But Al, it's 4K coffee, it has 4 times more caffeine

I'd be fine with the coffee grinding noise if it spat out coffee

Good work Tasso. Sounds like some good improvements there. I was going to post the link but you already have it. Direct link here anyway https://pro.sony/en_AU/product-resources/software-firmware/vpl-vw760es-firmware-update-8101 cheers!

I'm glad these models are going to run thru 2020. Sounds like all problems are getting ironed out which is great news.

Thanks for the update. So is the grinding iris noise gone now?

I would consider this http://shop.benq.com.au/w1090-refurbished.html 100 inch screen image from 2.5 metres throw distance. pretty good for your setup.

Great find Javs! I couldn't find anything under the lamp model number myself.

Black bars outside, the frame on your screen should take care of that. It';s about 6% of the screen width so 3% each side of the viewable picture area. I hardly noticed it, same on the Sony's. If you're screen is 3000mm wide for example, the black bars would be 90mm each side. And if you're wall is also a dark colour it's a non issue as well.
