If someone gets a chance, I would appreciate a good deep-dive into the unit's ability to scale to the width of the chip (4096) vs non-scaled (3840). Is there any apparent sharpness loss this way? I'm referring to actual 4K content (not 1080p). Due to my room dimensions, when I eventually upgrade, I do not have enough throw with these new units so I would have to using the 4096 scaling to fit my screen - at least for scope. Thanks.
Dave, for what it's worth I am using the scaling to 4096 to get a smidge more brightness and going back and forth could not see any difference but, I did not do a deep dive as you say with test patterns and pixel peeping. I didn't see any artifacts from my seated position at 11-1/2 feet back at 117" wide image. It looks great IMHO.
That's encouraging to hear, Tom. I sit about 9.5 to 10 feet back from a 108" wide screen.
With the x00 series I definitely saw differences in what brightness setting should be. There was no set it and forget it on that model for some reason. With the x40 series I believe it was -1.
Does anyone know if there is an official form/application yet for US based owners to claim the free lamp?
