Good to hear that Oppo has another happy customer.

As Viera4 says, if you've got light control, a grey screen isn't necessary.  A lot of the darker screens have high gain and this comes with issues such as directivity (if you're on an angle the picture is hard to view, like early LCD screens) and hotspotting (where the center of the screen is brighter).  Plus high gain usually = high price.

Having light coloured walls is not ideal, but doesn't mean a grey screen is needed.  Stopping light leakage around the edge of blinds is much more important.

Whereabouts are you?  Sounds like it might help if you and the wife could see a proper set-up.

just south of sydney, I would love to see a 9000 or similar properly set up( wife needs convincing) the 6000 in harveys did look washed out but there was lots of ambiant light and the screen also looked cheap. Just blurays on my 63 plasy with oppo looks really good but its just too small from 5m sitting.The majestic screens get rave reviews on here, just want it too look as good or better than my plasma or i will never here the end of it, my kids do use this room also but they always pull the double blinds down every time they enter. The room has double doors also and is usually fully closed during the day( i dont like people in my man cave when im not there) light control is not a issue. Just want too be happy with the image if i go to 9000 as I am a bit fussy (the black levels looked crap on the 6000). Ahh its a tuff one. cheers for input guys.

Might be worth a call to The Cable Connection to see if they have a demo unit set up in their Erskineville site.

yes am not sure whats with the 6000 but whenever seen one its looked washed out. with what you describe I wouldnt say you need a grey screen I dont have a bat cave, and a standard white screen works a treat
