Whatever works. I did find that interesting. Everybody wants better HDR !
Get a LED LCD TV! But.... size matters! more!
I should have phrased that better. I didn't mean that it's funny they were using Arves tool. So many Sony projector owners hate JVC products and vice versa. The funny part is that something made for their arch enemy is helping them achieve better HDR performance.
Ya, I did get the irony. Still, we shouldn't " hate " on other manufacturers - these are just a form of TV. I think everyone just gets upset to find out their new projector isn't the perfect projector they have been searching for. Nobody likes having their flaws pointed out, or their projectors!
I did notice they couldn't help but take pot-shots at JVC in the process:"Creates 1024 (10Bit) steps Gamma curves for Sony-Projectors instead of only 256 (8Bit) curves for JVC projectors"Personally, I think it's great news. Actually makes me more likely to get a Sony projector at some point. I'm really not entirely happy with my JVC, mainly for ergonomic issues, but also how JVC releases firmware updates only in the form of new models. If Sony (or anyone else) came close to my RS600's image quality I'd happily change.
Everybody has their issues. i don't remember Sony issuing a firmware update to fix panel / contrast degradation. The fact is companies need to sell projectors to be able to afford to hire software engineers and people to design better projectors. Oh look - Digital Projection now has a native 8K DLP projector ! Soon everything will once again be obsolete ( including all of your HDMI cables, receivers etc. ). Ain't no firmware update to change that.
Ya, a guy in the VW885 thread just said that contrast loss in previous Sony's is just a rumor. One thing I haven't heard about for quite a while is the dreaded " pink stripe " JVC optical block issue. Seems like that may be far less common these days.
That issue went away starting with the RS40.
