Hi!

Then i was gone, but now itīs back.

And hard reset wont do nothing.

One other thing, every time o power on the ECP4100 i have to choose recall memory 0.
Cus 0 is the one i have done the convengace on.
Bu still a bit strange. the pj shows that r0 is loaded .
but still i have to press . source recall 0. to make it load .. every time... (not as bad as first problem but still... Smile

Your tubes are fine. It's not a tube problem. Hopefully someone familiar with ECPs will chime in.

I have not seen this before. Can you switch signal sources and see if the problem goes away?

What is your signal source?

My main sourec is My HTPC - DVI to - RGBHV cable and the resolution is 720p

I have tried this resolution at 60 Hz. 70Hz and 75hz.

And i have allso tried a PS2 - PAL Signal

Same results all the time.

I still cant get good geometry.

The height i found in the manual.. so that ok..

But the width? i think the image that is displayed is to small in width....

Test pattern # looks good on the tube.. but image diplayed from HTPC/PS2 is allways smaller.

Cant find the width set up on the manulars !! only via remote controll .. at 10 it is to small !!
itīs allmost 2 cm left.. i would understand if it was more like 0.5 cm

it more a geometry problem..
cant get a good 4:3 or a 16:9 image..
image quality display @ 720p looks really good !!!
Think i figured out convenge and aimed the tubes right Very Happy

Not like the convegance/or tube centering on the barco vision 600 ... hehe !! but good experience !!

Just remebered .. when i changed the settings on the utility menu, convegance got reseted.
i changed fron floor to roof mounted front projection.
After this 2 of the 3 darker part of the screen was removed..
So i only have the top one left (bottom one if it was floor before)

Thans for all the replys.

Hope to solve this soon.
