also sirquack i have owned many projectors over the past 10 years. so my answers due have some merit. Personally half the replies at avsforum are no more comments by people such as yourself or i. experminting with there projectors. So before you go as far as to say the majority of people agree with you at any forum is complete b.s. Phone anybody truly thats knows anything about projectors would not argue over something as striaght forward as this. But some due find it hard to sink in. i like to think my car could be a porsche but at the end of the day it is what it is. the same as dvds they are 480p not 1080 not 720. it doesn't matter if you have an onkyo sp1000 for 2000 grand it ain't going to make it any more then it is. well except mabey for you. you are truly lucky then.
