Well here is a shot off my tv, and since I don't know how to let the aperture stay open longer, it's the best I could do.
I see little grain. This shot was taken about 4' away and if I moved really close, then it seemed a bit more pronounced but nothing like The Dudes shots. I dunno man...his shots look bad to me. Real bad (sorry!).
This is via a LcOS JVC 52" set and no, I've not calibrated it.
I say something is wrong 'Dude'.
