XGIMI S Pro soap opera effect - can it be solved?
I have just bought the XGIMI Horizon S Pro after the bulb on my old VIewsonic PJD5255L died. I was expecting it to be an upgrade and in many ways its is. The picture is crisp, the autofocus is great and the UI is fine. However, when watching films the XGIMI picture just feels wrong. It feels like you are on set with the actors. There's nothing cinematic about the experience at all. After some research I figured that what I'm experiencing is called the "soap opera effect". I have turned off the motion smoothing and set the Apple TV input to frame match the source. This made a bit of a difference but the picture still feels off - still not cinematic. I am thinking of returning the XGIMI. Does anyone have any advice either on how to solve the problem with the XGIMI or what kind of projector to replace it with? My budget is around £1000 ±200.
