Love to… Problem is, to do a competitor’s page, one needs competitors to write about. I’m posting the Sony VPL-VW90ES today, just working on the summary page, the HDTV section, and a few odds and ends. The JVC review never got finished do to brightness issues. So, from a 3D standpoint… not much to compare to — yet.

I will work in that page on the weekend, with the Sony done. I’m going to write up the JVC DLA-RS60 review as well. Since I can’t seem to get JVC to let me know if they thing our review unit – producing less than 50% of claim, is typical. From a review standpoint I did everything but take pictures (figuring another unit will arrive.

So the “Review must go on” When/if, JVC sends another, I will of course update, as we do whenever we find a projector with issues, and the manufacturer lets us know about a significant improvement (issue related).

And that will make the 3rd 1080p 3D capable. So, I will cobble together some competitive. I even have 3D side by side images between the Sharp and the Sony (no you can’t see them as 3D, but it shows the relative brightness and color handling of the two. Some interesting things there.

I can tell you that the SI folks say their screen is good with active shutter glasses 3D, but not designed for the heavier polarization related stuff needed for passive glasses based 3D. I will have an SI BD1.4 in my testing room, but my requirement calls for a motorized one, and when I spoke with them in early December, it wasn’t ready. Time for me to check back. I have reviewed the screen itself, on the main site, but as a normal 2D screen. I got to compare it directly to my old Firehawk G3, and talk a lot about the two of them. Hope that helps, but it won’t with the 3D question. -art
PS. we’re really not set up for screen reviews. That’s why it seems like we sort of do one of each type, a HC gray here, a 1.4 gain white, an acoustic… and so on. But our goal is to try to position the different types of screens so you can figure out which type of screen is the one you need.

Has anyone tested the RS60 on a SI black diamond 1.4 100″. I am considering on spending a small fortune on this screen.
There is so much positive promo about the screen but not an actuall honest review.

The reason some screens have 3 numbers in the AVS table on 3D screens is became any number that appears in the left column is actually part of the name of the specific screen fabric as listed by the screen manufacturer (and if there is a number it normally is just the screen gain). For example I have listed the three version of the Da-lite “HD progressive” fabric and Da-lite calls these three different fabrics:
- HD Progressive 0.6
- HD Progressive 0.9
- HD Progressive 1.1
So that’s the way they are listed in the left column of the table.

The center column in the table lists the manufacturer’s rate screen gain, which in the case of the above 3 cases will be the same number, and fianlly the right column provides a rating (from 0 to 4) that indicates the ability of the screen surface to retain the polarization of the projected light.

I hope that helps

For example, the Carada Brilliant White showed a 1.4 gain, and the only other number was 0.5? Still no idea what that means… The ones with 3 number sets make sense.

PS. almost 3700 posts in your decade on AVS? Time perhaps you made a few bucks. I could see you doing some blogging for me. I’m planning to add a few bloggers. With some sort of revenue share, most likely, on the banners that I place in the blogs. email me, if you would like to discuss: reviewer@projectorreviews.com thanks -1
