Epson 2045

[Mameriano]

i am new to the projector/theater world and I'm in the process of building my theater now. I have an Epson 2045 and I think the picture is great...... until there is fast paced action! It works perfectly for watching sitcoms but as soon as I watch a movie with a lot of action the picture seems to lag bad! It does it with a bluray player as well as with regular cable I can't seem to figure out what's going on!! Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance !

This may be an issue with using LCD in general, but you want to play with any motion enhancement features that are in the projector and turn them on/off to see how things respond. You also want to bypass any A/V receiver which may be between the source and the projector.

LCD is a very good product, but it is known for not having the same quality with faster motion as DLP models. This is something I have seen in the past, and is certainly not as much of an issue with my current DLP model. But, where the signal is going to hell is really hard to determine as there is so much in line which could be causing the blurriness.

Rare that I suggest this, but this is a good question on AVS Forum where there are a ton of owners of that specific model and they may be able to give you a far more specific answer.

Thank so for your input ! Why do I want to bypass the receiver ?? I thought going thru the receiver was the way to go!! Hmmm

For testing purposes only.

Many receivers have built in video processing. You want to bypass the receiver to ensure that the motion artifacts are not being introduced by weak video processing in the A/V receiver. It's one less potential issue during testing.

If you remove the receiver from the chain, and the problem goes away, then you need to find the setting in your receiver which allows for video to bypass the internal scaling. You lose on-screen graphics from the receiver (volume level feedback), but your image will be fixed.

If it doesn't change anything, then you know that's not introducing the issue and you can continue testing only using the projector settings.
