Reviews/Testimonials
"The HD-DVD player looks FANTASTIC! It looked blah through component and I
was beginning to wonder what all the HD fuss was about. NOT ANYMORE! HDMI made a
world of difference. LOVE IT!" - Wipron (Sony IFB-HD user)
"I just got my new high-end IFB-HD yesterday evening (Aug 28 '07) and got it
installed today. I previously had a Moome IFB DVI card (got it in March ’06) and
used it in my Sony G70. The upgrade is immediate and noticeable on several
fronts:
- Shadow detail! There is now shadow detail in HD content,
- Quicker HDCP handshakes with finicky players like my Toshiba HD-A1,
- Even component looks a ton better. Gamma has a bit to do with it, but also
signal looks ‘cleaner’,
- IR Control of inputs and minor gamma tuning is handy
- Gamma correction, I can actually see all the gradations in DVE-HD now.
Installing was straight forward, and worked right off the bat. Very happy with
it. Even though it took a long time to receive, it was worth the wait. Thanks
Moome, great work." - JonFo (Sony IFB-HD user)
"This thing Rocks, Thanks Moome!!! I am seeing a much broader pallet of
colors I have not seen before and the detail and sharpness are there. I love to
look for the background detail in images and it is all there with this card and
gives it that 3D look. Oh, but the colors. man! " - DB Cooper

"I ordered my Moome VIM-HD Deluxe (Marquee
version) and received it exactly 2 weeks later - not bad at all I thought. I had
a version 2 (non-gamma) Moome card already, so I was anxious to see the
difference in this newest and greatest version. I first watched a variety of
HD-TV and HD-DVD with the "old" card installed, just to refresh my eyes and
brain as to the excellent quality of those images. In the meantime, I ran my new
"Series-F" HDMI cable from BlueJeansCable.com from my equipment rack to my
projector. Then I installed the new card in my Marquee and settled down with a
frosty adult beverage to view. First, let me reiterate that I always have been
impressed by the quality of the picture I got with the previous Moome card, both
on cable HD-TV and from my Toshiba HD-A1 DVD player. I was a little apprehensive
that I spent the $435 on a card that would simply be a replacement for what I
already had. Well, I am happy to report that the picture is even better than
before!!!! It is more than subtle that the colors and black levels are still
there while the details in both dark and light scenes are more pronounced. I
also see an increase in sharpness, which I was already more than happy with from
the "old" card. I have more work to do in dialling in the gamma boost, but I
wanted to let others know that this card is well worth the price and that they
should place their order(s) for the upcoming batch of cards before they are sold
out." - Gary (GEBrown)
"I am not by any stretch as critical a watcher as many here are, quoting
numbers and percentages, just not in my bag of tricks yet. With that disclaimer
I honestly can say I can no longer imagine my theater without a Moome card. ZERO
installation issues. Zero hand shake issues and Absolutely stunning on screen
images. I am a relative newbie to HT, my first was a well used D50 which to me
opened my eyes to CRT and whetted my appetite for more. Now with my G70, 106"
wide screen, Samsung BD-P1200, Toshiba HD-A2, Denon1600 SDI, DVDO iScan HD+,
Monoprice switcher, Monoprice DVI to HDMI from iScan to Moome v 1.32 IFB-HDMI
with Gamma, simply UNBELIEVABLE! Never a single hiccup. Well done Mr Moome. A
great big thanks to you. Thumbsup!" - Ray (rabies_70)
"I received the card in under two weeks. After calibration of the Marquee and
Iscan, i put in the dvd: Star wars 3. The colors was very good, and the
sharpness wow!! Thanks to Moome" - Opno (VIM-HD user)

A specialized HDMI input card for your projector - This may work
for you!We've had a lot of emails recently
from CRT projector owners looking for HDMI input cards for their
Marquee clone projector. Seems they weren't aware that an option
was available already: The
Moome
VIM-HD HDMI input card!
The Marquee chassis has been a very popular with third party resellers,
probably due to the reliability the ease of servicing, and the fact that the
chassis is still being built today (as of 2008).
There are a large number
of companies that purchase(d) the 8000/8110/8500/9000/9500 Marquee chassis and added a
new case and other adjustments (mostly minor) and called it their own.
If you own one of these projectors below, you can use
Moome's Marquee VIM-HD HDMI input card to add Blu-ray, HD DVD, or any other
HDMI device to you home theater!
The VIM-HD HDMI input card will work with the following
CRT projectors:
-
Marquee 8000, 8110, 8110+, 8500, 8500LC, 8500LC Ultra, 9000,
9500LC, 9500LC Ultra
