People who state what you have are usually settling and usually have no reference for a calibrated image. If you did, you would likely not have said what you did. Seeing is believing I guess.

Well, i'm an odd cookie here, in that no one sold me my projector so to speak. I built it myself (though I didn't do the initial case work, but have since moddified it significantly). I personally do prefer a calibrated set (and have done so using such items as hd basics on blu ray, and have also used several proffesionally calibrated sets and have appreciated them). I also know several people who have prefered there set calibrated entirely by eye whilst pausing the film etc, I personally haven't ever been able to get a good result when I have tried this myself as I find whilst you may get very nice results in some areas, it will leave significant faults in other areas.
