Fred asked a while back, why Evan's review showed 566 lumens, and mine measured only 402.
I think that's an easy one. In the past, I think everyone used Cinema 1 on the Panny as it's "best, no compromise" mode for calibration. We measured that 402, compared to a similar 385 lumens by Evan. Without any calibration, the Cinema 3 mode we measured at only 422 lumens compared to his 566, but we found it's color temp was jut over 8000K, so it would need a huge amount of grayscale adjustment to get down to 6500K. Perhaps, when he got done, he had his 6500K, but perhaps less black level performance, etc. More strange is that we only found about 20 lumens difference (pre-calibration) between the three Cinema modes, whereas he found almost 200 lumens. They may well have calibrated it into an "almost as good as" Cinema 1, but with more lumens. That's the nice thing about multiple presets, many of my readers find they use intermediate modes to get more lumens, with little cost in overall picture.
I liked Evan's side by side of the Sony vs Panny. We just got our Sony in, and I still have the PT-AE3000U, so will also be viewing both side by side, post calibration, starting this weekend. Should be interesting -art
