The point is you'd always be able to use more of the phosphor area while at the same time resoving higher resolution sources and getting more contrast with higher white output.

Its one way you might try and get 1080p out of an 8" machine. You'd be able to run different video sources vertically stretched on your pj and have the lenses do the anamorphic squeeze. Seems these were never produced and one can see that if they were how expensive they might be. I've raised the issue a few times on getting near total phosphor usage by anamorpic lenses. Interesting points - can't say I've got the answers.

Power aside, it might justify it's greater initial cost with reduced running costs. So I am wondering if you can gain more than you save? If, for example, you double the brightness, does that quadruple the wear rate? If so, then if you halve the brightness, will that quarter the wear rate? I'm sure this was well documented somewhere 15 years ago, and I doubt if will work quite like that, but my point is that two projectors in themselves are not that expensive - it's the tubes, and a blended twin may make more efficient use of the tubes at it's disposal.

So, if we can get away with less light per unit area, by both using more of the raster area and not illuminating all the picture with each PJ, then wear will be reduced. I don't know, but given all the compromises involved, I expect manufacturers set up their PJs on the safe side of burning themselves to death. Is it linear? Can anyone say if tubes last half a long if they have to generate twice as much light? My guess is not if they are anything like other equipment, wear rate will increase out of proportion with load. More than that, I wonder about the wear mechanim. So if you were to compare like with like (same picture size and brightness) then the twin would wear more slowly than a single, extending the life of the most valuable part of the PJ, while still giving you the benefit of better PQ! Tubes wear - they are consumables, and the harder you use them the faster they wear out. Much of the value of CRTs these days is in the tubes, and relatively little in the chassis. I've been thinking a bit more about twin blended projectors.
The Twins is the sensible thing for me to do - I have to be happy with the picture and that is all I need - I am happy with the 1209s just I started this Madâ„¢ idea and so should try and see it through to completion. (the 1208/2 were my original pair to blend with) I have 2 Selecos left (450+ 159 hrs and a 500+HD 1950 hours) and the pair of Barco 1208/2 which I think I need to pass onto others to enjoy.That will clear a fair space and add some cash in the kitty for this project. I am facing some very tough decisions about this at the mo.
#NVIDIA EDGE BLENDING MODS#
The Mods I have done so far on the 1209s are also not wasted - they will slot straight into the "twins" or be kept in the 1209s. Good news is that either way the Twins are not wasted as they are identical to the 1209 with 8" tubes fitted (ONLY THESE 1208 units are the same NO others are.)
#NVIDIA EDGE BLENDING PC#
That is still possible BUT at that point I would have to hope that PC blending is possible - otherwise the cost for 9" option AND Blendzilla hardware - well I could do it but would rather buy a Porsche. So I need a second 1209s, and then 6 new tubes (heres where it starts to get real expensive) Lenses I have 6 of a number of different LC 8" lenses now - this is so I can get correct throw distance. I can Liquid Couple the 8" - I have 3 complete sets here now, and then you colour C for the 8". IF I stick with HD8 lenses (non LC) then I have ali case versions, OR I have six NEW HD145 colour filtered to mount into HD8 bases to give me correct colour and better focus (focus is not proved yet) I have everything here for the twins now.
