JVC RS4500 (native 4K laser projector)

[AVSMike]

Well, my RS4500 is pretty quiet now. I installed a powered dead vent right above my RS4500. So I can keep the air intake to the projector nice and cool. Before doing this, I could keep the temperature at seated level nice and cool, but heat collected at the ceiling and caused the fan to speed up, increasing the fan noise. Now I have the dead vent, tied into the 12 volt trigger on the RS4500, so when projector goes on, vent is triggered on by 12 volt relay. Currently running the vent at 80CFM, but can go up to 110CFM. Watched a couple movies in HDR, using high laser output and projector stayed nice and quiet. No need to me to build a hush box now. Since the zone the theater room is in is already in positive pressure, I am dumping the excess heat into a different, larger zone.

Great review Kris !

It's " Hacksaw Ridge " night in my theater tonight ( full house in fact ) with my RS4500 !

[AVSMike]

I watched Hacksaw Ridge this afternoon. I had already seen the movie, but not in 4K HDR on the RS4500. Great movie, Sound and video was top notch.

I hadn't seen the entire movie - it was outstanding on the RS4500. My guests were blown away - period !

I picked up Hacksaw Ridge yesterday and will probably give it a run this weekend. Also picked up Everest and Gatsby at BB as they were on sale for $18.

Everest is one of my favorite movies. Haven't watched the 4K version yet, other than some brief scenes, but I double dipped that one with no hesitation. Gatsby is a hoot and some real eye candy. But Hacksaw Ridge is now one of my favorite films. I can't wait to watch it again - amazing movie, great sound track, excellent picture. Very realistic battle scenes!

Might have to grab Everest.  Watched the BD some time ago and liked it; great movie for a front projection set-up and really good audio.

The picture looks even better on the 4K disc - color is more true to life. Just watched a bit trying to get some screen shots - not too successful, as my camera setup leaves much to be desired !

A few years ago, my wife wanted a nice camera. I bought her a Nikon 5100 and she never uses it.

At least you're set up for screen shots then !

Try go on full manual on your camera, set ISO 100, F6,3 or around and start with a 1 sec exposure, and see how looks, then you can evaluate the picture and make longer or shorter exposure, you might need to set color temperature up or down depending on the scene your shooting, and most of the time turn down contrast setting if possible on the camera.

Not really. I just know how to point and shoot. Never was that interested in photography.
