I get Digital Projection and ProjectionDesign mixed up sometimes, but I think they might share this one. Anyway, a couple of us went to one of the booths at CEDIA with one of the 1080p single chippers (I'm pretty sure it was ProjectionDesign) and talked to them about it. We tried to pin them down on how many lumens we could expect with both lamps at the higher contrast ratio and the answer I remember was in a whole different world from the low lumens in this review for the high contrast iris position. Maybe there will be something different there, but I'm with the people thinking that this doesn't look good.

Wow. I was thinking about your situation and how it would be nice if you could see a Ruby with one of the next gen scalers with Mosquito reduction features with your laserdisks and older DVDs before deciding. But it sounds like you are kind of impatient with waiting for this stuff, just like me.

I'll definitely be interested in what you think of it compared to what you've had in the past. A laserdisk player plugged straight in might not look all that great, but hopefully with some good processing you'll be happy with those.
