I agree with that 100%!
I had such a discussion with them about it when the VW5000 came out which had inacceptable color depth. First reaction was that the player is incompatible (only Panasonic & Samsung available back then) but then they released an update which solved it to an acceptable level in my opinion. With "acceptable" I mean that by far most people do not notice it and personally am not so allergic against it either. But it is still there.I do not think that a digital bottleneck causes it as the posterization differs with Panel temperature. And it also occurs with FullHD. And there is a big deviation between machines also. I therefore think more of a PWM issue. Regards,Ekki
Nigel,I really did not get an email from you for ages, honestly. Last time we emailed was about all the Z1 issues where we both(!) were no very amused about JVC if I am allowed to remind you ;-) I am never anti brand, I just evaluate products. And it is no secret that I do no think that the Z1 lives up to its hype for many reasons. But I do not want to start that discussion now, because that would never end.If I did receive emails form you after that, I would of course have talked to you about it. Maybe they are in my spam filter, dunno.Coming back to AVS after over a year of abstinence seeng all this badmouthing from you, I was just done with it. Like I said above, I have no problem with discussions, but not on that level. I simply have not the time for such endless back & forth, participating in forums is just a hobby of me. But I can see that you try to sort things out and at least admit that you might be wrong about me being biased. I do appreciate that, which is why I answer here now ;-)To be honest, I never had a bad impression of you until I saw all that bashing against me which I btw. do not understand at all. I did never anything against you and never talked badly about you anyhwere. I just do not agree with you on the Z1 perfomance it seems, that is all.So ok, lets just be decent to each other again :-)Regarding the VW Lasers, I havent followed that discussion on AVS at all. At one point someone posted in my forum that he only reaches 22.000:1 max(!) with dimming. That is quite odd, as the VW4k models can reach that natively already.Regards,Ekki
The temptation to take the first unit AVScience got would be too much for me. You must have the patience of a saint. (or just a very strict protocol about who gets the first units haha)
I agree with all of the above, in fact, I had mentioned this privately to a number of people a few days ago once you had resurfaced on AVS, that I would much prefer an open dialogue with Ekki rather than not, and perhaps with time, we can all get on the same page here and actually share openly information and findings, and more importantly, be able to correlate them with one another. That is far more powerful than the alternative.
I will say I took a pretty huge issue with the photos that have been shared so far, and it did not come from an aspect of anything to do with personalities or individuals, more, an issue with how data was presented and what conclusions could be made from it, since it was quite an unfair comparison, I made that pretty clear cut I think, but lets put that behind us, there are going to be lots of new data points available to compare in the coming days.
Ekki, something I would like to see, if possible, can we please dig into how you achieved your Sony Laser dynamic numbers, A few of us have found it rather odd that nobody other than your self has been able to replicate the numbers, and the persons involved have actually tried hard to reach the same numbers, Kris Deering included. If you dont want to publicly mention it, that's fine, but if you dont mind, I think actually Kris would highly appreciate clarity on the matter.
I look forward to reading about series tests with the full new JVC range, I am rather hopeful that the N7 is a rather surprising machine in comparison to the NX9, most interested if the lack of the Eshift element inside may possibly give it an edge in the ANSI contrast and lead to an interesting performance aspect in comparison.
Anyway, hope you stick around for a civil chat Ekki.
I'm happy everyone made up and apologized. It's sad that we fight over the most trivial of things. Let's be honest and admit that we could all live happily with either a Sony or JVC projector. Even if one brand is clearly better than the other.
Years ago, many people thought I was pro Sony. Now days I am called pro JVC.
Oh I see we have all the same problem. With me it is one year Epson bias, then JVC bias, then Sony bias ans so on never stops...Regards,EKki
We've all been through it. I used to be called a DLP fanboy because I used to complain about issues JVC projectors had. This was circa 2008 and 2009. The irony in all this makes me laugh. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be known as a Sony fanboy. All I know is that I go to where the best image is. For me, at the moment, it's with JVC. I'm eagerly awaiting someone else to impress me more.
