Wall Quality PS3 Game (Some images are blurred by camera)

Good to Excellent other than sudden bright scenes over exposed for few seconds.

Note: If you are a gammer and not played 'Uncharted 2', then you have missed something in your life.

End of Wall PQ - Summary

Pros:

1. Can be used for projection if flat wall with matt finish white color
2. I assume you need more lumens projector
3. PQ is excellent (Than expected)

Cons:

1. Some thing make me feel it is wall (May be black border not done)
2. Wall appears during some place in some scenes
3. Feel ligth diffraction on the surface (A thin mist like layer between your eyes and picture)

This is end of wall PQ. (All are subjective as per my experience)
Next will be SCREEN PQ QUALITY.
 
Great Swamy .....Sony has got awesome PQ I must say !! If 30ES was movie like, I can assume what 50ES would be like ....
 
Progress made very fast.

Now my Phase-1 (With existing audio) Non dedicated HT completed.

Screen Picture Quality [HD TV Movies]- Final one & summary

DSCF8141_zps37abc5ed.jpg


Summary


Wall PQ Vs Screen PQ

The summary based on, watched wall PQ for HD-TV,BluRay,PS3 game - each spend 10 to 15 minutes of watching. Today & yesterady spend aroud 6-8 hrs on watching HD-TV on screen.

Entire family said, Now we realised the use of screen and the money spent on that.

In a simple term, If you need a theater experience in home, IMO, It is not possible without a screen.

PQ of Sony-HW50ES-HD TV

1. Watching HD-TV shows - Not recomended (More JPEG artifcates than panny)

2. Watching HD-TV Tamil movies - Good. Slight JPEG artificates. Forgot to compare TV, brain automatically feeling inside a movie theatre.

3. Watching HD-TV English movies - Excellent. Just bring movie theatre inside your home. We just forgot our TV (even it is panny). Just i lay down flat on the floor and watched full movie.It is a great experience by having movie theatre inside home.

Next week end - Sony PQ - Blu Ray & 3D.....

It took 2-1/2 Hrs to complete the installation. My carpenter helped me a lot in the installation, I just guided him on the steps to follow.

We used a transparent pvc pipe filled with water to mark the top levels for alignment. And also, some where i have read that, place the screen higher as possible. (Its gives me excellent cinema hall feel)

Fixed one - I have posted the screen pcitures on page#7 (scroll to 3 & 4th image from bottom)

As i said earlied, I spend more time with screen PQ than wall PQ (No borders),
based on that...(Just comparing HD-TV output difference)

1. Colors - It is reduced compared with wall.(I will say neutralized, where as wall gives extra/aggrevated colors)
2. Light output - Bright sections no change & Dark sections increased in dark.

3. Screen: Very Cleaner Image than the wall PQ.

And the important thing, My brain started feeling a mini movie theater. (This i have not received this in the wall projection) There may be multiple other reasons could be contributed this which i am not able analyze.

Note: I have tested BRIGHT TV/Cinema mode in day time with window & door opened. A slight reduction in contrast, but the PQ is watchable. I watched a 1 hr program. (But watching in night time with all lights off, gives amazing experience)

Summary about Reality Creation - A key feature of this PJ

1. With out reality creation - (Equivalent to neay by HW30ES)

Pictures are not sharp. Something like watching movies in a old technology theatres.

2. With Reality creation ON (Set to 10)

a) Extra ordinary Image quality on Closeup shots and exceeding Cinema hall
b) Mid zoom (More objects in the Frame) - Adding musquito noise. Less than Cinema hall quality
c) Long shot (Too many objects in the Frame) - Brain not intersted on Both this projection & cinema hall. Both are same.

Overall BD watching Experience on this PJ

Close up shots - WOW (Jaw dropping PQ)
Others - Normal with out any distracting issues.

Notes: The posted pictures are say 60% sharpness than what i have seen.
 
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
