Re: optoma hd81 settings

Have you used a test disk to set the white and black levels? That can make quite a diffeerence to the image.

Over on avs I think there are some D65 calibration settings that might work for you (Guitarman is one I think, maybe Kevin Anderson too). You can try them and see if they're any better than what you have.
