Like you I will enjoy the perks of the job and enjoy demonstrating it to those who are in the enviable position of being able to buy.....

[sammy the squid]

For sale is my beloved left kidney from a smoke, alcohol and child free home! Asking price 17k or will trade for a sony 4k pj

[emporer]

I see Sony are showing this at the Bristol show in a few weeks, I was reading a website earlier (what hifi I think) and it lists the exhibitors etc, it stated that Sony would be showing this with upscaled and native 4k content, what method would be employed to display this native content? really looking forward to seeing this in action only because I could never in a million years actually afford one!

[tomdanscar]

Allan any interest free available on the sony was thinking 15 years with a bit up front

[Geckosteve]

Just seen a "LOTR" Super-trailer 4K on you tube along with various landscape and sea scape films, would be great if I could get them playing through the Sony.....

Can it be done?

[Dav1dF]

You might want to buy something on interest free that won't be out of date before the payments are finished

[sammy the squid]

as speedy as tech gets past its sell by date, hopefully the sony should have a few years of life in it as the upscaling should be a mere starter..the main course and benefit will be seen when the native material appears

i suppose the only thing that can go wrong is that something happens in the industry and that the native material doesnt appear...in which case early adopters are left with one hell of an expensive upscaling tool

you have to see this Sony, its mind blowingly good with everything i`ve chucked at it so far.

it was good down at Sony a couple of weeks ago but that one was only 1500 lumens (only ), this now at 2000 lumens really is quite something.

Be warned though, nothing i`ve seen so far compares to this Sony so you`ll have to get plenty of copper pipework installed as once seen you`ll never want for anything else

I echo what David and Steve have said so far, its the next level for sure

interesting Steve I never thought of 4k youtube video so I`ll give that a whirl later on if I get the time, the super duper LOTR 4K one is just fantastic.

I understand that SONY have been filming 4K for a while now,
sure that it will happen it will just be how long.....................

Totally agree with your statements regarding this awesome projector, spent hours yesterday playing around with it, with so many different clips, that to be honest made me want to watch the entire movies.

Playing between 235:1 and 16:9 was an absolute doddle, and lined up perfectly every time.

Material I used.......

Ratatouille, the scene that you mention, as the Thunder and shotguns absolutely rock.

Gladiator......looked so filmic if there is such a word, surprised to see just how badly poc marked Russell Crowe's face is, 4K is not actor/Actress friendly.

King Kong..........sublime...freeze frame at the end of the movie when Kong is sitting at the top of the Empire Building, just before the planes come in, if you freeze at a close up head shot........then go between ON/OFF with the Reality Creation the difference is staggering.

Dark Knight....beginning and the Hospital explosion scenes are mental.

Slumdog Millionaire.......vibrant colours.

T2.... Very old Bluray but looks better than ever.

Jurassic Park......

Transformer revenge of the fallen.........immense.

And my favourite of the day was Seabiscuit.......textures, gorgeous colours, the final horse race C26 I think......makes you feel as though you are at the Derby.........incredible.

Were the colors absolutely spot on out of the box? I have a hold up in buying this as I understand there is no CMS at all...

[Geckosteve]

Colours all looked pretty spot on to us......

[hifiaudio2]

no measurements yet though? And thanks for your review!

to be honest, it's impressive enough just with upscaled Bluray, and virtually justifies itself on that score. With this PJ, and the future of 4K2K to come, I doubt anyone in their right mind would pay out much more than £5k on a non 4K projector now.

[Geckosteve]

Totally with you on that Dav1dF..........

[Dav1dF]

It's just nice that we're finally getting a huge step in picture performance since the introduction of HD. With players available from next year, it's an exciting time. I'm assuming that film companies will have to make sure that any 4K2K releases aren't skimped on, as with a picture this revealing, any corner cutting will really show up. So hopefully, EVERY 4K release/remaster should look as good as the source. No more laziness...

[sammy the squid]

I think this thread is going to cost me a few bob but if i was to invest in one of these, then its fair to say it would be a big step up from the jvc 750. Now, wheres my piggy bank gone

[Dav1dF]

It's no 'big step' Asif - it's like comparing a top notch, full HD PJ to an old non HD PJ! It's another world mate! Really, this is what real film fans have been waiting for...

[Geckosteve]

Sammy you own it to yourself to get in front of one ASAP..........

With the size i am, i think its best if i stand behind it! *If i do manage to obtain one, i hope the native material lands eventually.*

Do we know whats going on with the cms? Are sony looking to add something via an update?

[Geckosteve]

I wouldn't have thought so.....

[sammy the squid]

Even on an ipad, the footage looked pretty good and that screen is also a good size. The sony has only recieved praise so far so i wonder what negatives, if any are attached to it.

[Geckosteve]

Guessing......"there's no 4K content"...............that's what I can only imagine the comments will be!!!!!!!!!

Its something to look forward to then atleast im just thinking blurays have been on the scene 6 /7 years.. And still going strong, so hopefully the next format should take me upto...when im atleast 40 years old if my eyes start failing after that i wont mind

And Bluray should see us through 4K2K as well - I would assume up until the point where this country has caught up with the Broadband speeds of the rest of the world, then we can be streaming 4K2K. Or maybe even 8K4K - who knows?!
