What is the setting that should be used when using a HTPC with:
- Blu-Ray content to play
- Media Player Classic Home Cinema
- madVR as output renderer (set to PC levels 0-255 as RGB output levels)
- LAV video filter (RGB set to 'untouched' in LAV video filter)
- NVIDIA GTX460 with default 1080p23 profile BUT with n vidia fix during installation (for further information about this fix check http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s...post&p=1328716)
2. Color Space
I can select YCbCr (4:4:4), YCbCr (4:2:2) or RGB. It seems that only RGB seems to show the correct colours. I thought Blu-Ray specification was 4:2:2?

Hi

I am running MPCHC with MadVR and LAV splitter + lav video decoder + ffdshow video decoder and audio decoder.
I had a lot of issues getting the whites not to clip amd blacks not to be grey but here is how it should be to preserve btb and prevent clipping.

PC
- madVR properties PClevels (0-255) or black will not be displayed properly (i know it is not "video correct" to send pc levels for video, but its the only way to not wash out blacks)
- Graphic card (Nvidia) -desktop colour settings - digital colour format = RGB
JVC
Inputsignal - HDMI = Super white (to prevent clipping whiter than white for movies and also IE whites get ****ed up with "standard ...totally overblown")
Input signal - colour space = auto (works excellent)
Picture adjust - advanced - colour space = standard (since videos are not recorded with a wide gamut)

Funny though - 2 places they name colour space - guess they just made a mistake smile.gif

Settings checked with several test patterns - all checking out as they should.

Regards
Boogieman

Thanks to a good deal on a b-stock from AVS (and Mr Garrett) I purchased a RS45U and a Chief mount. I just finished up my 2:40.1 Seymour XD screen (124" x 51.5") and fired up the projector. I am running it though a DVDO iscan Duo, but don't have it set up, from a new Panasonic BT500.

I have only made a slight adjustment to brightness and contrast and lowered the AP to -10 (I don't know what I am doing with the settings on the projector or the DVDO.....yet.) But that aside.....and even though the theater isn't done.....I fired up our first movie EVER (Fifth Element) and HOLY SMOKES does the picture look good.

I can't wait to get more informed about calibrating and will likely order a Calman setup.

I have a Sony 52" in the living room and this super big picture looks as good if not better from the JVC!

I am sooooo glad I got this projector. Oh and I have never owned a projector before, so this is my first. smile.gif

I was also pleased with the brightness WITHOUT turning the lamp to high. Normal looks good to me. I did take the bulb out (had 2 hours on it from JVC) and the last number was an 03, but it didn't have a cooling fin.

I believe i got a bulb issue, still within the 1000h warranty (currently 800h mostly in normal mode - not high)
The picture flickers (very rapid - not possible to catch on camera) when projector gets warm. Have cleaned filter.

Been searching the thread and found various stuff about cooling fins and stuff on some bulbs, but can someone summarize - is there an id nr or something i can check if I am gonna claim a new bulb?

The flicker comes and goes it seems like.
When watching very bright scenes for a long time it usualy comes.
Just saw a 2h movie and it disapeared (crank 2) during movie....hmmm i also opened a windows since it is warm inside....heat issue? About 24celsius here so not uber hot..

HAve tried different sources and HDMI cables but the same so it is a PJ or bulb issue.

Should i turn pj off? Can a blown bulb destroy the pj? (warranty?)

I pressed "lens position reset" and the text "reset data" popped up. Cancelled

So is there anyone that is 100% sure which one it is to use to move lens shift to zero (not setting current position as zero)?

Try running the projector in high lamp mode for around 10 hours and see if that stops the flicker when you change back to normal lamp mode.

Having the same display setup, ie, X30 and Duo, Chromapure auto calibration also works really well.

Is there a reason, you need it set back to zero? Setting to zero does not help as far as setup goes.

Dear All,
I have just sold my HD-1 which I have used since 2008. Is it a good choice to get the X30 ?
I am using OPPO 95 and throwing 80" screen. Light controlled room. Would like to watch both 2D and 3D materials.

Thanks for any comments.

The X30 is a great 2d projector, but very mediocre at 3d so it depends on how much 3d you plan to watch (and what type.......3d gaming is a joke on the X30 frown.gif ) and how important 3d is to you since there are much better options for that which also have good 2d. I own a 45 and love it by the way for 2d, but I am pretty much completely turned off with the 3d at this point due to ghosting and flicker.

