So the SIM demo "wasn't quite there"? [/b]
The Sim demo (of the production projector) was a very nice demo - different style of material - but it felt different to the Meridian demo. It was probably technically similar in quality but more clinical. Even before Bob said it, I could imagine that I was in the front row of the cinema.

The demo of their engineering sample was poor but I guess it was to demo to people 1080p. In all honesty, my 18 month old, 1/3rd the price LCD display handles 1080p almost as smoothly (which is not great). But SIM did say that their engineering sample did have motion issues.
