Anyways, glad you are enjoying your projector, a calibration disc (Like Digital video essentials HD Basics) does help. Some of the problems can be resolve, but some only by Service menus (like ISF), but lets not get carried away. I'm glad you like the projector though. I wish I had a 1080p projector.

Cheers, i'm enjoying it quite a bit (and once I get time and build a scope screen [2:35:1] with black 'curtains to bring in for 16:9 and 4:3 content I think i'll enjoy it even more). I'm sure you enjoy your 56 inch 1080p DLP TV as well.
I've yet to have any focusing problems (or maybe my eyes aren't up to scratch, but either way it hasn't been a problem for me yet). I watched Transformers and a few episodes of dilbert last night (one after the other) and it was still entirely in focus (at least as far as my eyes could tell, or maybe i've just been lucky and got a unit without a problem).
Problems I have had so far is that for some material I am getting a small green line (it looks to be one pixel at the bottom of the screen, which is never there for dvd content though which leads me to believe it is the set-up), though it no doubt is easily fixed and something to do with how I have set it up. The other problem is my bulb timer isn't counting the hours the projector has been used.
I've seen many ISF calibrations and whilst they do look fantastic I personally cant justify the cost untill I get a better projector that is in a more permanant position (i'll be moving in two months, and moved in January this year, and July last year etc...). So ISF for me is out of the equation at the moment. (+ I do like fiddling with the calibration myself when I have the time, I do have a HD basics blu ray calibration disc somewhere, god only knows where though).
