Matt_Walker Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just now, Chopsus said: Krickey thats $1000-$2000 saved in lamps alone over a jack dila! Spot on - if you prefer lamps still though the W11000 is $7999! I think the colour using this new Philips HLD LED will blow some serious socks off though. The reports from QLD were astonishing - I cannot wait to have a good play with this thing over the coming weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently calibrated the Epson 9300 rated at 2500 lumens and SDR looked really good. It seemed the light output for HDR/WCG was compromised allow for the "highlights" of HDR. Overall the picture looked better than SDR, but way dimmer when changing user modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mark, Spot on and therein lies the issue - it is impossible to reproduce HDR in a projector and the reason BenQ do not put it in. Although a lot of our competitors claim HDR compatibility there is NO STANDARD for HDR in projection ... yet! Later this year we will see the minimum standards that will be required to claim true HDR in a projector - until then it is just claims and marketing spruik! This projector produces a calibrated DCI-P3 colour space and I would go as far as to suggest it is the best looking projector I have ever seen. (and I have seen a few!) ... but I am biased! Lets see what those who come along think!! Cheers, Matt Edited March 10, 2017 by Matt_Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that projector was only BT709 where this is claiming DCI/P3 or BT1886. It seems the HTPC guys in the States are now watching their UHD titles in WCG with HDR disabled. I can't believe the SMPTE would approve such a thing without standards. It makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense. some are...where they havent figured out how to get the best of HDR for projectors or running WAY too big a screen or with a projector without enough output to sustain HDR. I've been running HDR and WCG since day 1 and to remove those two elements i would suggest is like taking a ferrari and then letting down its tyres and on top of that having it run on some low octane canola oil in most cases the tide has turned with people figuring out how to run projectors to take full advantage of HDR and WCG. after all these two aspects are the two no 1 WOW factors for UHD, infact far outweighing the 4k aspect I would suggest. We have had some stunners of movies for this too. its almost the case of treat after treat we are served up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoggieHowser Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Al is right. JVC has done an amazing job with HDR profiles in their latest eshift models. Watching the same UHD discs on a Sony ZD9 vs the X9500 shows how close the two are in portraying HDR using out of the box settings. Owners of the old X?000 versions have been using custom gamma profiles to get similar results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agelessgoodguy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks Matt for ther invite and presenation you have a fantastic product in the 4K LED PJ that will likely walk off the shelves I think, well done to you and BenQ & BPC too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks to Matt and the BPP team for an interesting demo. The X1200 is a competitive product. Great colour (apparently meets P3 and goes most of the way to BT2020). Excellent sharpness. I didn't see any chromatic aberration. Motion handling was good. Black levels are more in line with Sony (would have liked to see if turning on the dynamic iris made much difference) and not threatening JVC. Upscaling of 1080 material was quite impressive. Nice to see BenQ back with a competitive high end projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muriwai Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yes ,big thanks Matt ,and the team at BPP Fountain Gate,impressive projector,and has been priced to enter the market very competitively ,did a great job of upscaling 1080p material,and looked superb on native 4k,agree with Quark tho ,not quite the black levels of the JVC X series,but not sure if the Iris was activated ?great effort from BenQ and sure to shake up the market a bit ,regards Muri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
