Guess its the missing color corection on the green tube helping on the light output.
I did 18fl with a balanced grayscale on my 8500, and lost a bit when masking the tube for 16:9 and gained a lot of ansi contrast. |
It don't have the color correction board in the back I checked but will it be needed when I change it to 9inch tubes?
If yes then I will get it when I get the tubes
The lumens rating is 1200 due to the hvps
I am currently putting the set back together as I had to remove the blue tube and put new glycol in it as it had leaked out when the set was ceiling mounted and none of the boards were damaged
I can't wait to enjoy this machine
Also where the green tube has uneven wear it doesn't look like its going to affect the picture but I will have to get it set up to see |
Im sure you can find different opinion about the color corection board, but its out of mine.
Im sure you can make a very nice image as is with 8" tubes, i was surprised with min coming from a 9"
I did 1080P75 Hz on mine, and had to get used to looking the 9" Again.. looked dark when changing back.

I am going to see if curt has the board so I can see if it makes a difference
I have a nec 10pg and there is a difference between ac optics and lc optics in the overall picture
So far my machines are electrohome Ecp 4101(no Acon)(current machine) nec10pg(not sure if I am keeping) and the vidikron vision 3(marquee 8110+)soon to be my main set

The 8110 is the base model, none shipped with Ultra features

Its curently my main set right now and I love how sharp the picture is
The only way I could possiblely improve it is upgrade it to be a 9500LC(already in the works on getting the parts)
The only add on I am wanting right now is a moome card(waiting for a bit on that)
I really don't mind it not being a ultra
Another plus it works great with my 120inch diagonal screen 
I am curious what did the contrast modulation card do and should I get one?
For it being a 8inch set it performs pretty darn great almost as great as my nec 10pg(which I haven't got to use due to a problematic gain board)

You might as well go for the best and get a G90.

Don't let Craig hear you say that!  They are all about equal. Sony just drives them harder than the others.
I hear ya. I have two and may have none after I get back from Cedia.

I may have to do something with my nec since I don't have the soldering skills to repair it plus I am going to put 9inch tubes in my vision 3 soon to make it a vision 1
Now I need a moome card as my hdmi box is almost ready to quit on me

You could probably pick up a G90 for cheaper than trying to put together a 9" retrofit.

True but my chances of that and it having good tubes may be slim plus curt has a huge stockpile of 9inch marquee tubes

If he really wants the best then a modded 9500LC is the ticket;-) All depends how much time/money one wants to allocate to "chasing the perfect picture"
