The emitter is the same as last years, correct?

And everybody I cause to buy it, calls or emails me thanking me for the rrecommendation with a comment to the efect that they didn't believe before they got it how much better it made there projector. Have I made myself clear. Crystal I hope. Now where is that wall?

I have repeatedly stated that a Lumagen will raise the level of almost any projector even if one didn't use the CMS system at all.

With respect to the CMS it allows besides nail the chromacity points it allows 21 point gray scale and gama adjustments. Most projectors don't.

Outside the CMS there are so many things most projectors can't do.

All sorts of noise and sharpness and texture controls. Ring free scaling and man does that make an obvious improvement. Deinterlacing with incredible sharpness at the cost of a little extra comb filtering and even then you have a choice of the defree of trade off between the two. The list goes on and on. and I am not going to debate it herebecause it is not debatable. I have had more projectors thasn Zombie, from inexpensive to expensive and the Lumagen has never failed to improve any of them.

At the presenty sale price of a Mini, its an absolute no brainer and if anyone thinks differently they are dead wrong. Over the hundreds I have sold, not one has returned it.

I am not going to try and determine if the choice should be a 45 and a mini or a 55 which would cost a hundreds more. I would add a mini to a 55 too. When I get a new projector, I just hook up the mini to it. Like the energizer bunny it just lasts and lasts elevating that new purchase.

Toe. The mitter is the same as last year's. An emitter is a slave repeater that changes an electrical sync to an IR sync or in some cases an RF signal. An emitter can add timing and puls options in essence allowing changes to more limited controls (3D brightness sync changes) offered in all 3D projetors. An emitter could change to be stronger but that's about it. The JVC emitter is plenty robust already.

Music Concert - Peter Gabriele in london with the 'New Blood Orchestra' - if anyone likes PG, this a must have disk. The DTS-HD 7.1 is unreal and the 3D is very cool, you are sitting right next to the violin players, etc. They re-arranged his music with a modern orchestra.. very cool.

I have this Peter Gabriel 3d disc on the way and should get it any day now. Glad to hear it is a good one! Have all his DVD concerts and they are killer.

Still need to spring for Sammy's Adventure!

it's good to hear the lens memory is accurate, this sounds like it will work great on your screen.

I just hope I get decent lamp life. Going to be very careful about how many times I turn on/off the projector, the temperature I use it at, and the UPS with AVR that it is hooked up to.

Not because of that, it's because the lx1330b one is just better and should be able to take contrast readings as well.

Just curious...it seems only our neighbors in the US have gotten their calls notifying them that their unit is shipping.
I'm telling ya, it's not easy being Canadian

Man I can't wait to get mine!

Sorry for the little rant

I've also seen mention of the idea that perhaps JVC is unaware of the alarming amount of bulb failures which have been reported by users here on the avs forums, implying that JVC is not in the know about the AVS forums.

Well out of curiousity last night I contacted:

Display Division National Sales Manager:
Bill Birdsall

and asked him if he could give me the contact info for a local JVC authorized dealer around my area (for some reason when I put my zip code into JVC's dealer locator online it simply gave me Mr. Birdsall's info). Well to my surprise Mr. Birdsall simply told me to contact AVS and order from them. He asked if I was aware of the AVS forums and I said of course and he then suggested ordering from them. So this without a doubt means that JVC is familar with the AVS forums.... whether or not they monitor them to see how their projector owners are talking about their products I do not know, but they are surely aware of the forums.

Just thought I'd share that info.

This is an important consideration for me. We use the projector as our full time tv. At least 3k hours a year. What am i missing?
Thanks,
Jason
