see it. All the classic montages are present on this disc (race car, ropes, ships and rotating "clock"

sequences) and they all ran as well as I have seen them, anywhere. Cadence identification and

correction is very fast. The LS-5 did struggle just a bit with a few upconverted clips from a DVD

player (native 480p). 24p film material was silky smooth. The ABT disc has a series of clips

labeled "Bad Edits" which I always run. The Runco handled them as well as I have seen, which

is to say a minor choke here and there, but overall, did an excellent job.

LENS QUALITY AND CONVERGANCE

35mm cameras vary significantly in terms of price. If you chase down the main reason for this

you will likely find it has everything to do with the optics (lens). Quality lenses are expensive

and are often underrated as a decision determinate when considering two, otherwise similar front

projectors. When I saw the retail price of this product, and forgetting for a minute that it bore the

"R" logo, I had a suspicion that someone may have scrimped on the optics - a popular way to

reduce cost-of-goods-sold. A sure tell-tale of a "bargain" optic is something called chromatic

aberration around the outer edge of the lens. All that's needed to observe this is a good, single

pixel grid pattern (like the one built into this projector). More often than not, you will see red,

green or blue peeking out from the white grid lines at the extreme edges of the grid. On the old

CRTs, we would immediately call this malady "misconvergence". On today's fixed pixel devices

it is either caused by mis-aligned panel in the light engine or, more likely, an imperfect lens

grind causing the aforementioned chromatic aberration (O.K., there is more to Chromatic

Aberration than just the grind, but cheap lenses have more of it than expensive ones). Such

trouble was absent in the LS-5, at least in my review sample. Moral of this side trip: Don't winch

at paying a little extra for a quality lens. Double ditto when considering a secondary, anamorphic

lens for 2.35 viewing.

VIEWING IMPRESSIONS

I had the luxury of having this review sample for several weeks. Regular readers know that I host

a weekly event we unimaginatively call "Movie Thursday" with several of my hot rod buddies.

We watch the best of whatever was released the previous Tuesday. Read "best" as most

explosions/minute. And so after removing laptop, tripods, sig. gens and analyzers, we settled in

for the first of 3 or 4 weeks with the LS-5. My guys aren't videophiles, but they are used to my

resident Vidikron 100 3-chip DLP. It's an excellent projector, but predates 1080 resolution. The

first movie we watched was The Hurt Locker on BD which is a very good (video) transfer with

an excellent DTS uncompressed sound track. Right from the first scene you could almost feel the

dirt from the Bagdad city road. We all noticed the improved depth of the overall picture (better

C.R.) and some commented on the sharpness of the image (1080 trumps 720). I could

immediately see the brightness improvement. Although initially I thought it was simply an
