Screen & Signal field notes from integrator installs and calibrated listening sessions.

Contrast vs stability

JVC infinite native contrast wins starfields; Sony laser holds colorimetry month-over-month without lamp drift.

HDR

Both benefit from Lumagen or madVR tone-mapping when sources vary; calibrate with meter, not eyeball.

Client fit

Black-box vaults favor JVC; mixed-use cinemas with lights-on intermissions favor Sony.
