    Anyone try to paint Polk RC65i grills?

    I have them (7 altogether) and I spray-painted them all with the aerosol spray paints. You're right; getting the color match is tricky but in my case they came out looking fine. I had to apply multiple coats to get them looking even.

    What Should I Look for when Buying a Projector?

    If one's requirements are limited to playing DVDs and XBox games, and wanting a native 16x9 PJ (as James stated at the start of this thread) what is the optimum resolution? The AE100 is 858x484. Is there any reason, given the requirements above, to pay more for a higher resolution PJ like the...
