Great video David, thx. Question: sadly I dont have a jvc projector, however I could get a great out of the box deal on a sony xw-5000es. A luxury problem as it’s also great in certain aspects. Should the HDR tv settings always be put to projector, no matter what projector you are using? Thx again!
You still need to use projector preset for the HDR Optimizer regardless of the projector. Thank you for watching and do ask any questions if you have any. Just tag me. Please watch my other crappy video for shi+ and giggles. 😅
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Haha, will do👍 Thx for your reply, much appreciated
Nice product and review
keren...

Nice but $6k is too much. I'd rather get the Apple Vision Pro.
@@mrpmj00 completely different products for two completely different applications.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Yes but the reality is noone in my family of four (kids are in college) wants to see the same thing so it's just me and the 150in screen with the Epson 2250 (1080P projector) so the next time that I upgrade and if I spend $3k then I'd rather get the Apple Vision pro... but I'm not getting the 7.4.4 sound with the Vision Pro as my theater.
As usual excellent review. Thanks for providing an honest review. Very tempted to buy one 😊.
@@user-to6ku6ff7m thank you for watching and subscribing
Nice to see that McIntosh recognizes people want lighter and that Class D sounds just as great. But the THD is .025% which is pretty good but not as good as my 2 channels Class D NAD C298 amplifier at .005% (or even my older amp Parasound 2125v2 at .0125% typical listening). ---- source=Apple Music lossless
The most importantly is the sound quality. SINAD and THD numbers mean nothing if you don’t like the sound. I had the NAD lent to me by my a client of mine. I never ended pasting the review because I didn’t like the way it sounded.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Yep, ultimately it's my ears that tell me to keep it or return it.
@mrpmj00 exactly. SINAD and THD of tube amps are also “garbage” in writing but people like them. Alternatively, Benchmark AHB2 power amp measures incredibly well but for my ears sounding far too sterile and soulless
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I auditioned a Nagra tube amp but I thought it was too dark/warm. Different strokes for different folks. I much prefer solid state amps' highs. I also don't want any amp/component over 40 lbs, preferly <25 lbs
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I also don't want any amp/component over 40 lbs, preferably <25 lbs
Hi David - I posted a comment elsewhere, you replied to it, and I went in to thank you and edit my post - and accidentally deleted the entire thing. Sorry! I ended up calling pixelgen and will be replacing my 10meter active ruipro cable with a Pixelgen between the projector and Marantz. While I was on the pixelgen site I saw the pxlview processor - currently on back order. I’m looking to improve the picture from my Sony vpl5000es and my budget is limited now, so madvr - reconditioned or otherwise - is sadly out of the question. Do you think that adding the pxlview would be of benefit for picture improvement? If I had it to do over I’d get the jvc z7 I believe - my projector prior to the Sony was the jvc rs4800 ….
Do you mean PixelVision? If that’s what you mean, yes it will give the illusion of much sharper picture. I have seem the prototype in action and I was very impressed by it. Dunno know when it will be released though.
Thanks - and yes that’s the product I was intending to refer to.
@Dingo-de7yu I have pre-ordered one. I hope it will be launched soon.
dear friend its that possible put external subtitles in this player ? for example portuguese, many cd blurays is not subtiles in my language.
@@tiagorocha8659 it’s not possible unless you use a hacked firmware or if you buy the UB9000 player from China.

