I know Epson and Sony make projectors that would work for me but I want 100% ghost free picture. I'm happy to keep using my RS2 clone for 2D for the time being.
Is there any possible way to, such as a lens, that would allow it to work in my room? I can't move the walls so that is not an option.
Thanks,
Tom

Purchased to following which all came in today.
Benq W7000
Peerless PRG mount
True depth 3D glasses 4 pair
Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu Ray
Peerless mount is awesome, took 15 minuets to mount it and everything was complete and worked flawlessly with this projector.
True depth 3D glasses all came in with dead batteries, I charged one pair for 10 minuets just to try them out.
Sony S590 actually works quite well, loads 3D movies really quickly and looked great. I have a Oppo BD 83 for my regular blu's which as far as I am concerned has no equal.
And as for the W7000' all I can say is WOW. I haven't even calibrated it yet and I was truly blown away. First thing I did was change the bulb setting to econo because normal was very bright for my 106" screen. Colors, shadow detail, black levels, brightness was way over my expectations. Also much better than what I had and I thought that picture looked good.
I started with Avatar and jumped around through different scenes, when they shot down the home tree scene looked like it was jumping off the screen and I only have the 2D version. Clarity, sharpness are off the hook. Images have such a pop to it that its almost distracting, in a good way.
I then put in Toy Story 3 which I think needs to be in everyones library, unbelievable color and sharpness, I called my wife in to see it. Understand my wife could care less about having a projector and was never really impressed with the last 2 we have had. She walked in and said "wow" then she made the comment that it looks better than our 52" LCD Samsung tv we have had for 2 1/2 years.
Next came just 10 minuets of 3D which we have tangled. Now I know why those who love 3D defend it so much, images looked amazing and the brightness seemed great in my environment. I can't wait to watch a whole movie in 3D now.
All in all I cannot rave enought about this projector even though I have less than 2 hours on it. Lol. I now will look for updated calibration settings to go along with firmware 1.03 which I verified before I even took the plastic off of it.

I'm with you, Avatar looked amazing, the best I seen it in 2D. Much better than my rs40 and 55 IMO. Toy Story 3 was the same way. Animations excel in this projector because of the vivid colors. My fav 3D movie so far on this projector is Journey to the center earth 2. It was really done well in 3D. Wrath of the Titans and John Carter were good ones too.
Just saw the new Spiderman with my nephew today, can't wait to see this one in 3D on the W7000.

I have some dark, grungy movies lined up for the RS55 as well, Chronicle and Lockout. Different projectors for different content.
JVC and BQ should team up for a 'dual light engine' ™ projector.

Optoma ZD201 vs. New BenQ

These might work ok? They are cheap enough to try 1 pair to see how well they work.

The lamp timer has re-set to 0, and all of the pre-sets (normal, user1, user2,user3)are exactly the same. Any thoughts?

Zombie, thanks for the reply. That is my thinking...
