Thanks guys. We watched about an hour of different stuff to test it out last night. It takes some getting used to. I'm so used to seeing speakers it's hard not to think I'm just watching a huge TV now. Here's how I ended up dealing with the light bleed through. I jusy stretched fabric across the goal posts frame.

Does anyone out there know the "optimal" colour settings for an oppo 103? I changed the hdmi colour space to 4:4:4 and depth to 36bit undithered. I'm not sure if I should have done that or not. My PJ is an epson 8345 and accepts 12bit colour (not sure it can produce it though.)

Not sure if its the black backing behind the screen, or the settings, but something seems a little off. Maybe I'vejustnever seen blacks like this out of my PJ before.
