Thanks for the definitive list of pros and cons. I am on the verge of buying a second projector (thinking Optoma HD65 or HD66) just to watch black and white movies on. My Panny simply CAN NOT give me an image that is all one color. It has been sent to Heartland, and even to Panasonic's facility in New Jersey for "extensive" servicing (I got a new bulb out of them, but I seriously doubt whether any attempt was made to align the panels). I have one color on the top left and the opposite color on the bottom right of the screen (see the screen shot attached). I haven't got the energy to pursue a solution to this problem any further, but still, I want to cry each time I see a black and white movie on my 140" screen (whether it's a tear-jerker or not!). My previous projector was a BenQ PB6200, which produced stunning black and white images. My question is this: Is it correct to assume that DLP technology (on a properly-adjusted projector) will produce a good black and white image? I had no issues with rainbow effects, and at this point spending a further $700 on a second projector seems pretty reasonable.

Broken PT-AX200u There is a PT-AX200U for sale near me, however the projector keeps shutting down on its own. Sounds like a over heating problem? Any ideas I can check???
