"With regards to your enquiry, we believe this issue with the full screen VGA is caused by macro vision impregnated in the video sync (to stop copying). When the window task bar is on screen the sync is generated by the PC, hence no problem is experienced.
We would recommend using a HDMI connection rather than VGA in this case. HDMi, contains DRM (digital rights management) which prevents copying and the source knows is contacted to a monitor rather than a recording device so the picture is enabled."
What are your thoughts? Does this sound legit?
If that is the case, why doesn't it happen on my smaller 55inch TV too?
I have never heard of macrovision being applied to RGB VGA cables.
The benifit of using HDMI is you can get it to transport component video which will signifigantly reduce banding in the darker areas and will also have less quantisation errors.
It might be some form the dynamic range of the image changing and the TV trying to match, I had a projector that did that over VGA, put a dim photo up and it would then stretch the levels out to full scale making it wash out shadow details. There was some buryed option to turn it off and it was better, but it still had massive crush at the white end when using VGA.
As for the seller saying their DVI to HDMI cable wont work for computer to tv, probably sick of people putting it into a PC outputting PC resolutions into a TV that doesnt want to take them calling the cable faulty.
