Daniel's house party!

I was at Daniels's house last night for the demo. Thanks Daniel for your hospitality, and to your family for putting up with all of us.
I agree with everything EHUFF, John Ballantine and Daniel have said. This projector is amazing! They have already covered most of the important issues, so I will just add some "me toos".
VB, I couldn't see any. I've seen it on other projectors, but not on this one. Score: 5 (out of 5)
FPN, This is sometimes confused with VB. The Panasonic had VERY slight FPN, but as Daniel mentioned, not noticeable unless you were REALLY looking for it. Compared favorably to his JVC D-ILA. Score: 4.5
SD, Non-existent. This was probably the most impressive feature for me. I got my nose right up to the screen, and still couldn't see any. But the image still appeared to be very sharp. Not de-focussed looking at all. Again, comparable to Daniel's D-ILA. Score: 6 (out of 5)
Dynamic Iris, This was the least impressive feature. Maybe my hopes were too high, but although there was SOME improvement in black level and shadow detail, it wasn't nearly as dramatic as I'd hoped. It was not obvious at all during normal viewing, (a good thing perhaps), and even when paused at a dark scene, switching DI on and off produced little more than, "Oh yeah, there it is." Score: 2.5
Contrast, Very good. The U-571 scenes were breath-taking. Very 3-D looking, and quite impressive. The Star Wars scenes looked like they couldn't get any better, but when Daniel showed the same scenes on his JVC, there was definitely more depth. Without a side by side comparison, I would be very happy with the Panasonic. Score: 4+
Black Level, Very good, but not as good as I was expecting. Again, maybe my hopes were too high. After reading all this stuff about Dynamic Iris and 2000:1 contrast, I was expecting something like CRT blacks. Well, they're not. But still, pretty good. I think masking would solve the problems here. Score: 4-
Brightness, Looked fine to me. On Daniel's Grayhawk screen, the bright scenes, explosions etc. looked very bright! Score: 5
Color, Excellent! Right out of the box, with all adjustments at zero, I was very impressed! Every scene we watched seemed to be perfect. Score: 5
Sharpness, Looked perfect to me. Even with the 'Smooth Screen' technology, the image appeared to be very sharp. Score: 5
Color Uniformity, Very good. Color scenes looked perfect with no signs of color cast anywhere on the screen. Black and White (Ed Wood) scenes had a very slight color cast, from cool (left) to warm (right), but hardly noticeable. I had to look really hard to see it. Much better than my current LCD*. I don't think it would be a problem for most people. Score: 4
Gamma tracking looked very good to my eyes. Gamma seemed to be slightly improved with the Dynamic Iris on. This was especially noticable while viewing scenes inside the submarine on U-571 on DVHS. The image had incredible depth/shadow detail and resolution. I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night with those images in my head.
Fan noise. We were running the 700 on "High-lamp/High-fan" w/ the Dynamic Iris/A.I." on. The fan was extremely quiet.
With HD, this projector rivals many other high end projectors. Mouling Rouge and U-571 was breathtaking and everyone in the room said so sure DLP will have better blacks, but LCD doesnt have rainbows or gives you headaches.
