Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 9500UB LCD Front Projector


(Added to the list)


The Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 9500UB will properly display 1080p/24 signals at 96HZ using a film quality 4:4 pulldown method. 60HZ video based sources are refreshed at 120HZ. When the 4:4 pulldown mode is on while watching 60HZ film based sources, this projector will even do a reverse 3:2 pulldown and display the image at 96HZ (That is a nice feature when watching film based movies from cable, satellite, and legacy DVD's).

The following are quotes from the March 2010 Home Theater Magazine review
(pages 38-40)

"With its 4:4 pulldown control engaged, the 9500 UB will play back native 1080p/24 film-originated material at a frame refresh rate of 96 hertz by adding three repeated frames between each pair of real frames. Optionally, you can select Epson's new motion-smoothing features - FineFrame - which adds three interpolated frames, instead of simply repeating them."

"With a 60 - Hz video-based source, the Epson adds only one repeated or interpolated frame, for a refresh rate of 120 Hz."

"If both frame interpolation and 4:4 pulldown are left off, then the 60-Hz film-originated source retains its 3:2 pulldown and is displayed with a single repeated frame at a refresh rate of 120 Hz. If 4:4 is turned on for such a source, the 60-Hz signal is reconstructed to 24 Hz and displayed at a 96-Hz refresh rate using 4:4 pulldown."

"If you select interpolation for material with 3:2 pulldown, the Epson first converts the material to 24fps by eliminating the 3:2 pulldown. Then it adds four interpolated frames to each real frame and displays the source at 120 Hz. These sources generally include all film-originated broadcast sources, both standard and high definition, and all movies on DVD."

"I'm not a fan of frame interpolation for film-based sources, as it gives them a video-like look. Apart from checking out this feature (it did what it was designed to do), I didn't use it on most of the program material I watched."
