YES, you should keep your screen first, and only then make a decision to upgrade to a higher gain, but I think you will be more than pleased Just be sure to turn your aperture down to -5 once your eyes settle on a comfortable and acceptable brightness. This will prepare you down the road when the original lamp loses 10-20% of brightness in the first 500 hours, then you can open up that aperture a bit to compensate.

And YES!!! D

Not to mention that I just finally settled on a (-5) aperture for me, I realy think it looks best with the 3D/HighLamp mode. And that's on my 1.1 gain AT 120" screen from 18ft away and 2.5 ft up from center of the screen. So some of you folks with the fancy shmancy HP 2.8 screens will probabaly need to go even lower, to -10.

Tonik,
Something is really not right with your set up, I don't know what it is though. I understand how you would see ghosting on GranTurismo, Super StarDust, and maybe a little on BlackOps (not excesseive though), but why would you see ANY ghosting on Open Season and Alice in Wonderland? I have watched both movies and there was not even one single of noticeable ghosting, there may have been some that I could not see at all, and those would have had to have been very faint and far and few in between. This was confirmed by a a couple of others like Thrang and Adidadi.

And with Crosstalk I believe, its one size fits all, if we don't see it, you shouldn't either. Make sure you are using the 3D preset. And make sure your glasses are synching with the emitter, maybe something is wrong with the pair of glasses you had, or the emitter or even the emitter placement. Or like some others said, some BD players can specify what size screen to use. Last, and for the sake of being safe, use the 3D preset without changing any of the 3D preset configurations such as pic adjustments. If you are following all of these instructions, you really should not have any of thse ghosting issues (with the exceptions of some games and some DirecTV 3D programming) but if you're still having problems, then I highly suggest you start looking at a possible defective device in the mix, either the emitter, the glasses, the BD player, the receiver, HDMI cables..etc.

Plasma,
without sounding like a broken record you should go through the thread and check out the past 30 pages, it will take you a couple of hours, it like reading a book. But I discussed this a few pages back talking about the exact things you have asked about. Here is the link below

After this weekend, we will make a more concerted effort to index reviews, screenshots, bugs, calibrations in the first page. So I will get working on that this weekend, but again any help is appreciated.

I have yet to try the PS3 for 3D because it's frankly very lame without being able to pass ARC (HD Audio). So I would suggest you inspect every device in your 3D equation from the playback device, to the cables, to the receiver, and projector and emitter/glasses. As you experience is not at all resembling ours. Sorry you're having a hard time, I know it can be frustrating. Most of us got on the early preorder boat for the Oppo93 and absolutely love this player, including myself, and I actually did not want to keep it at first, but I am glad I am now.

You forgot to add the following:

- What is the meaning of life?
- Why are we here?
- And does Lady Gaga drive a stick?

Oh oh we're talking about 3D? my bad...

I will be serious here for a minute and share a weird experience with the copy of the Avatar 3D I was given.

When I first placed it in my Oppo93, it played right away within 10 seconds.

Then the initial blue movie rating and red copyright warning screens came on where the fonts were actually in 3D and I saw some weird ghosting, and I was like, oh man, this movie is gonna suck and will be ridded with ghosting. Then the movie started and it looked great, except for the one scene where the two recruiters in the begining were trying to convince Sam Worthington to take on his old brother's Avatar job. There were a few seconds where the guy on the right of the screen was talking and there was very noticeable ghosting around his neck, again I was dissapointed but moved on. But then 30 mins into the movie the picture started breaking up badly and my Oppo93 froze up. I had to eject the disc to unfreeze the screen.

Here is where it becomes interesting...

I looked at the back of the BD-R to see if it's clean or scratched and there were at least 3 finger prints a little bit of dust or dirt, so I fully cleaned the BD-R disc and played it again on the the Oppo93. And this time the initial Rating and Copyright screens showed absolutely no ghosting and the scene with the recruiter's neck had virtually no ghosting visible, unless you REALLY look very hard for it because you know it's there. The movie played just fine after that without any ghosting or the picture breaking up and freezing again.

So to answer Thrang's question, I think the BD players do play a role in the 3D quality playback, I know this sounds ridiculous, that some finger prints on a 3D BD disc cause these playback issues, and possibly more visible ghosting due to poor playback, but this is exactly what happened to me.

While a valid point, I may be the first one to debunk it based on my experience so far. There were scenes where I looked for ghosting and found a bit of it, but upon a 2nd "relaxed popcorn in hand" viewing, I didn't care to look for it and did not notice it. So I would say our eyes and stubborn QC nature will be our worst enemies when it comes to 3D viewing. And my advice would be to just relax, pop open an ice cold pop or beer, get you some warm fresh popcorn and enjoy the movie. But if you want to analyze every frame for ghosting or flicker then you'e not gonna enjoy 3D at all.
