I bought a 52mm Hoya FL-Day filter for my AE100 LCD projector back in June of 2002. I tried in on the lens twice for short periods of time and decided at that time that I did not like the way it affected the colors. Well, three weeks ago I decided to try it again and now I'm sold.

A big criticism of any LCD projector and especially the AE100 is the visible pixel structure or 'screen door effect'. Another criticism of any digital projector is that blacks don't look black, but rather dark gray. I've found the FL-D filter really improves both the smoothness of the picture and the darkness of the image. Once I recalibrated the projector's RGB settings with the Avia DVD Calibration disc, I was able to get accurate colors eliminating the pink hue that the filter can add to the image. My image now looks a lot less 'digital'. I first film that I watched after getting it installed and calibrated was Minority Report. I'll have to say that during the course of the entire movie, I never caught myself critiquing the picture, but just enjoyed the movie. Speilberg deserves some credit for that as well...

I got mine from Warehouse Photo for $15.00. It's a cheap experiment and could do great things for your picture...
