Thanks for the information Darian! I haven't tried the LT150 with HDTV yet, but will soon and your comments are very helpful. The DVDO Iscan may be my next purchase.
I suspect you have already done this but, if not, click off the "white segment" found in the advanced menu for a video noise free picture. I also found that the natural 1 and natural 2 gamma settings work really well. I use an AVS HTPC with both the LT150 (and my Marantz) and the picture quality for DVD playback is really, really good. I can hardly wait to get my Panamorph!
You can buy a cable from NEC (Component to RGB) Several of the pins have been removed. This allows you to use a progressive scan DVD player for an amazing picture - the colours just come alive and no motion artifacts! As you mentioned you retain full control over aspect ratio and video settings!
Your light halo can be expunged by black curtains to the sides and black material above and below your screen - this really sets off your screen. The halo is endemic to all DLPs - use the proper borders (curtains) and this simply is not an issue. I have painted 8X4 sheets of stryofoam black and attached them to my white ceiling just in front of my screen. This helps with acoustics and reflected light. I also have the walls covered in black material.
Cheers,
