No, but the down side of 3 CRT units is CONVERGENCE of the 3 CRT's. I used to work part time for a AV company and we did projector instaltions. On Pro units which cost $10,000 to $18,000 there is a lot of adjustments that can be made to get the 3 CRTs perfictly alinged. But on home units ($2,0000~4,0000) there is not as much. Have you had a service tech come out an d go over it since you got it???
Most need to reconverged once they are installed. John

I heard from friends & online reviewers that the HS51 is one of the best video display devices (for the buck) that you can possibly get.

I own an Infocus Screenplay Projector, which I love. I was thinking about changing over to the HS51 (as soon as I can see one in person)
