Anyone undrstand best settings for a Lumagen 3Dmini?

[nightrider1470]

Could I just ask..... My media player has all sorts of video output settings, from 720p to 1080i @50fps or 60fps and 1080p etc etc... Is it best to set my media player at 1080i or 1080p ? And what fps do I choose for the "media player"?

can you mention any other basic settings to enable or set to give best picture performance?.... Am using my Lumagen 3Dmini with a Optoma HD30 and HD87

Also Darbee before or after my Lumagen?

Hopefully find someone advanced on here

Does your media player have a pass-thru setting. That's really the best thing.

The Lumagen has vastly superior deinterlacing, processing and scaling abilities than your media player. It's better to let your media player play out at whatever the native resolution and refresh rate is of the source file if possible. Then use the Video Output Setup Menu so that each combination of input resolution with refresh rate is mapped to an output profile. In other words, a file based on a video signal at 576i/50Hz is mapped to an output profile at 1080p/50Hz. 1080i/59.94Hz is mapped to 1080p/59.94Hz. You can use this to tether the way the Lumagen applies things such as masking too. T

The refresh rate is best set to a mode where the output follows input.

MENU →Output →Custom Modes →[Custom] →Timing →Rate Match →(On, Off)


I have played around with Darbee quite a bit as both the stand-alone device and the built-in version in the Oppo 103D's I've supplied. I have studied the effects of the processing with an extensive array of test patterns. IMO, it helps poor displays more than it helps good displays. Someone else who's eyes I trust came to the same conclusion independently. If you're going to put it anywhere then it's before the final display rather than infront of the Lumagen. Inserting it in front of the Lumagen will be counter productive.

If you really want the best out of your system though then a "whole chain calibration" will produce stunning improvements with or without the Darbee.
