As mentioned early we received a Titan Reference in the Lab with a Supernova 80/85 (.8 gain even luminosity wide angle gray screen) 12 foot wide .
Our first impressions were unfavorable about the screen since it is a gray screen and the screen rejects ambient light only in the vertical direction which DNP should have clearly let us know would be the case. DNP is definitely not in the same class as Stewart or even SMX from a customer service standpoint.
That being said it's A REALLY IMPRESSIVE 85 DEGREE HALF ANGLE VIEW FROM THE TOILET on a bathroom to the left of front wall. The screen does help ansi reflection reduction and after calibration and s-gamma implementation we have decided not to return it back to the manufacturer.
In my initial impressions I had expressed noticing a huge gap between this projector and the modded Barco's. As reported I was not getting that 70 mm look that captivates everyone that sees these superkontrast units. Ok now here I am going to retract that statement (or qualify it at least).
We loaded an S shape gamma (based on a 2.2) and voila DEPTH OUT OF THE WAZOO. Now we have that lovely 70mm depth. Sure the dmd's in the consumer units are a trifle noisier, the pixel density a little less, more grit and haze, the color (despite a super effective xenon mode that uses a filter to simulate a TIP7 color calibrated DCI unit- SIM2 owners eat your heart out)the color is still not the same as one of those explosive xenon 2kw, but darn what a difference a gamma curve makes. No longer it seems like a projector from 2008, at least now it looks like 2010 technology.
I can now recommend this projector as the creme de la creme of UHP projectors, with 6,260 seq cont and 3,100 ansi lumens it is the UHP refrence projector with which to compare all other uhp projectors next week. So guys do stop by the Digital Projection Booth and check it out.
