We really need to get you up here in mid January. Got a rink right next to my house and I think I can find some skates that will fit you. :devil:
Nice video Robert! :T I love it!
For those of you who haven't seen it:
For those of you who haven't seen it:
I'm pretty certain that it won't be available in time.
From what I've seen, the Elite still looked the best. The VT50 does look good though.
Need better moderation in the chat room Robert. Something to consider for the next one.
I'd do it for you in a heartbeat my friend! :T Unfortunately, I'm usually working during the events. Give me a good lead time next time and I may be able to work something out. :Tmech, I agree, today we're limited to one mod as we needed the other a/v experts who were mods yesterday in the Shootout room.
Next time I'm recruiting professional moderators. Any chance you want the job?

Some of the shots aren't showing up Rizz. :huh: And I seen a few with you in them on VE's Facebook page. :T
Looks like a bad link:I don't know why they aren't showing ?

That's the same photo link for all of the broken images it appears.
I believe I saw the 28th mentioned somewhere.When will the videos be uploaded to youtube?
Disregard this. I just realized these were ANSI contrast values. Peak luminance readings were where they should be.
It is a bit troubling though to see the discrepancy between on/off and ANSI ratios on the Elite. :scratch:

That the Elite's on/off contrast ratio is 5 times that of the VT50. And yet the Elite's ANSI contrast ratio is roughly 60% of the VT50's. I would have thought that these would have been more linear. Just goes to show you though, you cannot rely on one set of values.What discrepancy ^^ are you referring to?
-Robert
I can tell you that the Elite looked best, contrast-wise, via the livestream. And it must have looked best in person as it had no trouble winning both the black level and contrast categories.
The rest of the categories are very difficult, if not impossible, to discern via the webcast.
I haven't heard anything on the OLED front in awhile. Once there is something announced I'm certain Robert will be the first to announce it here. :T
See the new thread here. It will be included but no decision has been made as to whether or not the participants will be allowed to vote on it.Will the Sony 900A be included in the shoot out?
Great work Robert! I can't wait! :T
It gets better every year Robert! :T
