Re: Display Issue with Samsung BD-UP5000 on Theatre Projector


Hey mthomati

Welcome to the shack!

My suggestion when hooking the BD-UP5000 to your Optoma HD80 DLP Projector Display is to not use the UP5000's pink/purple video outputs. Go with its HDMI or component instead.

I'm not sure what Samsung was thinking with the new pink/purple video outs on the 5000 but I know I haven't seen an a/v output so universally reviled since Sony's feedback audio outs that line of stereo equipment back in the 80s.


kidding...

Seriously. let me get this straight...

“Now, I got the new BD-UP5000 yesterday and replace the BD-P1000. I get video and audio fine on both displays.”

Did you just say video is good (no pink/purple) on both the Samsung LCD HDTV (LN-S4695D) and a Optoma HD80 DLP Projector Display from the UP5000?

I'll assume you've never seen good picture quality from UP5000 to the Optoma. If you have... how did the conditions differ from when the symptoms in the very next line occured?

“However, on my projector I get a pink/purple like color from the BD-UP5000 (watching a movie or not). The picture quality on Samsung LCD HDTV looks great! Just not on my projector display.”

Is this using HDMI?

Let’s assume hdmi only -

If you can alternate a direct connection (no a/v receivers) from Up5k to two different displays, one looks good, the other bad … owch.

Now try the same thing with Xbox 360 or P1000 (remember hdmi only)

Do you get the same symptoms?

If no, everything is fine with the other devices … I’d say there is something up with the UP5000

Ensure you have the latest firmware update on the UP5000. Samsung has been dropping updates like presidential candidate lately.

Trying a different unit might help. I honestly like the up5000 for ‘specific’ purposes despite the lack of multi-channel TrueHD support at present. I am confident Samsung will fix it – but via HDMI bitstream only, sadly probably not analog.

I’ll post more about that later based on info I just got from Sammy yesterday.
