Looking at the little diagram in the manual, seems Auto would be the way to go but just want to check. I guess Auto or Native will pretty much have the same effect as I doubt I'll be watching too much stuff under 1080, but you never know I suppose! One thing you should check and that is whether you have the latest firmware v3.10 with the tone mapping update.

I do indeed. The lamp defaulted to low out of the box as well, just out of interest (I think someone said it used to default to high?). Edited April 23, 2020 by Hansel

My lamp defaulted to High for HDR material, can't recall what it did for SDR.

HDR works well with 30FL unto you if want more. its so easy to measure luminance. Fc reading off the meter, multiply by your screen gain to get FL Ok, I'm waiting to get this new HDMI cable installed, then I'll be adjusting this stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong: For SDR: Leave lamp on low, set the aperture to manual, have the projector run a pure white image, stand it front of it with the light meter and record the reading. Multiply that by my screen gain (1.3) to get the FL reading. If it's between 12-16fl I'm done, otherwise adjust the aperture up/down until it's in that range. When done, set the Aperture to Auto 2? For HDR: Same deal but lamp on high and aiming for 30FL

Hansel Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Comsol cable ghetto hooked up and working great, everything passed in the ATV Got my guy coming out tomorrow morning to run it through the wall then I should be good to go! 2
Hansel Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Also did the light measurements, ended up with -10 for SDR and -4 for HDR not that that means much I suppose. Quick question, is Cinema meant to be set to Wide in the HDR section? Also should I also calibrate the HLG setting as it seems it’s set to auto switch to that when it detects HLG. I guess so hey

Wide gives you WCG - wide colour gamut side of und. if you don't have enough lamp output, ie struggling to get 22-30fL then don't select. 1

I guess so hey HLG is for when Aus tv one day decides to send hdr with its mpeg4 signals Hansel . So unless you have access to a NHK signal from Japan with a wideband satellite receiver in the backyard [no ] forget about it .. Its amazing how much equipment is ready for HLG in this country ; even projectors its very frustrating 1

With DTM I always use low lamp because the projector sits overhead and I think high lamp is too noisy for me. He set DTM to Auto rather than high which is what I had it on before. With DTM I use the filter on all HDR content. 3
betty boop Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Quite a visual treat on the JVCs.... 1917 on 4k uhd blu-ray, not sure others seen this one yet, but well worth doing 2
Hansel Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Nice, it’s on my list! EDIT: Nope, never mind, it was just Kodi being weird with the video calibration. Edited April 25, 2020 by Hansel
Hansel Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Well, Gemini Man may be a questionable movie, and I’m pretty sure I’m not a fan of the increased frame rate, but damn that’s a great looking 4K movie. Edited April 25, 2020 by Hansel 1
betty boop Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 guys these jvcs aren't just all about 4k, if wanting to see a sensational looking blu-ray check out little women.... naturally shot, film based - amazingly with a 4k DI (digital intermediate - how processed) so plenty of detail and looks stunning, very natural looking - rich luscious gorgeous. great showcase of what blu-ray can do on these projectors ... couple of screen shots form the movie.... 1
Hansel Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Alright, I’m all cabled up and ready to relax and enjoy. Very happy with it so far, looks amazing And if anyone needs a good cabler and or A/V guy in Melbourne I’m happy to pass on my guy, he’s great (wired my whole house). 2

Hansel Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I'm sure this is discussed somewhere, but as you need to hit standby twice (second time to confirm), is there an easy way to handle that with a harmony, or is it just a case of having it try twice. Can you disable that second confirmation? Also, I have the timer on the projector set to 2 hours. My previous Epson was smart enough to only turn off if the projector was idle for that whole time, but the JVC just seems to plow ahead regardless and keeps threatening to turn off in the middle of me using it
