Amazon AU free shipping, $122AUD Shipped. Says Original, Spec and pics are correct NSHA265JK bulbs... Looks like they come from China, but I am sure they are made there anyway. I might confirm they are actually USHIO first. https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08CZV3B2L/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2H2E7OAWC994G&psc=1 Else, you can try these guys in Europe, 115 Euro and only 6 euro shipping. Ushio brand though its the NSHA250JK. Will work out less than the US deal Dominic was doing. https://www.beamer-parts.eu/projector-lamp/ushio/ushio-nsha250jk/ It always pissed me off that the JVC lamps and specs list 265w bulbs, and EVEN the housing states 265w bulbs, but the bulb itself in the 3 housings I have here are 250w. There IS an Ushio 265W bulb, so I am going to do my best to actually get one of those. Edited September 17, 2020 by Javs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to switch the iris back to Auto 2 & see how it’s faring. If you have the Spears and munsil disc the best way to check the iris is using the Luminance Loading under Video processing. Don't stare directly at the lens but on and angle you can actually see the Iris at work. It fully opens and fully closes.

I might do a recording of the sound it's making if I can re-product it too so you can all have a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you ever get a chance to get the spears and munsil disc UHD it’s worth it for other tests but definitely a good test for your iris. I do it every now and then to check mine.

I have used the end of movie credits to test auto-iris. When one or two lines of bright white letters on a black background are displayed, you can usually see the effect of the iris quickly reducing the aperture and the letters go from very bright to less so.

Just curious - have you experienced any notable drop in brightness since passing 50% lamp life on the N5. I've heard people recommend changing the lamp around 50% lamp life.

Squall88 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Re: Low latency mode Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has experience with low latency mode on the N series. Feels much smoother when turned on. However, does it cause any detriment to picture quality and resolution? Cheers Sand Edited September 26, 2020 by Squall88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP1 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Low latency mode generally switches off some other video processing to speed things up. I think that would include the Clear Motion drive function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
