Tossing up between this and the Pana.

Does the Australian Epson TW9000 have the THX modes?

Unfortunately mate "interest" does not determine price, consider that many here as is their right are waiting to see if the price is competitive with other GB's, others are just waiting on price and then as per most GB's there are the procrastinators.......

I am excited by the number of EOI's but have been round long enough to know the difference between potential and reality, that said I do thank all for their interest thus far and look forward to having a price on the table early next week.........

My hat comes of to Yorac and others who selflessly organise and co-ordinate these GB.

I had a quick look yesterday at the 6000w and was blown by how good the wireless function in full hd 3d works. Also in 2d I have to say it looked more impressive in 2d than the JVC x3 I saw. The black sky looks impressive in the stellar array scenes. The brightness was what impressed me the most especially when I consider I view my current PJ in a family room setting.(Note when I got the the PJ was in dynamic mode and got the store guy to select another preset and that is when I noticed contrast improvement)
Sharpness was like a razor. Also had a look at the Billy Joel concert in the baseball stadium in 2d and it just blew me away.

If the 6000 looks this good just wondering what a treat most people will be in with the 9000. The 3d cfi didn't seem to be an issue in the material I viewed. I suppose next years 9000 replacement will probably have the 3d features the 7000 Pana does. Hmm maybe ?

Hi guys am putting together an EOI on the Epson TW 9000, at this time just looking to see if there is enough interest to proceed with a GB, please post your interest and any questions here.......

no pricing will be given until I have at least 5 on board and as per usual all Australian stock and warranty.............

Hi guys
I have not been on this forum for ages but I am very interested in these 2 models
There seems to be good and not so good with both
I would very much appreciate the comparison/review from you guys if thats possible
I am very keen on grabbing one of these models before Christmas depending on the price!

Excuse my limited knowledge but does this projector do lens memory zoom thing like the new Panasonic? is this what this means?

" Two Anamorphic Lens Modes (Stretch and Squeeze) - Enables 2.35:1 anamorphic viewing without an external processor"

[jorn]

Hi Yorac,

I only just signed up and not able to pm you.

I am interested in this, i was actually contemplating buying the 6000 but if the price is right I would be dead keen.

do you guys think there will be significant improvements in the 9000 over 6000?

[mark verity]

Which ever is decided on with the GB Im in!
I am undecided still on which one I prefer it was the tw9000w then read the reviews on the Pana AE7000.
Has any one seen where the stats are on projector distance placement For these 2 projectors vers screen size.
I think it was a minimum of 4.2mts to lense from screen for a 120 inch screen for the AE7000 or was that the TW9000W?

Are you speaking 120" 16:9 or scope?

They both appear to  be about 3.6metres for 16:9 120" and 3.8 metres for 120" scope

No these modes will vertically or horizontally stretch the image for use with an external anamorphic lens.

Lens memory will zoom and focus for you for a scope image - the black bars will still be there but projecting onto the wall outside of a scope screen.  The epson does not have this as the lens zoom/focus are not motorized.

Ok
I will be happy with that!
So it's the TW9000W.
Re: the projector placement from memory I thought it was 120inch 16:9 at minimum 4.2mtrs but not sure which unit that was.
That's ok 3.6 or 3.8 for scope. I have 4.5 to my back wall
enough for access and cooling even though the venting is out the front isn't it.

Thanks for the info, it would have been great if this Epson had that feature.  I think I might just go the Panasonic after all.

Hmm i thought that because of the inbuilt modes you wouldn't need to slide the lens out of the way and hence not have to refocus when watching 16:9 material?

I dont know if that is true,
after reading this link: http://ht3d.blogspot...-eh-tw9000.html

I bel it can do 2.35:1 anamorphic viewing without an external processor, and has memory function to save different Aspect Modes???

If you're relying on

Two anamorphic lens modes (stretch and squeeze) — enables 2.35:1 anamorphic viewing without an external processor1

, all that means is that it supports the use of an anamorphic lens - it does not mean it has lens/zoom memory.

It has manual zoom and focus so I don't see how it could have a memory function.

Aspect modes such as vertical stretch or horizontal squeeze have nothing to do with lens memory - these are for use with an external a-lens.

Lens memory involves motorized zoom and focus to zoom in to fill a scope screen or zoom out to fill 16:9.  The "memory" is saving those physical lens settings to fill a scope screen.  As the epson does NOT have a motorized lens how can it have lens memory?
