If you are noticeing too many noisy elements you could just use an ND filter and dim it down a bit and that should take care of it. I do think it looked good anyway and I think that a HD2 would be an even better match with the SS due to the contrast ratio. I didn't get to watch my HT300 fully fill the screen on the SS before I sold it so I can't be sure that the DLP artifacts were not visible. Of course in the HD version of ATOC those crawlies are completely absent. The red wall behind them has significant crawlies on the SS that are barely noticeable on the Firehawk. Watching the chase scene in ATOC where there are lots of city lights they are vivid on the SS while the Firehawk they are muted.Īlso, if you watch the scene in the second chapter when they are all meeting in the chancellors office. Where this screen excels is when there is light in the scene it pops to life. The black level is definately raised in the dark scenes it is obvious. I watched ATOC and looked for artifacts, black level etc. I hung my SS behind my retractible Firehawk and brought the Firehawk down half way. I am now of the opinion that I would rather see everything that there is to see in the original source material, even if that includes more noticeable artifacts, than to have the screen fail to show me things such as shadow detail, brighter colors etc.Ĭompletely open to comments regarding the above!

From this standpoint, this pj should be an even better fit with the SS than Tryg's current D-ILA. That being said, I will be using a Dwin TV3, which rivals the best black levels that I have seen from a digital projector, which correlates with very good contrast. Regarding black levels.I have little doubt that this screen will raise black levels to an extent. In this case, it appears these other screens may be hiding (failing to show) shadow detail, whiter whites, and brighter colors that really pop. So, if the screen is in fact hiding artifacts, we can only wonder what else it is hiding, (or failing to show us) right? If so, I don't think it is possible for a screen to only hide artifacts. However, if the artifacts are still there in the source, wouldn't it be correct to state that these other screens are actually 'hiding' these artifacts? Or, better stated, they aren't showing the artifacts? The SS may show these artifacts more than other (lower gain) screens.

I haven't had a direct response to the above, which I originally posted on the previous page, but I have been trying to answer this question myself (with a little help from my friends)!Īssuming that what is being seen on the SS is, in fact, compression artifacts, this is something that is in the source itself. If you are using a D-ILA with this screen, which is one of the smoothest, cleanest pj's out there, and you are seeing artifacts with it, wouldn't the artifacts be even worse with a DLP (even the HD2's)? However, you have also stated the screen is very revealing of limitations in setup and source material, including artifacts. You say that the HD2 DLP's would be a 'great match'.
