|
|
I was lucky enough to pick up a Electrohome Marquee 9500LC Ultra for $250 a year or so ago. Got it ceiling mounted, Upgraded from HD10L to 10F lens. Absolutely loving it. Now I am ready to upgrade to HDMI. I contacted moome and all that they have available are the EXT V3 (HDMI 1.4 support) and VIM V2 (internal card)
Questions.
1. Which is better?
2. Does anyone know if/when more VIM V3s will be available. I asked moome but have not heard back from moome on this.
3. Is there a V4 coming down the pipe soon and that is why V3 are not available. Again waiting for a reply from moome.
4. Am I better off waiting for VIM V3 or possibly VIM v4?
5. What about the HDFury? I think I prefer the moome, but do not know enough to be sure.
Thanks so much for your help. I have learned a lot just from the feedback on these forums already.

Use a VIM for sure over any external option.
The version number doesn't matter much if you don't care about a 3D IR output.
Make sure that whatever VIM you have has the newer DA filtration om the analog side so that you get full bandwidth resolution. I think that v2 and v3 both have the new filtration model, but make sure with Moome before you order. If the v2 doesn't have it, I am sure Moome can change it for you before he ships. I do this in the field all the time on client machines.

Craig,
Thanks for the information regarding VIM vs EXT. I will definitely go the VIM route. I have not been able to get to moomecards.com for the last few days from either my work or my house. Seems the site is down 
btw, I purchased my lens from you last October. Arrived extremely well packed and they are working great. Worth every penny.

OK, if nobody told you when you scored your ultra for $250, I'd like to do so now:
YOU SUCK! 
cheers,
Matt

Btw Craig,
When are you going to be in the Twin Cities area? After I get the HDMI, I am looking at getting a professional calibration done.
