Color accuracy be fantastic in Theater setting . the pixel fill\/smooth screen design eliminate any screen door effect or video noise , regardless of distance . even so the image remain sharp . a 106 '' diagonal 1.0 gain white screen in a dark room be push the limit in Theater mode . use a smaller screen -lrb- 92 would be great -rrb- or increase the gain -lrb- 1.4 -rrb- to keep the bright plasma like `` pop '' . contrast in general be excellent , but absolute black level be lack -lrb- a shortcoming of all reasonably price lcd projector -rrb- . in a light controlled room the widescreen black bar be very obvious . watch predominatly dark movie -lrb- descent , Underworld , etc. -rrb- really show the limitation of the black level . the headlamp in Descent give enough light to open up the auto-iris , result in a dark gray glow from area that should have be pitch black . even in scene of complete darkness , with the Iris fully close , the screen light my room with a gray luminance . reduce the brightness control and increase contrast do not help . to I this be not a minor defect , but a major distracting limitation of the technology . at this price point you can not have everything . on a reasonably size screen the Panasonic come close . if you can live with black that be good but not quite black then this be the projector for you . I return the Panasonic and be save for the new JVC rs40 when it hit the market December 2010 \/ January 2011 . dk
