookup only part numbers data for product EK430AA. Hope this helps.
Thanks,

HP PL4260N 42'' Plasma HDTV

Hello all:
Last night something very strange happened to our television. I was watching a show, and then I left the room for a moment-- when I came back, the picture was severely distorted. The audio is still crystal clear, but the screen looks like someone painted the edges blotchily with black paint and then dimmed the rest. That's a crappy description, I acknowledge, but I don't know how best to explain.
Poking around the web, I've read that this model of TV sometimes has issues with something called the "y sustain"-- could this be the source of my problem?
For reference, the screen looks like this with the white wash on:

I have a blurred picture like this link below. Could you tell me the board replacement or component failure.

What's best for video output to plasma HDTV?

I'm thinking of hooking my 15' MBP up to my Samsung Plasma HDTV. The TV has input options including VGA, DVI, and HDMI.
Since I'll have to go purchase the necessary cables and/or adapters to make this work, I was curious to know which option would give me the best video quality. Or is there a difference?
What's the best?

VGA is an analog video format. You'd be degrading your signal from digital out to analog, then your TV would likely reconvert it to digital for display on the plasma. That's definitely not the way to go.
As for the DVI vs HDMI they're both digital transport. I am not totally certain but I believe for digital video the HDMI is just a higher density tighter pack of wires than DVI (other than audio but that's irrelevant here) so it the DVI vs HDMI should be equivalent quality.
I'd just plug the DVI out from the MacBook Pro into the DVI input of the TV. The cable will cost a mint (maybe like $50). I heard through someone that Apple is carrying low cost cables, but I haven't checked it out yet. I'll step back to hear someone who knows more comment more on the DVI vs HDMI and this price part.

Hooking up MacBook to 50" Panasonic Plasma?

I am using the Apple mini-dvi to vga adapter along with a 6' vga cable to hook up my macbook to my 50" panasonic plasma (full specs: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Specifications-of-Panasonic-50-Plasma-HDTV-TH-50P Z700U/sem/rpsm/oid/175537/rpem/ccd/productDetailSpecification.do#tabs)
My problem is that only half (maybe even less) of the listed resolutions for the external display (TV) seem to work. None of them take up the entire screen, and none of them look good. Image is shifted, fuzzy, cropped on top and bottom. OS X does not list 1920x1080 as a supported resolution for the TV.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me? I don't really know what i'm doing here!

Hi Mike,
If I am not mistaken apple stated that macbook support up to 23" external lcd using 1440 x 900 resolution.
Some user managed to go over 23" and slightly higher resolution. But if the screen doesn't run on its native resolution it will become fuzzy as you described earlier.
Try mini dvi to dvi and get one of the dvi to hdmi adapter like this http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=3570, and you might get some luck.
Good Luck.
Do consult your panasonic or circuit city guy before you decided to give mini dvi to dvi with adapter a shot.

MBP to HDTV won't work - mini displayport to dvi - belkin dvi to hdmi

Hey, I'm trying to get my laptop hooked up to my tv, using the apple mini displayport to DVI -> belkin DVI to HDMI cable setup (as recommended by the dude int eh apple store - which i knew and planned on doing anyway :P).
anyway, when i first plugged it in to the tv in my hotel room it worked, 1080p, then stopped .. then randomly worked again after a few ties. Once I got home i hooked it up to my sharp aquos 42 and worked fine, then after it was unplugged and tried to get it working again, it basically just.. wouldn't - i don't get a picture/signal on the tv, no options in the display cp , nor does the screen go blue when it normally finds a monitor/tv. i've tried plugging it in both ends, restarting, turning tv off/on, everything to no avail. I know the dvi-hdmi cable works, used it from a windows desktop to make sure. the mini displayport to DVI works for DVI 100% of the time into one of my monitors.
as mentioned it had worked at first on and off..., and now i cant get it working on my 1080p tv, nor the 720p one that's in my room, neither of them get a picture/signal; no options in display control panel either, or the quick display flash to blue. Furthermore, sometimes when unplugging the dvi cable from the tv i get the laptop screen flash, as when it picks the device up initially.
I never got my emailed invoice from apple when I bought the cables in in SF during macworld so I cant just return it to apple I'm sure.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated, please help this is making me go crazy... worked and now nothing no matter what i try. Oh, also tried on another, new user to see if it was a weird setting that got saved.
mbp running 10.6.2

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Get a Samsung HDTV and ATV or wait for the latest model?

