 Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 11:58 am Post subject: Poor Video Quality in Linux |
 |
|
Hello. I've been using Gentoo for a year or 2 and it's pretty great, and I'd prefer to use it, but I just have a pretty annoying problem.
Video quality in X11 looks like crap, here's an example, this does NOT appear in screen captures:
http://paulguy.co.uk/HDMI%20Problem%20Sony%20KDL-32XBR6.png
I've dealt with it for a while, and thought it was just my monitor not liking computer signals, since it did the same thing in XP and Vista; but I've recently installed Windows 7 and the problem doesn't occur at all.
My config:
gentoo linux amd64 (same thing happens in x86), all packages up to date.
nvidia geforce 9800GT 512MB running through binary "nvidia" kernel module/X11 driver, connected by a DVI to HDMI converter to:
a Sony KDL-32XBR6 32" LCD television
Resolution is 1920x1080p, 60Hz, native for this display.
I'm not an expert at linux or anything so be kind. :/ If you need any more information, I'll try my best to provide it. |

I have a similar setup, but have dual samsung monitors running at 3840x1200, 50Hz. Everything is great.
Did you use a specific program to generate those images? I would like to try it to see what I get.

| no specific program, sorry. I just drew them up with kolourpaint. I noticed specific patterns that made my monitor display the poorest images and recreated them. |

Have you tried a different kernel version? Different nvidia driver? Different monitor? Different cables?
I had a similar experience on one version of the nvidia driver...
I am guessing your hardware is in good shape...
I guess it could be a goofy xorg setting...

I've tried a handful of drivers old and new. Can't go back too far because of the more modern GPU. And yes I've tried different cables, but being digital that wouldn't be much of an issue.
Same deal with a few kernel versions.. 2.6.27 and 2.6.30 that I'm sure of.
Also, thanks for mentioning different monitors. This is where the oddness comes in; This does not happen on my older monitor. Linux shows a clear picture on my older LCD monitor. Same video card, also DVI. I've also had a different video card have the same issue - a geforce 8500GT - clear on one monitor but blurry on the new one.
I know it's not the monitor's fault entirely, though, because it displays a proper image in windows 7.
Also, to remind you, I am using the native resolution and refresh rate. |

| It's been about a week and nobody's given my any solutions or things to try or anything. This issue is quite annoying. I know it's possible for my computer to output a proper signal to my TV because Windows 7 looks crisp and clear, but I'd rather use Linux. So, *bump*. |

post your config (xorg and all nvidia related), maybe it will help us help you

I have the Use EDIDDpi false option there because there's a bug with X11 and my monitor where by default it'll make text 1 pixel tall, in case someone was wondering. Also, I'm not running a macintosh, I just have a macintosh keyboard. |

Post your xorg log.
It looks to me like the panel is scaling (a non-native resolution).

Well, it looks like chroma is being scaled, but the pixel "value" isn't. Like the card is sending YUV422 or something.

OK. Ignore the warnings about 24hz mode, I'm not using that. aaaand I've just been too lazy to fix that acpi error. |

So, I've done some more tests and the colorspace is definitely incorrect. It's sending half resolution chroma data. Now, I know the windows control panel has an option to select colorspace for nvidia cards, but I can't seem to find anything for linux. I looked on google and /usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver-blah/README.bz2 and could not find anything abou changing colorspace in linux; only Windows. So, am I just screwed to have blurry video in linux? This seems like a silly oversight considering the poor choice of default.
Also, I tried nv; same problem. |

Have you tested some diffrent value for dpi?
There is a manner to calculate the correct value but I don't remember how, sorry.

| The default DPI works well enough, right now. The monitor just sends incorrect EDID data to the video card or something, but that's beside the point. |

That might be a cause of the problems, depending on what the video card and driver thinks it is sending.
I think there's a way to tell X to ignore edid and use what's here instead, but I don't know offhand how to do this. Maybe someone can suggest something. |

Can you try this?
| Code: | | xdpyinfo | grep dimension |
| Code: | | xdpyinfo | grep resolution |
Found here, but there's a lot of threads about font and X.org on gentoo forums.

dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (650x366 millimeters)
yay projects # xdpyinfo | grep resolution

Seriously, it's not the resolution. I'm running at the native resolution. I'm not that retarded. |

| Did you try to connect it to a real display, without DVI to HDMI converter ? |

I had already said I tried other monitors and the problem didn't happen on them. And that thread seems to relate to vsync, which has little to do with this. I don't even use the 24hz mode.
EDIT: I noticed another diference. In linux: I got the standard TV controls for tint and sharpness and whatnot on my TV but in Windows 7, they're all greyed out except brightness, contrast and backlight. So there's definitely some difference bwtween how my video card is interfacing with my monitor in linux than in windows. I don't know much about DVI but this seems a bit suspect.
Another EDIT: I've skimmed over bits of the DVI and HDMI specifications and apparently there is support for YCrCb422, and that would make sense based on the quality of picture I'm getting; full resolution luminance signal but half resolution color. Now I need to figure out why the video card decides to send in that color space in linux and how to change that. |

sorry if I missed it, but does that happen with video only, or just viewing the picture too?

| Maybe my idea is nonsense but on my monitor i have a sharpness setting and when i set it to be not so sharp it gets a lot of blur. Have you checked yet if it is just a setting on your monitor? Maybe windows 7 has the ability to change your monitor settings and thats the reason why it looks good there. |

| Have you tried not having detailed settings in xorg.conf? My graphics card and monitor works better when X detects settings itself. |

TVStandard only seems to be meaningful to the analogue s-video/component output.
This happens for all imagery on the screen, including this firefox window and everything. I'm aware most videos are chroma-subsampled and would have this effect.
The monitor DOES have a sharpness setting, which if it's set to anything but min, produces white lines around everything and never provides any more details.
Also, I've done all kinds of things to my xorg.conf, even removing it entirely. |
