Personal Experience
Construction is nice and solid with the main casing made of aluminium. It is compact, very nice to handle.
As with the other reviews, the image needs adjusting (specifically the white point) to get the best out of it - on its default settings whites exhibit posterizing.
Comes with a good set of accessories, large range of input options.
We use this regularly in nightclubs - it has been a solid performer and the image is both bright, clear and colourful, even with long runs of S-VHS cable.
Excellent resolution for the price and low noise for the lumens.
Despite some quirks (listed below), for the features if I needed another projector I would seriously consider this type again.
 
Problems
Light spill from lamp tunnel can be bothersome in some situations.
Being a DLP, low-range colour dithering is visible close-up and with some material the rainbow effect can be noticeable - but that's DLP's for you :)
As mentioned microdust gets in the lens and is visible as sparkles; it's only really noticeable on images where 90% is dark - it can be cleaned but you need to open the projector in a cleanroom environment.
Only two of its three feet are able to be extended.
