Now the guy who told me this sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about, so i thought he was just making up excuses for why it was taking a couple of weeks to get one. He said they needed to fix something for the anamorphic lens that was causing a double image. He implied that it came with an anamorphic lens when he told me that. Of course I knew better, but didn't feel like arguing with him so I just let him talk.

So that is consistent with what you heard. He told me that Epson had to update and repackage.

I just want to get my 6010! I'm happy to have the latest software, though. I should have it in a week, hopefully.

Please no questions about why won't Epson allow an end user to do it or what does the new software do? I don't know.

Can someone plz measure the exact distance that the Epson hangs from the ceiling to the bottom of the projector using the stand that comes with it. The reason I am asking is because my Panny 4000 hangs about 9 and 1/4 inches which is just enough clearance for the door to my home theater to clear. I cannot spare another inch or it won't clear. Also, what is the height of the 6010 on it's own? The Panny 4000 is just around 5 and 1/4 inches.

If anybody could provide me with this information, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

You both must be using different mounts or have taken different measuring points as 9 and 1/4 vs 14 and 7/8 is the measurements you give.

Can you confirm that you are measuring ceiling to bottom of the projector please. At 9 and 1/4, that would work but at 14 and 7/8 that would not work for me.

Also, does the 6010 come with an emitter or is there one built into the unit as with the Panny 7000?

Thanks again.
