Just a quick note, we’re still behind. Not all the images done, and I haven’t even started the all critical Image Quality page, and the summary. It will publish tomorrow late afternoon. For sure. I promise, I think.
Sorry.
On the bright side, I lost the afternoon and early evening today, thanks to the expected visit of folks from Panasonic. They brought me a shiny PT-AE4000. Looks great. We also viewed a few clips with the Panny side by side with the Epson 9500UB and the JVC RS25.
Sorry, I’ll get to that after the RS25 review gets done. Back to the grind for me. -a

Intro, and conclusions by Art
Greetings all, this is one of those times I get caught between a rock, and a hard place, situations. Several months ago, one of our larger dealer advertisers mentioned to me that they were introducing their own line of lower cost fixed projector screens. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings,
I’m a couple of days late, but hopefully this “first look” was worth the wait. The JVC RS25 arrived, and headed over to Mike’s for calibration before I ever got it out of the box. Mike took an extra day, playing with it, and got it back to me mid-week. I’ve been watching extensively, but only in my main theater. Still haven’t lugged the JVC DLA-RS25 home theater projector into the “testing room”/second theater.
Let’s start with the obvious. The JVC DLA-RS25, and it’s “consumer division” twin, the HD950, pretty much Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings all,
I had hoped to post (and mentioned in a previous blog) the Epson Home Cinema 8500UB and Pro Cinema 9500UB review this afternoon, but encountered a few difficulties. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings home theater projector fans.
OK, here’s what I’ve got for you. I received a sample (no, not production) of the Epson Pro Cinema 9500UB projector. For those of you not familiar with Epson’s projector marketing, they have the Home Cinema 8500UB sold through authorized online dealers and local dealers to0. The Pro Cinema 9500UB, which is virtually identical, on the other hand is sold only through local installing dealers. The Home Cinema 8500UB is finished in an off white, the Pro Cinema 9500UB has a dark charcoal case.
Other differences: The Pro Cinema 9500UB supports 3rd party anamorphic lenses, is ISF certified, Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings,
The Home Cinema 8100 and Pro Cinema 
9100 projectors are very similar. In fact there are only a few differences which I’ll touch on below. Let’s start with the Home Cinema 8100.
The first news is very good - though price is not finalized, something like $1599 MAP pricing is likely. If that’s the case, it would be several hundred below the Home Cinema 6100 it replaces, rebates and things, notwithstanding. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings all,
Just wanted to warn you all, that I’m on a family vacation this week. I won’t be able to answer comments that contain questions, nor emails that come in to projectorreviews.com.
Hang in there. To quote the “Governator” (as we call Arnold out here in CA) - “I’ll be baaack!” -art

Greetings all!
I have now installed the 1.09 firmware upgrade for the Epson Home Cinema 6500UB and Pro Cinema 7500UB, and have preliminary comments regarding the CFI - creative frame interpolation changes. What a difference! Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings everyone!
OK, time to weigh back in on the Epson, and for that matter general issue of projector focus.
I’m about ready to bury this issue. For Epson owners and those considering - they have a fix. How good, I don’t know, as I haven’t seen one, but I’ll take their word that they have reduced the issue to what should be relative insignificance (by my standards). Below I’ll discuss two things - defocusing and also edge to edge focus. Then I’ll get back to the Epsons. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »
