Wow!! How did I miss this fracas?
I noticed a loss of volume at about 45+ degrees, but who gives a turd if the VP150 loses some volume far off to the sides? I paid for mine so I sit right in front of it. The old lady and her cutie pie sister sit 5-10 degrees off axis. Anybody else in the room can go rent the disc and watch it at their place.
Sister-in-law is available by the way (not that it matters, since it seems like everyone here is either married or gay).
