 Mark, I have to say (and with all due respect) I find that statement simply amazing!..
On the PLUGE pattern, I see ALL three bars very clearly, if I turn up the brightness a little over the correct setting..
Even if I increase the brightness setting on the DVD player from 2 to 3, it stills shows BTB..
BTB shows very clearly as BLACK, with no sign of a greenish colour..
When I turn the brightness down until the inner and outer bars disappear, the centre bar can still be seen.. |
Your player does pass PLUGE then. Just a point to note, you should just see the inner bar (JPK DVE) and the outer bar should just blend with the video black background. That iner bar is 2% above black, so if you can not see it, you are missing out on shadow detail...

On the RAMP pattern, I can adjust contrast till I see ALL bars from white to black..I usually set the contrast with the first two bars just merging..

If white is to be set the same as black, then yes, both should match, but I find that see crusing in the whites, so like to set the contrast a tad lower so that there is a difference between the two. Since using the colorimeter, there is a graph with will show if the brightness and contrast is too high. See the curve on the first chart
HERE where my contrast was a tad too high. When set correctly, it follows the reference curve 100%...

It does make me wonder why you can't get the same on your 950!!
The only difference I can see between your unit and mine is that you got yours from the US..and possibly blazer did as well..Whether there's something different in the US units, I don't know..

It does make you wonder sometimes, How these people think...or not..

Possibly because it was zone 1. Back in 2000, when I first got into front projection
I found an article discussing SONY projectors and they were claiming that PAL required the brightness to be set about 48, but with NTSC the brightness could be set as low as 33. It turned out that the PAL players at the time did not pass PLUGE, and as a result, the brightness had to be pushed up. The only patterns I had at that time were NTSC, so my brightness was lower because was visible. I then contacted the SMPTE on the matter. They were suprized that the PAL player were being limited, but explained that difference was OK for still patterns as whist PAL has more lines, NTSC refreshes faster, and allows the use of Tint...
Right now the Benq crushed BTB for HDMI, but displays it for YPbPr, so my brightness on HDMI has to be set at 50, where for YPbPr it is at 44...
