I have had it hooked up with two different cables and I get the same results. Just to be safe I also hooked up a DVD player using the same cable. Same exact model of DVD player that's already on my home theater. So I was able to switch back and forth between the two inputs and could see no difference. Here's a couple pictures connected to the FX5200. 1) Using VGA cable connected to projector: http://www.obrien-pifer.com/nvidia/vga.jpg 2) Using SVideo connected to projector: http://www.obrien-pifer.com/nvidia/svideo.jpg So, am I missing settings somewhere or do I possibly have a bad card? maybe I should contact support? Also thanks for the pointer to Jarod's site. Completely missed that section. I haven't tested to see if the overscan settings stick on next login.
