Who Wants To See The Jvc Hd1 Projector In Melbourne?

[DuyKha]

And there was a special treat, the premier of the first Pioneer BluRay player in Australia

And what a beautifully detailed picture at 1080p24 on the Dreambee

Every grain of sand was resolved in the 'Into the Blue' movie

I was told the Pioneer is $1,999 RRP.

So, norpus, DuyK, and anyone else who may have dropped into eHome....

Did you put the grid pattern up and check for any misconvergence?

Were the menus the same as the JVC menus? (see screenshots on cine4home)

I'm curious to see if Dreamvision have their own firmware, which may not have the same convergence adjustments, and probably more importantly... if you can load any future JVC firmware updates that might come along.

I was also told this by Pioneer - I will ring my rep today and find out.

The only grid pattern I saw was a green one from the dreambee remote

It was several pixels wide and being all green I didn't expect to see any other colours

There was no white grid that I found

The grayscale was very easy to pick out all the gradations. On green also

On red and blue it was more difficult to pick the difference between last and second last gradation, but there was a diff as there should be

I didn't spend a lot of time testing tbh - just marvelled at the image on HD movie mostly

I did not feel the need to go in deep into the menus

[Foggy]

oh yeah, I forgot that the grid pattern is hidden away in the Service Menu on the JVC

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it.... like I said, you'll have no regrets, the JVC is a huge step up in black levels and in-scene contrast.

Did you ask Geoff if it uses the JVC firmware?

It is going to be RRP $1999 for June release. The units on demo are not the final units - they are 110 volt units from the US and are not the same.

Also be aware -

When they are released they will be Zone B only and will only play Region 4 DVD.

I can confirm that. the unit instore would only play r1 dvds and had a transformer for our power.

I posted a separate thread on the player in the h-def format subforum

Dreamvision are known for issuing firmware updates, so I would imagine as JVC ones pop along, so too will a Dreamvision equivalent.

Cool, thats a good thing as I already have the Toshie HDA1 that does a great job on R1

Might be able to sell the Denon 3910/3805 combo then as won't need the dvd player anymore
