|
|
The folks in the fury forum suggested I check with the G90 experts over here:
Anyone get the fury2 to work with the G90? I just got mine, and I’ve got lots of problems, both with using laptop HDMI output and PS3 output. If I use the HDFury in RGB mode I get a pretty nice image with my laptop background screen. As soon as I put white on the screen though (say IE or Notepad) and drag it around I start getting big regions of gray. If I maximize it the screen goes almost black. This happens at both 1080i and 1080p.
So I tried using the other mode on the fury instead, swapping the G90 to expect that format, and I got large vertical black bands (about a foot wide on my 8’ screen) near but not at the left side. With the PS3 I had similar issues. The screen would occasionally look OK (but not great) but when I tossed in Planet Earth on BluRay the display would dim or fade. In all cases I’ve got the power supply plugged into the HD-Fury2 and I’m running a 6’ cable to the monitor (straight up) for test purposes. Anyone got some magic they've used with the G90 to make this work? Or did I get a bad Fury unit?
Thanks for any advice.
Rick

Have you tried swaping cables?

Nope, but I will. I'll have to grab another HDMI to test with.

You might need to go into the G90 service menu "Input Setting" with the fury installed and set the "Clamp" to HP or H/C from auto. This should straighten out the picture if it is varying in brightness and getting weird bands of dark as scenes change.

Setting the clamp seems to have fixed it, at least with my laptop as input. I'll try and drive it from a PS3 this weekend to see what bluray looks like. Thanks for the help!

Don't feel that you're alone. I think most of us have been caught out at one time by this idiosyncracy of the G90. Thank goodness for sites like this.
