I am using 50" model for 3 months now. I do not have a LUT box, I have just come with the internal CMS and lots of different settings very close do the R709. I am profiling it with LightSpace CMS and it gets quite nice results. On SONY BVM 20" CRT the image looks (and measures with probe) very very close to Plasma. By eye nobody can se de difference (clients).
Out of the box is quite far from the spec, but you can get close without a LUT box (just need the probe an CMS to measure what are you ding). Now I am judging between Davio and HDlink, I like Davio because of two LUTs, I can use one for CRT and one for panny, but still you get two HDlinks for price of one Davio.
So far I am just finishing a feature film and the proces from Resolve suite, panny+CRT to DCP screenings the results are very good. CRT is the same as DCP but panny just crushes the blacs for a little, like 1-3 IRE on bottom of waveform just get a bit smashed. But I believe the LUT box can fix that.
How do you feed your pannys with unscaled or normally scaled legal video, for video out processing? There are some ranges of the chroma that panny just clips off... but never in the grading session, just on test charts.
