January 23rd, 2009 Art Feierman

UPDATE: The JVC DLA-RS20 Review has been posted.

Greetings all!

The first thing I want to say, is that I would have liked to spend a bit more time familiarizing myself with the JVC DLA-RS20 before writing this, but then, this, afterall, is a “first look”.   Read the rest of this entry »

Epson 6500UB, 6100, TW5000, PLV-Z3000 de-focusing


January 21st, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings all,

I promised images from my testing of the defocusing issue.  Due to the narrow width of the blog, and my images all being resized, I have created a page on our website, that you can link to from here.  It has three sequences of images, plus commentary: Read the rest of this entry »

Another issue? Epson Home Cinema 6500UB de-focusing


January 20th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings Everyone!

Thought I would take a break from watching the “event of the century” – Obama’s Inauguration, to chime in on this new issue, that Evan over at Projector Central posted yesterday.  Evan wrote about the Epson 6500UB going out of focus as it warms up.

JVC DLA-RS10 and DLA-RS20 projectors have arrived!


January 19th, 2009 Art Feierman

Both the JVC RS20 and RS10 – officially the DLA-RS20, and DLA-RS10 – have arrived.

Note also that these two home theater projectors are from JVC’s Pro division.  Similar models – with almost no differences – are available from their Consumer group.  The DLA-RS20 projector’s equivalent model is the HD750, while the DLA-RS10′s almost identical twin is the HD350.

I have spent a couple of hours with the RS20 last night, but Mike has it now for calibration.   Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings!

Had two meetings at CES with the folks at Epson.  The first was a general one, but the second one, was completely focused on the frame interpolation issues that I have been discussing in these blogs.  We looked at the same material on both the Epson Home 6500UB, and a Panasonic PT-AE3000.  The meeting Read the rest of this entry »

Back from CES – catching up on comments – JVC, Optoma review units coming


January 12th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings all,

OK, five days in Las Vegas, at the CES show.  Not much in new home theater projectors – and not much was expected as most new projectors were announce at CEDIA in September.

Of note, Optoma has two versions of a new projector, featuring a 1.5:1 zoom lens, and vertical lens shift. Read the rest of this entry »
