I am seeing these vertical squiggly lines in the image. It seems to have a cycle of 3 seconds- Squiggly, squiggly, clear. Squiggly, squiggly, clear and so on. I hadnt noticed this before. It doesnt matter if the dvd is playing or paused. Seems to have a cycle of 30hz- so I am wondering if its a grounding issue? These are not big wavy lines- and if you were not looking for them, you would miss them- however you will notice them on the credits rolling up.

I dont see it in the test pattern though- so I m assuming its not the projector- any thoughts ?

I am running 800p@71.93 shouldn't stress the projector at all. BD370 Blu-ray->Lumagen Vision DVI->HDFury.

Thanks,

Azi

I'd start with a good cleaning and reseating of the chips and card edges. Marquees are prone to chip and board creep from heating and cooling. (All socketed IC's are prone to this actually). You didn't say but did you try different cables?

If your sure it's not there with your external sources disconnected, then it has to be one of your external sources. Not much you can do there, other than do what Greg suggested, or get into modding.

Its the timings. This is when a Video Processor is needed. marquees are very picky and need a H sync of at least 1us. if its lower you'll get squiggly lines as the H retrace tries to catch up.

Increase your H sync to become 1us or longer and it should go away.
