No prob! I just got the call, my 73" will be at my home in about 15 minutes

I am wondering if I go with the 60' if it will fit in the back of my Traverse

 

[gadgtfreek]

Hehe. I can't wait to see how big my box is when I get home

 

[dfergie]

I loaded the 65" with the help of the sales lady, it was on top of another and I thought it would be a piece of cake to put in the house by myself... wrong

 

[gadgtfreek]

Hahaha. Not heavy, but you need to be Reed Richards to get your arms around it.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Well, I get home and its a damn 738, not a 838. Ugh...
738 has grayscale and cms adjustment, which is what I cared about, as well as gamma, so I called amazon and decided to keep it. No real big difference between the two, except the soundbar. After about 10 mins, they gave me the $310 price difference.

 

[dfergie]

That sucks not getting the 838, but the $318 can go to something else!

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, no big deal

 

[satjay]

Congrats....still thinking about the 638 myself

 

[gadgtfreek]

Ill put up some pics soon. My geometry is good outta the box, did the h and v positioning, and removed all geometry correction for 1:1 pixel mapping.

I haven't seen a DLP or any RPTV on a showroom floor in probably a year or more. All the same, when my 61" JVC LCoS RPTV bites the dust, I'll probably be looking at DLP - so long as there's no color wheel. I'm spoiled, size wise. I'm gonna havta find out where elwaylite lives, and pay his TV a visit when he's not around.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Size is what drove me. Just looking at this thing sitting on the floor, holy moly.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Here are some before and after shots, you can see where more image is shows after the null, and it looks A-OK to me outta the box. Ill get a resolution test pattern up there in couple of days.

Watch it, don't play with it...

 

[gadgtfreek]

Hehe. Gonna put the meter on it and adjust grayscale Thu night, at least get it closer until Gregg can get down here.

If you thought the 73 box was big, you should of seen the 82 incher.

 

[gadgtfreek]

If it's like normal, after a few weeks the 73" will look small haha.

 

[dfergie]

or the 92"

 

[navychop]

Hmmm. Do I sense movement toward FPTVs?

Only way to go if you can swing it.
