I am all for more lumens in 3d, but even in the current state of these JVCs, we can still get a VERY good 3d experience at 110" or more. My 40 has truly taken my HT to the next level as far as the 3d goes and I am SO glad I did not wait another year like I was planning. Having said that, I might upgrade again next year if there are big strides in lumens/ghosting, but until then I get to enjoy what is honestly the best overall 3d I have ever seen
Some of the 3d experiences I have had (Polar Express, HTTYD, Avatar, Open Season, some of the IMAX films, etc........) in my HT have been just amazing and like I said things have really been brought to the next level even with this entry level of 3d.I have a friend that works up at Coors by the way and he really enjoys his job............good "benefits" I hear OFF TOPIC...............I had 2 mind blowing audio movie experiences last night. If you guys have not checked out Scott Pilgrim and The Last Air Bender, do so! Both have reference audio and both are standouts as far as LFE.............2 of the best for audio of the 2010 blu rays I have listened to movie wise. Air Bender has a scene right near the end that ranks as one of the most amazing LFE moments I have ever experienced in my HT! Those who have seen it know the scene I am sure...........give this a rent (the movie is crappy IMO, so give it a rental to see if you like enough to buy which you probably wont  ) Scott Pilgrim was mind blowing as well with tons of ear candy throughout.........lots of great demo caliber audio with the big one being the band/twin battle...........amazing!For any audio/bass heads who have not seen these 2 movies, check them both out! |
I agree about the movie as well...........I will be adding this to my collection (I had a rental last night) since I thought the movie was surprisingly good...........loved all the retro type game sounds and just the sound mix in general really captured the tone/feel of the film. Having said that, it is certainly worth a rent just for the audio IMO. The LFE in particular is great as is the rest of the sound, but that last scene that I mentioned is truly one of the "epic" LFE moments up there with the best IMHO. I had remotes falling off the couch, house shaking, etc.......When I went upstairs, my "ex" was up there hanging out and she asked "WTF just happened down there??......the whole house was vibrating!
".........so in summary, even as big of a bomb as this was (and it really was), IMO it is still worth a watch just for the audio.........one of the better tracks (esp in the low end) of 2010 IMHO, and has the single greatest LFE moment of any 2010 track that I have listened to. Just my opinion though and I am sure some would disagree, but check it out when you are caught up with your other films.

This is analogous to walking into a hot room from being out in the cold and having your glasses fog up. With the projector, you want to 'warm' it up gradually this first time to avoid damage to the internals from condensation. I would recommend waiting ~2 hrs with the box at room temp b4 switching it on (if indeed it's coming to you pretty frozen).

My 3 x 4 is about 6 x 8 feet, 9 x 16 about 6 x 10.5 with the lens at the same zoom ratio. To get full scope I zoom up to the full 12 foot width now. Obviously that loses some brightness. Do I understand this correctly? S A M 33 |

As far as resolution, to get full advantage of every pixel available out of your RS40 in 2.35:1 scope movies, the better option is to use the AR lens, since the PJ will V-stretch and crop out the black bars allowing all the pixels to be used on the vertically stretched image, rather than waste pixels on black bars. So it's real resolution pixels, not perceived. This does NOT mean you are not getting a razor sharp 1920x1080 when you zoom, because you are, you're just wasting 30% of your pixels on dead black space. |
