[B]Wolf Cinema DCL-200FD LED[/B]

I'm surprised there is no thread for this projector, nor a review anywhere to be found.


Has NO ONE bought once since 2010?!!?

This is basically a rebranded Vango and Mico 50. Wolf Cinema projectors are very niche, even in the home theater community. If you're curious about it's performance try and find a review for either projector. There are a bunch out there.

Thanks.

Were the reviews of the Vango and Mico 50 generally excellent? I read one or two which were great, but were there any negative reviews?

There is a long Vango owner's thread. I have one and it suits me just fine. I bought it as my 'desert island' projector while I wait for laser/led 4k. If I have to wait five more years that is fine. I am quite happy with the Vango. I have had 9" CRTs, D-ILAs and LCDs so I have some perspective but not as much as many others here. In my very light-controlled theater it paints a 130" diagonal quite nicely. I suspect that the Vango owners drift away from these forums because they no longer have that nagging 'upgraditus.'

Thanks Vlubbers... I am thinking of the Wolf version. Have there been issues with LED light output reduction or color shifting over time?

I know nothing about the Wolf. My LED has been drift free. No color drift, no focus drift. Output has not varied such that I can measure it in two years. I turn it on, I turn it off. That is all the drama there is. It took me a year to get over the need to fiddle with it. It does not require fiddling. So I play the guitar. No, just kidding.

Hi everybody!

I own a Wolf Cinema DCL-200 FD and want to replace DMD and LED chips.
I ask Wolf but they don't know and referred me to Chi-Lin which didn't answer.
Maybe someone here can help me.

For the red LED chip I need to know whether it's PT-120-R-L11 (discontinued) or PT-120-RAX-L15 (reversed polarity).
And whether it is the Dark Chip 3 or 4.

Are the claims by one of the engineers of this projector accurate that later production runs of it can get 1000 ansi lumens calibrated to D65?

The liquid cooled design is a great implementation for LED engines. As I mentioned we have been able to increase voltage to the emitters during last year's production runs, to where the ~1000 ANSI number is holding up (at calibrated D65). It always amazes me how bright this projector is and how large a screen it can handle. But the main reason for the success of the projector is the image fidelity - it's sharp, amazing color depth, accurate, dynamic - all the hallmarks of a great home theater projector.

Does this unlock the hot coffee level or what does this mean lol? I don't want to miss something important I might need to know to finish the LED installation, if this is some code you have to input, but I have no idea what it means.

Sorry, you‘re right. I forgot to mention that. This is the code for the service menu
