This one has great black levels, high contrast and brightness, and Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and I have tested many brands like Formovie, Casiris, Ultimea, Benq, Samsung, VAVA and more, and so far... this one is the winner!

We jumped in and purchased LTV-3000 Pro & LTV-3500 Pro with the 100" and 120" motorized floor rising screens so we can display & demonstrate AWOL's new Pro series in our 2 A/V Showrooms.

Since it will be only be used in a light controlled room which would you recommend out of the 3?? I really like how bright and punchy the ltv 3000 looks!

      Yes as it’s a completely light controlled room and is acoustically transparent woven screen it’s a great experiment. The gain is reported at 1.0 but I think it’s .8-.9 still quite bright for woven. In an ambient light situation I would definitely go with a alr or clr screen.

      This has been puzzling me that people think you can't project onto an AT screen... I have been reviewing UST projectors for almost 4 years on many different types of screens. You can clearly see in my video where I'm recording, and it's on an AT screen - and the image is flawless. I think possible the confusion lies with people trying to project onto an acoustic screen if there is ambient light. I would imagine that could be a challenge but my room is 100% light controlled. The footage is clearly visible and you can check out my room tour on my channel - which shows I have Krix MX-10 speakers behind it :)

    • @BuildMontage
      @BuildMontage  6 місяців тому +2

      This seems a popular question - I don't think it's a fair comparison, as it's a UST projector vs a long throw projector. The biggest disadvantage for the AWOL is the DLP light source. JVC DILA is pretty much the best in class for contrast all the way up to the pricepoint of an NZ8/9. It's unfair to compare it in that way. This projector has a lot going for it, the colours are spectacular, plus Dolby Vision, tri-colour - when I'm asked to compare projectors, it's always a general question - and comparisions require parameters and specific things to measure against. Price, brightness, contrast, light source, max lumens, colour of the projector, lens, throw ratio, throw distance, tone mapping, colour gammut - there are so many things to compare against. Yes - I have a JVC NP5 and it's black levels are incredible - but it's a different price point and has less brightness and also doesn't do Dolby Vision. So it all comes down to weighing up what you value most and going with that. Hope this long answer helped :)

  • @rydmike
    @rydmike 6 місяців тому

    Nice review, thanks! Sounds like a really good UST projector. Sadly none available yet that has motorized zoom/image-shift with memory presets, so that you can change it to fill top and bottom for 16:9 to cinemascope 21:9 (and other weird formats like 1.85:1 ) on a cinemascope screen, at the touch of a button.
    So far, only normal throw projectors from Epson, Sony and JVC can do this. Unfortunately this limits options a lot for us that prefer an experience where a movie in 21:9 should be a grander experience than a show in 16:9. Also, due to height restrictions in my basement cinema, I could fit a much bigger/wider screen in 21:9 than 16:9, so that certainly contributed to the screen aspect ratio choice. Well anyway, maybe someday an UST can do it, but doubt it. 🤷‍♂️🙂

    • @BuildMontage
      @BuildMontage  6 місяців тому

      Yes the optical elements inside a UST projector do limit somewhat the ability to do lens shift and additional screen aspects due to the short throw nature. The lenses have to be aligned precisely. Maybe one day they will work out a way.

So 2 X 16.9 images and the system cuts them perfectly for a 2:35.1 ratio. So money seems to be the only issue here. But if that's similar price to a nz8 what do you think is the better setup IF you wanted a 2:35.1 screen? I want to how the blacks actually compare to a JVC UNIT.

      Come accennato nel video, la differenza di prezzo è la luminosità aggiuntiva dell'LTV3500 pro, tuttavia in una stanza con luce controllata non credo che sarà un grosso problema.

      I would say if you want a UST, dont hesitate and go for the LTV 3000 Pro - if you want a ceiling mounted projector go for the XGIMI. I am going to sell my LTV 3000 Pro very soon as I decided to stick with ceiling mount. I am actually making one last video with it as we speak which will give a bit more in depth as to why you may want a UST projector.

      No. Field sequential is an old system in which each frame of video contained left and right images. One eye would be be made from odd lines or field one and the other would be made from the even numbered lines, field 2. Quite often, one would buy a box which decoded the fields and synced a signal to 3D shutter glasses. It was a lousy system. One such box saw off an expensive monitor of mine because it sent a signal with too high a frequency!
      Some modern projectors still display it. I have had two Viewsonics which did. My Viewsonic X10 does.

      Benq are known for not having the best black levels in the market, but it's hard for me to quantify without measuring. I sometimes measure in my reviews, but this video I didn't want to use my sensor, I wanted to only use the preset modes. Either way, it's quite good and you wouldnt be disappointed if you have a light controlled room.

Additionally, I want to mention that I've been using this LASER TV for two weeks now. I think its biggest advantages are its color and focus, super sharp and crispy but the BLACK LEVEL is rather average. If the main character is wearing black clothes in a night scene, it tends to blend together, making it a bit uncomfortable to watch. (Maybe I'm just being too picky.)Even though I have Dolby Vision turned on, I hope they can improve this in the next software update.

      The disadvantages as far as I can see with screens that large is 1) cost - it will be a long time before a 120" screen becomes affordable & 2) Cinematic look to your movie - a TV just can't reproduce that cinematic look a projector and reflected light gives you no matter how perfect the black levels can be & 3) How do you get your speakers behind a 120" screen if you want a true to life audio experience?

      Yes this was a fortunate happenstance. 24 frames mimicks what the eye sees. When you wave your hands quickly in front of your eyes, the motion blur is very similar. So whatever the case, 24p has been known as the cinematic frame rate and that is why even in digital times films are still made this way.
