I didn't read this whole thread, but a word of warning to those new to calibration and tweaking...
If you are going to do it yourself....meaning entering the hidden service menu....read, study and think through what you are trying to accomplish and adjust. A couple of dry runs through the AVIA oe VE disc using the reg adjustment to understand where your TV needs adjustments, then do the research on each problem and the rec. adjustments...here, AVS forum and home theater spot are all good sources. LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANT DO NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE ORIGINAL/FACTORY SETTINGS IN THE SERVICE MENU WITHOUT WRITING THEM DOWN FIRST. (sorry for shouting, but the HT highway is littered with members whose TV looks like crap because they didn't document first).
Bottomline: Have a certified ISF tech cal. your TV,FP etc. For the price of one component, all of your source materials will look their best, because the projector is reflecting at it's top performance. It's like upgrading the entire video side of your system.
