    I've had this projector for almost a year, and all I can say it is the best value for the money period! I am projecting this on a 120 inch screen in a light controlled room (a must)Ceiling mounted, with an Denon upconvert dvd player (DVD-557) and every one that sees the image is blown away, I also recently hooked up HD and it brought out the super in the superbowl. I have seen a lot of expensive projectors but this is as good or better than most. I have so far 500 hou... Read more

    This is a terrific projector, right out of the box. I'm using this in my finished basement, mounted from an 8 ft ceiling using the Atdec Telehook mount. The throw distance is about 13 feet, and I'm getting a bright 100 inch picture on a white wall. I don't need a screen, and the bulb setting is on low. Of course, I can control the lighting in the basement, but the picture is just wonderful. I'm using an inexpensive up-converter DVD player, my floor standing JBL speake... Read more

    I purchased this bundle just before Thanksgiving.Excellent picture quality.Even with regular DVD picture looks good (my DVD player does 480p up-conversion).However at 100 size on wide angle view smaller objects do look fuzzy.Projector is very quite. I am running in low-lamp mode and picture is visible even at moderate room light (as long as light is not on the screen).I am really impressed at how good the color looks and how bright is this projector.Can't wait to pair...

    "I installed this projector in my home theater and the picture clarity at 10' with 720p resolution was great, the BrilliantColor made the picture tone and color perfect right out of the box. The 1600 lumens of brightness is more then enough for me to have the room lit and still play video games and watch movies. And the HDMI input was what i was looking for in my theater setup."
