Came out of the box in low power mode, only thing I did was a little keystone. Put about 6 hours on it last night, will tweak after it gets a few more hours on it, plus with all the people having troubles with these I figured instead of wasting time calibrating I would enjoy it then if it had no problems tweak.

Use with the WDTV Box and a PS3 Slim with everything from video from Dish & Directv HD to 1080p Trailers downloaded from the net to Dvd and all look pretty good, "This is It" really has pop to it now...

BTW, if you want to do a price check at Amazon on this, be careful. Amazon is forcing you to go to checkout to see the price and the abort button is not obvious. It is a very small piece of text down at the bottom.

I paid just under $1,300 with one day shipping (had a $25 dollar gift card) ...

A couple of shots from HD DVD, my player is only 1080i & camera is not that great... I see no SDE or rainbows with this upgrade.

What did you come up with for contrast? I tried with 3 different sources, and I got 3 different numbers. The results ranged from 13-21.

What cal. disc did you use for contrast? Do you have a white screen? Thanks.

**dfergie** · 03-17-2010 07:37 PM

No disc yet, going to let it "burn in" I used the HDNet stuff they used to show a few years back... my screen is diy with a white material stretched over a gray... http://www.satelliteguys.us/2030653-post24.html (diy screens)

If you're looking for screen advice, I may be able to help.

dfergie, what is your throw and screen size? How far from floor? I read these don't have lens offset. Thinking about one in the future, but I would want a pull down screen wall mounted close to ceiling. Just curious.
