Edit: Updated pics showing Reality Creation upscaling 1080
Just replaced my Sony VPL-350es with the 675.
Will have a pro calibrate it in a few weeks when he is available. This was just some basic settings done by eye and I know there's a lot more to be had
with a proper calibration.

Setup is easy and the lens shift allows you a LOT of wiggle room for obscure mounting options.
Vertical: +85% -80% Horizontal: +/-31%
Menu is also very intuitive and easy to navigate.
The advanced settings are marked accordingly and you can really go crazy with gamma etc options.
What impressed me most about this unit was the step up to HDR as well as the higher contrast.
This one is 350,000:1 with 1800 lumens and only 26dB fan noise.
With an open mounted box behind the 2nd row of seats, I could not hear the fan, even during quiet spots.
It is also a 3d projector although I will not be using that feature, at least for now.
I have yet to sample Sony Reality Creation to see it's ability to upscale DVD and Blu Ray but given the great ability of the earlier 350 model, I expect great things.
Wish I had better shots than with my cell phone; they don't do it justice.
These were taken at 15' away and the screen is 160" with 19' of throw to the projector.

Image sensors blurred this shot but the image is exceptionally sharp even from 2' away
The blacks were BLACK and you can not discern screen blacks from the surrounding wall
Took this shot from 12' away. Brilliant colors