A newbie to HDTV, video and ATV.
I have almost decided to buy the Samsung 50" plasma HDTV PN50A650. But have discovered that Samsung has a new model PN50A760 with added capabilities for playing video and wireless networking.
Connectivity is an issue to me. Spending all the green on a HDTV, I do not want it to be obsolete in 4 years. What if I get a digital camcorder? Or Apple introduces a flat-rate movie-rental scheme? My options:
OPTION A) Wait a few months until the $500 premium for the new model drops.
Some excerpts for reviews of the latest 760 model:
"The 7 series can playback video content stored on a USB device while the 6 series are limited to images and audio."
(Naively, I thought that all HDTVs should be able to play back video.)
"The 7 Series can stream audio, video and pictures over your home network."
"The TV recognizes not only MP3 and JPEG files but also XviD and MPEG4 files to enjoy video playback."
"The TV can also reach out to your home network and play back photos, videos and music stored on networked computers. You'll need to install special software, included with the TV, onto your PC." This could be some very basic software. Suitable for Macs?
"While this feature seems pretty cool, it's not as good as similar functionality built into a PS3 or an Xbox 360, let alone that of a dedicated network media streamer like Apple TV. Despite being billed as DLNA-compliant, the TV won't play nice with DLNA server software like Windows Media Player 11 or TVersity, so you're stuck with the included proprietary software. Samsung's software is basic..." (Compatibility with Macs?)
OPTION B) Buy the older model and then, add ATV. The total cost will be less and I think, the video playback (through my iMac?) and networking capabilities (2Wire Wi-Fi) will be much better. But I see there have been problems between ATV and Samsung HDTV.
Isn't the combo with ATV a much more capable and flexible (and cheaper) long-term solution? Which Samsung is unlikely to match?
Thanks for your valuable advice! (Urgent for the X-Mas season!)

Winston, I think you're missing my points:
1) If you're interested in a device for watching HD video, then you can compare the AppleTV and Blu-Ray. You then have to look at what other features they provide, or don't provide as the case may be, and decide. I was just giving my opinion on an alternative.
2) There was no detailed information given as to what the streaming capabilities were and so I was giving my opinion again.
To say that there is little difference quality wise between current HD broadcasts (even if some are 1440x1080i) and the maximum output of the AppleTV at 1280x720 shows a total lack of experience on your part of watching HD broadcasts on a TV capable of 1920x1080, or a lack of appreciation of the better detail contained in the picture. It's like comparing AppleTV HD at 1280x720 with DVD PAL native resolution of 720x576 and saying there is little difference quality wise. But then if you look at the US market where 30fps is standard, the AppleTV cannot support resolutions higher than 960x540, and then you really are lowering the benefits of the AppleTV over DVD quality, and the difference between the AppleTV and HD broadcasts is even bigger.
I have compared video from HD broadcast at 1920x1080 with the same video converted down to 1280x720 on the AppleTV, and the loss of detail is noticeable, especially when watching on a 40" TV, not an uncommon size these days with them being used with games consoles. Before you comment, no it is nothing to do with how I convert them, there is just physically far fewer pixels available. I much prefer watching 1920x1080 through my Media PC than watching 1280x720 through my AppleTV.
Also, as we all know it happens, there is software available freely on the internet - no names will be mentioned - that allow the convertion of movies from DVD to a PC, and likewise from HD-DVD and Blu-Ray to a PC. So reality is that it's available now and with the cost of 1TB and 1.5TB HDDs so cheap, the potential for a 1920x1080 resolution video collection for playing on a 1920x1080 TV is already there. Saying it's not going to happen 'any time soon' is rediculous as it's already happening, albeit quietly, especially as talk of how to do such things is not allowed on this forum.
You keep using this phrase 'any time soon' without quantifying it. You use words like 'unlikely'. We live in a fast changing world. The world of televisions has changed dramatically in the last two years, whereby nearly all mid-priced TVs (both plasma and lcd) from about £800 GBP upwards now support native 1920x1080. Two years ago I paid over £1500 GBP for a 37" plasma supporting native 1024x720. You can now buy Sony OLED 11" TVs, which a couple of years ago were just being shown off as prototypes. In my opinion, OLED will blow away lcd and plasma tv sales within 5 years, and in my timescale, that is any time soon.
12 months ago I bought a blu-ray player for a PC, whilst people around me were going for hd-dvd. The format wars was predicted as not going to end 'any time soon' and no one could have forseen that within 6 months the whole blu-ray / hd-dvd argument would be over.
For your information, ABC in the US have been broadcasting in HD for over 10 years.
But as I keep saying Winston, these are my opinions. You're allowed yours and I'm allowed mine.

