I got this projector to replace a Sony Cineza VPL-10 (I think it was designated), which was a superb machine for the price but had a serious annoyance - a noticeable screendoor effect when the camera panned across a homogeneous field (such as sky). Of course, I sit close to the screen, so this probably didn't bother everyone. The picture quality of this projector is astonishing. There is no screen door effect, even sitting 6 or 7 feet from the screen. You almost have to put your nose to the screen to even see the pixels. The contrast is much deeper; even very dark scenes are full of detail, and I have a window in my theater. The projector is indeed extremely quiet, compared to any other I've heard. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it highly. The only downside, I think, is that Sony has retained a rather poor remote, although they now provide an intelligent scanner of input signals so you don't have to cycle through everything (thank you!). There are also some lines above or below SD programming from DirecTV, but only on a few channels. I don't know if overscan controls will eliminate that (I haven't tried because I don't watch channels with bugs anyway).
