Second how could you compare Ruby and Pearl to this PJ . Only if Mr Phelps could hear this.
The unit can't do 1080p24, but it works with 1080p48, so there's nothing to worry about.

As John pointed out already, each unit is optimized the same way that William would do it. The optimization is also availble for JVC projectors, but you have to send the unit to William.

As far as the comparison between the Meridian and a Ruby goes, the Meridian wins out of the box (since it's already optimized). Of course the Ruby can be optimized as well and in my opinion, it's the better performer in the end. I'm not sure if Williams Ruby mod is available yet, he keeps reporting strange things such as red sparkling on the DVI input which I have yet to see (over 30 Rubies so far). But he might be biased since he has always favored JVC and probably makes more money with it. Can't blame him for that. Personally I'd put my money into a Ruby + Lumagen combination and have that optimized (which will probably take much longer than 8 hours though).
If you sit here and tell me the Ruby is better then what Meridian/Faroudja offers , you must smoking some highend dope. I guess you're selling Rubys for a living.

I love All Meridian Gear.
