>>I've used an HTPC (1.3 Pentium III, Radeon 8500, Power DVD) with a multiscan CRT front projector, so I didn't have the upconverting limitation.

How are you processing audio? My MB Soyo Dragan Ultra's digital passthru' is limited to two channel. Tried its built in 6 channel processor, it sucks.

8500's autodetection of the monitor thru' DVI is limiting me. Havent played around for a couple of weeks now. Need to figure out a way to override radeon detection.

>>Despite that, I had problems with horizontal and vertical lines outside the image area, excessive flicker (even at 72hz), artificial color, picture grain, average sound, etc.

Can your projector do 72Hz? It might be converting it into 30 or 60Hz and generating artifacts in the process.
