Personal Experience
I have had this projector for a month and I cannot get the color adjusted properly.
Part of the picture shows good skin tone while other parts show a definite green tint. I can get the reds adjusted and then when a different shade of red shows up it has a strong purple tint. I haven't figured out the pattern yet. The default settings look horrible at best. The colors do not come close to my 14 year old CRT 27" TV that I am still using in my bedroom. I purchased this projector thinking that I was going to see movies with great color contrast. All I can say is that it has good light output. The colors are awful. When I watch a movie on the projector I spend all of my time adjusting the colors. I am trying to determine why this is but this is a problem that I have never had with a CRT TV.

 
Problems
Default color settings are awful and I am having to look into an additional purchase for a calibration DVD as well as spend the time working on this rather than enjoying my new projector.
