All of the RS500's are gone. Still have a few RS600's.

So was able to get these and load them up yesterday. All I can say is WOW and THANK YOU!!

I am using the 600-800-4000

Turned HDR back on in the oppo 203 and it's the best the PJ has looked hands down

Awesome stuff. I'm sure I could tweak it further but I couldn't get the avees tool to open on the borrowed laptop. No worries here though

Excellent to hear. Now you need to watch some of the great 4K titles coming out this month !

Yep, the RS400, 500 and 600 looks as good if not better with HDR content than the 420, 520 and 620, once you have a good custom gamma curve.

After watching the Ghost in the Shell UHD disc, I realized I hadn't watched Lucy with my custom curve.  And not since I added dual 18 inch subs either.  What a treat!

question

how many nits am I getting?

0.8 gain screen...~14' throw. 118" wide 2.35 screen with the rs400?

thanks in advance

Good question. I found this via Google -

Nits vs Lumens
When comparing Nits to Lumens, in simple terms, 1 Nit represents more light than 1 ANSI lumen. The mathematical difference between Nits and Lumens is complex. However, for the consumer comparing a TV with a video projector, one way put it is 1 Nit is the approximate equivalent of 3.426 ANSI Lumens.

Using that reference point, in order to determine what a specific number of Nits is comparable to a specific number of ANSI lumens, you multiply the number of Nits by 3.426.

If you want to do the reverse (you know the lumens and want to find out its equivalent in Nits), then you would divide the number of Lumens by 3.426.

Here are some examples:

200 Nits is the equivalent of about 685 ANSI Lumens
500 Nits is comparable to about 1,713 ANSI Lumens
730 Nits is comparable to about 2,500 ANSI Lumens
1,000 Nits is comparable to about 3,426 ANSI Lumens
1,500 Nits is comparable to about 5,139 ANSI Lumens
2,000 Nits is comparable to about 6,582 ANSI Lumens

I'm getting around 452 nits ? That's what I come up with. Not sure how accurate this is.
