Official LaserVue Owners thread - Page 76

There is no guarantee his set would be replaced - either with an L75-A91 or the new model. If the set can be repaired, that is usually what they will do. If you take your vehicle to an auto dealer for warranty service, they don't normally give you a new one.

I use a Chroma 5 profiled from an i1Pro.

Not your colorimeter, your source device for your patterns. Signal generator, Bluray player, PS3, what?

AccuPel DVG-5000 signal generator.

If they can't fix it, it will be replaced, and probably not by an A91 this late in the game. If they can fix it then there is a usable TV. No loss, only a potential gain.

The reason I ask, is because while the TV appears to accept both, the 3D adapter only accepts video level (16-235) RGB, and will crush blacks if fed YCbCr. I don't believe it can detect it.

I know from experience that the adapter will not crush blacks with these PS3 settings, but it will with YCbCr.

Did you take your before and after readings in RGB Video?

HI can someone tell me what setting they have video noise for 480i channel? off, low, med or high?

I made those PS3 changes but the video doesn't appear to look as good using RGB--is that usually the case?

The only test equipment I have is my eyes, but there's no contest between a 3D BluRay sent from my Panasonic player direct checkerboard vs the PS3 going through the converter. The "native" send is has much more pop.

BUT, the converter is the only way to send from the PS3 so I'll take it

They should not look different. They are simply different means of displaying the same content. Check your contrast and brightness settings, just in case.

Here is an article I just came across that might be of some interest to the readers of this thread.

I still think it was a terrible idea to merge all the laservue threads. Why not just do the same with all the mitsubishi dlp threads?

There was only one other thread and it had fewer than 40 posts.

Any reviews on the A94 yet?

Trying to decide between the WD-73838 and the L75-A91.
I've found plenty of reviews for the WD-73838, has anyone seen any on the
L75-A91???
Any input would be appreciated.

There are plenty of user reviews within this thread – the overwhelming majority of which are positive. There is also a very favorable professional review on the original LaserVue model (the L65-A90) that I would be happy to e-mail you if you send me your address via PM.

Unless there was something magical that I did not see, the LaserVues were not really any better than the lamp sets. Without warranties these used sets are huge risks.

I agree on both counts.

Never buy used electronics.

I completely disagree with that sort of a blanket statement, especially coming from someone who has a very vested interest in the customer purchasing new equipment. I've bought plenty of used electronic equipment over the years and had excellent results doing so, but one needs to be careful about what they buy and who they buy it from.

That said, I would be very leery of purchasing a used LaserVue TV from a big vendor like Amazon, especially if it didn't include a warranty.

I have not had good luck buying someone else's cast offs. Your mileage may vary.

Fancy that, at the time you had these threads merged the A94 had not even been released! Even now they are still not out in very large quantities and not one person has posted about owning one yet, so I totally see your reasoning.

I mean seriously I can't believe I would have to explain why it would be better to have separate threads for these TV's, especially considering the rather major changes done to it. Although for some reason you don't consider a new screen and several built in features from previous models to be all that different???

Obviously, the mods disagree with you.

Did you take your before and after readings in RGB Video or YCbCr?

Not quite sure where you are coming from. I am a member, just like you. I am not the moderator. I do not have the authority to merge threads. I was simply commenting on what had happened. I am absolutely positive that some L74-A94 sets will be turning up in a few days.

I guess this post gave me the impression you did the consolidation. Sorry for the false assumption.

The 3D adapter only accepts video level (16-235) RGB, and will crush blacks if fed YCbCr.

I finally now have a Panasonic BluRay player (110) and the Mits 3d Adapter, so I can do a direct comparison between native Checkerboard and "Full" 3D via the adapter to the LV. Interesting results. Using "Grand Canyon Adventure" 3D disc amazing intro with the water splashes, there is a definite resolution difference between Checkerboard and Full. Full is definitely sharper at that huge screen size but it appears the 3D is better in Checkerboard. Also, the black level seems more in tune with what it should be going direct Checkerboard (possibly no surprise since the the Pany defaults to the Yb mode).

My question since I'm sure quite a few of you have a Pany (Checkerboard) player attached to the LV: Do you use Checkerboard or the adapted Full version for output? If Full version, what do you have the settings at? The main ones are a "lighter/darker" black level switch, the "3D button" custom picture adjustments (with -5 to +3 distance)--and of course the 4 HDMI colorspace modes (2-Yb @ 4:4:4 and 4:4:2 and 2-RGB @ Standard and Limited). I know for the PS3, the mode needs to be changed to RGB to satisfy the adapter, but does the same go for the Pany BluRay? If so, which RGB mode?

Speaking of the PS3, how can a 4 year old 1.3 HDMI device send out frame-packed (1.4) 3D that frustratingly won't pass through my receiver!? It must have something to do with borrowing the audio bandwidth (only lossy codecs in 3D) for the hi-rez video... Oh those wizards at Sony--but it would've been nice if they just incorporated "1.3" 3D versions (side by side and checkerboard) and kept the lossless audio. That sound is a big part of the new games. AND I wouldn't have to worry about getting another receiver just because of 3D.

No flag, no foul. Apology accepted.

I believe the post before yours would suggest RGB Limited.
