What would be the best bang for the buck upgrades to do to an 8500LC? Without going all the way to a 9500 just yet. Mr. Green

Make it an "ultra"? MP mods? etc......

Learn to calibrate with CalMan or Chromapure with a quality probe.

Best bang for the buck.

+1 for the hoarders! I just told the wife tonight when she said that's all my sh*t that she said "I DO" so it's our sh*t!!! LMFAO

I'm going for an 107" analog screen in every room, I'll keep the digital for the bathrooms.

Which lenses do these 8500LCs have? HD18 like a G70?
Which tubes? 180DMB 22?

Regards, Julian
