Dear Folks,
As a huge Movie and Music fan I always lamented one thing...
The greatest equipment was always ridiculously expensive-for example in 1999 the Vidikron Vision One crt projector (based on the Marquee 9500LC) was on sale at Absolute Sounds in London for £60,000...
Now,a projector like the Sony VPL VW520ES comfortably outperforms for 10% of that cost!!
So the high end HAS become affordable-which means people can by using top A.V. receivers and sensibly priced 4K projectors etc..have a Cinema for the price you would have paid for just the projector 16 years ago..Fantastic eh?....
Of course the high end is even higher now in terms of performance and to step the equipment up you can still pay a lot of money BUT the difference is you can get a lot more for your money..
..Of course there is always "cheaper"..i talk not of this,I talk of better quality at every pricepoint..thats the skill of Projectiondreams..no compromise whatever the budget...
How so you ask?...
Its very simple,4K is 4K ..But the larger the screens to be illuminated the brighter the projector needs to be..so the larger rooms need larger screens-and of course these are more expensive..and brighter projectors (also more expensive)...
Its about RETAINING the quality whatever size the room..planning correctly to ensure the screen is bright enough,the projector focused correctly to drag out every last bit of resolution..correct viewing angles and so on....
Its about using ones knowledge to advance the medium and technical "starting points"....
I call therm starting points because ALL technical criteria is there to be,by the skill of the calibrator/installer,improved.
Real skill in Video calibration for example,is knowing what not to change,what that display device does correctly..what it doesnt ..to squeeze that last bit out..this last bit is that extra mile that should be traversed to establish the difference between a decent setup and a great setup..
..Exactly the same with Audio...
One must never under estimate the importance of correct setup..correct setup can ensure that a 50k system well setup outperforms a 100k system poorly setup...
At Projectiondreams,as ISF and THX guys,setup is EVERYTHING for us....the surroundings encapsulate the performance-and should be planned to take account of such...only then can the true synergy between equipment performance and design aesthetic work ...a successful cinema is one in EVERY way.;-)
Of course,this knowledge is essential to ensure that our customers money is well spent -whatever they may choose-very quickly their trust is in us-our passion in ensuring we deliver the results that are then expected,makes sure our customers get the very best for their money ..whatever the budget..
We set the standards that others can only aspire to and to be fair that aspiration can help to make other mediocre companies ultimately reasonably decent..because they copy us..how we work..our process...even down to how we communicate ..some may say its flattering..?- For myself,im a little despondent that original thought is lacking and uniquety wanting until we have done it first...nevertheless I applaud anyone that tries to be better..
For the customer though,thankfully they want the best,they dont want to be an R & D platform for an embyonic (in terms of knowledge) company that over charges (not intentionally im sure..) the customer by selling them the wrong equipment or wrong solution for the given task...
I come from an era when one learnt their trade ..when pedigree was everything..when success depended on integrity and knowledge of ones given profession...so of course i lament the "shisters" out there with their two day courses and assumed knowledge in the same way that Elvis or Sinatra would resent a pub singer actually saying he was as good a singer and indeed a viable alternative when he hadnt proven such...:-)
My whole ethos is that Projectiondreams do the best work possible for the given customers budget and what we display in our showrooms and our body of work takes it always out of the hand of the judges and makes Projectiondreams the clear choice for the discerning..however much they have to spend...
Best Regards,
Vincent Charles Myers M.D.
