The Starlight 3 is a little on the heavier side tipping the scales at just under 30 pounds, which isn't too much of an issue when you consider the vast majority will be installed by a custom installer.īeyond the cosmetic changes, DreamVision takes each Starlight 3 and hand calibrates it at the factory, maximizing the power supply and internal circuitry before specifically adjusting gamma, using its six axis color management system for each of the projector's colors as well as adjusting its hue, saturation and luminance settings.įrom there the Starlight 3 is sold exclusively through a dedicated dealer network that can provide the increased level of service DreamVision demands in order to bring the consumer the best possible home theater experience.
#Starlight projector skin
In its new skin the Starlight 3 measures 15 inches wide by nearly 20 inches deep and eight inches high, which is large but not unruly as is the case with some other high-end, high style projectors I've seen. The casework is more than just a simple facelift, helping to cut fan/machine noise considerably over the original JVC design, which I'll talk about later. The outer shell or shape of the Starlight 3 is the work of French designer Antoine Beon who has also done design work for Focal's Electra line of loudspeakers. Physically, the differences are immediately noticeable for the Starlight 3 looks nothing like a JVC projector other than its lens and input placement.
#Starlight projector series
Start with the projector, which begins its life as an OEM JVC D-ILA (JVC's RS35U to be exact) that DreamVision then takes to their factory for a series of tweaks. Speaking of customization, it's a large part of what DreamVision is all about for everything about their product, distribution and support is geared towards giving the consumer a customized experience. For those of you looking for something more subdued, DreamVision also offers the Starlight 3 in white, black and red, with custom colors available at an extra cost. My particular review sample was finished in DreamVision's own faux Carbon Fiber finish, which is crazy-sexy-cool if you're into the look, which I am.
A few weeks later the Starlight 3 arrived at my doorstep.
#Starlight projector plus
The image quality was stunning, so good in fact that I immediately requested a review from Audio Plus Services' Peter Hoagland.
The room itself wasn't crowded, there wasn't even a representative (when I stopped by) on hand to speak to, leaving the Starlight 3 to do all the talking. Tucked inside a small covered booth was the DreamVison Starlight 3 showing Iron Man on Blu-ray. Audio Plus Services is hardly an unknown distributor, representing lines such as Focal, Cambridge Audio and Pathos, but it was their intimate display for DreamVision that caught my eye. At CEDIA 2010 I had such an encounter at the Audio Plus Services booth - with the front projection company DreamVision. One of the best things about going to tradeshows is that there is always a chance you'll discover a manufacturer or product you wouldn't otherwise have noticed.
