Will be serenaded by the dual IB system.

betty boop Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 would love to come norpus, and can bring a nice red along as well ! really looking forward to hd-dvd in its full glory !
50mxe20 Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I should grab a flight and go see the Dockers beat Melbourne as well. Tempting.
DuyKha Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 norpus, would love to come and see it with your ausiemorphic. My unit won't be delivered until Tue. Happy to bring along a nice pinot . Also, happy to bring some HD DVDs (I have about 20 titles) - let me know.
Spearmint Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I’ll be their Norpus, BTW will there be any HD Porn shown on the day? :ph34r: I do have a lovely Red for you guys to try…Picked it up at the vineyard we had lunch at last weekend.
RodN Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I'll be there. My vote is for "Dune" but its an aquired taste. Do you need popcorn. What time are we kicking off?
DuyKha Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I'll be there. My vote is for "Dune" but its an aquired taste. Do you need popcorn.What time are we kicking off? Agree - Dune is an acquired taste. In terms of PQ to show off the JVC would you consider something else?
norpus Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Agree - Dune is an acquired taste. In terms of PQ to show off the JVC would you consider something else? Sure anything goes, bring what you prefer and we'll see what there is to put on I must say Dune is quite stunning for PQ - the detail on the uniforms and shading is quite extraordinary Anyone who wants to tweak, come a little earlier say 12. I'd like to make sure we watch a full movie or even 2 if we get the chance. There is a verandah for people to take a break, drink and chat so the visuals don't get interrupted I'll be spending a bit of time out there for sure, just catching up with people
Drizt Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Great opportunity guys. Have fun, sorry I can't make it. Al's Departed might be worth a run as he says its top notch.
Maverick Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 It is times like this that living in a remote region really bites! Hope you all have a great time, would have been nice to put handles to faces but I think that will never happen as long as I continue to live in this black hole of Calcutta.

Sorry you can't make it drizt - now that the svs gtg is not on, would you reconsider? Would be most welcome mate Yes The Departed may get a run - I got that in HK last week

Would be most welcome mate Yes The Departed may get a run - I got that in HK last week Would have loved to, but have a few things I have to get done (In a way I was relieved the SVS gtg was postponed). Ill be along to the next gtg for sure mate. Apologies again. Although, probably a bad idea, as that projector will surely make me want to buy one... (and I certainly don't have the money!)

Blacks are very deep Franin - certainly superior to my dc3 dlp And yes, I am very happy I upgraded - certainly a good sized step up again
franin Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Blacks are very deep Franin - certainly superior to my dc3 dlpAnd yes, I am very happy I upgraded - certainly a good sized step up again Thats awesome news.Im going to have to get one.I said to my wife this is last time im going to upgrade for awhile(Just spent $10,000 on a stewarts screen and Aarron speakers so she wasn't exactly all smiles), I don't want the other two projectors(The sim or the mitsubishi), I want to make it right I want the JVC. I bet you know when your watching a movie you cant get that smile off your face.

You won't be sorry Franin It'll really pop with the Stewart too - a great match that I am considering too

norpus Posted April 21, 2007 Author Posted April 21, 2007 will have to catch up another time mate.......soon l hope, though like dritz l'll probably want one too and no money here atm either catch ya Ken Sure, there will be another time. It sure aint going anywhere
Foggy Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Bugger... wish I could be there It would have been even better if you still had your 8720, then people could see for themselves the quantum leap forward that the JVC brings. I've been ruined, ever since I saw the JVC, I have been whingeing incessantly about the washed out picture and poor blacks on my 8720. My wife is starting to get annoyed by my complaining, so hopefully after a few more months, she may cave in and let me upgrade to norpus's hand-me-down JVC
