great, hope to see different setting.

can anyone give some advice on what type of screen to get for hd65?

i'm thinking of getting a manual pull-down screen since planning to ceiling mount in living room

This post has been edited by ycs: Jun 6 2008, 12:23 PM

if you control the ambient lighting, then a matt white 16:9 screen would be ideal. Else, opt for high contrast grey screen.

matt white give more brightness better white & blue kaler

grey one give darker contracts

This some screen shoot from a a guy with Optoma HD65, Toshiba EP30, Philips DVP 5980. Very amazing PQ.

http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=747144
A group HD65 owners share their HD65 setting in avforums.

Yeah, we frequent there too. I seldom post. Just read

I'm using HD70... is it can be consired as HD65 also, right?

no it isnt, u are our big brother, welcum home

Yes, HD70 is the older sibling of HD65. It is more expensive. However, it is no longer in production.

how the fan noise for the hd65?? is it really2 quiet...coz i have a 4805...freakin loud....hehe

my room always with aircond ON =HD65 ON

so I do hear the HD65 fan blow off..but it is not tat loud

it is position-ed about 3-4feet above my ears

Added on June 17, 2008, 8:38 amI m using the setting posted by the review .... just reduce the BC to 5 the rest still the same

anyone use "PETER" setting posted in AVSforum lately?

his one might more toward "HTPC setup" with alot "soft filter" to enhance the image

This post has been edited by megatron007: Jun 17 2008, 08:38 AM

same here. Using the projectorreview setting. Reduce Brightness to -5.

my brigtness stay at -ve3 for better detail for dark scene

but the BC reduce to 5 instead of 8


so far to me this setting is best

unless we can do a "colorimeter" test

This post has been edited by megatron007: Jun 17 2008, 09:12 AM

Must look for tott to do that for us

one of u guys do it can oledi

we apply the setting n adjust from there

btw... the AI got abit lagging when switch dark to bright scene or VV...it is common? or the unit faulty?

U mean like got 'motion juddering'?

wats the setting?

i think the noise is there, but not bothering me

anything with AI on sure got a bit of lagging one because the video processor need to constantly adjust mar. Same goes with most lcd / plasma tv.

okok

then "Stick" to AI "delay"

not in production...is both using same bulb?

Got 'delay' function for AI? I thought it's either 'ON' or 'OFF'

when u ON it

u feel there is a DELAY

AVSforum discuss-ed with it

I doubt that it is using the same bulb as the HD65 is way more compact than HD70

actually there is a so called OEM bulb with part number

correct me if i m wrong

*need to find the details in AVS

But I doubt it is available locally. Unless, buy online from US

HD65 out of the box - projected on wall

got some "tsunami" that is visible. Malaysia "boleh" wall.

I guess your camera not so good lah, H65 picture quality shld not look like this even in the normal white wall.

ya...taken without tripod, and old digicam, and not forgetting my unpolished photo skill, fully my bad, aint hd65's.

welcome to HD65 club, kiam When your screen mat arrives, please take some shots of it.

Today, we will have another forummer joining HD65 club

The list is growing!

Good new... are the CR007 on BD ? or just DVD ?

well come to HD65 ... also welcome to BLU

I'm sorry, Still with my faithfull cheapo BenQ 6100 (done only 688 hrs) and I know Maxx price is attractive for me get one HD65. Was in US florida last month didn't see much H65. but there do have HD70 ard selling USD945.

Unfortunately, the last HD70 was sold to avjunior before Chinese New Year. Btw, please welcome vyzar to our HD65 club

I hope with the growing numbers of HD65 owners, we can share our setup and settings. Hoping to see more screenshots from them kiam's HM was impressed with the HD65 PQ and its brightness when he auditioned it at my home. Paiseh for my budget audio setup there

welcome vyzar to HD65 clubbie! do post us your setup.

do bring your HM to see the setup so that you can get the approval "chop". HTkaki's pad is nice and cozy. nice setup man. hope to audition again when you get your next item in the HT list!

not sure if i've asked this...but hows the fan noise for this model? coz i normally have to place my pj on a coffee table in front of me since cant hang it...so fan noise is one big factor for me...

read somewhere that it's not really whisper quiet...what u guys think?

The fan noise is acceptable to me. Not annoying even i placed it on coffee table, which is about 3' from my seat. I am not sure abt other users here.

will this thread be locked?

becos we never buy "barang" from haiwaylaser?? or our HD65 not from them??

nope. because of u with all your zero value post.

yes boss... my sincere apologies

i think scotty has a point there

You're d man.

