Thanks for reminding me to run some laundry. lol Looks good. Should be able to watch a movie right now and not be disappointed.

Thanks! Yep, what a bunch of you probably don't realize is that while I love HTs, and I've seen a bunch of great ones, I've done aLmost nothing with mine over the years. Not sure what stopped me, other than working on other stuff around me, but this is the most I've done since I originally hung the first projector.

I own two colorimeters, very old ones, and have never learned how to use them. If Craig ever ends up in the Seattle area, I'll bribe him to come up across the border to tweak mine. I can do focusing and converging, but have actually skipped most of the geekly tech threads posted here and on avs over the years. Some of you talk in the stratosphere when it comes to tweaking, but given the amounts of projectors I've seen, I know what they can do, and mine isn't close to being done from an image POV.

Still, come Friday night, Barb and I will lug the spare loveseat downstairs and will watch a movie!

It seems to me like it's because of what you do. Kinda like the mechanic has the crappiest car, Accountants have money trouble, chef comes home and orders take out. After working on others stuff all day you don't want to do any more.

Glad you are breaking the mold and taking the time.

Gotta agree on the AT screen. If you are going to do it in the future, then you should have went ahead and bought some inexpensive AT material. I think Phifer is around $200 for your screen size.

Well if that's all it is, I'l definitely do it sooner than later. MIght be able to use the same frame.

Guys

H linearity is the hardest working correction in side-stacking as one must expand the near side and compress the far side to balance things at the screen.

Yes they are extreme, but the steps are still too large Wink

Yeah, I see that! Smile

You see exactly my point here between the Barco and the NEC fine adjustment sizes? I wonder if there would be a way to mod it so the steps could be finer in size at the expense of the totally unrequired amount of range you get!!

Id have to look at what ive got set in the corners, its only about 10-15ish away from 49 at the most in any zone, coarse or fine from memory. I never really look at the numbers!!

If we could make the steps smaller, even just slightly, say 25-50% smaller, there is every chance convergence would become MUCH better!!

I don't see an issue on the screen from 10' back, so for now I'm leaving it, but definitely, reducing the output amp gain would solve that issue, no question.

Fired the set up from a cold start last night, it's pretty damn stable. Didn't have it on long enough to check to see if the little drifting comes back in line, but it's well under a test pattern line thickness, so I can live with that.

I'm involved in a computer programming course all week long, may post in the audio section about it. Very specialized, very commercial audio oriented, and should make me a key player in the commercial audio industry locally within a couple of years.. I hope! Now it's all about marketing!
