Just three days ago, I got the new modell of the LS 110;
In a short summary, there will be differnces in the PQ like day and night between the old and the new one. I really couldn´t believe the improvements, when I saw them at the first time. Therefore I take the time to made another check with another new modell of the LS110 and an old modell
At first some technical details of the new modell
What has been changed – as InFocus says:
1. New software 3.3 which will release the the following points
- Interlaced computer modes will no longer “jitterâ€
- 576p, 1080i 50hz and interlaced digital signals Video Source will run without any problems
- smarter changing co the channels using a VCR tuner
What has been changed, which is not written down at InFocus
1. The RGBRGB color wheel has been modified – this has been usefull for the 576p 1080i signal @50Hz because it works great
2. The contrast ratio has been improved -> I think up to 900: 1 – YOU REALLY SEE IT
3. The blacklevel has become better – more dark
4. The handling of the “menue†will work
5. There must also some modifications in the videoboard – the sharpness has been increased and the noise of the picture is going down
All this modifacation will done at every new modell of the LS 110, which is shipping now worlwide.
Now I can say, to the see the picture of this pj, ist really a superb enjoyment.
I´m sorry, that my new digital camera will be shipped to me at least in two weeks, therefore I can not made any picture.
My testing equipment:
Upperclass DVD-Player
Professioniell component cable
Screen mattwhite from DA-Lite (gain 1.0)
DVD: THE FIRST CONTACT; THE 5TH. ELEMENT (Superbit); SHREK; TOY STORY 2; PEARL HARBOUR; STAR WARS I ;MATRIX and some test dvds, All these movies were used in 576i
The results
Jitter: OLD LS 110 some jitter / NEW LS110 still nothing
TEARING: OLD LS 110 sometimes/ NEW LS110 really less going to nothing
Blacklevel : OLD LS 110 not bad/ NEW LS110 much better
Contrast: OLD LS 110 600:1/ NEW LS110 I think up to 900:1
Artefacts: OLD LS 110 sometimes/ NEW LS110 nearly less
Noise of the Picture: OLD LS 110 sometimes/ NEW LS110 much less
Color saturation: OLD LS 110 okay/ NEW LS110 better
Differences in colors (especialy in blue): OLD LS 110 okay/ NEW LS110 better
display of the color: OLD LS 110 okay/ NEW LS110 better (more natural)
Impression of the Picture: OLD LS 110 okay/ NEW LS110 more to the movie
When you will send me or post some pictures from your pj from the movies I menetioned above, I can have look at the difference and post. When I got my camera, than I will do the same picture for comparison.
To all owner of the old LS110; I heavy recommend the update, because the modified colorwheel has primarily done for the PAL – community, to minimize the problems of 576i/p @ 50hz
To the owner of the toshiba modell
I will check up on tuesday (Monday will be a free day in the most parts of Europe), if the software-upgrade can also be made these modell. It looks it will go, but I want a confirmation
