Hi. I have read this thread with intrigue and am interested in procuring a 2144. I reached out to CurtPalme.com and they were very responsive, but basically told me they have no options for getting a 2144. Does anyone here have a lead on a new or used unit? I know that Substance and Admin (Julien) mentioned that they had direct contact to Lumagen (Jim). Any chance one of you can help me with getting info on a 2144? I am trying to build a setup with an HLD-X0 and really need the 2144 to make it right. Thank you in advance for any help.Mike

Not sure about the power-down thing, but I recently found that for input 11 & 12 it would not transfer the new name I input to the input select menu. It would store into memA ok (and display when selected) and show up on other menu displays like the status screen for example (when you press ok while menu not active) but the OS menu selection from pressing 'input' button still shows 'input 11/input 12. All other inputs work fine with this.

Anyone doing a chain like LD -> ISCAN DUO -> Lumagen 44xx ?

Anyone doing a chain like LD -> ISCAN DUO -> Lumagen 44xx ?

This would allow for 4K input still, but obviously loose all the analog processing and would have to fall back to the iscan and input that to the lumagen.

I'm quite sure substance does use LD -> Lumagen (SD to 4K) -> Lumagen Pro (4k management, color space, etc.) -> display.

Thanks for the info, currently just using the ISCAN to get the signal into the digital domain and letting the JVC projector scale. Trying to decide on dropping the coin on the latest generation of lumagen. Cost is not for the faint of heart.

so, does anyone know how many 2144 have been manufactured?

would love to try out one of them and compare it against

Pioneer HLD-X0

Pioneer DVR-LX70D

Crystalio II


has anyone tried the 3D comb filters on PAL material?

Jim at Lumagen doesn’t know the exact figures. At one point he said he had 40 units left and expected that stock to last 2 years. This should give you an idea for the sales numbers. We are estimating the total production to be around 400-500 units(most sold in its first couple years in production). Most of them were sold to those who wanted to hold on to their analog only source devices. Since there isn’t anything new coming out to replace the 2144, it is unlikely they will sell their Radiance 2144.

Jim is very careful about not flooding the market with a ton of units. The production numbers are carefully selected based on historic figures. I would say %75-85 of the Lumagen customers are returning customers. Lumagen offers a great trade in program when upgrading to newer models. This is to control the second hand market hence why you never see a ton of used Lumagen units for sale. Lumagen considered making a Radiance Pro with analog inputs but the interest was low. If you had bought your Radiance 2144 from Lumagen or one of the authorized retailers directly, they offered a very generous trade in credit towards upgrading to the new Radiance Pro but allowed you to keep your 2144.
