old topic but curious anyone using it now?? !!


"5. Super Wide is default at Off. To activate it, select Auto, then set the Zoom feature to 1. HD65 will then automatically detects the content, if 16x9, it masks off top and bottom 5% to show the "action safe" area with a near 2.0:1 ratio. If 2.35 content, it takes the 2.0:1 portion of the 2.35 and fill the 1280x640 area, so we get 100-lines more of vertical resolution than a plain 2.35:1 image (1280x544). So now we have "constant height" and "constant width" for both 16x9 and 2.35:1 movies. So the average consumer will no longer be confused as to why some movies fill the screen, and some movie has black bars at top/bottom.

6. The 2.0:1 provides a good wide viewing vista for more Cinemascope feeling without expensive 16x9 lens. With <$999, consumer gets a "budget minded CHT".

Super Wide works well, especially, with 1080i source, where 100-lines more resolution is used to interpret the 1080i/p contents.

It's best to use a 2.0:1 screen to mask out the unused pixels to enjoy the 2.0:1 Cinemascope feeling.

If user don't like it, they can always disable that, and HD65 performs like any 720p 16x9 projector does.

playing with your new toy!!

I can never get the Super Wide option to show. Sometimes i see it, but i dunno how it got there, then 2nd time when i wan to find it, it's not there anymore.

Anyone had any idea how to make it show 'everytime'? Can we ask for a firmware upgrade if any?

Thanks

hey guys..just got myself the HD65..today finished painting my room..will post some pics when i hv the mood..nway i'm very happy with its performance using tvix, ps3 and xbox360

just wanna ask how's astro with your setup? astro picture is very off..watching man u and chelsea now and man u jersey is pink colour n chelsea jersey looks purplish....any of you encountered the same? anyone can help?

Are you using Onkyo to do the job? I suppose that all your gears are connected to avr.

yeah i'm using my onkyo...everything goes thru receiver then hdmi to hd65...if i connect direct from astro decoder will it make any difference?

Probably due to color space setting or setting in HD65. Did you choose other setting?

taukeh HTKAKI

u got the ULTIMATE setting tuned by our PQ guru oledi?

Boss, aint yet as he is busy. Need to wait for him to come to KL.

Btw, he has done the calibration on hackwire's HD65

i know.. but taukeh hackwire maybe still bz setting up his aiskilim stall

Just give him a ring. I think he can accomodate a bit to HD65 kaki like us.

Another happy HD65 owner reporting in!! Too bad i was quite busy since installing it but so far I'm very happy with its performance...watching I am Legend using HD65 again made it seem like it's my first time watching it..huhu!! I've posted my setup on the main home theatre forum thread.

Any of you wanna swap .mkv movies? hehehe...

May I know what's the screen size for Optoma HD65?

To those who owned the HD65, just wondering if it is able to produce the "pop" effect in PQ, like its big brother HD82 when watching BD movies...

That would be tricky to answer as each has his/her own meaning or expectation on 'POP' effect.

Of course, HD65 is no match to HD82 (FHD).

I was completely blown away when I saw a demo of Iron Man through this HD82 here in KK, it's like I was right in the movie action. What impressed me most was that the image was even projected on an untreated wall. I couldn't imagine how will it look like if it's on a proper HT screen.

Poisoned deeply since then...I do hope that the HD65 can do wonders though, at least able to feel like I'm in the real race when playing PS3 Grid.

Where in KK did you see it? Karamunsing?

You won't be disappointed with HD65 once u use proper screen. Sure got 'pop' effect if it is properly calibrated
