I also just brought one home from Best Buy - they are selling the demo units in the magnolia rooms I guess. The bulb has about 200 hours on it. I paid $1,400 which is cheaper than I've seen this going anywhere online or in a store. I can't believe the guy below says he got one for $600 - that's way below the used price. I think the price I paid was decided by some kid, though. The clerk asked an early twenties looking girl if it was ok to sell it for $1,400 when I was checking out. I guess discontinued demo products don't have corporate enforced price guidelines so you can get a great deal once in a while.
It replaces an Optoma hd70 that I've had for a couple years. It is definitely a big step up. The picture is brighter, higher resolution, and has higher contrast. I'm no videophile but I normally watch a couple of movies a week and like a big engaging picture. This picture is definitely good enough for me. I can't see upgrading again until something goes wrong. This is my third projector so I'm familiar with the progress that they've made over the past 7 years or so. From a consumer standpoint I think this technology is mature. I'm sure there are better projectors out there but I don't think that many people will care much beyond this point.
One irritation is that I'm going to have to move the ceiling mount back a couple of feet to fill the screen. I wouldn't have expected this since it's replacing another home theater projector of the same brand.
