Default FW 325: GUI Font hard to read in 720p

Hello all

This has been present since I bought my NTVs in December.

When I have the Display Mode set to 720p (Native Resolution for my TV) the GUI Font does not look right, i.e. the verticals of letters are very thin but the horizontals look alright.

This makes reading the text uncomfortable.

Since my TV (Panasonic Viera TX-L32X20B) supports 1080p24 I have the Display Mode set to that and the text is much clearer and easier to read.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Have you tried any of the other display fonts? I think there is 3 you can choose from.

Hello again

I have had a look and the only reference I can find to Fonts is the Display Font setting, however, this only lets you change the Font Table not the actual Font.

Am I missing something here?

It is not that important since it is very readable in 1080p24.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Hello again

Muzicman, you were right.

I have now set the Font to 'Universal' and it is much better in 720p.

Thanks

Kevin

Ha ha try 480i That's what I have since I use it with an outboard video processor. The GUI was obviously designed with 1080P in mind. My Oppo DVD menu was much better looking in 480i mode.