Streaming iPhoto to HD-Plasma Screen

Hi guys,
I love my new iMac G5...just switched from Windows XP.
I posted a question to the iDVD forum, but need more details. I would like to stream a slideshow I created in iPhoto to my plasma HDTV that is 2 rooms away. A guy in the iDVD forum suggested I connect a Mac Mini to the TV. Then I could stream from my G5 to the Mac Mini, and use the video out to the Plasma.
Does this sound plausable? I'd hate to spend $700 and end up with a technical nightmare.
Any thoughts?

You can connect your iMac G5 to your TV using the Apple Video Adapter M9109G/A.
The Mac mini would require the Apple DVI to Video Adapter M9267G/A.

How connect T61 with docking to HDTV

Hi,
I have a T61 Thinkpad laptop and trying to connect to my Panasonic Plasma HDTV.
I have my T61 connected to my dock which has a dvi output. I used a DVI to HDMI connector cable to connect to a female to female HDMI connector, which is connect to the HDMI cable from my HDTV. When I connect everything and turn it on, I get no video signal. I tried everything like hitting Fn + F7, and other F keys.. no video signal.
I upgraded the OS on my laptop to Windows 7.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Do you have any way to run dual headed? If you can get a monitor and the trouble TV running at the same time with the monitor as the primary display, you should be able to control Display Preferences for the TV from the monitor. If you select a working resolution for the TV while in such a configuration, the Mac should thereafter remember that setting so that when you restart with only the problem TV hooked up, you should get a useable resolution.

INSIGNIA 50" 1080p plasma picture problems

I purchased a INSIGNIA 50" 1080p plasma HDTV (NS-PDP50HD-09) last year, and it's plagued with this picture problem. What happens is the picture will split in half down the vertical middle, and the left half will bounce up and down one way, and the right half the opposite way. It's starting to get worse and worse. So i called support over a month ago (and it fell and still falls for a week under the 1 year manufacturer's warranty) and best buy sent a 3rd party company to look at it. Unfortunately they only work during weekdays, and close at around 5, so i had to take days off to have my tv serviced. I finally got it back, however it's been a week and the problem has resurfaced. I just called in again, and they said they will resend the company to look at it again. However, I am becoming frustrated with the situation, because the warranty end date is nearing, and although i was assured that there is a 90 day guaranty on it, i've paid for something is essentially broken. When it worked properly, i was very satisfied with the TV. Am i going to be stuck with a 75lb paper weight? I don't believe this model is manufactured anymore. Are there any options for me?

I've got the same exact problem with mine. It only does it when it's in one of the zoom modes. I had a tech check it out and he had fixed the problem but 3 months later the problem started up again. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from BB on if they're going to fix it or replace it.

IPhoto Wireless to my HDTV?

I have a fairly new iMac where my iPhoto library is located. In another room, about 30 feet away, is my 63" Samsung plasma HDTV. Our home has an Airport Extreme (AE) that we use to access the Internet, email, etc. Two iMacs and a MacBook Air connect to the AE. In addition, we've got a Sony '570 DVD player that is wireless enabled, and it connects to the AE to get stuff from Nexflix, Hulu, etc.
So, what I'd like to do is to play a slideshow of my iPhoto movies on the plasma TV. Can this be done? I know I can burn a DVD from selected iPhoto images, but that isn't really what I want to be doing.
Is there any way to do this slideshow across our network? I don't mind if I have to buy some type of relatively inexpensive wireless device if need be (Airport Express, etc.)
Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim,
You are correct that iTunes is the gateway through which music, movies, and pictures are accessed by the AppleTV. It runs on the same theory as iPods, iPhones, and iPads which also use iTunes as the organization point for what content they use. iTunes talks to all the various locations on your computer that have the afore mentioned media (think of it as a media hub). There is no need for iPhoto to talk directly to the AppleTV as iTunes does the work on it's behalf. Home sharing is not part of the equation (thats used for moving music between different computers). If you like, stop by a local Best Buy or Apple Retail Store and try before you buy to see how it works!
Happy shopping.

