Personal Experience
I did a lot of research prior to choosing this model. It has all of the features of some of the more expensive "home theater" projectors at a fraction of the cost. It has the ability to adjust each color vice all three in general. Furthermore, it allows for gamma correction.
Overall, I would recommend this projector in a heartbeat. I am using a 100" Panoview, 1.0 gain, white screen resulting in outstanding video and gaming picture. At less than a thousand bucks, you can't go wrong. It also has a three year manufacturers warranty, and with a name like Canon behind it, you can't go wrong.

 
Problems
1.The picture at Canon's website shows the back as having a component input built in. It does not, it does come with the VGA/Component adpater though. This creates a problem of hooking a computer and DVD/XBOX at the same time.
2.No PIP capability, therefore I can't surf the web and watch a movie at the same time. (see comment above)
3.The default cinema settings for the projector are not the greatest. If you adjust it, it will save your settings, great, but if you switch to say the XBOX, you have to adjust it again, and there is only one saved custom setting. Minor incovenience.
