Hello. I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. I just upgraded from a Radeon 7500 to a Radeon 9600. I have a Panasonic CT-34WX50 widescreen HDTV. I connect exclusively to my TV though S-Video, but I upgraded in hopes of using ATI's component adaptor. Unfortunately, they are of out stock on those for the time being. So I connected my 9600 through S-Video and I noticed a few problems that I did not see with the 7500.
1) When I go to the Display Properties, choose Settings, and click on Advanced, the screen seems to blink or shake a few times before the Advanced Properties will come on the screen. Has anyone else noticed anything like this?
2) I guess my TV is using ID1 screen detection, and it's defaulting the cards signal to a zoomed in "wide" mode that I manually have to get out of each and every time the machine boots up, or if I turn off the TV and turn it back on. The 7500 never did this to my TV and I can't figure out why the 9600 does.
I realize these are probably obscure problems that very few people have encountered, but if anyone out there has and has thought of a solution I would love to know. None of these problems are show stoppers, they're just annoyances. Hopefully the component adaptor will be available soon, and I won't have to worry about problem 2. Has anyone used one of those adaptors to display in hi-def? Thanks everyone.
