| Personal Experience |
| I have had the 8700+ for about 6 months now. It is ceiling mounted at about 13' from a 110" Stewart Firehawk screen. As others have also noted, I unpacked the projector and plopped it down on a table to have a quick look at its "out of the box" performance. Watching a Star Wars trilogy DVD on my textured plaster wall that first night was an unexpectedly awesome experience! Later, after the projector and screen were mounted and calibrated, I was truly blown away by the sharpness, brightness, color accuracy, contrast and 3-D effect of this projector. Even with the unit parked on the ceiling over my head, the fan noise is not objectionable, although it is audible during very quiet scenes. Using the DVI input for my Denon DVD-2910 DVD player and the BNC progressive inputs for HDTV, the picture is sharp, bright, smooth and film-like, with excellent black levels in a darkened room. High-quality DVDs (e.g., Star Wars trilogy, Fifth Element, Van Helsing, I Robot) are rendered with a quality and realism that rivals all but a few public cinemas in my city. At less than $4,000, I could not be more pleased with my purchase. |
