I didn't recalibrate for brightness or contrast. I can't calibrate for colors because i'm missing the blue filter that came with my calibration disk. (**** it!)

I'll adjust for contrast and brightness tonight. It will be a while before I can pick up the avia disk, though, and do a proper calibration. I've been hemorrhaging money with the move. It seems I don't spend it in more than 50 dollar chunks, but with the pickup of a new game, the money spent in primer and paint supplies, the money for the gray screen, as well as speaker stands for my front and rear speakers, my play money is all but exhausted!

At any rate, I think you're right about masking the gray bars. I mean, I watched Kill Bill the other night, (on simply the kilz2) and I fell in love with the movie all over again. The blacks actually seemed fine in the picture, but if those gray bars aren't annoying. :-)

It looks like I'll be able to wrap up the theater room this weekend which should include my makeshift masking system. I'll report back, then!