LCD or Plasma?

Hi,
I'm planning on purchasing a TV this hoiday season and am contemplating which type. The room I am planning to use dimly lit and I'm not certain which type (LCD, Plasma, HDTV, etc.) would be best. Your opinions and advice is welcome.
Thanks

Plasma tv's supposedly look better if your into referance quality images. They tend to have better color and blacker blacks. However they use more power and some have glare issues in bright rooms. They can also have burn in or ghosting issues, something to consider with gaming. You would have to have the same image on the screen for hours though from what I understand though.
LCDs tend to be a bit lighter I think, use less power and tend to look better in bright rooms as a general rule. They don't have as deep of blacks though because they are backlit. And they don't have burn in issues either which is why they make good gaming and computer monitors.
When properly set up I think both look great to be honest. I personally own a samsung plasma and love it. But if I think I would have been just as happy with an lcd at a decent price.
Now if you can afford it the new LED lcd tvs look absolutely AMAZING! I know I guy that owns his own appliance store and he brought one home to watch football at thanksgiving. This thing was awesome, bright with some of the deepest blacks I have ever seen on a flat screen tv. Not to mention they use very little power. The catch is it costs $3,000.
This is something you really need to go look at and weigh the options based on what you think looks good copared with what kind of deal you can get. If I could have saved $100 I would have had no problem bringing home an lcd tv instead of a plasma.

Insignia 50 inch plasma question

Just bought a Insignia® 50" Class / 1080p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV last saturday at your best buy located in Tulsa, OK . Picture and everything is amazing but I noticed if I leave it on the netflix screen for more then 10-20 minutes without moving or watch sportscenter or play xbox I get a partial burn in on the screen. It goes away after a little bit, but I was wondering if this was common with these plasma's if so I may want to return it and pay a bit more for a samsung or sony that is less likely to have this issue. If this is no concern and just normal please let me know as this is the first plasma I've owned over 32 inches. thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I know how you feel when you think the TV might not be "perfect". I have the Samsung 42" 450 series (720p) which is one of their low end plasmas. I've never left an image frozen on the screen for that period of time that you mentioned. Dark tickers on ESPN, yes, for hours and no issue. I can't speak for Insignia plasma TVs, but I understand that this type of image retention is relatively common particularly when the TV is new. I hear about break in periods to be more careful for a few weeks or so, but I don't know if it's true. Yeah, I would wait and see how it goes within your 30 days too. May not hurt to contact Insignia directly to see if they think it's normal too just to gain a little peace of mind. Although I haven't had this issue, that doesn't mean it couldn't happen on the Samsung or other plasmas as mentioned above about the Pannys. Best of luck.

