Personal Experience
HD works well through DVI or RGB connections. Video in works great with older game consoles, but not computers. S-video works great from the computer, but only on graphics, text is practically unreadable. Digital cable at 480i is watchable but HD cable (Comcast) 1080i HD is outstanding.

Absolutely worthless in a room that is well lit, even with iris completely open and brightness on +15 (highest). Definitely for 'movie nights' only. Two 50 watt standing lamps in the room flushes the screen to less than 25 percent viewing. It's a little bit better in HD but not by much.

We mounted it on a wall-mount TV mounting, and it's nice and stable. It gets too hot, though I think. I work with more than a dozen projectors at my job, and although this projector is by far the best picture, it also runs the hottest. I blew a bulb after only 800 hours (and I clean the filter every 50 hours, and it's never dirty.

I think I will try setting it on a pad meant to cool off a laptop computer.

 
Problems
Bulbs shouldn't blow after 800 hours, but what the he11... it's only 250 bucks for the replacement, right?
