Hey all, I am new to the crt thing. I came over from digital and have always wanted a crt machine. So, I am glad that I got one at a great price. I got my machine from Curt. It has the Moome 1st generation card in it. I am having problems getting it to sync at 1080 p at 60hz. I have three different devices that have HDMI. The first one is a Sony Blu-ray player. Model DB-s350. When it gets put on there, it tries to lock on. I hear one of the relays clicking on and off. But, it dosen't manage to get synced up. Then I try my HD-DVD player. With it, I get some kind of weird noise, sounds like a computer projector trying to sync to a signal that's out of it's range. Then, it will have the dark messed up image and then I will get an error that says, Hi frequency out of range. Projector is going to shut down. So, then it will turn itself off. On the PS3 when I try to get it to sync I make sure that the 24fps is turned off. When it comes on, It will sync at 480, 720 but the images looks like someone is jerking the projector a little. Then, when I put it on 1080p the red & blue tubes go dim and have nothing displayed on their faces. The green tube is REAL bright and has everything displayed on it's face. Now, I can run 1080I just fine on the component cables. Before Curt shipped the machine he said that he ran it fine on 1080p. But, when I got it, it goes crazy. We think that the card might have been damaged in shipment. Sometimes on the component cable I have to thump the green lead or, it will loose sync. as well. Also, want to point out that the cable is a 25 ft run. I don't know if that is a problem or not. I have seen some sites that say you are supposed to stop at 15 feet. Then I have seen other sites that say 25 feet is fine. I was wondering if any of you NEC guys have ran into this issue and how did you fix it? Any help would certainly be appreciated!! Very Happy

Someone else can chime in to dispute this but from what I've tried and read from others, there is no way to run 1080p directly from an HDMI source (or any other input format) on an NEC without sync problems that result in edge foldover and banding. The only way for non HTPC devices is to use a scaler with video timing adjustments such as a DVDO VP50 or similar.

Another alternative is to use a HTPC and adjust the video timing with a program like PowerStrip to adjust porch settings. See this link for more.