I always find it rude for ppl to bring in company's name into forum discussion. Especially when they start to say that this shop has got attitude problem, that shop has got bad customer service. Its always a one sided discussion especially when they shop's representative is not present in the discussion. This can seriously tarnish the shop's reputation.

mys_terious,

how's ur HD65 from haiway laser? any hiccup on the bulb so far?? I heard US fellow most are doing great in AVSforum

Added on June 24, 2008, 1:15 pmtotally agree...like i remember last time whole bunch of u guys flow to xyz installer for ICE

This post has been edited by megatron007: Jun 24 2008, 01:15 PM

well, we did flow to certain particular ICE installer but from my point of view, i choose them due to my preference but i have never bad mouth any installer in any forum.....i may have mention some in some teh tarik session but not in public forum cos everyone has to make a living.....

Hello, can we stick back to our topic here? Tks.

vyzar, care to post some photos of your newly installed seetup here?

HTLeg

tat's all our KAKIs? I tot got more ?

some of them are walk-in customers mah. I think there are 2 more users here. Cant recall their nicks. Age is catching up on me fast

yah lar, nanti kena solex baru tau! btw, how suitable izzit for ht projectors to be used for multimedia presentation? might wan poison my boss get one hd65 rather than normal dell pj

until now no hiccup yet (keeping my jari crossed).. no heat issue for me too coz my aircon is blowing directly at hd65.. one noob question i wanna ask is with my sony 78h connecting to hd 65 thru hdmi, i cant adjust sharpness at hd65.. with sharpness set to max or min also no effect... is this normal?

This post has been edited by mys_terious: Jun 24 2008, 03:06 PM

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

I have sammy HD850 DVDP, HDMI also

no problem on tat

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.

i havent even touched a BD b4.. dont hurt me like that la hehe.. the only time i have watched BD is during the demo when i purchased my pj

walao

still watching "lulian" sorry i mean DVD on HD65?

cannot like tat ..pls join the BLU -site

no money ler.. bd still too expensive for me.. if can rent then i sure buy a ps3.. watching sd dvd on hd65 is still better than watching sd dvd on tv for me.. maybe u guys could form a bd club for bd exchange program

BD exchange ?? not a very good idea

but there are some ppl giving rentign service

u can give a try

my bd ain't leaving my house mate! except maybe bring it to other bro's house to test test can lar

so presciese ker?

kekeke

i dun pinjam bd from ppl and so dun pinjam to ppl also It's mine...... It's all mine!!!!! My preeeeeecccciiiiiooooouuuuussssss!

Aiks, I thought you have PS3

It's ok. I shall post some snapshots of my HD65 setting for PS3 this Saturday (poison)

Just found out that nira_110 is using HD65 for her DVD and BD watching. I PMed her abt this thread.

This post has been edited by htkaki: Jun 25 2008, 10:59 PM

Thank you htkaki. I bought HD65 last February but only setup in early March. I enjoy watching movies but
i do not watch astro even i have 2 astro in my house. Reason is, i like to watch my own choice of movie at my ample time.
And because of that, i need something that can satisfy me a lot. One movie and that's it for the day.

HD65 truly awesome for me, more than enough i get from my budget.

I am not pro with HT, my setup is in my bedroom, basically just for my own eyes and ears sake justification. My husband is not a HT enthusiast
so everything is up to me, including i am the one who pasang the shelf

Kak Nira...

I m very impressed with your HT spirit...if u do need help

just shout it out here ... BTW, wat setting u applied on HD65 for ur BD viewing

We might able to help & share out more info

welcome nira

You all HD65 owner...care to post more screenshot photos??

bro u can visit hackwire pad for real action

he is always welcome us

go see actual one better, pictures dun do justice

thank you guys...hope i can learn more in here.
Yes i agree. It is hard to tell how awesome it is with picture taking.
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.

nira, since u are here, so sorry for wat happen at the bluray thread

from wat i read in other forum, u need to do settin to ur kamela, and if possible place it on a tripod with remote better to get the best effect

You must be a lecturer right? Got time to watch movies and play your PSP ar? What camera u have? Maybe I can help?

wow! we have the first female owning hd65? welcome to the group. hope to see more picture of your setup.

It's okay. No hard feeling. I love to read more than to post.

I am a peasant only, I do not have a good camera

i use the DVE (Digital Video Essential) i face the same problem too. it does not change. HTKaki. is this true?
