      Excellent for home theater. Projector is so bright that visibility is excellent even in daylight conditions. Fully HD. Self adjusting based on video input. Excellent value for price. I was up and running in less than 10 minutes having replaced a failed Sanyo PLV-Z5. This model is 3x the lumens, and 2x as quiet.

        I'm a novice home theater user, but for [$] I can't imagine the more expensive projectors delivering a greatly noticeable quality difference. This projector is sharp, quiet, vivid colors. The zoom range is right on the calulations. The only thing noticeable con so far is a delay in syncing from 720 to 1080 resolution which happens watching cable TV. Some commercials are in 720 while the programs are 1080 and the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds when changing resolutions. Maybe the high end projectors change faster. For my use, which is a small amount of TV watching and movies, this projector looks to be just right.

            Use it for my home theater / daily TV. Great picture projected onto a 120" screen from 15 feet. Excellent picture with light control. Watchable but not great in ambient light. Notice some flesh tone issues especially when lots of makeup is used like in news shows but overall great product.

              I use it for gaming and watching TV/movies.

              It workes great! Very impressive.

              Only downside is that the startup/shutdown beepo is very loud. But it is easy to ignore it and it only does it when you turn it on/off.
