I am thinking of getting the Z1. You said screendoor wasn't an issue...how big was the screen and what distance were you sitting at when you saw the Z1?Hi again, Max. I said screen door wasn't a problem for us. I did not see it at all on our first viewing at a fellow forum'ers place. He simply had it on a white wall with the Z1 on a coffee table in front of the sofa we were sitting on. We were about 12' back from an approx 100" diag image.
When we brought his Z1 over to our place and viewed it on a 106" diag DaLite High Contrast Matte White screen with as sharp a focus as we could get, I could see it easily if I moved to about 8' from the screen. At a 12' viewing distance, could not see it, but it resolved (desolved? ) into a not-unpleasant "texturing" on solid surfaces. Actually added to the 3-d look of them. No one else in my family noticed it and I'm not sure I would have if I had not been looking for it per comments posted at AVS. I'm sure a touch of defocus would have removed most of that as so many others have posted. Did not try it.
Good Luck!!

I think that is one of the advantages that DLP has over LCD - less screendoor. I also believe that the Sony HS10 or the Sanyo PLV-70 with a higher pixel count should have less apparant screendoor too.
