Thanks for all the great input!
I am going to double check, but I think I am sitting about 13 feet from the projector. I really can't move back much because of the size of my room and the layout of my surround speakers.
Tonight my wife was throwing a couples shower for her sister and everybody came down and we did a demo on my projector. This time we used Return of the Jedi and the SDE didn't bother me. I am wondering if that has something to do with the quality of the transfer of the movie???
Well, my wife and I are getting ready to watch Man of the House and I know their will be some good outdoor scenes on the football field, so I should be able to make some more observations....
