I have a CIH lens now, not yet installed, so the screen is at least getting wider.

It's not; it's actually the way it was rendered in the movie. Here's a shot from my lowly Panny AX200 on a DIY 106" diag. Roc-Lon screen:

Art's first row from 14ft wide is 11ft.

Thanks for clarification. I always thought it was red but apparently not in all clips.

It is funny that my recent screenshots looked more orange than what I saw on my screen.
Dcams add their own.

I have a sugestion....

Lets do a compare.. every one take the same screen shot, from the same movie on the same format and at the same chapter and time......and compare
we can even get overclkr in on this one.

First I would guess that we need to pick a common HD-DVD or Blu-ray
Then pick a scene and get the chapter and time.

Take your screen shot and submit.
What do you guys think?

I suggested that like 3 pages ago but didnt get a response, probably because it got hidden away with all the screenshots . I'm up for the challenge!

You were correct
Lets do it.....who is in?

once we figure it out, we can set the image size.

Somebody said about a page ago that there should be more 5th Element. I'm allways ready for that but all I have is a copy on my DVR from when it was on TNT, enjoy:













Yeah I know that the G90's and RS1's look better but a Domino will have to do the trick at my place...for now.

It would not bother me..how much do stacked G90 cost compared to my RS1.
If I can get 90% of the picture for RS1 price....I am happy

SO lets do this.

What format are we using..HD-DVD or Blu-ray?
What movie?
What scene?

Throw ideas out there...

emalloc is correct.

It is a Sim2 Domino 30H projecting to a 106" DIY DW laminate screen 13.5 feet away. Hardly a match for Larry's setup. That screen alone is more than twice the cost of my complete theater. http://www.screenhead.com/reviews/ho...ernova-screen/ Also I did not hire a professional photographer to do my screen shots, obviously. Maybe we could have a couple of different categories, ie, 1080, 720, CRT, Digital etc. Just a thought.

RayJr,

Are there any decent neutral titles (BD & HD-DVD) you can think of? 2001 ASO has some pretty good eye candy scenes in it.

IDEA 1

Take a look at Universal HD or TNT-HD schedules and see if there is something decent coming up this weekend that we can all record and use. Assuming everyone has a DVR.

IDEA 2....still thinking

I think you probably want to take pictures that would point out differences in the projectors, and that everyone has easy access to.

Also remember it's very hard to compare screen shots. Someone may have a crap camera but a superior image and nobody would ever know! Also their setup may stink (ambient light, screen too large, projector too close/far, crap cables, etc.). I.e. if you take the same PJ and project from 10 ft instead of 20, you'll get a brighter image at a sacrifice of CR.

Black level, contrast ratio, lumens at D65, color accuracy, detail/sharpness...how are we going to compare all of these?

Not wanting to be a stickler or drama queen about it, but it will be very difficult I think. I'm sure I could go run over to the G90 stack or Art's HT5000 and take you a complete crap picture that wouldn't represent their setup at all. =D

Sick Puppy,

As much as I love your screen shots and my AX200, I don't think it's a fair comparison to say that's how it was rendered in the movie by comparing a Panasonic AX200 with a Panasonic AE2000...

ELmO,

This is a screen shot war. And in war whoever has the best weapons, technology, and army win!! Both side aren't necessary at even strength when battling it out!!

Seriously though, I understand what you're saying and I think it's fair to say that no one should be buying a projector based upon just screen shots. If you like what you see, PM the shot poster and find out what his/her setup is and seek out a demonstration to see it yourself. I propose that once we settle on a media source and time reference that everyone take their screen shots and send to me. I'll create a matrix of the shots listing everyone's equipment and host it. What do you say?

This is an excellent post on this subject. There are things like panel registration errors,CA ,artifacts etc that screen shots are useful for but other than that IMO they are of very very little utility in determining/comparing picture quality.

You could have a projector that is sharp,has good color accuarcy and is pumping out all of two or three fL and if you leave the shutter open long enough it will look great in a screen shot and crap in person just as one example.

Honestly, I would've thought the same thing. But, I noticed that my image is much shaper and detailed (mine is the bottom one). It just goes to show with the right screenshot, one can make a sub-quality pj better than a superior one. And I'm only projecting on a 106" screen.

I only posted up my shot to show that McQueen actually does look orange in that shot. It had bothered me when I first saw it, but since it's showing up on the 2000 as well, I've accepted it as a source material issue.

Cheers,
JD