I just got this same unit. I have it working and started pushing buttons. Now my pre set audio buttons at the bottom of my remote are not working. I know it has something to do with me pushing buttons but I have no idea what that was. I’m willing to do a factory reset but I don’t know how to get to that either. If you have any ideas I would certainly appreciate it.
Not exactly the same model but try this video. It may help. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6yJlbitpMeehJM.htmlsi=QayuR-yFSNTj7HxS
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted thank you. I’ll take a look.
@hashtagjustadad5110 hopefully it helps. It’s not my video though.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted thanks again for the help. I looked at the video and then found the button on the remote that took me to the main menu. That led me to the factory reset and all is well with the world again. Thanks.
@hashtagjustadad5110 great to hear that. Congratulations!!
Sonos Android app (80.04.05-release+20240702.edb3233) I got "error 1000" setting up a brand new sub mini, the app crashes after the set up and then can't update the sub, what's going on with Sonos?
This app has ruined my home! Sonos in every room and it’s finished! I’ve tried everything.. I’m over it
Finally the new Sonos app is now stable. Have you tried it yet?
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted since when? Managed to get a missing speaker back on today, but its still laggy, and the boost is nowhere to be found in the app
@DRJUDE boost should no longer be part of your system for the past 2 years. And as for my system, it’s been trouble free for the past 2-3 weeks and I use 13 Sonos speakers around the house with zero problem. I use iPhone 13 Pro Max with the latest iOS and latest Sonos app.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted wow, thats amazing. I have just realised that my boost has been plugged in for years, but has actually been doing nothing. My main issue was my play 1 in my office disappeared and i tried everything to get it back but couldnt. I have today, but Im worried it will disappear again. The other issue is the speakers not showing up in other apps like spotify! Have you managed to fix this?
@DRJUDE i use Tidal and Sonos own radio channels, they work fine thus far. I dont know about Spotify.
I saw a feature called CineMaster! What does exactly this feature do?
@@trendyprojectors4743 I personally don’t use it. It’s a video processing includes options for color enhancement, flesh tones, detail enhancement, and frame interpolation. I just calibrate the projector and leave it turned off.
HDBT ?
No. Never use HDBT as it lossyly compresses the signal in 2:1 ratio
Nice test, could you tell us compared with the Sub Gen3 Sonos, what would be the différence, like can you even compare ? (Sub Gen3 can reach 23hz and be loud for its size)
@@arn287 test can be and have been done using frequency sweep, the Sonos is much cleaner but the SVS runs deeper. Not much of a difference using real-life listening in terms of deepness. I still prefer to use the Sonos gen 3.
Thank you for your response I wish I could hear other subwoofers like svs, perlisen… But I’m really amazed by the sub Gen3 It gives the sound thickness and tactile feel Thank you for your fun audio content
And I went for 2 sub gen3 for more greatness
Thank you for watching. :)

As a Canadian I believe my entry cost last year would be 14k or more. Now it’s 6k, I paid 5 for my Anthem MRX-1140. I’m in for sure.
@@mikewright9547 that is correct. It was $14K for the most entry level. Now it’s $6K. I wish there is an affiliated link. Between the release of the news to this moment I have “sold” 7 Strato V. Too bad I’m not a dealer.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted exactly you would be doing well with sales. It really is an entry point now they will see some movement for sure.
I also have the Benq ht3560, and when the projector is on and off, I hear a high frequency noise, like a whine. Is this normal, or is my unit defective
@@equationzz3445 does the whine stops after a while or or always there all the time? If it eventually stops then it’s most probably normal. If it is all the time then there is something wrong with the projector. Most probably the colour wheel. My suggestion is to bring it in for check up to BenQ just in case.
2 years later this is still a "Beta" feature while most crappy Fire TV sticks can do this automatically and reliable. I also can't use this with all streming services because some interrupt playback after triggering the function and exit to the menu or show hdmi/connection issue (probably due to HDCP) - in both cases the framerate will be resettet to the default setting.
Why do you keep getting HDMI issue? That’s usually cable issue, not media player issue.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted My HDMI cables works fine. The issue is triggered by the refresh rate adjustment. My theory: This feature can cause a new hdmi-handshake since most TVs won't handle a refresh rate change "on the fly" during playback. This handshake is detected by the streaming service and force the playback to stop - perhaps due to HDCP restrictions. Some services sends you back to the menu page and other apps like Amazon Prime consider this behaviour as a "connection error" and prompts a message. If your setup is affected you can reproduce these issues every time and lot's of people are affected or they don' realize the feature isn't working since they might just press play after they ended up in the menu and think they have the right refreh rate enabled. This feature only works if the playback continues after refresh rate change. If that's not the case you just get back to the refresh rate that is choosen in the settings (usually 59,xx/60fps).
Does the razer app eq save the profile and be used with pc
As long as you don’t load the headphones with a new profile, whatever EQ profile you loaded to your headphone will remain in the headphones.
@DavidSusiloUnscripted I don't have any eq, they sound lower than using them with wired specifically in games. They get really quiet when doing nothing, but when a lot of things happen they get too loud and that's specificity on the 2.4.
thanks for reviewing the Air4 Pro!

