I lurk a lot here and can be seen mostly in the classifieds, but I'd like to say hello to all
I am in the process of acquiring a calibrated JVC DLA-HD350 after seeing a demo and picking my jaw up off the floor. I've been doing a lot of reading to get my environment setup as best as possible but have a few questions no doubt the learned here will be quick to answer that I can't seem to find quickly.
What are the best settings for video playback? Normal 16-235 / yCbPr/component (4:4:4) seems to be correct one, but for example do I just set this on the PS3 in for HDMI Range and for Video Output and then assume the AV receiver will pass this through correctly and I can leave the proj on auto? The AVR is the entry level Yamaha RXV375.
The other issue is screen (or lack thereof). I'm painting the feature wall I'll be projecting onto in a matt grey: http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homeba...obsession---matt-emulsion-paint---125l-239373
Then I plan to paint a screen area on top in white/grey, rather than try to get a frame/screen.
Is it worth me trying to make my own black widow mix to sit on top of this for the screen area bearing in mind I have no spray gun to paint with and will just be using basic rollers, or is there another off-the-shelf paint that will give me just as good results with this calibrated projector?
If I do go black widow, what do I mix with the AAA paint? Auto Air Fine Aluminium Base | AutoAir Base Coat
I've seen various suggestions for Dulux paints in old threads (e.g. Ice Storm) that don't seem to exist any more, and I have no frame of reference for how light or dark grey/white to go for my particular setup.
Many thanks to anyone who can help a projector newbie just getting started
