  • Video Issues/Questions/Options For Most Golf Sims


    I am setting up sim with EYE XO but am confused about several video issues - I have extensively researched this forum and other sources but there are lots of differing answers out there, even basic disagreements on how 16:9 aspect ratio is treated and what is 4K - any responses are greatly appreciated and will help others as they face these same issues.

    My goals are to have:

    1) Height - thus, 16:10 gives me the most height I can accomodate which means a max. 15.2' x 9.5' screen; and if possible
    2) 4K - actually UHD (3,840 by 2,160) is fine (my computer & video card show UHD).

    Issues/Options/Questions:

    1) Dealing with resolution:

    a) Does EYE XO Refine show in UHD? - doubtful but, if not...

    b) Some projectors can upconvert to UHD - does XO accomodate upconversion - I see no reason why not as that is what the projector would do and I can't see how Refine would prevent?

    c) Next option would be pixel-shifting UHD projector - I assume XO can accomodate such projectors for same reasoning as with upconversion?
    i) Any subjective opinions on degree of picture quality loss for pixel-shifting vs true UHD
    ii) Any subjective opinions on picture quality of pixel-shifting vs upconversion

    2) Dealing with 16:10 aspect ratio:

    a) Any projector recommendations showing both UHD and 16:10 without degrading picture?

    b) Or any recommendations on projector having both upconversion to UHD and 16:10?

    c) Or any recommendations on projector having both pixel-shifting UHD and 16:10?

    3) Next option is to just get a 16:9 projector if none of above are available; but what is best way to deal with a projector showing 16:9 on a 16:10 screen?

    i) Is it distorted if filling whole screen?
    II) Or perhaps show in 16:9 and leave black space at bottom of screen?
    iii) Projector recommendations with16:9 that have best resolution (projectors with UHD or upconversion to UHD or pixel shifting)?

    Again, many thanks for any and all insights.

    Partial answer to 1)a.

    I spoke to a Uneekor rep today and he said EYEXO only does 1080p. I asked if it was because of the software and he said he thought so but wasn't sure.

      I have a QED running 16:9 with a screen built for 16:10. I settled in on the Optoma Darbee 1080 since I figured we would use the sim for movies. Never happened, mostly all golf, XBOX occasionally. Works ok, but I would love to fill the 1 ft screen gap. I am waiting on a 16:10 Native laser short throw projector that will have at least 4500 lumens. (Ultimately something like the Optoma GT1090 that runs 16:10)I would look hard at your 16:10 options.
