I wish I had a copy of the Hulk to watch the scene R. Harkness is referring to, but I don't (that's probably the only thing that movie is useful for).

Oh, yeah, I also wanted to say that for me personally, I'm VERY interested to hear if there is a black level improvement in the 6g OVER the pio 5g's rather than comparing them to panny or fuji. Those comparisons will happen and will work themselves out. For the initial looks...I'm more interested in the level of improvement, if any, over the 5g's. Although I understand that Eelton had a fuji previously, so that's what he used for comparison. I'm just throwing in a request for the next round.

There's a scene in The Hulk that I often use to test judder - it's a shot wherein the camera dollys by a bunch of machinery, which is brutal for eliciting judder. It's not perfectly smooth on my Panasonic, but it's smooth enough not to be distracting. But on every Pioneer I've tested the judder has been significantly more pronounced and distracting (especially when the 3:3 was engaged).

I don't know why this is so, but that's what I keep seeing. I'll be bringing that scene to test out the new 6gen Pioneers.

Just kidding.

Swivel base; much more flexible user adjustments including individual colors, extra video mode ("PURE" - remains to be seen what it is), 5 vs. 3 color temp modes, Active DRE, and separate day and night callibration modes; 2 yr. vs. 1 yr. warranty; possibly better quality control in the factory; resale value of the Elite name.

All this for only about $200-300 more than I could get the 5060 for right now. That gap will likely widen later but, for that small difference now, it is well worth it to me, even for the swivel, individual color controls, and extra warranty by themselves.

I hope this doesn't conflict with forum rules, but I am purchasing this the 5060 or the 1130 this week and if I can get the 1130 for just a couple hundred more, that is well worth it.

Gotta work...will try to get my impressions up soon.

Nope. Really did eval the 6Gen today. But I'm under an avalanche of work (partly because of taking time off to eval the Pioneer ). Will try and get back later today/tonight.
