I need Epson 3020 crosstalk help - Blu-ray Forum

Bassman614 · 10-13-2016, 09:14 PM

I have an Epson 3020 that has about 375 hours on the lamp. My question here is, what can i do to improve the major crosstalk issues im having. I see it in every movie, some worse than others. Avatar, Pacific Rim and Life of Pi are very minimal and easily enjoyable. Wreck It Ralph and Edge of Tomorrow are so bad that I just end up watching in 2d. While a highly rated Jurassic Park is just mediocre to me. I am aware that lcd projectors arent up to par with dlp but every review I read claims much improved 3d than the 3010. I dont have experience with the 3010 but i couldnt imagine a projector that is worse than mine. Surely im doing something wrong here but i just cant seem to figure it out, no matter how much i tinker with it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Get use to it. Crosstalk is part of 3D with LCD, LCOS and D-ILA projectors.

Only DLP triple flash is immune to crosstalk. However those machines have poor contrast.

Im starting to figure that out. Its just frustrating. I was just really hoping that maybe someone had some random piece of advice of something i was missing.

Love your setup btw. Ive been thinking about picking up a Darbee, does it really make that big of a difference? I saw an old post of yours in the screenshots thread, do you still recommend it?

Sure do. It adds that wow factor. It gets close to 4K without being 4K.
I know as I've compared both.

A friend of mine in Greensboro NC has the Epson 3000 projector.

I have watched several 3D Blu-rays there and no crosstalk.

My 60" Samsung 2014 model 7150 direct-view has very little
and when it does you pretty much have to be looking for it.

I had a 2010 and a 2012 Panasonic Plasma and they made "Dial M for Murder" unwatchable;
every single shot in that film had ghosting on the Panny Plasmas.

On the Samsung, the 3D on "Dial M for Murder" looks beautiful.

But, my friends' Epson 3000 Front Projector is totally without crosstalk,
and the forward in-your-face effect is far better than any direct-view TV that I have seen.

I have found that turning the dynamic iris off has seemed to help the best. I watched tmnt 2 a couple days ago and noticed very little. I still have to pop in the worst offenders to check those out. I have to get to family video and re-rent wreck it ralph, the absolute worst offender ive seen. Almost seemed like i was watching a 3d screen without glasses.
