Thanks giZZe I'll try a bunch of experiments. And thanks for the settings.

I've read a ton on DVDO and my impression is not to get to hung up on the test patterns. They are extreme cases and it may trigger some algorithm erroneously in the TV. They are a very useful tool though.

I have the DVDO HD.

And hooked up DVI and VGA.

Even though 1 test pattern (checker board) does look better in VGA I think other patterns look better on 1080i. Moving bar was very smooth in 1080i and jerky on VGA. But I have not tried your settings yet. I will though.

I don't have Duncan's "Easy SDI Install" cable yet, should have it wednesday.

But already I can see an improvement using AVIA off the component output of the 598. Can't wait to see what it does with the SDI.

By the way I got the DVDO as an open box deal. Turns out the only box that was open was the SDI module (and it was still sealed in the static bag). The main unit was factory sealed. $675.00 !!!

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
