bro, i like to visit your place..
like to test your sound system.

the sunlight on top is a turn off. can u block it with something. i think i have a solution for u.

by the way, i have this trouble calibrating for the right colour and contrast. Due to the DVD and PS3 im using. i kept going forward and backward adjusting the colour , brightness and contrast.

My question is whether i should use the DVD remote control to calibrate or use the projector remote control? or both? if use projector remote to calibrate the,colour and contrast , the dvd picture quality may have to calibrate again. Is there a Saving for different customization in the PRojector>

Normally just adjust on your projector. Most projector should have a profile, so you can save profile 1 for PS3 Blu-ray, profile 2 for PS3 DVD etc... I use 2 profile for my PC, one is for range 16-235 and another for 0-255.

is there an accurate setting for camera aperture and speed that im suppose to shoot for a darker room. its pointless to take photo that cannot create the actual scene colour .

i thought i read somewhere in AVS b4, need to find first.

i think different ambient light have different camera setting.

Try this setting:

Set your camera to AV mode.
Set to :ISO 100
Apperture : F 2.8 to 3.5
Use tripod.

Using LX2 to tk this? Very nice shot. Btw, to make more informative for other users, can state the setting of the cam, the room environment (darkened, ambient light, etc) and your HD65 setting

to get a reasonable screenshot, I'd suggest following:
1. use tripod
2. set on AP or manual exposure and use at least F8-F16, preferably smallest aperture
3. then underexpose little bit by 1/3 or 1/2 stop to get darker blacks cos auto metering will overexpose slightly due to inclusion of black border
4. use ISO 400-800 so that exposure time is bearable, maybe 1 sec.
5. use self-timer to trigger shot
6. do several shots with slight exposure changes.

hope u all can understand Super-Wide better. copy & paste info :






"5. Super Wide is default at Off. To activate it, select Auto, then set the Zoom feature to 1. HD65 will then automatically detects the content, if 16x9, it masks off top and bottom 5% to show the "action safe" area with a near 2.0:1 ratio. If 2.35 content, it takes the 2.0:1 portion of the 2.35 and fill the 1280x640 area, so we get 100-lines more of vertical resolution than a plain 2.35:1 image (1280x544). So now we have "constant height" and "constant width" for both 16x9 and 2.35:1 movies. So the average consumer will no longer be confused as to why some movies fill the screen, and some movie has black bars at top/bottom.

6. The 2.0:1 provides a good wide viewing vista for more Cinemascope feeling without expensive 16x9 lens. With <$999, consumer gets a "budget minded CHT".

Super Wide works well, especially, with 1080i source, where 100-lines more resolution is used to interpret the 1080i/p contents.

It's best to use a 2.0:1 screen to mask out the unused pixels to enjoy the 2.0:1 Cinemascope feeling.

If user don't like it, they can always disable that, and HD65 performs like any 720p 16x9 projector does."

too bad, should have known this before buying the screen for superwide. mine is only 16:9

by the way, someone did mentioned that HD65 can save different profiles for the different sources. where the hell is this found in the Menu , i can't find it.

Do u guys see any different in Image AI.

I dont think the accuracy of the photo can be similar to the projection video colour. A lot depend on which camera also. try using Lomo camera , hehe... hybrid colour some more. Good camera and perfect setting make good production than a few hundred dollars compact camera. i guess not waste time comparing it .

last time people were saying fuji is greener than kodak. I guess there must be a discussion on different camera brand as well .

What we can do is make arrangement with ourselves and have a tour to compare the exact projection colour.

Image AI is the 'booster' for contrast. However, it has to sacrifice the bulb's life since it wont be running in eco mode.
