Some of you may have read Lindahl's post about his visit to my house for some listening:

Since his visit and mention of the stereo image being pulled to the left when sitting in the listening position, I have been more bugged about it than before. It is something that I sometimes notice, and other times I don't, but after Lindahl's visit.....I noticed it all the time.
I played with the blinds on that side of the room, opening them, closing them, trying different angles, and messing with the curtains too. I also changed the toe-in, and pulled the speakers out another inch.....I thought it all helped. After more listening, I was not happy...the image still pulled.
So I set out again to try and figure it out lastnight. As I was standing in front of the TV listening for image pull while that close, I noticed my TV was slightly askew.....slightly pointing towards the left side of the listening position. Hmmm....lightbulb comes on in my head. I re-position the TV, and the pull to the left is gone!!!
The toe-in is causing reflection off of the TV. I have bias lighting behind the TV that I will move and then push the TV back another inch and see if that has an effect. As of now, I can literally steer the stereo image by angling my TV in different directions.
Another reason for a projector. :)