FiOS TV: First Impressions of a New Customer

I’ve been a DirecTV customer for about 10 years. D* has been my primary provider except for 2 years when Dish Network was. I had switched to E* because D* had something like 12 HD channels while E* had the VOOM Network channels. I dropped E* like a hot potato when they dropped VOOM, and D* took the lead in HD content.
I’ve had DVRs for the past 10 years. I have a 55” Hitachi plasma HDTV, as well as HD DVD and Blu-ray players. So basically, I’m a well-educated consumer with lots of grounds for comparison.
I just had FiOS installed over the weekend. I switched for 3 reasons: to save money, get more HD content, and to get better HD quality. Here’s how I think that FiOS TV measures up to D* and E*:
HD Quality: D* and E* both have very good HD quality, E* probably a little better than D*. FiOS is better than both though; it simply has the best HDTV picture that I have seen – the colors are more vivid and the picture sharper. It is very near Blu-ray quality. It’s beautiful, really.
HD Content: I’m a big fan of premium movie channels; yes, good old fashioned linear movie channels. I use NetFlix too but sometimes I just want to channel surf. As I write this I’m watching “Shooter” with Mark Wahlberg. I never would have rented this movie, or watched it on demand, but it’s pretty good.
Including East and West Coast feeds, FiOS has 42 HD premium movie channels compared to 15 on D*, and for just $30/month. There’s no comparison really.
Pricing: Bundling my phone, Internet and TV with FiOS will save me $90/month for the first 3 months and $50/month for 9 months after that, for a total savings of approximately $720. Plus my Internet speed went from 3 mbps with DSL to 20 mbps with FiOS.
DVR: The best DVR that I’ve had was an UltimateTV DirecTV receiver that I bought 10 years ago – that box rocked, it had PIP, a great guide, and it was very responsive.
When I upgraded to HD I got the original DirecTivo – {please keep your posts courteous} No PIP, a super-slow guide, no video or audio when viewing the guide or menus, etc. This crappy D* HD DVR was part of my motivation for switching to E*.
Dish Network’s DVR was very good, almost as good as UltimateTV. It had PIP, a true 16:9 guide, and was easily extendable via a USB hard drive.
When I went back to D* I upgraded to their HR2* series DVR and it was pretty good, much better than the old DirecTivo. It had a big hard drive. The guide was OK, 4:3 stretched to 16:9. It was hard to change Favorite lists though. It was also a little sluggish, and it didn’t have PIP.
The best thing about FiOS’s DVR is that it is very responsive; when changing channels, the channels come up quickly. The DVR controls are also quick. I like the idea of the guide – different colors for different types of shows (red for movies, green for sports, etc.) but the non-stretched 4:3 aspect ratio is TERRIBLE; I don’t need a true 16:9 guide but at least stretch the 4:3 guide to 16:9!
The hard drive is tiny – only 20 hours of HD content. However, I’ve seen rumors on the Internet that Verizon will be adding external hard drive support in ’09.
No PIP currently but the box has DLB and technically will support PIP; Verizon just has to do the work on the software side. And they should!
Installation: The install went OK. The installer was an older guy and he was very good. The only bummer was that when another contractor previously ran the fiber to my house he cut it for some reason. So the installer had to call in his boss to splice it. I don’t know if this affects the quality or not but it freaks me out a little bit.
Customer service: Poor so far. I was supposed to have the Extreme HD package but only had the Essentials package when the box was activated. I had to talk to literally a dozen people before I got to someone who could actually help me. With D* and E* I usually got someone who could help right away, and they could push the signal immediately. With FiOS, it took hours to upgrade the service.
Every system has its warts and FiOS has a few. However, all in all FiOS seems like a darn good deal! IMHO, it’s a keeper!

Welcome to the forums!
I had DirecTV before I made the switch to Fios. We had plenty of issues with DirecTV that made my wife and I so frustrated that we had to switch to something else. DTVs hardware was a joke and we would always lose our satellite signal during your average rain shower, even though our sat signal always showed high 90s during clear days. Their DVRs were the worse and we found ourselves resetting them several times a week just because they frequently locked up or started behaving strangely.
Fios definitely has their issues, especially their DVR. I'm crossing my fingers that most of their issues will be resolved with this upcoming major firmware release. You should report back to us in a month and give us an update on your impressions after having Fios for a while.

Can I connect a 2006 Mac Mini 1.8 Ghz Intel to a Sony KDL40V5100 TV? How?

I have searched through endless discussions here with posts complaining about problems getting a Mac Mini to properly display on Sony and other brands of flat screen LCD and Plasma HDTVs in full 1080p resolution by hooking it up to the TV using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter cord hooked from the Mac Mini into an HDMI input on the TV. I want to buy a Sony KDL40V5100 40 inch LCD HDTV and get this connector to hook it into one of the TV's HDMI inputs, but have read so many posts here saying it won't work right. And in responses to these posts, I have read all the suggestions to fix these problems, ranging from using a third-party program to set the Mac to a specific resolution lower than the 1920 x 1080 (1080p) resolution to using both a mini-DVI to DVI connector and a DVI to HDMI to hook it into, which then could then be input into the TV, to changing display preferences on the Mac to dual or mirrored display status to setting the TV to a different input. I am very worried that if I buy this expensive TV, it will not display my Mac Mini properly on the Sony LCD TV. Is it GUARANTEED to work or not, and if yes, what settings need to be configured on which device(s)? I have also read posts here with complaints that the latest OS X "Leopard" update ruined the display's proper functioning status on the flat screen for many users. Can someone please help me get to the bottom of all this before I purchase the TV?

