I am new to the thread and really have enjoyed the detail information it provides to owners. I received my new VPL-HW50ES last Friday. After playing the Epson game and returning 21 projectors the Sony unit arrived and has met my expectations in every area of performance but one. The one area is motion artifact. The motion artifact on this projector is terrible even with interpolation turned high. I know motion artifact is some what weaker on SXRD type projectors but I was not expecting this. As bad as Epson projectors can be in many areas motion artifact was not one. Slow pans, fast moving action and slight slow head motions or movements cause a tearing effect. I have played with the entire settings Film mode etc. and I cannot reduce this to an acceptable level. Is this typical performance for this product? Have I missed something in my setup? My sources are an OPPO BDP-95 and the most current DIRECTV HD-DVR. I am using the older MONOPRICE certified silver HDMI cable. Is something wrong with the projector?
Please advice.
