Can someone with a HC4900 take a picture of the projector running (ofcourse, take the pic of the screen projected on) WHILE the lights are on? Prefably, dim lights....such as a "somewhat" bright night lamp (say a 60w yellow bulb, not fluorescent). If you can take a video, even better!
When you take a picture/video, play a movie OR put up the Windows Vista screen (if you have an HTPC)....I prefer the Windows Vista desktop screen.
If you got an HD80, HD71, AW10...feel free to take a picture/video with the light on as well.

Here is a link to a video I took of my H31 during the day. I know it's not the projectors you mentioned but if your just looking to see what an image may look like during the day, this should help (the video is at the bottom of the page). http://fieldofgrace.com/blog/?page_id=110. I have the curtians pulled in my living room but have a lot of light coming in from the side windows on the front door and my breakfast area.

Hmosley impressive setup. Maybe you can PM me what you used for screen material as i am doing my screen myself as well. Jeez looking at those makes me rethink buying the Epson 1080p UB and just getting the Epson Home Cinema 720p for 1000 less.

Thanks for the complement, I actually made the screen with help from this forum. It is silver PVC fabric streached over a wooden frame with a frosted vinyl sheet streatched over the silver PVC to help hold down the hot spotting. It does have some slight hot spotting but it doesn't really bother me that much. Here is a link to the origional thread http://archive2.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=309782&page=1&pp=30. I think that the material can still be purchased.
