Ajax.....Sorry for the delay.
It does sound a bit odd. I've set mine up now and it looks as good as the nearest DLP equivalent (the optoma H30).
The picture looks just right and very 3d-like (great depth, like you could reach into the screen).
A further addendum to my other thread is that I found out the filter I have is a Flourescent white filter that is used in artificial light conditions, as opposed to what I should've got --- the flourescent day filter which is the same type of filter but only lighter (weaker) used for daytime camera photo's. It just means I had to tweak a bit more, but piccie definitiley improved. I'll post new piccies on my website soon..(if you go to
www.drg4.fsnet.co.uk and navigate to the 'links' page (yellow background), go into 'my new av page' scrolling down. At the bottom is three piccies with the last one on a proper screen. This was before the tweaks in the thread so picture now looks better than this 'ice age' shot. Should give you an idea of how good the projector is.)
Try the settings i've posted and see if you get an improvement....