A 2006 mini doesn't use the mini-DVI port, so any issues with the mini-DVI adapter should be ignored. A DVI to HDMI cable will provide the correct signal just fine.
I see that your signature says you are running 10.4.11 (Tiger), so unless you've upgraded or plan to upgrade to 10.5 (Leopard) you need not consider the potential issue of resolutions not offered correctly in Leopard.
If you are concerned about the possible problems of the desktop displaying correctly, you should take your mini and the DVI to HDMI cable (which you will need to have in any case) to a store where the TV is being sold and ask to plug it in and test it. Any store worth shopping in will agree for a purchase that substantial. You can then see if overscan is handled correctly so the desktop will fit properly on the screen.

Stuttering or jittery playback on DVD, not in FCP

Hi, I wasn't sure exactly where to post this since I don't know if it's a DVD Studio Pro problem, a Compressor problem, or a FCP problem.
In a nutshell, the problem is this: our short film looks like it plays fine in our (color-calibrated) progressive-scan monitor. When we view it on a large LCD HDTV (a friend's newly-purchased Samsung), anything in motion looks stuttery (people, their shadows, any pans with the camera). Some things stutter worse than others, looks like it might have to do with areas of high contrast (people's shadows gliding across lit areas). We don't see these problems on our own CRT TV (a 15-year-old 20" SD tv).
The question is, does this have something to do with the samsung tv - its sharpness looks like it's set way too high - or maybe with how we encoded the DVD or even compressed the FCP sequence in the first place?
We've tried applying motion blur to some of the pans, we've tried antiflicker filters to some moving shots, but these don't seem to fix the stuttering problem (and since you can only see it once it's on DVD playing on the big lcd hdtv, it's hard to do lots of parameter fiddling).
Any ideas about what could be going on? I'm hoping this is a simple matter of some compressor or dvd studio setting, or maybe we need a special fcp filter for the moving shots.
There are 3-way color corrector filters on just about every clip, if that makes a difference.
It's never been interlaced at any stage of the game, so I don't think that will be a problem.
Shot with: Canon XH-A1 in 24p mode, 1/24 shutter speed, 16:9.
Software/hardware info:
Captured directly into FCP from the HDV tapes, sequence settings are the standard 23.98 1440x1080 ("anamorphic").
Monitor: Dell 2404WFP (ultrasharp lcd monitor), connected to a Matrox MXO to do the color calibration
Compressor settings: DVD 16:9 90 minutes "best", then I upped the data rate just a bit (I think it was 7.2 and now it's 7.4). Tried default GOP settings, then tried IBBP (or maybe that was the default) and IBP as well. Otherwise, no changes to defaults.
Final Cut Studio (version 1), latest updates (so FCP 5.1.4, etc.).
DVD Studio Pro settings - all defaults. Took compressor's .m2v and .ac files, added them to a track, burned a DVD (Verbatim DataLife) at 2x speed.
If it matters, we edit on either a MacBookPro (early 2008) or an iMac (2007) core2duo about 2.2GHz each, max memory (4GB and 3GB respectively).
Thanks in advance!
kyle

Just an edit to my post - I tried hooking up the matrox mxo to a CRT TV and it looked fine (well, no stuttering). The sequence apparently doesn't have stuttering in it to begin with. So it must have been the LCD HDTV we tested on.
Just got a chance tonight to test on another plasma hdtv (different model - panasonic) and there was a bit of stuttering there. So maybe the tv's sharpness is an issue? Both TVs that showed stuttering (a plasma and lcd hdtv) were set with very high sharpness values, and a CRT TV (pretty standard 20" model) and the samsung plasma HDTV (low sharpness setting) didn't show stuttering. So maybe we're at the mercy of sharpness settings, though I'm lost as to why that would cause this kind of effect.
Is that a probable cause of stuttery playback of motion shots - the sharpness setting of the TV?
