Screenshot War!!!!!!!! - Page 69

Looking good as usual Cliff and Mike. Bob yours are kicken to.

Colors look very rich and saturated on CRT yet they remain natural looking. Like an oil painting.

It appears Ken is A master magician with them G90's, his work with cliffy's stack is just amazzzzzing magic. I wish us lowly Aussies had A clone of Ken to work his magic on the Downunder CRT's....

Thanks, Alan. They truly do speak for themselves.

You would be appalled to see what a fellow calibrator says about screenshots on a certain other forum, how little he believes in them...



Nice to be here, among those who DO see!




Mr Bob

Fly me in. Whatever little-known intricacies I don't know about the G90 series so far, I will pick up from either Ken or William Phelps, who is also a master of them and has promised me a tutorial on my next G90 on the fine points of a certain hidden service menu in them. He has a line of Faroudja projectors named after him - the William Phelps line - which he personally supertweaks before they are sent out. All this in trade for as yet unnamed future technical favors between us -

I'll get yours rockin' just like Cliff's -

Of course Ken has first shot at your displays, wherever they may be, if he wants to go there. He's the one who has set the standard here, with the very first shot on this thread. I bow to his obvious talent and experience, as Cliff's shots keep attesting to. He deserves to be at the head of the class.

But if he's not available, I am.


Would still love to get my hands on Cliff's 9" gun 65" Mit, the one in his living room -




Mr Bob

Ken,Ken Ken who the hell is Ken ? Is he like some sort of superstar that doesn't even use his last name anymore ?

Yes that's him , I think Ken "Whitcomb" was also the guy that worked his magic on that Art bloke's old G90 stack before he replaced them with A 3 chiper DLP,you know the guy with the Awesome home theatre....

I was trying to get Ken here to see what he can do for my blend, but seems he keeps procrastinating. Cliff, would you get on his back and nudge him in the right direction? So if he does come down under, I'm sure we could organise a calibration tour for him if others are interested.

They are trying in europe to get him there too maybe he should start his "world tour" !!
Hes become a rock star of sorts!!!!

yep, this is an AC 8" CRT projector at 1080P /60hz

I have met some great people via this hobby but I must say that William Phelps is among the top on my list.

I had him work on an LCOS theater for a friend & was most impressed.
He moved on from the CRT world but if I were blending G-90 CRT's on the West Coast he would be call #1. My guess would be that his interest would again be piqued by a digital input CRT blend.

Just show him your top setup Mark and I bet it would get William's interest.

How are you going with your high end blend Gino??....

To be clear. He never came to Dallas but worked on the JVC PJ & met with the Oppo folks on our behest all from the "Hangar Deck" in Mountain View, CA.

I have met him in person at a few shows in some capacity w Faroudja.

I decided to get creative this weekend and set up 1080P @ 60hz on my Sony G-70 here are some screen shots I am using a cheap Canon SD-400 camera the actual picture of the G-70 is much better.

So long as I don't run into any more problems it will be up and running this weekend. If all goes to plan, there will definitely be a thread up too.

Looking good! How is the BD of Patton?


Mike

That is excellent news, I will definitely be looking forward to your thread Gino....

We'll see soon enough. I've changed the bellows and C-element, so I think the leaky tube should be fixed now. Glycol has been sitting in it for about 100 hours now without sign of problems, so I'm going to put it back in soon along with the replacement HVPS and HDM, so hopefully all will fire up fine.

The time off waiting has given me a chance to play around with the Lumagen Radiance I just picked up so that I can dial in the primaries/secondaries and adjust gamma and greyscale perfectly. It's a nice bit of gear and will complement with VP50Pro and DVX8022 well. (hehe, think I have the video processor side covered for now )

Viewing Patton on my Denon 3800 and the G-70.Patton is nothing short of spectacular. It's up there with Grand Prix HD DVD and The Searchers.

It's great to see these older movie re-released in HD. I just watched Blazing Saddles on HD-DVD in respect of one of comedies greats Harvey Korman who passed a few days ago. Here is one of my favorites from The Carol Burnett Show.

Mike

So will I.

Just for the record, I actually chatted with William before I did my G90 stack. He specifically recommended against doing it instead recommended an LCoS projector.

Hey Gino - I am looking forward to seeing your screenshots!

I have made some progress here too. I will post some screenshots when I have some time! :-)

Hey guys, remember to share the goodies w/ those of us who are "elsewhere"

I've just posted this on a separate thread:

I ran a little experiment tonight. I've finally set up a very decent blend with my CRT rig (2 x modded, frankenyoked 9500LC Ultra w/ HD10F lenses).

I used my digital projector (Panasonic AE2000) to display a reference grid to align geometry on the Marquees. After some initial testing, I decided to converge the three projectors (the CRT blend and the Panny).

WOW. Here's some pictures!

I made a lot of pictures - however I didn't use the self-timer on the camera and most of them are defocused/blurred. I will take a few more with the timer when time allows!

I haven't measured the ftL I got when stacking the CRT and digital but all I can say OH BOY! This is BRIGHT!!!
