Cannot be. Sure have diff. You try THX calibration disc. In the sharpness setting section, can see the difference. Btw, I am using Pioneer DV-400S.
In this case, I dont think the source is the problem |

QUOTE(mys_terious @ Jun 25 2008, 08:38 AM) i am using avia disc with 78h.. adjusting the sharpness to max or min doesnt change the test pattern at all.. strange Only for this particular function? How abt when watching BD? Can adjust the sharpness and see the difference? It should have noticable difference.  |

QUOTE(hackwire @ Jun 26 2008, 11:37 AM) i use the DVE (Digital Video Essential) i face the same problem too. it does not change. HTKaki. is this true? Are you using DV-400S? Try to use THX calibration disc and see. QUOTE Sometime the image look so clear but when i took picture it ended up so bad because of my camera or my zero knowledge as a photographer. I think I have tried one time too many. Gave up. It doesnt look that good even I tried using tripod. Maybe have to get a nice camera to do that. |

Try using THX disc or your Pioneer DV-400S. Btw, some ppl encountered lens problem after watching DVDs using PS3. I dare not to take the risk

QUOTE(nira_110 @ Jun 27 2008, 07:53 PM) the picture wasnt paused. Seriously, i dont know how to take good picture I think it may be due to the camera. It was quite good compared to mine. My previous shot : I used the wrong ISO setting. Hence, a lot of 'noise' in the photo. I will take some shots of my HD65 setting as well as screenshots of 300 and Black Hawk Down BD. |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Jun 28 2008, 10:03 AM) bro, semalam i try taking also... jialat.... picture shaky like hell.... my hand trembling.... cant really get a good picture... Later, I will try to take some shots. finally, finish a movie with my wife yesterday, dem kesian, both sitting on a stoll..... accroding to wife, projector still the best  * she used to think tat pj are suppose to be blurry  A lot of people have the misconception that projector is blurry and needs total darkened room, which is wrong as most of HD pj in the market today are bright and beam up excellent picture. rx330, your wife rejected the idea of a HD pj at first. Now, she is enjoying it. Seeing is believing |

QUOTE(zyberius @ Jun 28 2008, 05:03 PM) What is cost of replacement bulb for HD65? And where can see demo of this PJ? Hi, drop a PM to hackwire. He will welcome you for a demo. The bulb is abt RM580.http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/366796 Here's the setting of my HD65 for afternoon viewing due to ambient light in my room   And afternoon (1.30pm) viewing with ambient light. Source is DiVX file in pendrive via DV-400S. This will dispel off any myth about a need for total darkened room.   Tonight will take some screenshots for night setting plus 300 and Black Hawk Down BD. |

QUOTE(fentanyl @ Jun 28 2008, 08:32 PM) We've got Top Gear fan here! Hehe.... yeah... as funny as ever. Top Gear is back!What is the DivX file resolution? Is it 624 x 352?  The rez is 640 x 352. I didnt expect it to look that 'decent' on my HD65 QUOTE bro, i like to visit your place.. Bro, cant seal it off due to HM issue 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>  Have to live with it.I use the DVDP and PS3 to adjust now as there is only 1 user setting in HD65. Then again, the default setting of HD65 is quite good. Only thing is you need to adjust the brightness according to your ambient light. Just back from dinner. Not going to take screenshots tonight. Maybe tomorrow. |

superwide not meant for 16:9. It is for 2.35:1
Any DVD with THX has this calibration in it. Both audio and visual. |

QUOTE(zyberius @ Jun 29 2008, 11:29 PM) Thanks, will do so sometime later. Now need to finish off some work projects before can pursue this. In the meantime, am thinking what to do with my Dell PJ. Like megatron007 and silbii did to their pjs, sell it off here. We have another HD65 kaki in da house; silbii. Welcome to the club.  I didnt manage to take screenshots yesterday. Hopefully, tonight. Other kakis, could you all contribute some sceenshots and settings here? TIA |

I do hope to see more shots on your HD65 setting. Pls also elaborate briefly on your room environment too.

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

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

QUOTE(mys_terious @ Jul 4 2008, 04:02 AM) game set match.. just now watch national treasure half way suddenly loud pop... pj bulb logo with red light turned on ... after so few hours of watching already bulb rosak i think... never on off the pj quickly..nvr use bright mode.. nvr move pj b4 when it as hot...nothing blocked airflow around pj ... aircon blowing pj direction so if it was overheating it wasnt my fault:(.. tulan nia..any1 kena like me or not.. definately below 500 hours maybe below 150 hours.. should be ALOT less but i havent checked the hours for a long time... hopefully just bulb defect and not my pj.. when i tried to on the pj after 3 hours i only heard loud fan noise like when u wanna turn off the pj Bro, so unlucky. Mine is okay (touch wood). I think mega's HD65 clocked the most hours here. Anyway, yours is under warranty. You send it back to the shop that you bought up north. |

QUOTE(crazyconsumer @ Jul 4 2008, 10:05 AM) Sorry for bad luck. As far as I am concerned, new HD65 should have warranty if it is bought in Malaysia. Since HD65 is less than a year model and taking into consideration of the usage of the bulb, I dont think there is any issue with warranty claim if mys_terious send it back to the shop that he bought from. This is one of those cases, where it's not advisable to buy without warranty... all luck  QUOTE dun worri pal Definitely YES haiway laser & HTleg all legit barang + warranty one |

Some shot taken using IS080 on tripod. Cheapo digicam Ixus80IS. Manual setting with timer. Not very nice. Maybe need to use DSLR
