It's strange that I have read people complaining about how this paint goes on the wall if they didn't thin it a little, so maybe I'll go 1 part paint to .75 parts water and see how that works !

It's a very, very thick paint (reminds me of black tar) and does take more work to put on the wall not mixed, but wasn't a big deal to me.  When I did tests, I found it just a bit darker not mixed with water...in fact, I later went over the mixed water parts with just the paint.  But it's slight.  It does a great job of absorbing light.

Some folks seemed to thing it looked streaky not thinned. I have to thin it or I'll need to order more !

Just to note, my walls were also white before putting it on - not sure if that factored in on my experience.

I would help, but a little too far away. :) I agree on the help. You don't want to throw your back out for a projector, not even an RS4500. :)

The RS4500 in it's new home.





It works ! Time to build a new front enclosure.

Awesome Craig. If possible, would you mind sharing the distance between the front and rear feat of the projector? Need to confirm my shelf is long enough to support the length. The same shelf supported the 1100 without issue but RS4500 is a bit longer.

Watched a little bit so far, mostly to get the projector lined up on the screen(s), make sure it works, and find my way around the menus ( similar to the RS600, but different ). I haven't even begun to start dialing this projector in. So far I like it.

Lens memory works great - better than the VW600 and the RS600.

Black levels - obviously not as good as the RS600, but as good as the VW600 I had. Detail on really dark scenes is excellent. I can now see where I had black crush / lack of detail on my RS600 ( beginning of the new Star Wars Blu Ray ).
I need to play around with settings.

Dynamic laser dimming - tried Mode 2. Can't see any pumping on my 122" dia. 16:9 Cima Neve screen or the 128" diagonal 2.35:1 ST 130 G3 screen so far.

Bright. I just closed the manual iris to -8, but I need to sit down with the light meter and test patterns. High laser looks crazy good - very tempting to use that. I need to get my light meter out. 

About as loud as my old Digital Projection 1080p projector at times. Not a factor for me. 

4K UHD Blu Rays look better than I've seen them, but I only threw in Pacific Rim so far. The picture detail is amazing - I'll be testing more this weekend. And I did use BT.2020. Not too dark on my screen. I'll test the HDR preset on the RS4500 next.

17.3" - it's on page 78 of the owners manual.

Yeah, I usually don't wish that the weekend would go by quickly, so that I can work on Monday. :)
