If I recall my first impressions correctly the Reds and Greens are far stronger and there is an increase in contrast (apparent or real).

I ran mine for a fair while without them and there was a difference, more so on red than green. When i put the new green in i noticed it more than i did with the old tubes, the 23,000 hour green had some serious blooming when turned up a bit on bright scenes, so i had it set lower, which reduced the issue. The red only had 14,700 hours, and didnt suffer blooming.

I noticed the settings for red and green have to be a bit higher with the coloured C-elements installed, but as Keith says, it results in stronger primary colours and better contrast ratios.

It is hardly noticable playing video games, but watching movies or watching games run through their demos it was noticable in most circumstances.

Thanks Guys,
Its hard to work out if its worth $500au to get a set. With all the mods I have done the picture is very rich in colour and ultra clean and smooth. I am running Brightness on 45 and Contrast on 70 and it has more than enough punch. I will post some screen shots and see what you think.
Greg.

Yeah mate its worth the effort, it will improve things.

No reason for your contrast/brightness settings to change, im running 80 and 39 on mine for movies, 72 and 39 for games in 1920x1080.

The green and red drive and cut off settings will need adjusting to match the blue.
