Well, I've had mine now for a few weeks and love it. It took a little while to get it set up properly (fine tuning the colors), but it's fantastic. Two small complaints are background noise in dark scenes (annoying) and the fact that it dramatically reveals imperfections in the system (e.g. poor video transfers and imperfections in the screen). My screen has a subtle texture and it stands out in plain images (you have to look for it, but it's definely there). As for the grain, it's mostly there on mediocre disk transfers and poorly shot HDTV shows (24). The latter is dissipointing as it's one of my favorite shows. Oh well. Overall it's still one nice PJ. On a side note, anyone who wants to maximize this PJ needs to have absolute control of light in the room (which includes dark walls, ceiling, floor, furniture, etc). The main attribute of this PJ is it's native on/off contrast ratio. If the bright parts of an image within a dark scene elevate the ambient light levels in the room, it also elevates the black level which by nature decreases the on/off CR at that moment in time. One needs to decrease the reflection of light to maintain the projectors superb on/off CR. Having said that, nobody seems to complain who has white walls and ceilings.
