MASSIVE Radiance XE sale until end of August
July 6, 2012
We're having a massive sale on the
high end
Radiance
XE video processor to help Lumagen move
some stock. This is the highest end video processor
available on the market today. Sale ends August 31,
2012.
Because our sale price is
considerably below Lumagen's "minimum advertised
price" we are not allowed to post it publically. You
must visit our
Radiance order page and click "BUY NOW" to add it to
your cart to see the sale price.
Combine it with the award winning
ChromaPure
software to auto-calibrate any display: Anyone with
little or no training in video technology can now
calibrate their display in just 5-10 minutes.
The higher clock speed
Radiance
XE+ is also on sale for you high end CRT
projector owners (Sony
G90,
Barco 1209/Cine9,
Electrohome Marquee 95xx, etc.) who want to
do 1080p/72Hz or 1080p/75Hz. 72Hz refresh allows you
to run film at exactly 3x the native rate at which
film is shot (24 frames/second) instead of at the
usual 50 or 60Hz. Running at even multiples of the
native rate eliminates motion 'judder' which some
people find annoying. CRT based displays flicker too
much at 24Hz and 48Hz, requiring the use of 72Hz
refresh rate. Flicker does not exist on digital
displays as the bulb is always on.
Free US/Canada shipping is included.

Buy once, use
forever!
The Radiance is the only video processor that we
know of that, over the years, has kept up with new
features and offered upgrades to existing users -
often through completely free software upgrades!
Most other companies we know of do not do this.
Instead, they make you buy a new model as new
features are introduced.
You don't hear this often but CurtPalme.com is
comfortable in saying that the Radiance is the one
true "buy once, use forever" video processor that
has stood the test of time. The Radiance is
completely over engineered with processing power
that has proven that it can take on just about
anything. Truly phenomenal support from Jim Peterson
and his crew!

Radiance order page for more details and

New EyeOne Pro 2 spectroradiometer
July 3, 2012
X-Rite recently released an updated
version of their EyeOne Pro meter and called it, not
surprisingly, the EyeOne Pro 2 (aka i1Pro 2).
Effective immediately all of our
ChromaPure EyeOne Pro packages
include the new X-Rite i1Basic Pro 2 (EO2BAS) retail
package at no additional cost. Perfect for PC/Mac
monitor calibration and print/photography colour
management.
This way you get the best of both
worlds: Use ChromaPure
for TV/Home Theater calibration and X-Rite's own
software and tools for print/photo/PC/Mac
calibration.

Contact us
for meter only pricing on the new EyeOne Pro 2.
How does the new EyeOne Pro 2 compare to the original?
The EyeOne Pro 2 replaces the extremely
stable original EyeOne Pro revision D that
people have known and used for years. The accuracy
of the EyeOne Pro 2 is the same for the original
EyeOne Pro. It looks and feels like it is better
built, and is heavier.
It is better isolated from
temperature (partially due to the aluminum outer
shell) and it reads higher levels of luminance. The vast majority of the improvements made are for
reflectance readings for those who use it for
photography and print work, not for the emissive
mode for calibrating displays.
The EyeOne Pro 2 also looks and
behaves identically as the EyeOne Pro as far as
supporting software is concerned. If software
supports the EyeOne Pro, then it will also work with
the EyeOne Pro 2. No ChromaPure software or driver
changes are required.

Runco 1101 9" CRT projector
See our
CRT Primer to read why CRT projectors are still used in home
theaters where picture quality is paramount. Our
Projector Rankings page will show you how they
stack up. Not sure what
projector is right
for you? Email Curt
for help!
Here's a very nice condition late model (April
2001 manufacture)
Runco 1101 that's in great
condition. A 9" LC projector that was top of the line.
It
features:
- 1300 lumens
- Well past 1080p resolution
capability
- GT17 lenses
- Sharper LUG tubes with exceptionally low
wear on the green tube, no visible wear on the R
and B tubes
Color filters on
the G and B tubes give this set more accurate colors
than the stock Barco 1209s set that this originally
was. The set should last 9000 hours+ for tubes, and
you'll get well over 50,000 hours out of the
chassis as these sets are that reliable.
Add an
optional HDMI converter, and enjoy HDTV and Blu-ray
right to the projector. With no pixels and insanely
fast video processing along with 35,000:1 contrast
ratio, CRTs still run circles around the disposable
digital projectors. The set will do any resolution
up to and past 1080p and will work with any aspect
ratio and any worldwide supply voltage.
Ceiling
bracket, power cord, manual, and remote included
with this unit. These units can be shipped
via truck or air freight only.
Email Curt for an exact
shipping quote. We do ship worldwide.
