Save $50 / FREE HDMI cable on Moome HDMI cards
March 6, 2008


Looking to add Blu-ray or other HDMI sources to your CRT projector? For a limited time, Moome is offering incentives and price reductions on all of his HDMI 1.3 input cards for CRT projectors:

CRT PROJECTOR TYPE: INCENTIVE:  
Complete line of Sony projectors and TVs with IFB slots

(See complete list of compatible projectors)
Free 5M (16 foot) HDMI cable!

Want to add an HDMI input to a different display? Consider the universal EXT-FULLHD or HDfury2!

These cards allow you to add digital devices such as Blu-Ray players, PS3, Xbox360, Satellite/Cable HDTV set-top boxes, and PCs with HDMI graphic cards to your CRT projector. Simply plug the card into your projector, your HDMI devices into the card, and watch! Two HDMI 1.3 inputs with gamma correction and infrared remote control are included.  Don't be stuck watching HD at only 480p! Add a digital HDCP-compliant HDMI 1.3 input card allowing you to watch hi-def content at up to 1080p!

These cards are a culmination of everything Moome has learnt over years of building input cards for CRT projectors: They are by far the highest end cards he has yet to offer with new features such as: Two 100% HDMI 1.3 compliant inputs for Deep Colour support, better discrete 12bit D/A converters, faster 1GHz output buffer, and videophile quality op-amps for the best image quality possible. Supply is limited and tends to sell out fast as these high-end products are only built in small batches. This is the last HDMI input card you will ever buy for your CRT projector!

Widescreen Review Magazine uses Moome HDMI cards in their reference theaters which feature a Sony G90 and Runco 1200 CRT projectors.  "We love our 9-inch CRT projectors, even though we have our pick of the leading edge D--ILA, SXRD, and DLP projectors." - Gary Reber, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Widescreen Review

Reviews/Testimonials

"The card looks really good in the projector. I have the card / G90 set up now so that I can see the "just above black" bar next to window patterns on my VP403 with windows from 0 IRE through over 70 IRE. This is with rich inky blacks and a perfect gamma curve of 2.2 through the entire luma range. The card has behaved flawlessly for my testing and seems very solid. It also deals really well with long HDMI cables, better than other previous cards I have seen. I do recommend it and will post more info as time permits. I have done only a little calibration with it, and the card already looks good. I've watched Sunshine, Mission Impossible 3, 5th Element, Bank Job, Decent, and Ratatouille. Some of those are not exactly reference, but the board is doing well. Sunshine with its black details and dark glory looked absolutely fantastic. Everyone who was watching with me was really WOWed. This is really a great card. I ran 1080x1920 @ 72 Hz today for a couple hours at least. Coming through a monoprice, 22 gauge, silver plated copper, 35' cable. No issues at all; no sparkles, no noise... just perfect. That is not an easy test at all!" - Craig Rounds, official IFB-FULLHD tester, professional calibrator (www.cir-engineering.com)

"I received my XG-FULLHD HDMI card today and I love it! The picture is much better than what I was seeing previously. I was using a HDFury with my Sony BD300 and VP30 video processor and was never very happy with it. Now I have the VP30 plugged directly into the new HDMI card and the picture is sensational. Couldn't believe how easy it was to install and setup. Thanks Moome!!" - Rob

"...very quick install/setup and first impressions are that the XG-FULLHD card is noticeably sharper than my HDfury/RTC2200 setup..." - Lance

"There is no doubt the XG-FULLHD card creates an image that is better than the previous DVI card...colors are more natural, test patterns are sharper ...the PQ has taken a step forward, and just looks 'right'. This card IS a step up in all areas of image reproduction." - KennyG

"The color rendition of the Moome [XG-FULLHD] card is really quite impressive. The first thing that hit me when going back to the DVI card was how much better the HDMI card did to create a vividly lifelike image with more subtle gradients. (See here for XG-FULLHD vs HDfury screenshots)" - JArseneau

"... it is a true work of art from Moome, amazing in every way possible ... with the new NEC XG HDMI Moome card and my DVDO VP50pro video processor outputting 4:2:2 YPbPr HDMI I have a image that has improved in nearly every manner (See here for screenshots) ... the crispness of the image has improved a lot as well, the image is naturally sharper vs the older DVI card which looks slightly edgy in comparison ... color resolution and naturalness has improved so much it is unbelievable, I am so thankful to be able to get this card for my XG, it was worth every penny and more! I just can't get over home much of a improvement this card really is, the best way to describe it is like someone took a hold of a knob on your system labelled bandwidth and cranked it out the roof, the natural crispness and smoothness of the image is amazing, the contrast ratio aspects of the image may be the biggest improvement of all. I am now going to be giddy every time I sit down to do reviews and watch films. Thank You Moome! You are a true master sir!" - Gary (Home Theater Forum Software and Hardware reviewer)

"The image is very sharp and the colours wonderfully vibrant and realistic! The black levels are outstanding!! Its certainly given this XG135 a few more good years without missing out on the latest Hi def formats." - Alan