Thanks very much for the reply and comments. So sorry that I have serious Rainbow eyes and couldn't stand the single chip DLP projector. Will the Sony VW95 have better performance with higher price tag ?

I would probably choose the Epson 5010 if you are primarily wanting better 3D, and if you have room for it and money to waste, then possibly also grab you a B-stock JVC RS-40 (meaning buy 2 projectors).

Sony vw95 will be better than the RS-45 in some respects, black levels will be close but the RS-45 will get there without the IRIS, and the Rs-45 is a little bit brighter. Overall the VW95 is the better projector in some ways (motion, calibration, poorer sources), but at more than twice the price (especially if going for a B-stock JVC). Although the vw95 does have better 3d than the RS-45, it's still not ghost free and it's NOT that bright in 3D mode compared to an Epson 5010.

Have you tried DLP's known to have less RBE, or did you look at 3x and 4x color wheels, because I cannot live with those slower wheels either, but I can live with 5x and 6x color wheels. At a 6x color wheel and with the projector at the correct brightness, I see very little RBE even though I'm quite sensitive.

If worried about 3D and 2D, I'd go the two projector route before spending that much on the vw95, because the vw95 is also not the best 3D projector due to lower brightness and some ghosting. I like having two projectors better than one for various reasons. If I were most worried about 3D and had to just pick one model being very RBE sensitive, I'd probably go with the Epson 5010.

I have a 120" 235:1 screen with a 1.4 gain, what would be a good throw distance if I were ceiling mounting the projector?
using http://www.eliteprojectorcalculator.com/ it is giving a mounting distance of 19' with a 1.5x zoom.

I noticed someone mentioning 17'?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It doesn't make a huge difference to where you mount it, farther back gives slightly darker blacks (but with a JVC not that much), closer up gives a brighter image.

I would probably mount it either in the middle of the throw range or near closest throw. The only thing you gotta be aware of is ensuring you aren't using too much lens shift in combination with the wrong zoom settings, so that when you switch between 2.35 and 16:9 it could cause the lens memory to run out of room. I don't think you will be, but I am just saying keep that issue noted.

When you say closest throw you mean shortest throw as in shortest distance between projector and screen?

I haven't mounted mine yet but I have a 120" wide 16x9 screen and I planned on mounting it between 14' and 15'

I am guessing that you are talking about the Carada Brilliant White fabric. With the actual (measured) gain of that fabric I would short throw mount the projector, you could use the brightness to allow you to stay in low lamp mode longer.

Dear Coderguy,

Thanks so much for your comments/inputs. I have borrowed a Mitsubish 8700D DLP machine to try out. Haven't got time to set it up yet. Would like to see how bad is my RBE in home conditions of mine ? I am using OS Pure matt II plus 80" screen. Any recommendations for the settings on the 8700D ?
As a previous owner of JVC. I am very much delighted on its performance for 2D materials. Hope this trial out will help me to choose the right replacement to my HD-1.

Is the 8700d a foreign model?
The same as the Mitsubishi hc7800?

If yes, then check the Mits hc7800 thread, as I have no idea as I'm not that familiar with that projector.

I've been loving my JVC RS45, but I have a question.

First the point: My picture is getting noticably dimmer, and dimmer. Yup. We have all probably been there.

Details: I have about 300 hours on the bulb. It is the original bulb that came with the JVC RS45 that I bought (pre-order) from AVS late last year.

Question 1: Is JVC doing anything for dimming bulbs or just blown ones?

Question 2: What is the criteria for getting a replacement?

Question 3: Is it a call to JVC tech support or somewhere else if they are replacing noticably dimming bulbs?

Any assistance would be great. I am hoping that they are going to help me out, but I know that I am well past the 90 days. Heck, I didn't even really fire the projector up until well past having it for 90 days due to theater room construction.

Thanks!

PS. Yes, I searched. 260 results in this thread, a lot more in other threads and maybe I missed it somewhere, but after an hour I decided to post this.

I was wondering the same thing, although I did not buy it from AVS. After searching, I came across someone saying JVC may have raised the limit to 1000 hours?
