I have noticed that there is no thread for the VPL-VW675ES yet, so I have decided to start one.
I have posted this already under the VPL-VW665ES thread, so I hope I am not violating any rules by posting this a second time:
I finally got my new VPL-VW675ES yesterday which is replacing a VPL-VW600ES.
I am projecting onto a 11 foot wide acoustically transparent 16:9 screen (~1.1 Gain - Weave material - Carada masking system).
So far, so good. Using the Samsung UBD-K8500 as a source through my Denon AVR-X7200WA.
Automatic HDR10 and BT709->BT2020 switching works as expected when playing UHD Blu-Ray - so the Samsung Player and the projector seem to get along.
The projector indicates HDR as incoming signal info.
The Denon signal info page shows a 10-bit HDMI signal coming out of the player which is passed as 10-bit into the projector.
In order to do HDR justice, I had the lamp mode to 'High'. Highlights look nice !
I wish there was a way to engage High-Lamp mode automatically (if desired) when a HDR signal is detected.
For normal HD/BT709 content 'Low' lamp mode is absolutely sufficient (as it was with my VW600ES).
As expected, the overall subjective contrast is increased (non-HDR, regular Blu-Ray and HD content) when compared to the VW600ES.
For HDR content, I set the HDR contrast control to 100% for the time being.
