Not even in the same league.

How many lumens will be lost in calibration and trying to achieve the impossible?

I would hope not, since the RS1 costs 1/10th as much...

Wan, if you've got a skazillion lumens to burn, who cares if you lose half of them in calibration?? Laughing

So presumably at the next meet he'll be passing out shades and high-SPF lotion? Wink Also, all audience members must wear black velveteen robes. Absolutely no white T-shirts allowed.

Of course, you would, as a photographer. The rest of us will shudder to think of the costs. Smile

Sorry, I'm not gonna arse kiss Art, (sry Art my wife seems to think size does matter, doh I happen to agree, but on a smaller size, hehehe,) but in a rescent article (in a swedish science magazine go figure) I read that the future of telly is a new kind of technology, called "nano tubes", WTF is that? Is that laser or oled or what? So simply put, in a more neanderthal configuration, WTF is nano tubes? (Since this actually might end up being the king of the hill.)

sry.

When I woke today I blamed it on the rather heavy wine consumption. But later, in somber condition, I still can''t make heads or tails on the concept of "nano tubes".

I have always thought that Art had one of the best (if not the best) CRT theaters, but maybe not the best CRT picture. I have never been a fan of AT screens and Art is using one for both the current and next set up. I am sure the digital should look pretty damn good in his new theater. When I saw a DP cinema grade DLP a couple of years ago, I thought its only real short coming was black level. I would be curious to see how to see how much better this pj is than the DP I saw at a lower price. I see that the higher end DLPs are now coming with some a pretty sophisticated CMS. It looks like digital is starting to get pretty good.Smile

You need to come to my place. My setup is in the top tier, not only that, but, damn do I have some serious punch all around. Art was floored when he came to my meet as well as Mike Parker, Ken Whitcomb, and Gino. Oh yeah, this thread was all about the king of CRT video right?

LOL.

I look at it this way. The very few "kings" in this forum are all happy with their own perspective decisions in setup and final output that I honestly would have to say that there is no ONE KING. EVERYONE in this forum is king whether it be a barco data 800 or a Sony G90. If your happy, that is ALL that matters.

Right?

Thumbs Up

I have three reasons to go to the US (in no particular order)

1. Cedia (don't know if I can make it)
2. Art's new HT
3. Your G90 stack

...but ultimately I concur with you... every HT with screen bigger than say 100" has a WOW factor that is so big compared to not having a big screen that differences amongst different top tier HTs (stacked/blended CRTs, 3DLPs, RS1, etc.) are almost subtle and only really important to a few of us.

I am very glad that you kept your G90 stack and have a reference setup. I am sure everything else has panned out right.. (if that expression exists) Smile

I am king because I own the best CRT projector ever made. Period. Yes, a 9500/G90 stack/blend is better, but ask yourself why they need two of them? Because one is not good enough to top a 909... 8)

Can the 909 resolve 1080p @ 72 Hz?

Haven't tried yet. It does perfectly resolve 1080p/59.94 in a 16:9 raster however (the scanlines are even very sharp and defined in the corners). But honestly, I probably will never try 72 Hz because I want to keep the source digital up to the HDfury. And all those DVI solutions back out if you go higher than 60Hz...

If you want to be king, you know what to do.

Provide us with proof that you have the best setup.

I'm willing to consider a barco....

Not really. Both Gino and myself feeding the DVX 1920x1050p and 1920x1080 @ 72 Hz via DVI with no issues. Imho, unless you are running some sort of frame-rate motion compensated interpolation (very unlikely, I am not aware of any external VP that does it at 1080p), 72 Hz is a must.

Umm...no, let's see your 909 light up a 169" screen as well as my blend can and then speak to me Laughing
