Hi Jack,
Just a note to tell you how satisfied I am, so far, with my new Mitsubishi
2070SB-BK. It took me a while to figure out how to operate the OSD to
control the gun ammplifiers (thank god, I finally got a hold of the NaviSet
remote USB control who, so far, on OSX, works like a charm) but I am getting
a bright 115 Cd/m2 @ D50 chromaticities. It is very nice.

C. D., we met once at one of the Seybolds in SF--I think about three years

From the gist of your comments, it sounds like you're both pretty big fans of

Thanks so much for your time and expertise.
