I got to thinking about this....did you possibly typo and mean 1,300,000 to 800,000:1 fully closed? Yes, the gap is smaller between 130,000 and 80,000:1 fully open. Is it visibly significant between 130,000 and 80,000:1 (fully open, properly calibrated)?
No typo. Native will be closer, when iris is opened up. Talking about the RS540 at 130,000:1 and the RS2000 at 80,000:1. Those numbers are with iris closed. When open, they will be considerably less.
Yeah. All these years I thought native meant wide open. I was talking to Chadb today on something else and he straightened me out; native is with the aperture closed down, and a lot less when opened up fully.I learned something today. Something so basic, I should have known it long ago.
This might be a dumb question but I am debating between the RS2000 and RS3000. Now here is the maybe "dumb" question. My projector is mounted in a separate room and I built a box to put in the wall with some edmund optics glass. If I got with the RS3000 and the bigger lens, is the output from the projector via the lens somehow bigger? If that makes sense.
Native can mean both wide open and closed. Most people referring to native contrast are usually referring to the maximum amount of contrast available and this usually is with the iris closed. However, native on/off contrast just refers to a peak white and black level measure compared against one another when the display is in a fixed position. For a projector that means nothing in the light path moves when measuring. So all irises and settings need to remain the same when taking your measurements. But this doesn't mean it has to be fully closed. It can be at any position and as long as it doesn't move when taking the measurements it's a native contrast measurement.
Mike, The JVC documentation lists 120/240V 50/60hz in the power-supply.Do you know if these are doing voltage switching internally, i.e. If I had a US JVC here, it would be safe to plug into my 240V outlet?Or, are they region specific power-supplies and each region model does indeed require 120v or 240v independently for eg?I know some electronics are smart enough to switch on their own...
I ended up checking the bottom of my 9500, and it does indeed list 100-240v 50/60hz on the actual unit.So, I would assume the US version is no different.Interesting anyway. I dont think I would import one. Was just curious.I think the NX9 over there is going to be FAR cheaper than here when street price is involved.
That's always going to be the case. It seems the US gets some of the best pricing on these JVC models for some reason. Sony seems to be the opposite. They're cheaper in the EU than they are here by a decent margin. Lucky for most of us here in the US that want to buy JVCs instead of Sony models.
