Temperatures>
Those folks that thought the LT150 appeared a tad blue out of the box in the white areas, you were right!

The temperature is not terrible, but it could be a bit more linear. If course, the brightest areas are the most noticable and on my unit, they did indeed run a bit to the blue.
Luminance (Gamma)s>
Here is a graph of the luminance output when the projector is in 'Natural 1' mode. It could use a little tweaky-tweak, but looks pretty good.

Color Capabilitiess>
The projector won't be able to do the deep, deep reds of a 3-chip DLP, but saving $25,000 in the price should make you feel better about that. There is plenty of saturation in the very slighty orange red, though.

I think that the biggest coloring concern is a deep green, which will come out a little on the pale side (towards yellow). The D-ILA has a green that is in the stratosphere due to the Xenon bulb.
I do understnad that some of these issues are not LT150 specific, but DLP specific. LCD projectors should be able to produce a somewhat more saturated green.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures! I probably won't have a chance to make any more for a little while, but I wanted to get these up while I could.
