Morning all, what would be the recommended setting for Aspect in the Installation menu? 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?).

OK, that's good you have the current firmware. My lamp defaulted to High for HDR material, can't recall what it did for SDR.

when we updated firmware, it factory reset lamp and such and mine was on high after the update. I had to change back.

it left SDR alone, as only HDR had new menu pages and had to factory reset for those :)

yes that's where meter comes in... read back on this thread, if need be probably most simple adjustment could do to benefit of picture. if iris is wide open and on high lamp out of box and getting way over luminance need. then and drop lamp down to low. see then if can crank iris down as well for SDR to get 12-16fl. 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

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 ?

that's good, shows have some left up sleeve as lamp ages...

 

when cinema must mean cinema filter... 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.

Ok cool, didn’t seem to be a problem hitting 30 so I’ve left it on

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 :$

Ok thanks mate. I’m not at all shocked we’re behind the curve, but to be honest I very very rarely watch FTA to that’s ok I guess ??

FYI

 

my calibrator checked Convergence which was good, he corrected a few zones on the left of my screen for red


Changed input level to be super white

 

Prefers to use the DI at Auto 2

 

Was happy to calibrate in low lamp, he said he uses low lamp at home. 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.

Quite a visual treat on the JVCs.... 1917 on 4k uhd blu-ray, not sure others seen this one yet, but well worth doing :) 0I9A8626.jpeg

Nice, it’s on my list!

 

EDIT: Nope, never mind, it was just Kodi being weird with the video calibration.

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.

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 ...

post away.... it only helps folk looking for someone similar and likely supports someone out there in the process. if theyre good they're worth knowing about  :)

Sweet, his name is Matthew Burfitt with UBQS Solutions, 0412 033 920. I originally found him through this blog with photos of his work etc. Great bloke.

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 :D
