Hello everyone
The wm LUT treatment is now in black and white on the Meridian home page. I hope someone can get to see a unit with no ambient light and on a real screen like a Stutiotek 130. Meridians process probably assumes a color neutral screen.

I assume that this wm calibration includes uniformity optimization.

Still want to see an AB comparison. Still seems a lot of money to be able to tweak a curve compared with an off-board CMS. Luts still won't help gamut for those amongst us who don't like the color on the JVC.

I was reading this brochure a couple days ago, and the part I found interesting was:

"Superior colour rendition is made possible by an unusually broad colour space – the MF10’s colour rendering system exceeds the gamut of competing systems (see over)."

The picture on the next page shows a CIE color diagram with a "normal" gamut outlined in blue, overlaid with the MF10's gamut outlined in red. The MF10's gamut is identical to the normal gamut at both green and blue, but at red it's pulled down along the red-green line so that 100% red is more saturated and the hue is ever-so-slightly towards magenta.

One can assume that the "normal" gamut could be either REC709, SMPTE-C, or just a representation of the "average competitor's gamut," but it would be nice to find out exactly how the MF10's colors are compared to either of the standards I just listed. It seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to changing the LUTs (amongst other things) and then make one of the 3 primaries deviate from standards when that was one of the major criticisms of the RS1 and RS2.

I'd bet the actual gamut is near identical to the RS2. All the lut work will do is tweak grayscale linearity and gamma unless they have R,G,B C,M,Y and H,S,I Luts but I doubt the RS2 has enough silicon to handle the colorspace transforms.

The gamut might be the reason to wait for the MFxx based upon the RS20. Meridian´s projectors cost too much to be competitive. Still if there is a way to perfect the uniformity on the new d-ila projectors that is good news even if it comes from Meridian.

I received an e-mail from Wm a few days ago verifying that the MF10 benefits from LUT access which is good news. Unfortunately, Wm's Optimization is no longer offered to JVC owners.

I would also suspect that the colorspace is exactly the same as an HD100/RS2. But I'm surprised that they don't offer the RSVP2 as an option to correct the colors. Then again since it is Meridian-Faroudja, it would be pretty embarassing to have to resort to rebadging a DVDO VP to get the processing that is needed. An owner still has the option of buying their own RSVP2, but I doubt that will happen because most Meridian owners are not DIY'er types.
