rickydenim Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 I've had the Darbee for a LONG time, going back to DTV forum days where I got it in a group buy. Looks like it suddenly just died! No power coming to the unit. I tested it with another power supply and still nothing. Not sure there is anything I can from here is there? Can you even buy these anymore? A quick google didn't bring up any retailers here. Will miss this thing on my VT65 & gaming etc.
Guest Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Same thing happened to me, picture started coming and going and it looked like the power supply, tried a different power supply but no joy so went to the tip

cwt Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) This looks good for future development considering the FPGA architecture as used by Lumagen ; as well as maybe a cheaper dynamic HDR solution in the future as they mention nits Its been long promised -a 4k version.. will the lumagens with darbee get a new firmware if compatible? Quote The industry has been relentlessly increasing image quality factors like pixel resolution, color depth, dynamic backlighting, and nits, which are all welcome. Edited February 28, 2021 by cwt
rickydenim Posted February 28, 2021 Author Posted February 28, 2021 Thanks! Wow, definitely getting up there $$ wise. Might try to find a 2nd hand of the original as only need it for my 1080p plasma. I have an Epson 8300 projector but not sure if this would provide much improvement on it? Unless it does have some options for dynamic HDR/tone mapping which could be interesting! 1
