Spent about an hour and a half Dialing the convergence. Projector is still too close to the wall because of space issues right now( About 5 and a half foot), but it gave me the most incredible picture I've ever seen in a home cinema projector so far. I can't wait until I get these colored filtered HD-145 lenses on it Laughing . Does anyone have before and after pictures of HD8's vs HD-145 or any experiences. I am having a hard time getting screenshots from people in the forum. What do you have against pictures? Crying or Very sad

I tried to take some good looking screenshots of my setup many times, and found that it is really hard. While I am thrilled of the picture quality of my little NEC 6PG xtra, none of my pictures look as good as in reality (so why should I post?), I have to add my camera isn't DSLR, but not the cheap one either.
Lens test are a bit more harder because the performance difference depends on the actual machine's resolving power (and it's setup of course). Anyway HD-8 -> HD-145 conversions were done countless times, and is always a desirable move.
