It sure would be nice to get a positive synergy effect between the simplicity in a Marquee and more complicated "plug an play" G90.Not sure if a marqueeG90 merge will make a difference in picture quality.The only thing i do not like about the G90 is when the Dallas chip internal battery need replaising or if something hard to replace component go bad on the YA board.The 110 kg G90 is not easy do move around that is correct, but with the 8 handles and some transport and lifting tools it is quite easy compared to a piano.....
The Dallas ship is changed in Your G90
What kind of light output do you guys get out of the G90.?
Hi Diddern, yes PJ told me some of the history of my G90 so hopefully that chip will keep the settings for 5-10 more years. I was thinking more of the Marquee design with a more flexible litium powered battery for the setup memory, so when the voltage get to low, the user just have to solder on a new power cell with the same voltage and the projector do not loose more settings than the current setup. I like that solution a little bit better than if the internal power in the dallas ship go bad, there is a risk of spot burning and toasting the tubes and the memory of the chip have more of the "low level" factory logs and settings so the G90 will loose a lot more information than the current installation setup.
Can easy do 14-16Fl in 106 inch
Neutral gain screen.?
At the moment the G90 setup have approx. 11 fL on a 90" 1.1 gain 16:9 screen using the maximum "16:9" area on the tubes. I like to have the contrast at moderate levels on CRT projectors to get the best picture without pushing the tubes, and to enjoy the "dark side" of the CRT technology... To start with i calibrated the G90 with 16fL to, but i think the green tube is running a little hard in the G90 so i turned the contrast down. If i want higher light output i use a JVC "lamp valve" with A-lens in another home cinema setup
The G90 U have is a great CRT. And by far the best CRT I have seen in real life. Adjusted by professionals that know CRT.
