Official Sony VPL-VW95ES Owners Thread - Page 50

Yep. Supposedly it's a 72 hour replacement so that sounds about right.

If you have a light controlled room you have got to see how good a 2.4 or 2.5 gamma looks on this thing! To get there though I think you need to calibrate it yourself. I doubt any of the presets would do this with any reasonable accuracy.

Give me directions and I will pick up the 95 just to help you out

Has anyone found just the glasses? Im assuming that you get the kit and can find the glasses separate

We have the kits in stock, cheaper than Amazon and have some glasses as well.

Sorry I been been away but have had no time to post, been calling a zillion custo,ers about their JVC projectors shipping this week. Been taking a lot of 95ES orders too.

Do we know if the vw95 has a different lens than the vw90? I thought the two projectors were similar or even identical in many ways.

Here is an example of the blue CA across the entire screen.

wow, for me this looks like a bad convergence!!

What does it look like if you shift blue up with the convergence controls? What does a single pixel grid look like?

Well at least there is a shiny new unit waiting for ya.

A few days ago I commented how I liked the contrast boost (seemingly at least) that Projection Mode 2 in the Motion Enhancer section adds. I wanted to comment that it is important not to use this setting with 1080p24 material. It makes sense too when you think about it... My understanding is that the Projection Mode adds black frames, and if there are already 24 full frames and the pj is operating at 24sf then there is no room for the frames. Makes me wonder why they even enable this option when watching 1080p24.

Also does anyone know what the Film 1 and Film 2 modes do under the Expert Menu? I believe I have mine set to OFF. And from what I remember I didn't like the picture after turning on either of those modes, although I didn't check that with various resolutions.

Then I move the real blue pixel off red and green and get a blue halo all around a yellowish pixel... Not good.

Was it like this from the start? I remember you mentioning it in your review but did not realize it was to this extent.

From first boot up! Does yours look like this at all?

The Sony will work in your scenerio easily...It is not just 1.6 ... I have a 150" screen and I'm back 20ft and can go quite a bit smaller or larger.

If he is at max throw with his 20, the Sony wont work in the same mounting spot.

Does anyone's vw95 have that much chromatic aberration like the picture I posted?

As I have understanded it - when 1080P24 it takes the 24 frames and send the first frame 4 times and then the next frame 4 times and so on ( operate at 96 hz ) when DFI activated,I think it send the first frame, then a dark frame, then the first frame again and then a dark frame - then the 2. frame , a dark frame etc. ( still operate at 96 hz ) - dos that make sense ? ( It relates very good with what I see - 24 frames send 2 times ( making it a "48 hz" picture ) with dark frames in betwen, who makes the 48 hz "blinks" more visible to the eye, but makes the picture sharp defined under very fast movements. When you turn it off , we get 96 hz "blinks" ( but only the 24 different frames ), wich we cant see and thereby the picture seems completly stable - but our eyes will blend the frames together under very fast movements, so it looks more "blury" then !

What do you think ?

AFAIR if the film mode 1 or 2 isnt activated (set to "off" ) then the motionflow ( FI ) is deactivated, even if you set it to low or high ! but Im not sure, but it should be easy to test

I was playing with the panel shift and also testing with the AVS HD709 with the C4, C5 and C6 frame. I did see some color leak around the single pixel lines for all colors. I will try to take some picture tonight.

How did you get this single pixel string display? Is it available on AVS HD709 patterns?

Yep. Would have to move Sony 95 forward at least 4'. Which would put it directly over my second row. Which I really don't want to do (however it is doable).

Yeah, it was not even close in my setup either vs where my JVC is. I would have to move the Sony up ~3ft as I remember which simply would not work with my HP screen!

I thought I mentioned this earlier, but I don't see my response so I'm posting it again.

I do not see anything like that whatsoever. I had to move red and blue with my pixel shift. After I did, the convergence looked exceptional.

Sounds like you got a bad unit. Looking forward to hearing your impressions on the new one. When will you have a chance to pick it up and try it out?

What does the HP screen have to do with it?...It would be even better! You'd have more brightness for 3D and be able to calibrate perfectly for 2D. I don't see it as a problem. (you'll use any excuse not to shell out that extra $$ won't you?)...

The point is I would have to ceiling mount with the Sony vs doing my normal rear shelf mount and that means getting considerably less gain out of the HP screen since the closer the projector is to eye level, the more of the 2.8 gain you get. The shelf mount is MUCH closer to eye level vs doing a ceiling mount.

Whatever brightness advantage a closer mount would bring with the Sony with unity gain type screen would be offset by the fact that the 45 is brighter to begin with (for 2d at least, not sure about 3d) anyway

That is the other nice thing about the 7000 Chuck is I can rear shelf mount that pup as well which should give me squint inducing 3d brightness!

Hey!...quit picking apart your projector and "watch" the damn thing!...lol!
Was just curious...Do you ever watch movies or anything on it?...I think they have help groups for this kind of ailment... This projector comes from the factory pretty darn spot on...leave it alone!...keep your dad gum hands off it and watch the damn thing!...(there!...I feel much better now)...

7000 won't touch the Sony for 2D though...(trust me)...

No argument there

I saw the 95 today at a local dealer and was blown away. The 2D picture was amazing! I have a Sony VPL-60 (black pearl) now, I am seriously thinking about upgrading now. I wasn't sure if I would be able to see much of a difference, but the 95 is awesome. In my opinion it would be totally worth it, just have to save up a little.

Not SOWK's, I guess, and for over $5000, you don't want something that leaves you feeling bothered. Camera (DSLR) people send their cameras in for replacement or service for similar problems, so people check for stuff like misfocusing issues while they are still under warranty and/or can return the product. If I bought a $5000 camera I'd send it back if it couldn'treliably hit focus. Likewise, unusual lens behavior in a projector is a cause for action, if it will distract you for the next 4 yrs.

I agree, if you are going to spend that much money on something, it should be perfect, right? My OCD wouldn't let me enjoy it if it wasn't perfect. I am just thankful that I am still a novice compared to most of the posters in this thread, so maybe I might not notice things like that, or have the equipment to notice it. I guess I have to step up my game if I end up purchasing this projector.
