CRT projectors and RPTVs the best choice is more involved depends on tube size focus phosphor spot size and video bandwidth For CRT projectors some suggested starting points based on tube size are 720p for 7 inch 840p for 8 inch and 960p for 9 inch Use the instructions in the Installation Commands section to select the appropriate resolution High definition direct view and rear projection televisions typically support 480p and 10801 Some also support 540p or 720p If 720p is supported it is the recommended resolution because 1080i suffers from display interlace artifacts that reduce the perceived vertical resolution to roughly the same as 720p provides Since the output is over sampled horizontally 720p provides nearly equivalent perceived vertical and horizontal resolution as 10801 and it eliminates interlaced display artifacts A vertical refresh rate of 59 94 Hertz works well for NTSC and PAL M material For PAL except PAL M and SECAM 50 Hertz generally provides the best picture Note that the selected rate must be supported by the display at the selected vertical resolution Note The maximum resolution depends on the vertical rate the output aspect ratio and on whether the output size is reduced from factory defaults The software attempts to prevent illegal combinations of resolution vertical rate and aspect ratio but given that there are millions of combinations not all cases could be checked 2004 2006 Lumagen
