I don't think you are a troll, but I do have to question your premise. Unless you bought this used, you spent $5k new. To let that much money pretty much go to waste means you must have more money than you know what to do with. |
I payed 6400$, and changed the bulb once.. i think i put around 1000 hours on the machine. so around 7$ pr hour, and i bet that ½ the hours are heat up and calibration time., so ill guess around 14$ pr movie hour.
But there is some good about it.. It dont matter what meter you calibrate with.. The projector wont measure the same 2 days..
Its not bad if you have a perfect temp controled room, and like to calibrate, i just prefer the CRT and more natural way to reproduce the image.
I was planing on buying and testing the auto calibrate on it, when i get my HT room up running again.

My PG10 will most likely be the end for me. I have a M8500 tucked away in the basement as a backup. I may pop some 9" LC's in there but right now I just want to enjoy movies and not constantly tinker. Although reading the recent thread with Mike Parker's new mods has sparked my interest a little.

What makes you say that? Resale on them is quite good from what I've seen.
I'd also point out that your logic is iffy at best... If you're losing a lot of money selling it, then you're losing a lot more by keeping it.

Oh, lord. Total face palm.
I guess you're pretty wealthy if you just keep a multi-thousand dollar projector sitting around in the box "just to show people its shortcomings".
Please.
I'm starting to wonder whether you actually even have one, or if perhaps you're just a troll.

Honestly, it took me awhile to get comfortable with her being there. I mean Curt and I were talking and then all of a sudden our waitress decides to sit down with us for several minutes at a time. Do we continue our subject conversation or do we stop and talk to her? A lot of stops and starts to Curt and myselfs conversation. Well except for the last one which was about sex.
. |
Very true. I was starting a pretty explicit story, and then she goes and sits down with us...again, and I point blank told her that I was going to get pretty crude and lewd, to which she responded: 'Oh, you're talking about sex? BRING IT ON!'
So yeah, she got an uncensored earful.  |
If that is the case Curt......we should not be hearing from you for a few days!!!

Sheesh, way to throw a damper on the thread right off the bat.
But seriously, Curt--please don't die.

Problem was, she had a b/f. I would have been a dirty old man right to her face had she not mentioned a b/f.
As for dying, nah, not on my bucket list. Still, I turn 50 in 2 weeks, so I guess it's all downhill from here. I had to buy reading glasses 6 months ago, that was about the only time I felt old so far.

Analog- nope, I'm doing sweet F.A. this year. Oh wait, that's like every other year.
Case, yes, you're damn right!! Why do Canadians always have morals? Mind you, I have to say, I didn't find her attractive at all.
