Introducing the madVR Envy

After watching a few movie scenes I can say with 100 percent certainty that the Envy is truly amazing. It has totally transformed the experience in our demo theater. Every movie looks incredibly immersive and now I have to go back and watch some of my favorite titles to see the extra detail.

I researched this for quite a while, carefully looking at the available Video Processors on the market. I ended up choosing the Envy and am glad I did. Setup was quick and straight-forward, and in no time at all, I was enjoying what the Envy can do. The Envy completely solved all three of the problems I was experiencing. I can now enjoy a thrilling Home Theater experience. I couldn’t ask for more.

This thing is incredible!! I played around with it and it does wonders on everything I played. The best purchase I’ve made for my home theater to date!! It is so impressive and has breathed entirely new life in my projector. I’m also amazed at how plug and play it is to set up, and how easy it is to use. You guys have really knocked it out of the park.

I can’t believe how easy it went. All I can say is…incredible!  The picture is just stunning — the color, contrast and image brightness is just perfect. Thanks to you all for such a great, easy to use product. It’s actually making my system even less hands on.

Envy is truly amazing. This is what I dreamed of when I bought my Sony 5000, and it never quite lived up to my expectations. With Envy, my theater has never looked better. Deep rich blacks, expanded range, amazing jewel-like midtones, and super-bright highlights, all with lots of detail. The wife and kids are ooh’ing and aah’ing all movie long. Overheard during “The Croods: A New Age” last night: “Dad, you’ve been lying to us for years. Why wasn’t it this good all along?” I still just can’t believe how great things look.”

The integration of the profiles is state of the art! The profiles are quite simple to use yet very powerful. Bravo! It’s so rare to see such a good design at the first beta iteration. I easily created display profiles for 16/9 and 2.35 aspect ratios, mainly to set my preferred Screen Boundaries and Black Bar settings for these aspect ratios. And it’s working great. Congratulations on this release. Everything continues to be very stable. I love my Envy now more than ever!

I’m a trained DCI projector tech and I’ve reviewed HDR under laboratory conditions with blue laser and RGB laser DCI projectors, to tone map Barco Residential models to the ultimate standard. The Envy tone mapping algorithms get it right and consistently so. It also has auto aspect ratio detection, switching, and very soon, masking control. And the switching time is shockingly fast.

…and it’s really a killer, nothing to do with my [competitor product]. It’s a completely different image. So much more brightness while keeping deep blacks and top whites that never clip. And so realistic that one has the impression that one can fit into the screen. It’s stunning! 

…it kills everything I saw before. Its name should be madVR Magic. The image is the best I’ve ever seen. You don’t feel the need to tweak anymore your config for each movie. It just works as you dream it should.

I’m speechless. The Envy is so insanely stunning that I could not believe my eyes. I just sat and stared in total amazement!

Everything has been absolutely fantastic with my Envy. The picture is beautiful, the upscaling is amazing, the lip sync is bang on, and like I’ve stated before, its the most important piece of equipment in my home theater, next to the beer fridge   I honestly can’t wait to be able to have people over again for movie night and show it off.” – Jon G.

The Envy’s DTM and 4K upscaling may be the star of the show, but there are other aspects of this VP that create an amazingly beautiful image. I will always remember my initial impression when I first set eyes on the Envy’s image. It made me feel like I was “really there”, in the movie peering through a window as an observer. Hats off to madVR for designing such a wonderful product.

Yesterday we installed the Envy Extreme, we have received last week. The customer has a JVC Z1, he’s very happy with his Envy, he never saw a better picture anywhere . Thanks for such a great product.
