Still need to get a screen for it though (http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5083721&csid=_21). Rocking about 126" on the light tan painted wall. Still looks amazing. Title: Re: happy holidays to Aske and Sal Post by: Aske on December 18, 2010, 08:11:45 AM a couple of pix I took last night, from Bluray and D* box. Wow o wow is Burn Notice scene in soft focus.

Still, I hear the PQ is amazing.

Still, I hear the PQ is amazing. nahhh, have it on now, living room, windows/drape shut in that room but rest of the ambient light from the place is backflooding. looks fine. not as great as night, but fine still. will only be better with screen. only have brightness set at 15/100 Title: Re: happy holidays to Aske and Sal Post by: dystopia on December 18, 2010, 12:29:50 PM wow, what kind of viewing distance are you finding optimal so far? I don't think we could pull something like that off.

I don't think we could pull something like that off. sitting 14-15 feet away Title: Re: happy holidays to Aske and Sal Post by: lennyquai on December 18, 2010, 11:02:23 PM Congrats, aske and sal! If you are looking for screen suggestions, I have been very happy with my Carada Criterion series (106" ??). It was suggested by my neighbor who introduced me to HT. He is an engineer / project manager for CNN, very anal, and tried out a number of screens before deciding on Carada. He felt you had to spend 3-4x the money before seeing noticeable improvements. I believe it was about $750.
Enjoy!! Title: Re: happy holidays to Aske and Sal Post by: Aske on December 19, 2010, 12:03:24 PM Congrats, aske and sal!

Title: Re: happy holidays to Aske and Sal Post by: Aske on December 19, 2010, 12:06:29 PM hmm, looks like I have a little bit of a curtain leak to fix. Still bright though at (20/100 setting) with sunny day , curtains drawn, and ambient light filling room from backside
