Congrats on the upgrade! Home Theater just keeps getting better all the time.

Your PJ has LENS SHIFT, which allows you to move the image vertically and horizontally inorder to center your image when you can't center the lens perfectly on the mount. Look in your manual about lens shift. and get those adjustments set back to centered. Make sure your PJ is square to the...

Good catch there! I completely missed it. He has a 21:9 screen. Teachsac is exactly right. You have the wrong screen for watching 16:9 content unless you plan on buying or building a masking system. The 2.35 or 2.40 format is for cinematic films. Most people who buy the cinematic...

Sounds like you have something set wrong on your source player. The panny PJ can only display what you are sending to it. You have to make sure your source is set to send a signal to a 16:9 display not a 4:3 display. Your post is very hard to follow but I think that is your problem. The...

You would see those black bars on a flat panel as well. Nearly half of all movies are are a wider than 16:9 format, cinemascope as was explained above. 16:9 is the format for HDTV and a compromise between the 4:3 of old tv and the 21:9 format of cinemascope movies. With a good screen and...

It's called judder and it's what happens when film captured at 24fps is processed to display at 60hz. Telecine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its not the BD player, its the crap chipset Sharp put in their crap tv. Although I agree component was fine without HDMI...

My research shows that tv has that problem with more than just BD players...

Did you set the player out put to 720p?

They are already available - this one has a lamp life estimate of 20,000 hours: Vivitek Projectors: Vivitek HC7500A DLP projector

All the marketing numbers are out the window when you set your PJ up in your home - most people don't have a perfect light trap theater room to be able to detect the subtle differences between most of these PJs so you will be fine and I think you are going to really enjoy a HUGE screen. Take...

If it was me, I'd pick the Panny... You will have > $1K to spend on other things you might want like a better screen and a better sub. I seriously doubt you will be disappointed.

Why buy used when you can get a new 720p pj for $600?

In fact, start here: Official Sony VPL-HW15 Thread - AVS Forum

Don't tell anyone I said this but run on over to AVSForum.com and start studying the Projector forums. LOT's of good info there to help you get educated. ;)

True, there are several excellent models in that price range from other companies - since OP preferred Sony, I was trying to use that to get him to consider front projection. :)

It's not so much the size of your lcd as it is the video circuitry your panel uses to scale the image. All lcd panels are much higher resolution than an SD signal. Low cost panels will do very little to improve the image quality. You will need an external video processor or a flat panel...

:D ...and that is from a 720p $800 PJ. I always grin when I turn it on. :)

Keeping direct light off your screen and setting up the right screen for your environment is key to getting excellent performance from your PJ. Sports can tolerate a lot more ambient light than most movies so being able to control the light in the room is important. Gregg is right though, you...

Why don't you spend your budget on a Home Theater projector and watch a true big screen, say 120" instead of 65"? Sony has a few excellent models in the $3K to $5K range that will really give you what you are looking for.

Email is worthless. You must call every day. It's the only thing that makes them want to make something happen. People can ignore email and claim they never saw it. Call, call, call, call, call, call, call, call - see? Even reading it makes you want it to stop!

Are you calling corporate everyday? It helped me move things along.

I would have gone for the Panasonic AE4000u and a fixed 120" Dalite Video Spectra screen...

You have to call every day - they forget about you otherwise.

The closer to the screen the brighter your image will be but the less sharp it will appear. Stick to somewhere right around halfway and get one of the paint formulas on AVSForum in the DIY screen section like S-I-L-V-E-R or the formulas that have since taken it's place. A sheet of WilsonArt...
