Mark5 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 for a suggested retail price of 5 grand do you get free pron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 for a suggested retail price of 5 grand do you get free pron? it was out the door for just over 3K.... kick ass deal. included the stand, (2) HDMI cables, a set of component cables, 3 year warrant for another bulb & pick up and removal of my old 400 lb. projection. now i just gotta figure the best way to wire the thing..... there's about 20 different wiring options between my sound system & the new HD cable box... not to mention the back of the TV looks like a mixer board.

Down Goes Frazia Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 wow...when I saw it was a JVC, I said..meh... ..... it's pretty highly rated in everyone publication I looked at. Now, I'm not for a minute, gonna sit here & claim to know alot about all this stuff, although over the past month I've learned alot more..... but this new HD-ILA technology is f'n sweet. HD-ILA overview for you geeks. pretty interesting stuff. this thing is alsso quite a bit thinner than the DLP, LCD models the same size.... certainly not like a plasma but much closer.

Kid Cid Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Go to avsforums or hometheaterspot and do a search on ISF calibration... You can get started with a DVD like Avia Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials, but it's worth it to have it done by a pro IMO.

It is better to get it done by a pro, but that DVD makes it easy. Takes less than 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one I have as well, but you can't do greyscale with it. For that reason alone you need to have a pro do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD-ILA overview for you geeks. pretty interesting stuff. this thing is alsso quite a bit thinner than the DLP, LCD models the same size.... certainly not like a plasma but much closer. HD-ILA is harder to manufacture than the other types...and I've noticed that JVC TV's tend to need repair more often than say a Sony or Samsung.... Panasonic and JVC are some of the top TV brands that have problems with this, but Panasonic makes great DVD players.....I like JVC alot....but their TV's are a hit/miss.... yet...your TV is a high end model and I think JVC has worked out the kinks by now before making their 1080p models..... the TV you have is gold...so don't misinterpret what I am saying like your TV isn't that great....you made a wise decision.....no if and's or buts about it... enjoy your HD experience....and if you're looking for an upconversion DVD player....check out 'Oppo'...I wouldn't recommend a HD-DVD or Blu-ray model yet as the 1st generations are crap....

OK...... so I need to call who for this ? Is this something that's included in the 1 year factory warranty from JVC or the 3 year extended plan thru the dealer ? and WT--F am I calibrating ? the DVD player to the TV..... or the TV itself, or what ? I needed to ask these questions when I bought the d*mn thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Goes Frazia Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) enjoy your HD experience....and if you're looking for an upconversion DVD player....check out 'Oppo'...I wouldn't recommend a HD-DVD or Blu-ray model yet as the 1st generations are crap.... thnx dude for the info & feedback. As for the upgrading of the DVD player..... that's gonna have to wait for a while. I went top end of my alotted budget here ( over a bit actually)..... and this was one month on the heels of Mrs. Frazia dropping 30K for a new jeep. my electronic piggybank is empty for a year or two.

montster Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 OK...... so I need to call who for this ?

I needed to ask these questions when I bought the d*mn thing. this is someone i found in my area: Avical. there are some explanations about the services they provide, but it's $425 to calibrate. from what i understand, the surround-sound system, dvd player, all that stuff figures into the calibration. the other option is to never see what a properly calibrated set looks like, and just subscribe to the "ignorance is bliss" philosophy.
