Screen 76" wide on Wall.





Peter

Hello all. i own an Optoma H27 bought more than a year ago. Im planning to upgrade to a 720p projector soon and i came across this HD65. My initial choice was the HD70. SO the question is, how does it compare to an old H27. My biggest worry is the RBE, as there r many negative comments on such factor here. With H27, RBE is never an issue to me, but with a brighter and higher Lumens of the HD65, im afraid it will becoming an issue to me. Thanks.

-- It is really very small, lightweight, only 2Kg.

-- The finish is excellent, very beautiful too.

-- But the front ring corresponds to focus and put the rubber stopper, is lost the

focus for the next use.

-- The connection of first HDMI worked with the computer, recognizing and

generating the resolution 1280x720 automatically. The other connections worked at

first, he ftem a function of search, where he seeks connection which is receiving

signal.

-- Not done any calibration, image came with excellent color. More forward will

make a calibration and also a comparison.

-- A projection on the white wall really impressed me, without any preparation to

hit an excellent image quality. The only but is during the day, where a little more

clarity affected much the darker areas of the image.

Then some pictures during the day (camera compact and simple) of projections I made

once the projector arrived,:






Pictures of the night projections I made with more calm and using a photographic

camera better:

Display of 76 "wide right on white wall:




Support temporary, source of the images, a PC and DVI> HDMI:




The room, everything still temporary:



I am still studying whether support to buy, of roof or wall.

We saw Ratatouille 1080p and are impressed with the details, very interesting.

I am very pleased with the acquisition. Confess that I was worried, as a release,

but now I am much more calm.

Great pictures.....
I am impressed.

BTW do you have a Blu-Ray player in that PC?
Also what is the projection distance and the screen size...

I'm digging the star scene!! Is that wallpaper?

Great shots also!

Thanks.

I have a few films in high definition on the hard disk.

The distance between a wall and the other is 9.84251 ft. (3 meters)

The screen is 76" wide.




Thanks.

I saw a little of the rainbow effect at last night, watching the movie Alien.

In scenes that show the stars. But the rest of the film not bothered me more.

Unfortunately we have to choose between the rainbow effect of the DLP projectors and screen door effect of LCD projectors.

Peter.

I just bought an HD70 @ CC with 200 rebate to upgrade from Panny AE300. They had the HD65. I have 30 days to return the HD70. Any major advantage of the HD65 over the HD70. The 2 hundred buck difference is not a deal breaker for me if there is an advantage with newer model.

I took some pictures yesterday playing Wii. The quality of the images is close to that I am seeing here is that used the same camera compact.

Enabled the option Widescreen in Wii, used the composite video cable, because not yet have cable video component of the Wii.

In the tests I made between composite video and component video watching on the DVD Player, the image of the video component is more sharpness.

So I have to get a decent camera and a video cable component for the Wii, I tests with more pictures and comparative.

For now, follow a few pictures:








That last one is only to show the gain in field of vision on the screen wide playing with two people, because the quality of the photo was compromised:

Hi Guys

I just wanted to say thanks for posting some screenshots. The shot of the RAT under the bridge is great. It has excellent shadow detail.

I am planning to pick up the HD65 as soon as I get the funds together. I'm upgrading from a Benq PB6100, so I expect to be very pleased with the new machine.

Thanks again

I have the HD65 and occationally the pj will lose the signal (e.g. DVD going from menu to actual movie play, or during Wii game plays) but does reacquire it after couple of seconds. Has anyone experienced that as well?

Press "Source Lock" on the remote control.

This will disable the ability to search for signal that the projector has.

Comment here if it worked.

Peter.

Peter,

I have the source lock turned on. I wonder it has to do with the fact that I am connecting component video output to the VGA port of the pj?

Thanks, I'll make the swap 70 to 65

I need help getting the superwide function to work.... I've done everything exactly the way it says in the manual but no luck.... anyone else having this problem ??

I don't get even the option on the menu when I connect from dvi dvd player to the hdmi pj input.

I have found that the superwide feature only works on SD DVD's. And even then it pops in and out without warning. Even if you have it set to "on" and signal locked.

Nice idea, s h i t t y execution.

If you want it to work on HD-dvd's you need to set the overscan to approx. 10. It's a pain to always have to scan in and out. From now on I will leave it off.

I am using a toshiba A3 via component.
reuben9376, are you using component too?

I will check tonight again - I do see the feature when I connect through component but not HDMI.

Ive tried with Hdmi and componet the superwide feature is there and Ive tried switching it from on to auto but nothing happens either way. Ive tried with SD DVD but no luck.

I did take a couple of screenshots...
