First of all, I would like to thank the members of this forum for helping me improve my home theater. I have learned so much from you guys. I am now a front projector newbie. I am upgrading from a 32" Toshiba. Initially, I was planning to purchase a plasma this year, but a change of plan occured after hearing about the Z2. I ordered my Z2 just after Thanksgiving and just got it this past Friday. (8 weeks!)
A breeze to set up. Image is stunning out of the box. I have not even played with the color or other settings. I am projecting a 90" image onto an eggshell off-white wall (right now). Seating is between 11 and 13 feet away. Screen door is visible from about 8 feet, so not an issue. No vertical banding or dust blobs, I think.
However, during a uniformly light scene, I immediately noticed an approximately 2" rounded "smudge" just about dead center. I do not think it is a dust blob, since it seems that they are best seen during dark images. This "spot" is very subtle, and slightly darker or duller than the surrounding image. It is not visible at all on dark scenes or the medium blue background of the Z2 when the DVD is stopped.
Please advise. I find that I am quite distracted by this. If this has been discussed, I must have missed it.
Thanks.
