So it's been a bit since I heard anything here about this device.

To all of you that have one, has it become a go to can't do without device, or just a cool you to play w occasionally?

Have you found that you need to have a certain screen size (100" pj screen) or display type (projector, plasma,etc) to really notice things?

Any input would be appreciated. I AM looking at the stand alone device, NOT the one built into the Oppo.

    The Darbee does make a slight improvement in picture quality. I have a large 120" and a 46" plasma and have one on each display. There is added detail and unlike most detailers, it does not add EE or edge enhancement (ringing) when used carefully. I do have an issue where when playing back a couple of 3D Blu-Rays. The audio drops out every three-five seconds. Pacific Rim was one and I can't remember the other.

    Occasionally, the system will reset to it's defaults for no reason. I have removed it from the 46" display and can say I did not miss it too much, but on the 120" screen, it is a noticeable improvement...

    Thats what I seem to be reading. It makes me wonder if its worth looking at for my 60" as I dont see a PJ anytime in my future.
