Does anyone here have a high power screen from Dalite with their 8720? I just ordered one and I am wondering, in addition to closing the iris all the way down should you also should run the lamp on 200w instead of 250w. At such a high gain does it warrant a complete recalibration?

I'm amazed at the ambient light rejection on this screen. I have the iris about 3/4 closed at 200w and the picture is very watchable with the overhead lights on. Are you switching from a different screen?

I have the video spectra right now and was debating between the matte white versus the high power. I hope I made the right choice.

I have an 8720 with a 110" hi power and it looks amazing to say the least! I also have the iris 3/4 closed and the lamp on low mode. The difference between high/low lamp mode is noticable but I would say more like a plasma to lcd tv. I was thinking of turning the iris all the way down and setting the lamp on high to see what that would look like. I would think the colors would be that much more intense and hopefully more shadow detail.

I'll go try :)
