the first reports about the Ruby are coming in from people I know and respect. It appears it's not the majic bullet it was pumped up to be. siginificant brightness uniformity issues on high APL scenes, color shift, large light-output drop over the first 500 hours on the bulb to name a few and of course it has nowhere the near the absolute black pedestal of CRT (most of it's high CR comes in at the upper range). Despite all this it still appears to be a huge leap forward for pixel display tech, has anyone here seen seen it yet?
Sony Ruby, is it really al that?

Well it is a new Sony product so like most new Sony products ( projectors in particular ), we can expect it to have issues/problems.- Bottom

I'm using a "Ruby" since 1 month already and yes the Ruby is "all that".
Mhafner on AVS did compare the Ruby to a Cine9 (one of if not the best 9" CRT on the market) and he was really impressed. And this guys knows how to set-up a CRT projector.
Here's the post:
If you read carefully, you will see there is alot of "comparable" in this review. And not alot of "outperforms" in there. And the Ruby was OOTB, w/o even any calibration.
The Ruby is not perfect, but it's an awesome digital projector for the price. :T It's really a breakthrough product.
And it's better or comparable in alot of aspects then the best 9" CRTs out there. I'm only talking about PQ. And the Ruby is right up there with the best 9" CRTs I have seen.To spend more $$$ on electronics without first addressing room acoustics is fruitless IMO.- Bottom

Greg Rogers does a thorough review of the Ruby in the December issue of Widescreen Review. Anyone seriously buying this Lcos projector should read this review. Rogers covers it all.- Bottom

The fact that ruby still has no black pedestal to speak of is a real deal killer for me as total fade to black is very improtant aspect of movie watching, not to mention all the other problems. sounds like you're very happy with it though, i'm sure it's not a bad picture at all.- Bottom
