Here are my settings. No warranties expressed or implied...
Memory 1 - Default (useful to know where you've come from)
Brightness: +3
Contrast: 0
Gamma: Default 1
Colour Temp: 8000K
Sharpness: 0 (at a guess - it's set to 4 on mine which I may have inadvertantly done before saving)
Iris: 4
How does it look? A bit too dark, too little shadow detail, and colour too saturated for my liking, that said all the projectors I saw on demo all looked similar and people seem to like this kind of pic.
Memory 2 - "Big Telly"
Brightness: +6
Contrast: +2
Gamma: Custom Default 1, +14, +14, +13, +12, +12, +7, +6, +11
Colour Temp: Dynamic
Sharpness: 4
Iris: 4
How does it look: Exactly as I describe it, like an 83" CRT TV with colour and brightness (and sharpness) which pops your eyes out, ALL shadow detail is revealed, contrast isn't too bad IMHO despite my flippant comment above, the brain can do strange and wonderful things with contrast...
Memory 3 - "Best of Both Worlds"
Work in progress this, since seeing the demo PJs, I'm trying to produce a darker pic which doesn't lose the shadow detail. I've tried by starting from Memory 1 and working up, and also by starting from Memory 2 and working downwards (in terms of brightness). After much fiddling I've found that simply starting from Memory 2 and reducing the Iris to 2 gives me the best effect so far - but there's more to find I'm sure.
Factory Menu
I've also tweeked STRIPE, VCOM and NRSH in the factory menu to reduce
VB. These settings are so machine specific that to publish them is probably counter-productive. The on screen test graphics are the best guide. Important: write the defaults down before adjusting anything!
Note: no filters, calibration discs etc have been used to produce these by the way, just my own preference. I may have used the THX calibration pics for Memory 2 but I've probably tweaked them further.

Edit: PS Kopite, I like the look of those settings you list, they may be what I'm looking for in Memory 3! I'll give them a try!
