Red: 0

Sharpness: 0

Iris range: 0 (lets the iris open completely)
Auto black stretch: Off
Contrast improvement: Off
Transient improvement: Off (anything else produced ringing)
Color management: n/a
Dynamic gamma: Off or Low (Off looks better with B&W content to me)
Custom gamma: n/a
Store: User 1

After saving, press MENU on the remote and then press USER button to select User 1 image mode.

*This next bit of info is a service menu adjustment, it will make the blacks much better on this projector. Please follow these instructions VERY VERY carefully.

The service menu change is to one of the Iris parameters. I don't know what its specific function is but it makes for a darker image. So here's how to change it...
1) On the top of the projector, simultaneously press MENU and INPUT, holding for several seconds until the letter "S" appears in the upper left corner of the screen, then release the buttons.
2) Before the "S" disappears in a few seconds, press SCREEN on the remote, holding until the service menu appears in the upper left corner of the screen.
3) The service menu should indicate User 1 image mode is active.
4) Press no buttons on either the remote or the projector except as directed in the following steps.
5) The first group showing in the service menu is group 0. Press OK on the remote to go to the next group. Press OK repeatedly until you get to group 211.
6) The first item showing in group 211 is item 0. Press the Up arrow (directly above OK) to go to the next item in the group. Press Up arrow repeatedly until you get to item 10.
7) Item 10 has different values for the different image modes, from 0 up to +100 (0 giving the blackest image). Press Left arrow (directly to the left of OK) repeatedly to lower the value of item 10 down to 0.
8) Press ON/STAND-BY on remote to save the change and exit the service menu.

If you ever want to restore the original values to item 10 of group 211, they are:
Brilliant cinema: +40
Creative cinema: +50
Natural: +100
Living: +80
Dynamic: 0 (which is why in previous tweak posts Dynamic always yielded the best black level)

After entering these settings my projector finally looks like all of those amazing screenshots I've seen posted.
Ok,i think i was able to use these settings on my projector.One difference i noticed on mine,i am able to go into custom gamma,but i'm not sure what to do there.Thanks for the tips.
