AVS Forum member Clyde R. (NYGiantsFan23) has an unusually demanding job—he's a police detective in Maryland, knocking down doors in search of violent offenders. That means long hours, rotating shifts, and high stress. So when he gets home, Clyde wants to get away from it all, and what better...

When AVS member Gary Ngo (landshark1) moved from a townhouse to a brand-new, single-family home in Silver Spring, MD, he knew he wanted a larger  home theater  than the previous dwelling could fit. "I wanted at least eight seats to accommodate my growing family," he says. Acoustic treatment was...

My RS56 has been in occasional use now for 5 months and it has started to give me intermittent problems on start-up. Every fourth or fifth power-on results in D-ILA being displayed followed by no picture, the projector shutting down and after the cooling period the "Lamp" and "Warning" lights...

 Hi all,   I'm new here, and just got a bunch of help in the projector forum that helped me get a great deal on a JVC 4810 - it's on the way now. Now I am a bit overwhelmed with screen decisions. I would like to keep cost relatively low so have been reading the DIY forum. The projector will...

I currently have the JVC X7 I bought two years ago. Great picture and very nice black levels coming from an older Sony HD PJ. I know have the opportunity to grab either the X55R or a RS56U demo unit both under $3K here local in California. The biggest question is will I see a major difference...

Sorry for being MIA for a bit. I haven't had as much time to play with the 500es as I wanted to this past week and I had to man handle the 500es like its a shopping bag for hours so I was exhausted carrying that around. Told my girl I wanted the biggest baby carrier she could get. She asked...

 Hi all,   I'm new here, and just getting started on the hunt for a projector. This will be my first big screen (currently have a Sony 34XBR960 TV that I have not been able to give up yet).   Budget is limited, but not hard-capped. I'd like to keep things below $3k. So far, I've just...

Hi All! Been lurking for some time an, thanks to all the great advice in this thread, and the FABULOUS services of Mike @ AV Science, am now the proud owner of an RS4810! LOVE IT!!! I'll post my setup later, but I'm wresting with the 3D Glasses issue. My Wife is really bugging me on it...

Hoping the collective brain of AVS can help… Just got a JVC RS-4810 and with that two sets of MonsterVision Max 3D. Finally got them to sync, but no matter what, I get cross-eyed with them. Tried to change the fine tuning, but to with no luck. What the heck can I do about this? Is there a...

Hi, I know there is probably not a simple answer to this, but I would like to know: 1) what technology is better for sports 2) what technology is better for movies Thank you for your comments. Tim

 Hello, Can someone help me please?  I have been talking to people and reading some of these threads...and I am confused.   I will be using the projector primarily for sports and movies.  This will be in an open area with some controlled lighting, but it will often not be in pitch black.  I am...

Hi. I need some opinions, please? Should I purchase a JVC DLA-RS4810 or go with a Runco LS-3? I see benefits both ways. Is the 4K e-shift technology worth going with the JVC? Thanks for your advice! Tim

I am in need of some help. I now have a new JVC 4810 to replace my failing RS10 (magenta stripe issue). I have managed to set up the previous projector and its predecessor pretty effectively, although I'm the first to admit I'm no expert. My problem this time around is that I had unplanned...

We've moved and the new HT is being finished off right now (26x13x8.5' room, with irregular shape ceiling due to it being a bonus room over the garage). I have my trusted Pioneer Elite PRO-FPJ-1, which is still going strong and does have a great picture. But, it's getting to be quite a few...

I'm moving from a 110 inch screen to a 133 in screen. The new screen is 65 inches, top to bottom, the old one is 53 inches. Do I just raise the new screen six inches higher than the old one, to balance things correctly? My projector is on a shelf, 56 inches above the floor, and about 18 inches...

I know this is long and for those TL;DR members I apologize, but I feel the explanation needs to be lengthy: I received my refurbished X55R last night. I just want to say that I am extremely impressed. I spent about 6 hours last night viewing a wide variety of mixed content with it. This will...
