Thanks! Yes all packaging was removed. I'll try to return it with warranty but not interested in the same projector. Want to move up.

I have played with the idea of a PJ's and i found the best info is found at Projector Central and over at AVS Forum . Hopefully you can find something that satisfies you, things like this can be extremely frustrating and there is no point spending all the cash and no be able to relax and enjoy it.

My screens weave is angled. Perhaps that's a part of the problem. I took some photos of the pixelization in dark scenes. The worst so far is the opening scenes for black water horizon. Just terrible. I'll post tomorrow when I get a chance. I really don't think it's a calibration problem. I've spent a month trying to make it right, of course not working on it daily..... I'll check out JVC. I assume Epson 5040 is the recommendation from that company? Sony has a ton of projectors and several between $3 and $5k. Sonys lumen rating is low but they have their own technology and those ratings aren't exactly accurate e right?

Maybe a loose hdmi connection causing the pixelation? Whats the throw distance and screen size? Throw distance is at 12'

Damn that looks like 480P or heavily compressed bluray material that isnt being scaled correctly. I can see why your not happy with that. Do you have another source you can try, different BD player or a game console.

I've gotten the same affect from blue ray, regular DVD and my Verizon signal. Am I missing a setting on my projector? Is it down scaling everything to 480?

Is it going through your AVR perhaps something is happening in there. I know my AVR has scaling options and i prefere to just use pass through.Connect your projector directly to bd player and check that bd is outputting 1080P. Honestly i could even be the cable. Maybe put the bd close to the PJ and hook with short cable. TEST TEST TEST

Hmmm interesting. From what I hear a cable is either working or not. If it's working it's processing the signal that's being sent. If it's not working then there will be no image. I know for sales purposes there are a lot of discussions about cable quality but lots of folks say it's not really true that a cable is like a light bulb. It either works or doesn't. However I have another cable so I'll try it and see.
As far as my receiver (Yamaha 3050) I'm not sure if there are scaling options, I will look through the menu and see what I can find. Thanks.

I just tried playing with the video settings on my Yamaha. There were options to set video processing to:
Through Auto 480p 1080i 1080p
It was already set to Auto. I tried all other settings on the same scene as pictured above. No change..... (I didn't bother to try 480).
I'll try a new cable tomorrow.
