Found this on 4K.com and found it really interesting to see on one screenshot pic comparing the different media resolution...JVC RS500 / 600 OwnersAs well I found this older but interesting article about HDR vs SDR further strengthening the theory/thought that maxing out the brightness in HDR is not a great thing and that SDR/4K may be the way to go...http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/4k-vs-201604104279.htm
Glad to be joining another forum for AV discussion. My RS600 is still going strong after 10 months. I need to run JVC autocal to correct for some droop in gamma. Like some others I'm waiting for the Oppo UHD Blu-ray player to replace my Samsung.RS600 review: http://www.projectorreviews.com/jvc/jvc-dla-rs600u-x950r-home-theater-projector-review/
Welcome Ron, glad to have you here.
Hi everyone,Don't have much time for the hobby at the moment, but it's nice to find this new forum.
What's going on Manni?
So I have read through a good chunk of the 16,000+ posts on AVSforum and hundreds on AVforums and am on the fence as to whether to go for the RS500 or wait till next generation.I currently have an RS15 shooting from ~18ft onto a 120" Carada BW in a light controlled room, seating at 11 ft and 17 ft. My current bulb is getting old and weak. Everytime I get to that point of buying a new bulb I consider upgrading the projector.I am literally about to order it tomorrow morning, but I'm a bit concerned regarding all the "optimizing" (or fidgeting??) that seems to be necessary to get this projector up to snuff....It seems part of the problem is this was released obviously prior to any UHD BR players so there has been some hiccough getting everyone in the chain to get along.On the Plus side, though, this projector is "mature" now and has many of the bugs worked out. Whenever you buy a spanking newly released projector it doesn't have this "benefit",So as current RS500 owners - if you weren't already - would you jump in now, this late in the season, or try to resist the urge and wait one more year. (Obviously you can wait forever if you play the wait-and-see-what's-released-next-generation game . . . . Just trying to sense where on the "curve" of cutting edge to mature this is)Many thanks!!!!