Hi David - great review - thank you! I’m looking upgrade my blu ray player from the Panasonic ub820 to either the 9000 or the Magnetar 800. I use a Sony VPLXW5000ES laser projector and watch blu ray discs almost exclusively- no sacd or other audio formats. I’m only looking for the best movie experience I can get. Which player would you recommend? Thanks again!
The Pana 9000 is all you need.
Thanks!

Does it make any difference on image quality between fibbr optical hdmi and those cheap copper hdmi cables with the same specs hdmi 2.1 ultra speed? I want one to connect my pc with rtx4090 and gaming monitor at 4k 240hz with distance within 2-3m. Thanks
If you already have the regular cable, test it out first. 2-3m HDMI as long as they are of good brand they tend to work fine without using fibre optic.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted I got the cheap one UGREEN hdmi 2.1 48Gbps from Amazon. I wonder if there are any differences if I get a more expensive cable like fibbr or THX as you suggested. I heard there would be no difference on image quality as they are all digital signals, only work or not work.
@WilianaWong there are more nuances than just work or not, but in 90% of the cases, it will work or not. If you don’t see sparkling, handshake issues, blank screen , green or magenta flashes, then you are fine. One thing to remember, cables will NOT make things look better. Cables just to ensure you get the picture quality you are supposed to get. Hope it helps
I buy the bluebird multipack at the reject shop. The nz burger rings have more flavour compared to the smiths BR.
Hey David, you going to review the Sony Bar 9? Would love your take on it as I was disappointed with the HT-A5000 and 7000.
Sony doesn’t love me. It’s impossible for me to get product samples from them. So unless they send it to me, I’m not going to review it.
So true prime looks terrible now on my new bravia 9 85" tv . I was just searching to see how to disable it because you can't adjust to change any of the settings. It makes me mad after I've calibrated my tv and all of my other picture modes look alsome .
@@hemieed1 hmmm. I haven’t played with it enough as all my calibration clients don’t use streaming but if it is truly can’t be turned off, that is a very bad thing indeed.
@DavidSusiloUnscripted hi after some good searching, I finally found how to turn it off in the picture settings. Now it has my hdr calibration settings. And now you can adjust them instead of them being grayed out and locked. Thanks for the video talking about it. I Hadden paid any attention to untill this morning when I was watching the boys. And this is my 5th day with my bravia 9.
If you get anything wider than 55 for gaming your doing it wrong
Waste of space, food, water, air and money is making annoying noises.
@@CarlaBelejo-su4ft thank you for describing yourself to me :D
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted Actually I was describing the dog.
Thanks ! Is there a 4k upscaling setting in the Display section ?
No. The 4K upscaling automatically works when the signal received is less than 4K
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted thanks, it is nice, it means that like 4k TVs, the GP500 is smoothing the edges of your 720p/1080p image from your game console or your streaming app to look good ! I don't know if it is a base feature nowadays
@Nico-cg2sw upscaling have been done since the days of 1080p. However, they are not created equal. Some displays are doing it better than another. For upscaling, in general Sony has the best one, followed by Panasonic, then LG then Samsung.
@@DavidSusiloUnscripted so you found it good on this projector ?
Before entering to options You can press "pause" when subtitles are visible and You can see changes when adjusting settings.

I own a BenQ LK970 and am looking to upgrade it to something even better. I have owned it now for 4 years and have been impressed with it colors and Lumens. Would you say that the BenQ W5800 is better and a great improvement over the BenQ LK970 or do you even know?
The W5800 is the best projector BenQ ever had for consumer projectors. It is truly the pinnacle of their entire offerings.
Love your reviews 🎉
Thank you for watching !! 🎉
Nice review looks cool to have
I love it
I bought this projector but can't make my mind up weather to open it or send it back. Thank you for a simple honest review. Almost every other review acts like this is the greatest projector so it's good to see what someone thinks who knows projectors.

Thanks for the review! I'm debating between this and the Samsung Freestyle Projector 2 which will be used in the bedroom for evenings. Can I ask which one you find to be better from a user perspective + loaded apps out of the box? Thanks! H
Go with LG. The Samsung Freestyle is somewhat known to be buggy.
