I'll try and check out the info on AVS...
But anyone know how the layer change is? No chroma bug?
If it's not worth waiting until the last minute to do, then it's not worth doing.

Zenith 318 + Infocus X1 - black bar issue fix!
From a poster on AVSforum:

Re: 1" vs. 3+" black r/h side bar
I took some more time with this player to see if I could figure the problem out. I noticed the bar wasn't as wide as last night.
The bar was a little different width on every resync of the x1 - sometimes up to 4" but as small as 1 & 3/4. Switching sources would show this.
Playing with the x1 settings, the Tracking setting under the advanced menu completely removed the black bar - no repositioning of the horizontal needed!! I had to run the tracking setting up to 97.
AWESOME! I spent the next 1.5 hours calibrating, and this player rocks. Running through the test patterns, the player does crop about 2% of the right side of the image, but the x1 calibration has taken care of the problem nicely. Now I can switch to other sources and only need to select the saved setting for colors, etc |
Just an FYI for you guys with the player.

I would hypothesize that it is probably more of an issue with the X1.
The X1 occasionally loses synch with the unit on a white screen on the older firmware. A popular Samsung HD tuner + X1 had an issue with this. Infocus said the problem was an issue with the Samsung transmitting an out of spec signal for a digital device. Apparently a lot of products aren't quite up to standard for all-digital devices yet, but work fine on other analog type equipment.
Infocus came up with a firmware update that fixes the out-of-synch issue with the Samsung HD tuners (and coincidentally, by reports, the occasional out-of-synch problems that some other units also get with the X1).
I would guess it's not so much a design flaw as an issue from the combination of the two units.

I haven't gotten a call back from Expert yet saying they have the one in stock they promised me. I will post and comment when I get my hands on one.
