Anyone know of any projectors with DisplayPort? I looked around a few of the usual suspects like Newegg and Dell,and I finally asked in the SHSC monitors thread with a bunch of people saying that they basically don't exist. I need one for my office where a bunch of higher ups have moved to Macs and seem to have weird issues with our existing projector over DVI or VGA with those dongles they have to use. It blows me away that with HP, Dell, etc are all moving to DisplayPort on their corporate laptops yet can't sell me a DisplayPort projector to go with them.

Do you guys want me to start an actual projector thread with an informative OP and all that? We've been using this one for years.

Very, very much.

I'm really thinking about buying an i1 Pro and running the "Color Calibration for Dummies" and I'm eager to hear if I'm totally going down the wrong direction.

So is anyone a calibration expert? The colors on my Dell 1609WX have gotten spectacularly awful. I've seen a couple of guides but I'm just not sure which one do use. The tricky part is, I leave it over at my girlfriend's place and she's got a MacBook. Most of the calibration guides use Windows software. I assume an ICC file will work across platforms though.

I'm not 100% sure. I think turning on eco mode really screwed it up, as well as me messing with the brightness. I've tried turning eco mode off and bringing the brightness up, but no amount of messing with the settings brings me even close to what I know the picture should look like from looking at the Macbook screen.

It's too dark / muddy in some parts, but too bright in some dark parts and it's got some serious color push going on. I think red / green but it's really hard to say.

Edit: http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10457 is the guide I am thinking about using, but before I go drop $150-200 on an Eye-One I think I should seek some opinions from you guys.
