Title: Imprex Processing Engine - What exactly does it do?
Post by: BigPines on September 16, 2015, 11:10:12 PM: I see a lot of talk about how desirable the Imprex Processing Engine is but I can't find any description of what exactly it does to the picture. Would anyone be kind enough to enlighten me?

I am a cynic when it comes to digitally improving video, but the Q5/Q10 can display give a split screen of with/without ExpressX and it really does look loads better.

You also get extra brightness, contrast, hue, saturation modes to play with and some auto-contrast/colour modes.

Post by: BigPines on September 17, 2015, 07:16:10 PM: Thank you all. So how does one disable this feature on the Q5? I would like it play with it a bit but suspicious that I won't end up wanting it.

Nevermind. I found it and disabled it. I understand why people may think this looks better but it looks like a basic boost in contrast and color to me. I would prefer my media player play my video as transparently as possible.
