Sorry to bump up this thread.....
I am no novice in the basic 'theory' of AV entertainemnt but at the same time my knowledge isnt that deep, so sorry if my questiosn appear a bit wierd!
I have had my HD1 fitted about 18 months now and been impressed with the PQ though the bulb life is rather low for various reasons...
Anyway recently bought the Oppo and there has been discussion about 1:1 mapping with both flat screens and projectors.
Obviously I can see my PJ is accepting/receiving a 1080P but would like to know if my PJ is set to 1:1 mapping, or over/underscan?
Depending on my sources (V+, Arcam DV139, Oppo 83, HTPC) the picture seems to vary slightly in both size and placement on the screen - so any advice comments would be appreciated.
Also, what settings are people using? to be honest, playing witht he calibration discs when I first got my PJ, the picture didnt really need to appear to need tweaking.

Hi Adrian,
There is no 1:1 mapping setting with the HD1.
I am assuming though that as long as "masking" is set to off that this is essentially what you are getting.
I did not notice any issues with the Oppo 83 - but - because my screen is not of perfect dimensions I have the picture zoomed in a bit so it projects over the screen edges to get the height right.
I too have noticed the picture can have different dimensions with different sources (Sky for one) but am not sure why this is.
As for settings, I had a go a calibrating mine with a probe and software, but this will be room dependent and will change as the lamp ages, but from what I found the "middle" picture setting wasn't too far out from 65K. I think contrast and brightness may have been tweaked a notch or 2 also.
One thing that's definitely worth checking though is pixel alignment as I certainly had to tweak mine.
I found the best screen to use is in the hidden menu (press up, down, right, left, enter) it's a cross hatch but with separate red, blue and green segments so its easier to see alignment between the colours - give it a go.
Hope that helps...
