Truth statement: My kids normally hit the hay at 8pm but we always watch a bluray kid's movies starting at 7:30 and then stop it right at 8pm- tonight my 2yr old and 4 yr old talked me into letting them stay up to 9pm to finish Bug's Life.... I am not the world's best dad by no means for giving in- but I did so with aand with no regrets.... the clarity of the picture was simply amazing. I can't wait for them to get up tomorrow and ask to watch more movies

Kimwyn and Hhaller- I will leave the tech stuff to D-Nice when he gets a chance to send me the reports I will be glad to share as always- I feel he may be better suited to answer the specifics of comparison with the previous 500 settings. Sorry- I know the journey to PQ heaven is hard.

Does the 111fd compete with the 500 mono-e-mono? Yes, until the ISF is present on the 500m also

But if you want the best, then D-Nice is the best. And you'd be willing to wait however long it took for him to come to your area, because it will be worth it.

Disclaimer: I have tried very hard to maintain consistency in both my opinions and my postings and at times the written word does not tend to offer the best clarification of a statement and/or comment. I write this because:
Last night I had D-Nice over to my home and after some last minute adjustments, Turbe worked over time to help us upgrade my panels to the highest possible settings available (P-ISF?). The results were jaw-dropping an ah inspiring for me and even my wife. The calibration upgrade of the 500m and 600m were absolutely the best investment I have made ever since I made the purchase of them several months ago.
We tend to give credence to "professionals" whom try hard to impress their opinion on others and in turn sometimes they do so for personal gain and/or competitive degrading. I am guilty of stepping outside my comfort and believing information provided to me when in reality I should have simply stuck with my gut and believe the experts I invited to my home- in addition to my own eyes.
The upgrade of the 600m was first and the results were amazing as the POP on the screen was completely noticeable on both the Day and Night settings... I have always been leery of the benefits of any upgrade- NO LONGER. I can not wait to leave work early and get some viewing time in with my family, even my wife called today to tell me she saw a huge difference in the day settings over the previous Pure.
D-Nice arrived around 8pm and finished the 600 by around 10:30pm or so. I then watched parts of Underworld, Cars, WALL-E, and then I watched all of Underworld: Evolution while he worked on the 500, the pop and the sizzle of the 600 picture made me feel like I was watching it for the first time (after watching it over 200 times minimum), my wife and I are vamp fans and Underworld is our all-time fave.
The 500m he finished around 1am and we moved it back into my MBR and once D left and I grabbed a snack and got ready for bed, I popped in Evolution once more to compare after watching it on the 600 and low and behold I didn't go to bed until after 2am because the 500 was so beautiful and inspiring that I now BELIEVE the panel is and always will be the one panel who rules them ALL- Hands down. Right it down, document it, I will sign a waiver stating I was WRONG WRONG WRONG... the 500m is and was the best of the best. The black was phenomenal and simply breath-taking. I can't gush enough... sorry for strangling the forum but I wanted to express my thoughts about the upgrade, D-Nice, Turbe and the experience in general- rest assured I have no regrets except questioning those whom know these panels better than anyone. Bravo to each of you.

Yes, the 500M is a better PQ and black levels are jaw dropping to say the least...

Does D-Nice do tours? I didn't see that in Turbe's list. Would love for him to visit South Florida. South Beach is beautiful in January. Super Bowl and Pro Bowl are both here this year.

I guess for me if it's a situation where a side by side is the only way to tell then maybe it's not worth it. I'm also thinking any glow I get in a dark seen even if it is better than my 111 is gonna bother me. Someone should send me a new 500 so I can do a side by side.

Well I know what's going to happen. You're finally going to sell your 111FD and decide to get a 500M only to discover all the 500M's are sold and no longer available!Speaking of 500M, I'll be away from mine for a 1.5 months..sniff.
