Viewing Pictures on my 622

[INHUMANITY]

Hi all,

My 622 was installed today and I'm still :eek2: at the picture quality... That aside I have a question regarding viewing pictures on the unit.

I copied over about 100 images to the 622 without any problems. I'm able to view them, but it seems that the 622 is scaling them down to what looks like a 4:3 image.

It doesn't do a really good job of the image reduction as you can see the jaggies in the image too.

My question: Is there anyway I can have the 622 expand the size of the image on the screen? I already tried using the */Mode button in an attempt to change the AR, but that doesn't work on images.

I tried using the zoom function on my LCD, but it obviously just takes the jaggies the 622 is giving me and amplifies that.

So far I'm loving the 622. Absolutely gorgeous picture via HDMI!

I also have S-Video and Component hooked up for comparision. The difference between S-Video/Component and HDMI is night and day.

It's pretty darned close with Component and HDMI, but HDMI does have a slight advantage in reproducint the flesh tones.

I never found a way to make uploaded pictures look very nice. I just do not use this feature any longer. Still love the 622, but this is not a strong point for it.

You cannot get the pictures to fill the screen. Something I wish they would do and i am not sure if it is a limitation of the machine or a design choice...

Definitely not the best feature of the 622. My Wii does a better job at viewing pictures and doing a slide show.

Eh, no biggie. I figured I'd ask.

I have my PC connected to my screen via RGB, so that's good enough for now.

I've had good success making DVD based slideshows. Try Microsoft Photo Story. It's free and lets you add music/transitions/zooms, etc. You'll have to spring for $20 for a DVD burner add-on, but the slideshows look great, even projected on a big screen. Haven't tried one on my new Samsung yet, so don't know if the 420i picture will look up sampled or not.
