I have a HD projector which supports 1280x768 resolution and 1080i for HDTV.
It has DVI-I and HDMI inputs (amongst others).

If I display jpeg images (greater than 1280x768) directly from a computer
via the DVI-I input, the picture quality is excellent. If I display the same
images using Windows Media Center and a Linksys DMA-2200 MCE via the HDMI
input (1080i) the picture quality is degraded and looks distinctly 'soft'.
Satellite HDTV (1080i) pictures fed via HDMI are spectacular - they look as
good as the 1280x768 still images.

Why do images fed via the Windows Media Center/Extender appear 'soft'. Is
there some compression going on?


You didnt say if you were using MCE2005 or Vista. This is a known
"feature" of MCE2005. Its supposedly been fixed in Vista.
