but help we out on something - I agree a capture is 100% accurate, and you say the digicam photo is 90% true to what you see.. I looked at both pics and the top one looks like a dvd compared to the bottom, so even at 90% what you see is in fact closer to the bottom one... or am I wrong?

Yes, Image two is close to what I see on the my screen. I prefer a little brighter image and so I calibrate my Epson 1080UB projector as such. I'm also using a DaLite High Power screen which increases brightness. If I were to calibrate it totally "accurately", I would have to really reduce the brightness down to the point where it would look close to image one -- which is close to the way it's "supposed" to look.

I have never been one to totally stick with "perfect" calibration. Some people spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to calibrate everything to what the experts say is "perfect." But perfect for me is what I like to see on my screen. That's one of the reasons why I sometimes prefer my screenshots to the pure computer image captures -- which often appear a little dull and lifeless to me.

Here's a link to my latest movie screenshots of the Sixth Sense. These are about 90% accurate to what I"m seeing on the screen. The actual screen images are a little better than these photos can depict. Also remember that these are photographs of images on an 8 foot screen.
