    HDMI Pre/Pro's suggestions...

    HDMI pre/pros? There is only 2 other choices on the market: 1) Lexicon MC-12HD: doesn't pass 1080p (unbelievable!), and no video processing of 1080p/p24/1080p60. So you have to buy a high-end external scaler to get the same quality video processing you get with the D2. So MC-12HD +...

    Anthem AVM 50, right for this application?

    You should read the gigantic Anthem D2 thread I did start on AVS. Over 200 pages and 1000 posts long. Alot of D2/AVM50 owners made the switch from the Lexion MC12-HD or MC12-B + DVDO VP50 and PREFER the D2/AVM50 for sound quality (over HDMI) AND video processing. I was able to compare the...

    Jvc D-ila Rs1

    That's not a really good link. Fleener is a dealer pushing a 3 years old Infocus projector he's selling. :rolleyes: You shouldn't take anything he's saying seriously. I have 2 HD-1 at home (RS-1 clone), and it's easily the best projector under 20K$ IMHO I've seen. I was also able to try...

    So I'm looking for the best picture....

    My JVC HD-1 (RS-1 clone...) paired with a 110" Da-Lite Hi-Power screen is like a giant plasma. Paired with a Toshiba HD-XA2 (HD-DVD) and a Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 (Blu-ray) at 1080p24, the picture quality is unbelievable. Colors are a little bit oversaturated on those new JVCs, but it's not...

    1080p hype??

    Before the JVC HD-1, I was using 1080p48 over DVI with the Sony Ruby, since that projector can only accept 1080p60 over HDMI. :D So you just have to use the DVI connection and 1080p48 with your Ruby. ;)

    1080p hype??

    I'm using the Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 (Blu-ray player) with the new JVC HD-1 (RS-1 clone) at 1080p24 out and in without any problems. My scaler is even accepting and outputting 1080p24 also. No judder, really smooth watching.

    If you had to buy HD or Blue Ray tommorow,which one

    I already have both. HD-DVD: Toshiba HD-XA2 (1080p), 2X X-Box 360 add-on. Blu-ray: Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 (1080p). All I want is HD movies, and I don't care about the "war" at all. I have over 100 tiltes (76 HD-DVDs and 26 Blu-rays) and around 20 more coming in the next weeks.

    Video Upscaling via A/V Receiver - Worth It?

    Not always an after tought. ;) The Anthem AVM50 and D2 are both using the Gennum VXP chip for de-interlacing and scaling, with true inverse telecine and per-pixel motion adaptive de-interlacing, even with 1080i. The AVM50/D2 can now do (with the latest firmware upgrade) custom...

    Understanding HDMI Ver 1.3

    My Anthem D2 is HDMI 1.1, and I'm using 1080p48 and 1080p60 with it without any problems. 1080p24 in (yep, it does accept 1080p24 in) and 1080p24/60 out without a glitch... Also. My new Toshiba HD-XA2 can decode DTS-HD internally and send it to any receiver or pre/pro with HDMI 1.1...

    Looking for a good Blue Ray player.

    After trying almost all the Blu-ray players on the market (Samsung, Panasonic, PS3, Pioneer), the answer is really simple. :) Best bang-for-the-buck: PS3 Best picture quality (but more $): Pioneer BDP-HD1

    Denon DVD-3930CI Review

    If someone is thinking of buying the Denon 3910ci ONLY for picture quality, then they should think about the Toshiba HD-XA2 (HD-DVD player) instead... After comparing both, the Toshiba is giving a better PQ with standard DVDs, but the Toshiba is coming with a nice bonus: it's a great HD-DVD...

    Holy smokes!! The anthem d2 preamp amd p5 power amp

    All those glowing reviews for the Anthem Statement line are well deserved. I'm using the D2 since 11 months already, with a P5 and a P2 amps, and I'm more then satisfied. The D2 is the only pre/pro on the market with a true high-end scaler using the Gennum VXP chip. And it was the only...

    Why wait for HDMI 1.3

    I've read that in another forum and it,s really interesting: "When using a HD-DVD player, if you are playing a movie you can bring up the movies setup menu and it overlays on top of the movie and the movie keeps playing. Also, you can get menu sound effects which are mixed right into the...

    Infocus 7205, Rainbows!

    I was able to try the new Marantz 1 chip 1080p at 15K$ last week and I was affected by rainbow affects, just like every 1 chip DLP 720p I have seen before. My wife was even having headaches and nausea after 30-45 minutes. Picture was really nice, but I can't live with the risk of having...

    Sony Pearl VPL-VW50 1080p $6,290.65

    No. The Pearl is not using a Xenon bulb, but a UHP bulb. So the price of the bulb should be around 1/2 the price. Cine4Home just finished reviewing the new Sony "Pearl" (in german only) and here's a pic of the Pearl UHP bulb:

    For PJ users- what size is your screen?

    Sony Ruby VPL-VW100 1080p. Da-Lite Hi-Power 110" (dia), 16X9. I'm sitting at 1X screen width (8'), since there is no SDE with SXRD, and also because with 1080p, you can sit at 1X screen width w/o any problems. :D No need to sit at 1.5X screen width (12' !!!) or more with that projector...
