It does look great indeed, and with less than 3.25ms (240p/480i source) or 1.6ms (480p source)! Its the real deal.jjm028 wrote:So I checked out the 540p from the tink5x / component converter on my 30-HS420, and I was super duper impressed. I had never even considered playing 240p on this tv before that, but it looked and played awesome.
This got me thinking about setting up a custom 540p resolution on my Mister. After a lot of digging, I finally got a modeline that held sync. It is a 1920x540 resolution. What's strange is that the aspect ratio of the menu core is perfect, but console cores are basically 1/2 of their proper width ... I worked around this by making a 8:3 custom aspect ratio to stretch it back out. If anyone has any experience with 540p from the Mister's HDMI, definitely let me know. Hopefully 540p gains some popularity in the future and we wont have to do this technical stuff to have native resolution on these screens haha.
So you got 540p working via HDMI? Do you mind posting the working modeline here? Maybe Mike can look at the differences in his timings in the current 540p RT5X mode vs what you have and possibly move to those timings in a later update. It could potentially eliminate the need for the component converter that seems to be almost universally required to get the mode working on these Sony HD CRTs at this time.
The output res of the TS doesnt matter to the TV as far as lag is concerned, because you arent feeding the TV with the TS. You are feeding either the RT5X or your Extron, and either of them have to feed the TV either 1080i or 540p for zero lag mode (with HDPT=0). I've already tested a TS feeding an RT5X, feeding the TV 540p in zero lag mode, the results are below. You can change the output res on the TS to anything you want, if the RT5X can accept it, it will convert to 540p at its output. The lag differences seen there are processing differences in the RT5X for different input resolutions. 480p is the fastest followed by 480i and 240p.nes.og wrote: I’ll compare lag to the RT5X at 540P but was wondering if the lack of 540P on the Time Slueth will skew the results? I know that 540P is 1080i but the same is true of 240P and 480i yet the Time Slueth has a 240P option.
