No pro review here, but still extremely satisfied casual owner for 8 months now.I feed it mostly UHD Atmos from Vudu, and without Atmos from Netflix and Amazon on the Roku Premiere+. I have updated firmware of my 10.5k to v1.02 last night. It seems that the major improvements relate to HDR settings and should be very similar to the recent update of the 8300/9300/5040/6040 series. Two bright modes under HDR are now available for selection i.e. Auto (Bright) and Auto.Conducted some initial tests using the 4K Blue Planet II ch 2 'the deep' watched recently (settings digital cinema, auto bright, gamma 0), obviously the image is now brighter with more strength. I am quite happy with this update. Could you elaborate?If it is doing what the 5040 does, then it is allowing you to do HDR without the DCI P3 color filter in place.
RELEASE NOTES - 10/100 PRINT SERVER FIRMWARE VERSION 1.01.8 Failure to follow the instructions below may cause the firmware to be corrupted. While downloading new firmware to the Print Server, no other data should be sent to the printer. F200 Firmware v. Date/time setting added. 2 Asian languages added.

That way it is brighter, but displaying a smaller color space. JVC has this same feature in their current line (with or without filter). This method usually allows the projector to display around 87% of DCI color, but with more light output. Soy's VW285, VW385, VW675 and VW885 do not even have the DCI P3 color filter.
The Sony's are set up this way from the start.The DCI P3 color filter is still very much in place with Digital Cinema selected after the V1.02 update. You can very much see the difference with this enhanced color space, and you also hear the filter slide into and out of place.I?ve tried other Color Modes for HDR to increase brightness before the 1.02 update, but none come anywhere close to offering the P3 color space that is instantly evident when using Digital Cinema. Interestingly, the same 4K UHD content has a noticeably increased perceived resolution in Digital Cinema as compared to any of the other color modes - the images look razor sharp and crystal clear.My projector has been mounted and active since October 2017. It came with firmware 1.01 and already had an HDR?Auto Bright?
Mode that would select HDR1. However, I found this to be too dark for use with Digital Cinema before the 1.02 update. Now, this mode is a true thing of beauty.Long story short, DCI P3 filter is definitely still in place in Digital Cinema in v1.02 and this provides a starkly better picture when displaying 4k HDR content than any other setting the projector has.

You have a choice, HDR with or without filter. Without filter gives you smaller color space but more brightness. This is the same feature that the 5040 has, along with the 540, 640 and 4500.

