Manufacturer reps and / or engineers from Sony, JVC, Epson, MadVR and Valerion will also be attending!
SAVE THE DATE! Saturday and Sunday APRIL 5th and 6th in Colorado Springs CO! Special Limited Availability Reception / Home Theater Party Friday Night April 4th!
Location for the shootout is the ballroom of the Drury Inn off Interquest and I-25, one hour south of DIA and one half hour north of Colorado Springs Airport. Special room rates available for out of town guests! Please inquire for more details!
The event will run from 1 pm until 6 pm each day. Current plan is to do the same program both days, but if you have the time and inclination, you can attend Saturday and Sunday as there are always variations due to audience participation and modifications to the presentation.
Projectors scheduled to be tested:
Sony Bravia9 XW8100ES (MSRP $31,999)
JVC DLA-RS4200 (aka the DLA-NZ900) (MSRP $25,999)
JVC DLA-RS1200 (aka the DLA-NZ500) (MSRP $5999)
Epson QL7000 (MSRP $29,999)
Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 (MSRP $2999)
We will also be doing a comparative session on MadVR and Lumagen processors, demonstrating exactly what an external video processor can add to the home theater experience!
All products will be showcased side by side on dual 140" 16:9 Stewart StudioTek100 (aka the Snowmatte100) Reference Screens, graciously supplied by Stewart FilmScreen!
Tthe Epson QL7000 is one of the new high brightness projectors from Epson, with a maximum output of 10000 lumens (!). Epson will be showing this projector on an enormous 180" Stewart Phantom HALR screen. This new projector could be a game changer for the industry, allowing for extremely large screen sizes and high usability in rooms with lots of ambient light! As this projector is over 3X brighter than most of the other models, we may be showcasing this unit separately.
TSR will also be throwing a reception and home theater party Friday night, 6-9 pm April 4th at John’s house, where you can meet our guests and experience a 9.6.6 Immersive Audio Trinnov / JVC / Stewart / Kaleidescape / Revel Be / JBL Synthesis reference theater during the festivities! Food will be provided, and our good friend Alex the Bartender will be making a repeat appearance! THERE IS LIMITED SEATING FOR THE RECEPTION, with special room reserved for out of town guests. Please RSVP ASAP if interested in attending! NOTE - there is a small "cover charge" as we are providing food and drink.
(NOTE - models to be compared may change between now and the event - you might want to sign up for our newsletter to stay informed on any last minute changes to lineup or guests!)
This isn't one of those "Oooh, look!" marketing and sales events; it'll be informative and educational. While the event is a shootout and we will evaluate performance, the goal isn't to "pick a 'hands-down' winner." The goal is to take our time, put these machines through their paces, and learn some things. We'll look at how they handle various content in HDR and SDR, look at the differences, and talk about what the machines are doing - and how they're doing it. Kris Deering and Sammie Prescott Jr. will walk us through various types of content and talk us through what's happening on-screen. We'll even have representatives from the manufacturers there to talk about their products and answer your questions.
