Well, we actually had time to sit down and watch a movie last night – SpyKids2. <\/p>\n
The movie itself was entertaining. I really like Robert Rodriguez, ever since his first with El Mariachi. It is a quirky movie and I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, but thumbs up from me. The 10 minute film school was worth the price of the DVD.<\/p>\n
The blacks were too black at the start of the movie, but we turned on the projector and watched the movie — no warmup. The movie itself has some fairly ‘dark’ opening scenes as well. After the movie was over I went back and reviewed the opening (dark) scenes and found that I had much better black detail. I’m hoping there is a fine line between warmup time and proper calibration that will give a good balance of ‘instant on’ watching but not be overly bright once the unit warms up a bit. <\/p>\n
The blue tube is a growing concern. At one point during the movie I saw one raster line of bright blue randomly on the screen. I need to track down what is going on, it might require swapping the neck boards to see if the problem moves with it.<\/p>\n
Overall, I’m pleased with the image quality. I think moving up to the 9″ CRT from the ECP 7″ has helped in detail and brightness and it shows in the end image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
