Watching Blu-ray Full Pixel/Dot by dot - Blu-ray Forum

Ultraviolet · 12-04-2007, 06:06 PM

A technical question, should i watch 1080P Blu-Ray discs on a standard anamorphic wide screen setting or dot by dot/full pixel? Which is best?

Blu-Ray has only one default settings... it does not have anamorphic or non-anamorphic settings.... everything should be in beautiful 1080x1920 resolution....

Anamorphic widescreen is something DVD used to encode 16:9 video in a 4:3 format. It's a technique that is completely unnecessary on Blu-ray, as they are encoded in 16:9 from the beginning.

If you have a display that can do 1:1 pixel-mapping like my Pioneer Elite PRO-FHD1, you should be watching your Blu-ray Discs in "Dot-by-Dot" mode every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

As Phane says, Blu-rays are in a 16:9 shaped dot by dot frame natively; while DVD encodes 16:9 and 4:3 video on a 3:2 (NTSC)/5:4 (PAL) frame

yea go dot by dot for watching your blu-rays but when you are watching regular tv turn onn the dot by dot because there is some stuff in the broadcasts that belong in the overscan that you don't want to see.

Reason i asked q originally is because dot by dot offers more image but i get an unsightly blue line right at the end of the image on right hand side of tv vertically, why is that?

Adjust your TV settings...you probably just need to center the picture. It might have been accidentally moved over to the left a few pixels.

Thanks for tip, hope it works.

When Plasma Tv is in dot by dot mode, screen position is not adjustable, have reset it in full but there was no move of picture. I did change default setting to movie in dot by dot and that got rid of line, but still under impression something wrong, will try orbiter which is used to get rid of screen burn to see if it makes a difference.

Try setting the TV to a mode where you could adjust the picture, then move it to the right a bit. Then switch it back to dot by dot and see if the line is gone.
