If your PC knowledge is solid I would probably get an X-Rite I1 Display LT and use the free tools on AVS. You can then calibrate for less than $150 which is stellar value for calibration. You can also use it on your Hans-G Edit: I'm ordering my X-rite soon and using HCFR for calibration. Your projectors setting are available on Amazon. My bulb is at 1000 hours and now I think the calibration is worth it. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=983943 Catbrat I think grunt is referring to Projectoreviews.com. Most of his comments match Arts comments in his exceptionally detailed reviews. I'm not sure about the Epson but my Benq W5000 and his Panny 4000 both have very low input lag (Crucial for gamers). The frame response is nice too but my DLP doesn't really ghost so I don't have any complaints there either.

If you get a chance I’d like to hear your opinions of it. Yes I am referring to Art’s comments. He is a big black-level and brightness fanatic which I understand because of the pop and wow factor that gives. However, there are other PQ factors I look at like the shadow detail and also I like the “DLP” look which was why I also considered the Benq. 3M80 2M22 6QS8 2M2 1EP500 Sony BDP-S590 Panny-7000 Onkyo-3007 Carada-134 Xbox Buttkicker AS-EQ1

I also appreciate shadow detail (Gamer) and things like input response which none of the PJ review sites even test for. I wish art would use TFTCentrals input lag tests. VERY useful information. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2311h.htm I just ordered the Dell U2311 because I can't stand using a TN panel. IPS color reproduction is much more accurate. I also just ordered Axiom M22 v3s. Looking forward to it! I started another thread for comparing them to Energy and Klipsch bookshelves. Should be fun!

I had a hard time ferreting out useful information about gaming qualities of projectors when I was last shopping. Looking forward to your speaker comparison. 3M80 2M22 6QS8 2M2 1EP500 Sony BDP-S590 Panny-7000 Onkyo-3007 Carada-134 Xbox Buttkicker AS-EQ1
