Home Cinema 1080UB & Image Blur (1 Viewer)

[spidey24]

I am trying to research what I need for my theater room since the framing in my basement is nearly done and now the real technical stuff begins. I read on
projectorreviews (Sorry, I haven't posted 10x yet so I am not allowed to post the link) that they reviewer experienced image blur while watching a tennis match. I'm guessing that may be fairly normal since the ball could be moving faster that 100 mph. The writer wasn't convinced that it was necessarily the projector as it may have been the broadcaste or other factors. My primary concern with this is with watching football games and have noticed motion blur on other HDTV's and it drives me nuts!!! So, has anyone else seen this issue on a home cinema 1080 projector with a sports broadcast? TIA

I remember reading about that in the review you mentioned, and I also think it has to do with the broadcast.

I have this very projector set up and I've never seen anything like it. I've gamed on it, playing Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, both of which can get pretty fast and potentially blurry, but I've never seen any blur, as well. I've also watched movies through the VGA input, and various DVDs, BDs, and HD DVDs, and I've never seen the blurring the reviewer was talking about. Now, keep in mind, the ONLY thing I haven't watched on this projector is cable/HD cable, so I can't say for sure that it won't happen. However, based on my experience, I doubt it ever would under good broadcast conditions.

In any case, the C2Fine engine in the projector is a pretty strong one, and should offset (to some extent) any bad broadcasing.

Go into a higher-end store that has that on demo and view it for yourself. That's what I did and it tipped the scales for me. This gadget it worth every penny.

I would support the idea that a bad input will produce a bad output no matter what else happens...watching the Olympics on the big screen is pretty spectacular, but I have noticed a lot of large blocks of pixels in the image. Particularly bad is the water splashed up by swimmers.....eww, chunky.
