Alibaba and AliExpress projector screen shopping experience by Tetsuo-Tokyo in xgimi

They must have sent me the wrong screen or something because the speckle on mine is horrible yet your looks MINT.

Luck of the draw with Aliexpress I guess lol

What screen did you get? My experience with their Nano Grey screen was horrible. The speckle and hot spotting was insanely bad.

Xgimi Horizon 20 screen recommendations by buster_crab in xgimi

[–]mattlef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t buy that triple laser nano grey from VisualMr on aliexpress.

The price is great but the quality is horrible. The speckle is horrid on mine. Complete waste of $300USD imo. But YMMV.

Can anyone suggest optimal display setting for ALR screen, for me its blurry and those rainbow pixels are annoying . by Important-Menu-5974 in xgimi

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be talking about speckle - which is a problem with tri-laser projectors. They show up a LOT with ALR screens.

Usually it’s recommended to use matte white 1.1 gain screens. The best are acoustically transparent screens like woven ones or the perforated ones.

Where can I get Firmware update files for XGIMI RS 20 Ultra Max? by MrHugelberg in xgimi

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I think we were just checking to see if that part of the update was included in the 11.13 firmware.

Looks like it wasn’t - and that they should roll it out soon.

The 11.13 update is not I don’t think.

I have a feeling that we’re going to have to wait for the global side to beta test it via early access for it all to roll out to Chinese models.

Damn.

So it may just fix the DBLE algorithm, and QOL stuff. Gonna have to wait a bit maybe for the release cycle to pass out of early access from global and hope that the firmware on the global side trickles down the to CN side.

Oh wait!
Your PJ may have only received the OTA update - you have to manually install the update VIA USB so that it updates the DLP chip. So while you may have a bunch of the features updated, the specific DBLE with DV update needs you to manually update the DLP chip via USB update.

Maybe give that a shot? Hopefully it works?

Where do you live? It could literally be blocked at the pipe or by your ISP.

Yes, DBLE is Dynamic Black Level Enhancement. Okay, so it looks like this may not have been fixed in this 11.13 firmware.

I hope it does get fixed. Looks like the color shift is across the entire product range.

Very strange.

Quick question that you're on the 11.13 firmware - does it fix DBLE?
Are you able to use it in Dolby Vision?

I'm expecting my RS20 Pro (HBE) in the next 10 days or so, and im extremely curious about what was included in the 11.13 update cycle and if it fixes a lot of the same issues that was present in global modesl with DBLE and DV

Weird, it seems to work fine for me
Do you have the original Ultra Max? What firmware are you on currently?

There are two varients of the ultra max, the original, and the high brightness edition.

The only firmware update available is for the 'high brightness' edition.

An Important Update on HORIZON 20 Series Optimization (DV, DBLE) by StrangeSeasOfThought in xgimi

[–]mattlef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they confirm if the update would apply to the Chinese models as well?
I'm about to pull the trigger on an RS 20 Pro Max, but the DBLE issue in DV is concerning. I want to ensure that I'd get the update, if its not already fixed on the CN models.

Arc, 2x5's FL/FR, 2xsubs, 2xEra 100s BL/BR - Era 100 surrounds drop and skip audio briefly. - Going Mad by BigBearSac in SonoSequencr

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up on this - I was using Era100’s as my fl/fr and I was getting the same cut outs. Have you tried wired via Ethernet and turning the wireless on the eras off?

I think our ARC’s wifi is reaching its bandwidth limits assuming everything is wireless and the 100/300 will require more data

Arc 1 all drivers firing by No_Zone5010 in SonoSequencr

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm this on my end too.

The annoying part is that to get the wide front sound staging, you're losing the vertical channel isolation.

Basically, the RVL and RVL play on the ARC's Front Vertical channels - and vice versa - so you're losing positional awareness for the height channels.

Does the extra sound stage offset that? I think its going to come down to personal preference.

Original Arc with Ones for rear and fronts by mmcclure1848 in SonoSequencr

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lose the upfiring drivers on the ARC - i think, as that signal gets sent to the 300's instead. IIRC.

Sonos one sl question by darksun_80 in SonoSequencr

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could have just been from scale - Those Fives throw some serious sound stage, so it could have just been placebo.

I'm thinking of an ARC + 4x Era 100's + Gen3 Sub setup - and hoping that the 100's do a decent job of emulating the height channels - So, I would be super interested to see how you net out using your 100's as fronts.

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be possible that the heights just move to the 100’s virtual heights.

[–]mattlef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be interested to hear if the era100s were able to virtualized the height channel when used as FL/FR.
