I have tried it. Colour seems to better. Contrast slightly improved. But, I might be bias. Need other guys to test it out

When are you getting yours?

so quiet?

HD65 cant do 120Hz rite??

i read in forum ppl now all talk about 120Hz on 1080p

I dont understand why there is a need for 120Hz if you are watching blu-ray with HD65.

WTA the description says accepting RGB via SCART but I can't find a SCART socket so may I ask how to connect it?

It does not come with SCART input. Probably there is a mistake in the spec sheet or there is a HD65 meant for Europe mart

Er guys, I thought we were talking about Anfielddude coming over to calibrate. I have a HD80...count me in.

Long time no enter this thread.

What is this 'White Snake' you guyz talking about?

Bro, you also interested in white snake?

Check my siggy below

Waaa.. all use with audio system.. can use with HD65 also?

Anyway, did you guyz heard about this? Optoma HD65 3D?

Optoma: 3D-Ready projectors 'out this year'
Affordable three-dimensional tech in 2009

Optoma gave TechRadar a demo of one of its pre-production 3D projectors at CEDIA today, and told us that we should see 3D-Ready projectors in the marketplace this year. The demonstration was of the company's 720p HD65 projector, and included the use of some prototype shutter glasses.

The projector had been given a firmware update to handle 120Hz 3D projection and the results were certainly impressive. "Projectors have a distinct advantage when it comes to 3D," explained Justin Halls, Senior Product Manager for Home Cinema at Optoma. "3D works best with large screens – the bigger the screen, the more immersive the experience."

3D for free

When we asked Hall about availability for the projectors, he told us "you will see the 3D-Ready version of the HD65 before the end of the year." And what will it be called? Most likely Optoma is going to opt for the simple but effective moniker HD65 3D. Usually with 3D technology, price is at a premium but Halls explained that this won't be the case with Optoma's range of 3D-Ready projectors.

"Currently the HD65 is selling for £549 and that will be the price of the 3D-Ready version. All we have to do is upgrade the firmware, so consumers will get the best of both worlds out of their Optoma projectors for no added cost." Well, technically there is a cost, and that will be for the glasses. Although there is no fixed pricing on these, they should be available before the year is up for around £70 a pair.

3D gaming

Halls also revealed that Optoma hopes to make its whole range of projectors 3D-Ready in the near future. Although it is unlikely that 3D movies will be forthcoming anytime soon, Optoma is hoping that 3D gaming will fill the gap, with the likes of Nvidia already releasing 3D-Ready graphics systems.

3D? Picture will leap out off screen?

If it is as impressive as those in theme parks and more titles in 3D, I will definitely get one for myself. Erm, and another entry level 1080p for normal viewing.

It says that we can upgrade our HD-65 to 3D FOC by upgrading the firmware. Is this true??

Yeah, looks like it. But you need to buy the 3D glasses as well. £70 a pair.

r we talking abt those bluray 3D movies.. or it can make all movies into 3D?

3D movies. The last paragraph says so.

Finally got to calibrate the HD65. Impressive set. Managed to set gamma at 2.4 (only 90% stimulus had lower gamma)Delta E1976 Grayscale errors were less than 3 at all stimulus levels. Cinema mode had the best gamma. Colour errors were below DE 1994 of 5 except for green and cyan. They were quire high. There is no colour control so there is no way to improve it. Hackwire's room is light controlled and the walls are matte black. Cinema 100% white was 11ftL. Since his room is fully light controlled this was bright enough. No clipping of green, red and blue at high and low end of the white/black.

Also calibrated bright mode for the fun of it. DE1976 for grayscale was <3 for all stimulus except 80 -100%. Bright image 20ftL. Gamma was also very decent at 2.35.

Hackwire's room is super cool. Total black!

Overall, very good for a budget set.

Great to hear abt the calibration Will be going to hackwire's place to check it out when I have time.

bro, can translate that into layman language?

For a budget set, it gives good results post calibration.
