Philips Showline compared to Colorforce

[dnull]

Has anyone worked with the Philips Showline equipment. I looking at purchasing Color Force 12 and 72 but the Philips Showline Bar 640 and Par 150 seem interesting. Not much user info on the Showline especially the Par 150.

I've seen demos of all of the ShowLine stuff as well as Color Force. They've revamped the PAR 150 three times and they still don't have it right. It's really not that great. The bars are pretty nice, but I love the amber LEDs in the color force - they really allow you to do a lot both in the amber/yellow range and the lavender/purple range that you can't do as well with RGBW. I did just see a bunch of ShowLine bars (660s, I think) at a concert that I went to tonight, and they looked pretty good, but they were all pointed right at the audience and not lighting a drop. You should be able to get a demo of the ShowLine stuff from your Phillips dealer, they're trying to push it pretty hard right now.
