About the anamorphic zoom memory feature...I think people are missing something here. Movies shot is 2.35:1 or similar and displayed on a 16:9 format projector have the top and bottom 1/3 of the image "switched off" hence the balc bars. What people don't realise is this means that you get about 40% less light output and your image is only 1920 x 700 (approx) zooming to make it fit a screen just pushes the black bars off the screen but does nothing to resurrect the lost lumens, plus of course your pixel size is now huge. Until we get widescreen projectors the only way to get full res' full light output in anamorphic movies is with an anamorphic lens. This is a great projector but the anamorphic zoom is really a "hack" which will suit some but you will never get the snap and boom of true anamorphic widescreen. As long as buyers realise this then they wont be disappointed.
