Jason - Any word on when/if you will be reviewing the RS1 now that CES is done? I'm not sure if you are still getting the unit you had hoped would be available prior to CES or if you are having to wait on first production units coming out in Feb. Look forward to your input!

Well, at least Elliot(Cine4Home) has an HD1 now. He's doing a shootout with a Pearl tommorow evening. Both projectors will be calibrated tomorrow before the shootout.

The results will be interesting.

Elliot and cine4home are two different people. Elliot is in the UK and cine4home is in Germany.

Well, they both have HD1s to test and they're both testing them this week. They're just not doing it together.

I think it was Gregr that mentioned if a projector is given to him to test and doesn't meet a quick standards check no review is made. So now on review sites I'm always checking to see whats missing. Also some reviews seem to leave out certain things....

It would not make sense for dealer/reviewer to post a negative review when they sell projectors afterall.

I'm sure thats not the case here with the JVC, but if anyone wants to believe this conspiracy and decides to cancel, it will help move me up the long waiting list...

Kind of curious as to why our UK and German friends can get their hands on a projector and we (as in Jason) can't? Been promised but still a "no show"

never understood this, but sometimes the manufacturers release in Europe first.

I always like Jason's reviews and how he keeps it at a higher level where us "simple minded" people can understand it.

I also must admit I'm looking forward to his impressions with the RS1/SS combo - since that's where I'm headed at this point.

In this case, I'm not going to complain. With everyone getting heartburn over the lack of LUT access, it will be interesting to get the early reports from Europe regarding the full production units OOTB color uniformity and grey scale.

I hope they are still working on the RS1, is the reason for us being a week or so later. Maybe implementing 2.35 vertical stretch? 8)

May we expect this review in our lifetime?

May we expect it while we're still young or young-ish?

When may we expect it?

Man people are impatient. Look, it is in JVC's hands at the moment. BELIEVE ME...when it arrives I will do it immediately.
