First new video display in a decade....

163.179.158.118

After watching the convergence on my ancient 48" Toshiba go South, I finally decided to run up a little debt and blow bucks on a decent DLP Front Projector (okay not-SOTA but something I can afford (maybe?)) and big screen (Sharp10000/Stewart Firehawk combo).

We got the screen installed and the FP "temporarily" installed with appropriate electrical connections/calibration (e.g. keystone adjustments, test DVD-Vs, lose the cabling stretched out across the middle of the floor, etc...) to follow.

Right out the box, the picture was very good (to my untrained eyes); even with a non-progressive, fairly mediocre DVD-V source (SACD1000). I can only wonder what will happen when I properly tweak the video, get a good (progressive scan ??), perhaps DVI-capable source, power conditioning, etc....

Now need to work on HD source, DVI and/or Progressive Scan source, DVI cables, DVI/component switchers....

More later...
