Banner Retention after "disabling" PIP

[redrobin]

Have you tried a different HDMI cable

Or, just for a test, a yellow video cable (don'tmind the very bad picture quality, it's just for testing this issue).
And/Or a scart-cable.

Thanks. I have tried now and no difference. I do not recall this happening before I updated to image 2.4 and now 3.0.

Re problem with remaining banner after stopping PIP.

Hi Guys I have now made some progress at last. I noticed that the banner may occur on any of the PIP edges so I moved the PIP box to the centre of the screen and went through the whole procedure of starting and stopping PIP again. NO BANNERS REMAINED!!!!! If I then move progressively closer to the edge of the screen eventually a banner is left when I am within approximately 3 inches of whichever screen edge.

I cannot wait to receive your hypothesis on this one!!

Well, I'm afraid you'll have to, as we have no clue

I am totally clueless on this one also. Do you think it is software driven? More important I can fix the problem empirically!!!! I talked to a mate with an Ultimo but is on Image Vers 2.3, he sees exactly the same issue.

What tv do you both have? Are they the same or different?

Could well be something to do with overscan and the way your tv handles it. Not likely, but could well be...

Have you another tv you can test on?

Thanks. It is a Samsung 51" Plasma TV with 3D. I will try a different TV to check. My friend has exactly the same TV. How would overscan influence matters at the edge but not in the centre of the screen? Have you tried moving the PIP to the edge of your screen to see if you can replicate the error? Strange issue for me!!

1) If you only experience this problem when PiP has been centred, there's no problem at all. After all a centred PiP is rather useless;
2) Surely you wouldn't want overscan enabled on any TV? After all, every TV-pixel to show 1.05 video pixel rather ruins the picture quality.

Thanks Rob The problem only occurs when the PIP is close to the edge of the TV screen, its' natural place. I noticed the problem is not there when the PIP is centred on the screen, an observation found in desperation! I do not have overscan on as default but feel this is a dead end thought anyway. Having found an empirical solution should help anybody else finding the same issue. Regds

I'm unsure that the TV could be a dead end. You and your friend have exactly the same TV and the same issue. Otherwise, lots of us have different TVs, and have to replicate this issue...

I've moved my picture right to the very edge, right to the centre, all over. Had no problems whatsoever... So, I would say it has got to be either your TV, or the way you've set it up?!

Have you got HDMI CEC enabled?!

Thanks again No idea myself what is causing the problem but will try a different TV when I can access the lounge with a spare TV. I have not enabled HDMI CEC. I have now updated to 3.0 Vers 282 to see if that alters anything. Could you let me know what is the latest driver date? Mine is 24/08/2012. Rgds

[Rob van der Does]

That's indeed the latest driver.
