New 2017 JVC Models "Refresh" (RS420/520/620; X570/770/970)

[AVSCraig]

I have both of those. Any scenes in particular?

When the camera first goes to " 100 Days After The Fall " ( Hawaii ), the scenes where Tom Hanks and the other guy are attacked by the savages - lots of video noise on my RS600, none on my VW600, pretty much none on my RS4500.

Interstellar has a few scenes that had " video noise " on my RS600 - is that movie shot on film ? I'm thinking yes. Just watched some of it on the RS4500. I'm thinking it's film grain, and it just showed itself more on the RS600. Check and see if it's the same on the RS620 please. Just looks like film grain on the RS4500.

Has anyone measured what is the peak/maximum brightness output with DCI-P3 colour with respect to the RS620/X9500 yet? It's in the order of 1,400 Lumens on the RS520/X7500... But we'd like to know what it is on the RS620/X9500

Yes, anamorphic 35 mm and IMAX 70 mm.

I watched a bit of it yesterday on my RS4500 as a test, and got caught up in the movie - as usual. The spae scenes look pretty darn good on the RS4500 !

For anyone who missed the event don't forget that we have an additional seminar planned for this Saturday, March 18, in Colorado Springs. While the overall seminar schedule will be the same, this time we will have the JVC DLA-RS4500 and DLA-RS620 JVC projectors (and screens from Stewart) in the same room. Same is true for the Revel F208 / C208 / M106 surround system and JBL M2 / LSR708i / S2S-EX / C763L Atmos system. The Colorado Springs event will be from 1-6 pm at the Colorado Springs Marriott, 5580 Tech Center Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919. Chris Deutsch from JVC and Gregg Loewen from THX will be special presenters.

For anyone who attended the Denver event on Saturday, we'd like to invite you back to the Colorado Springs event at no charge. We found out after checking a few sound anomalies during our Saturday session that the JBL M2 Master Studio Reference Monitors and S2S-EX subwoofers were mis-calibrated. If you’d like another chance to audition these amazing speakers, please feel free to attend our Colorado Springs event this Saturday. Again, not a sales event - this is educational only.

Thanks to our friends at AV Science Discussions for letting us post about this! Here is a direct link to our Facebook event page if you'd like to sign up (or write us at seminar@thescreeningroomav.com): https://www.facebook.com/events/1671605399799663/

Any more owners of the new models here, that have any comments ? I'm interested in your feedback on the HDR pre-set on this series.

Hi,
I have 2 X9500,s and an X7500 here.

The HDR default Gamma is very good. I tried some of the custom curves , but prefer the default..
 I am using settings of PT +6 DL+4 BL-4 . this is on my 143" Scope screen..throw is 20ft.

I previously had the X7000 and the X9500 has a phenomenal lens....it is vastly sharper than my old X7000.

Watched PASSENGERS in 4K HDR yesterday. Stunning image.

HDR using an Arve tool created HDR curve is just excellent on these projectors, then again so is the default HDR gamma. Its only a mild improvement going to the Arve tool on these units, but worth it for those last few steps of highlight control for 4000 nit titles.

Definitely a must buy UHD disc, a good film too!

I liked the movie, and thought it looked excellent too- Good call on comparing the bar scene to the one in The Shining !
