I do like an image with high native on/off contrast. That’s why I run a JVC RS20 and Stewart Firehawk screen in my theater and that room is completely light controlled and painted dark. I am however finding that I prefer ANSI contrast over on/off and will sacrifice some on/off for ANSI when I buy my next projector. I will most likely go with a DLP projector as soon as LED shakes out for projectors. That’s why I’m still running the RS20 and have resisted the urge to move from it to a newer machine.

But, for this particular room, critical viewing is not a concern. Like I said, I had no intention of ever having a display in this room. I am caving in for a couple of my more vocal friends with an addiction to sports (I do not watch sports, I participate). I don’t want to buy junk though either. I am an A/V geek after all.

Thanks John. You come through again.
