Kudos to you Mark for a very thorough, well-controlled test. I similarly find that if I *must* stream a movie, I vastly prefer Apple/iTunes to Netflix/Amazon/Vudu. But most streaming video just falls apart on a 110" projection screen w/...

GoCaboNow: Just so I understand, the Cosmopolitan has no form of tensioning, correct? My CinemaContour with snaps tensions the high power material (I have HCHP, but that's irrelevant) quite well. If you tap it, it sounds like a drum....

Doug-- I like your idea of the two lights in the corners, appearing to shine upward? What are those/how did you do that? I'm amazed the HP 2.8 screen isn't lighting up your room (walls & ceilings)-- maybe b/c it's only 78"? I thought I...
