Models affected: ELP-3000 ELP-3300 ELP-3500 PowerLite-5000 PowerLite-7000 PowerLite-5000XB PowerLite-7000XB PowerLite-7300 Description of artifact: When playing high image contrast, fast-action DVD movies, a very thin horizontal break can occur in the image. The line-tear is very difficult to see if the viewing environment is moderately or brightly lit. Most viewers will not notice it. This line-tear can occur at the top, middle or bottom of the screen as the movie continues to play. The tearing occurs about every 5 to 8 minutes of play and can be seen for the duration of the movie. The break can also appear to travel vertically over time because of timing differences between video frame rates and projector refresh cycles. The artifact only occurs when playing movies from a Computer DVD player through the VGA port. There is no video tearing of the same motion picture through the S-Video, Composite or Component input ports on the projector. The artifact appears only in the video display. The audio track is unaffected. The issue is not dependent on PC or Mac hardware platforms, operating system or DVD player software. Reasons: Digital video playback through computers was not prevalent until the mass production of Computer DVD players. With the incorporation of NTSC video frames embedded into RGB computer video signals, synchronization limitations (frame shift) were encountered. In June 1998, Epson incorporated frame synchronization circuitry for future projector models to eliminate the artifact. Resolution: Because the introduction of Computer DVD playback occurred after the manufacture of the mentioned projectors, Epson has no plans to replace or upgrade the models specified.

More light passes through each LCD because it is polarized without a filter. EPSON-made Poly-Silicon LCD's are manufactured to the highest standards. Improvements in the precision of this LCD structure has allowed EPSON projectors to reach a superior level of brightness with a combination of these five technologies, included in most EPSON projectors: Size ranging from 1.32 inches to 0.9 inches Resolutions from SVGA to XGA to SXGA.
