The RS540 and 640 do not have any problem. I tested the low lag with E-shift last night.
Well yeah and the RS540 is another $800 plus tax where I am. We pay 13% tax! So it is out of my range. I really need the X770/RS520 to perform as it should. lol. Maybe it is a sign I need to wait as hard as that may be. sigh.
I've had an RS640 to play with for a couple of days. Nice projector. Reminds me a lot of my RS600, but with automatic HDR ( and better HDR ). A few screen shots - just a few settings adjusted, but really out of the box, since it was just a loaner and not mine to calibrate -
Got mine on Wed. (thanks, Mike!) OOTB looks great. Watched 7th season of GOT, with a lot of dark scenes. Coming from a Samsung SP-a800b DLP, I never knew what blacks were The blacks seemed crushed even, when I get more hours on it I'll dig into calibrating. For now, just enjoying the "pop".
So I had a chance to measure the RS640 I had here. Lumen wise it measured close to the same as the RS600 I owned - 400 lux / 1650 lumens on high lamp. Settings were user 1, standard color profile, 6500K, gamma 2.4. Call it " out of the box but dialed in to be very watch-able ". Clear Black off, manual iris open, auto iris off. Low lamp was 292 lux / 1160 lumens or so. Again, pretty close to what my RS600 measured 2 years ago ( I like to keep notes ! ). 120" diagonal screen, absolute minimum throw distance. I'm sure " High Bright " would measure closer to 2000 lumens, but I don't watch things that way. For what it's worth, a calibrator I had here recently mentioned that the current generation of lamps are holding up very well brightness wise too.
Craig, I have a 16:9 120"d screen. My throw is currently 16' 7". Realizing the online cal. is not accurate, but just for comparison purposes, it says I would get 22 fl. at this throw. If I moved the PJ up to minimum throw (~12') I would get 25 fl. That's a 13% increase. I would not prefer to do that, since it puts it right over my head (and the noise is noticible in "high lamp" mode). Would it be worth it to do anyway? What gain, even in HDR, is 13% in fl?Thanks, George
13% isn't worth re-installing it where you will hate having it. Better to get someone like Chad B to calibrate it and get better color and brightness. And you're right - those on line calculators are no good for lumens - only throw distance. Or, get a larger brighter screen - that would be better ( if possible ) than placing it over your head !
Well, I'd like to calibrate it myself. I have an i1 Display Pro, I was hoping to use with ChromaPure or the JVC software, or just install some of these custom curves floating around. I just got this 120" Silver Ticket woven AT screen, with supposedly 1.1 gain. It seems bright enough at first glance, but then I only have about 10hrs. with the PJ. Coming from a Stewart 130, 100" screen (I wanted bigger ;-). I kept the Stewart, but it seemed for 4K the perforations might show - however that might be the best way to get brighter without buying another screen. But after having a 120" for a while, not sure I could go back to 100 I'm in Central Oregon (Bend area). Don't know of any local calibrators outside of Portland - 170 miles away!
I apologize if this has been mentioned several times, but is there a simple consensus as to what 3d emitter and glasses to get (best bang for the buck)? JVC PKEM2G w/ their glasses or 3rd party (Xpand)?I've had the RS400, RS420, and now the RS520, but never got around to messing with 3d.Thank you
You have to get the JVC 3D emitter, but Xpand 3D glasses do work, along with the JVC 3D glasses.
Is this a change with the x40 line of projectors? I and many others are successfully using the much cheaper Xpand 3D emitter, as well as their glasses, with previous x00 and x20 lines. Has this changed?
