About this item
- Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
- The DVP-5000S is similar to its predecessor, but with cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing design. The new design also comes with some new capabilities
- As with all DarbeeVision products, Darbee Visual Presence technology, the powerful human-vision-based model for digital image enhancement, remains at the core. The algorithm has been subtly improved in version 2.0, resulting in even fewer visible enhancement artifacts
- As always, you can expect improved perceived depth and realism of images. As before, the processing is super fast, which eliminates the lip-sync issues that are inherent with many video processors. Intra-frame processing means that there is no time delay, so the DVP-5000S is great for videos and movies, but unlike slower processors, it's also fast enough to enhance video in applications where lag simply isn't acceptable, such as video gaming!
- Keep in mind that comments like this are coming from people watching 1080p program material on 1080p display devices, but it is also fair to say that Darbee Visual Presence can also enhance 1080p content viewed on 4K displays.
- DarbeeVision is further sweetening the deal by including an external/remote IR sensor, so line of sight to the processor is no longer required. This is a great feature for anyone who prefers to keep the device out of sight. Another step-up from the previous model is the included IR remote control. The retail package even includes an HDMI cable, so now you get everything you need to start enjoying Darbee Visual presence right away

Product description
The DVP-5000S is similar to its predecessor, but with cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing design. The new design also comes with some new capabilities.
Darbee Visual Presence technology, the powerful human-vision-based model for digital image enhancement, remains at the core. The algorithm has been subtly improved in version 2.0, resulting in even fewer visible enhancement artifacts.
As always, you can expect improved perceived depth and realism of images. As before, the processing is super fast, which eliminates the lip-sync issues that are inherent with many video processors. Intra-frame processing means that there is no time delay, so the DVP-5000S is great for videos and movies, but unlike slower processors, it's also fast enough to enhance video in applications where lag simply isn't acceptable, such as video gaming!
Reviewers have commented that the effect is similar to 4K Ultra HD displays, particularly in terms of the perception of depth and realism. Keep in mind that comments like this are coming from people watching 1080p program material on 1080p display devices, but it is also fair to say that Darbee Visual Presence can also enhance 1080p content viewed on 4K displays.
The DVP-5000S will not process or pass 4K/UHD video, but since the vast majority of video content in the world today in not UHD, and since the DVP-5000S can visibly enhance virtually any video resolution up to 1080p, that means that it can make almost all video look better, even if we happen to be watching it on a UHD display device. And make no mistake - no device without DARBEE Visual Presence technology can do what this device can do for your video. The many options and adjustments are all easily accessible using the included remote control, so you can fine-tune right from your viewing position.

I use it on the output of my PS3 which goes into my Sony AVR (DN-1050).
The product physically looks nice enough. It's annoying HDMI input and output is on opposite ends of the device, it just makes it ungainly.
The effect:
I totally see why people say it removes a haze from the image because that is precisely what it seems to do. It highlights highlights and does add more pop and depth information to the image.
I settled on running it relatively low however, 20-25% on the Hi-def setting. Higher than this and I am too aware of the effect.
It also does create the illusion of sharpening the picture although it is not sharpening the picture in the traditional sense.
On my 55'' TV I can see the effect, its nice mostly noticeable on clothing and things like railings, facial hair but isn't ground breaking. Where its application really shines is on my HW40ES projector. I use min setting on reality creation and it is nice having it in films now and I wouldn't be without. Just tread a fine line of not cranking it too high.
I have however had a few HDMI dropouts since installing the darbee and it only occurs on netflix from the PS3. When playing blu-rays I have had no problems. It is intermittent and impossible to predict, the screen goes black with audio loss for two seconds.
I contacted Darbee and they didn't reply to me. They simply do not care as a company. For these two last issues I deduct a star.
It's fine tuning for your setup, do not expect miracles as you will get none. If using on a TV I would only consider it at 55" diagonal sizes or above.
I'd wait till its on sale @ £140 as I bought it at £159
Edit it later transpired my Sony AVR hdmi board had failed so the dropouts may not have been from the darbee end. A lot cheaper now at £119! For this much why not.
However, one word of warning. A number of plug adaptors are provided to cover use in any country, BUT the UK adaptor is the only one that doesn't fit!!! I was lucky in that I have a US to UK transformer so had to use the US adaptor plugged into my transformer. Not ideal. I will be contacting Darbee requesting a replacement part.
My advice would be don't buy until they have a unit that is 4K compatible and fit for today modern technoligy
Adds that bit of depth.
Having read many reviews I decided to go for this, having had it for a year it was good move and great addition to my projector set up.
This isn’t for normal TVs or any new decent TVs.
