I've been doing as much research as possible, reading the excellent tutorials and forum posts here.

I have two questions that I can't seem to answer;

1) Does my BG808 have Scheimpflug adjustments? From the crt tutorial done on the NEC it looks like it's behind the lens assembly. Is this the case with the BG808? If so, how do I go about adjusting it?

2) I ordered a colorimeter and would like to take a shot at stepping through the grayscale/color calibration tutorial here using HCFR. I read that I need to make G2 pots adjustments. I can't seem to find specifically where and how to adjust that in my pj. Does anyone have a picture of this or an explanation of how to do it?


Thanks in advance for all the help. I've found so much information here already that I've been able to get my pj setup pretty well. I've gone through the process enough now that I feel comfortable in the menus. Now I'm ready to really dig in and make this thing look better than ever! Overall I'm very happy I went with crt!

Have a great day!

The Graphics 808 models have Scheimpflug adjustments for better corner focus, the Data models do not.

Yes it should.

I'm sure I looked at this at one time and forgot where I saw it. Thanks!

I saw this before and I notice now that they show a wrench adjusting it. I saw four bolts coming out behind the lenses that are hex shaped, one near each corner of each lens. Are these the scheimpflug "bolts"?