I mistakingly took your statement to say the P3 filter was no longer in place in Digital Cinema - my mistake.I will say that only in these online AV forums have I seen it discussed that the only way to fully take advantage of the projector?s full P3 capabilities is to use the filter with the Digital Cinema color mode. Epson?s own documentation doesn?t mention this. So I think the more this is stated, the better it is for users searching to get the most out of their machines. Are these the correct instructions? File dated 2013:Everything is so cryptic, no link to any firmware on the projector's US support site.To recap:1.
Remove power cable.2. Plug flash drive into mini-USB port with adapter.3. Hold power button and plug the cable back while holding it.4. Release power button when status lights come on.Can someone confirm I am doing the right thing, amateur here, don't want to brick my baby.With anticipated thanks.I successfully updated my LS10500 by using USB cable connection to computer (second part of the same PDF manual).
I successfully updated my LS10500 by using USB cable connection to computer (second part of the same PDF manual).Oh cool, I have plenty of mini USB to USB male cables as the four Harmony 659s around my house are still working full steam.If you have a dedicated light-controlled theater room for your LS10500 I’m not sure you even need to do the update.This new firmware relabels 3 HDR modes and replaces the darkest prior HDR mode with a very lightened/brightened HDR. Unfortunately, if you have an appropriately light-controlled theater, the new HDR mode labeled HDR 1 isn’t of value as you lose tremendous color depth, black gradiations, and the pop of brilliant brights.The old HDR 1 is now labeled HDR 2, and Epson recommends HDR 2 with digital cinema for maximal visual fidelity in a light controlled environment.Long story short, if you have a dedicated theater for your LS, I think you can entirely skip this update. I download the firmware to USB now what do you do from this point to update. Already asked Epson but no answer yet, all they sent me how to download new firmware.You need to download the firmware to an actual computer and then connect the computer to the projector and follow the Epson directions to a T. As long as you do just what the instructions tell you, the update will install to your LS without difficulty.The update cannot be done via USB, only computer. Yes, this means I used a ladder to connect a laptop to my projector mounted 12 feet up in the air on the ceiling.
Mine is in a room 4.7m long with the lens about 3.3m from the screen if I remember rightly on a 104” screen and it could go bigger if I needed.I’ve set it up on a Unicol projector stand and yes whilst it’s huge compared to the Panasonic 5000 I had up on it, once it’s up out of the way you don’t really notice. Plus it looks much nicer than most IMO but more importantly the picture quality is fantastic.Tried some 3D today and it’s a huge improvement in lack of crosstalk, tried a 3D game to really test it and whilst there was some crosstalk it was on very minor things that I had to look for. Not even my old ZT plasma was this good and then followed it up with a Pacific Rim Uprising 3D which was perfect and honestly it’s the best 3D I’ve ever seen for brightness, contrast and 3Dness.I can’t normally see pop out very well but I could literally reach out and touch Lara’s bow in Tomb Raider popping out the screen.Next up the same film in UHD to decide if I prefer 3D or 4K. The little I tried of 4K seemed to match my OLED in Auto Bright, in Auto is was far too dim.Only thing that’s bothering me at the moment is it doesn’t seem to auto switch picture modes properly when swapping between HDR and SDR from my PC at least and the “Signal” settings, enhancement, fast/fine processing don’t save per picture mode which is really annoying. Is there anyway to get the projector to auto switch to high lamp and correct picture mode when HDR is detected like with 3D?It seems to do it at random right now or at least in sync with whatever resolution you last used high lamp. Given it knows from the info panel when it’s receiving HDR or SDR it seems odd it doesn’t switch with that.Using firmware 1.01, not sure if 1.02 is any different, I read it only increases HDR brightness but the current settings match up to my OLED so I haven’t bothered updating.
Hi all, I am seeking a little advice on the epson 10500 on what I should expect and what I might be expecting too much.Well it's all installed and aligned to the mm, I had yet another measuring session. The screen is plumb and with no keystone sides and top now perfect, the graphic lines now fit the edges perfectly. Not sure why it took me so long with laser measuring and endeavouring to work from the PJ corners and not the room, which is 6' wider one and and 4' longer on one side!I also spent 2-3 hours after a 1.5 hour warm up aligning the R and Blue panels using the intersection and I adjusted the majority with the red grid, less but still most with the blue grid.The right bottom corner and less so for the left are out of focus when the centre is in focus, I cannot resolve this buy don't think I can see it in the picture. This is NOT from alignment I can tell you this!!!Gordon was up last Friday and HDR all now mapped for 4K and everything calibrated. I have been watching only 2K films this week, ones I have already seen, saving the new 4k for when the other half can watch them.
Ever since I have had the epson I have noticed image noise, changing the player to the Panasonic, adjusting all of the controls to manage this to a minimum.I am using a Lumagen fed by the Panasonic for 2K and 4K. After many comparisons I have settled on the best settings for 2K, I have tried everything from 2k direct to the epson and turned everything off to keep any processing out of things and player straight 2K, and now feed the Lumagen from the Panasonic and scale in the Panasonic (less noise) I have adjusted sharpness and assessed the very marginal added noise, say 20% more at most for the benefit of additional sharpness. Overall this is the best setting for 2k for meLast night I watched a 4K film for the first time after Lumagen HDR mapping and whilst it was okay, I wasn't blown away. I got up close and I could see noise.
My other half when asked if 4K HDR was better than the last film (2k) she watched and the answer was about the same. Today I have compared Durassic World (I know a truly uninspired film) 4K to 2k and noticed that the 4k HDR was notably dimmer, not dark but dimmer.
The 2K rendition had more punch and was brighter and more contrasty.
