Personal Experience
I got this projector 2 days ago for $400 US after rebate. For that amount of money, it was worth it. That being said, my wife thinks its just fine.

However, I can definately see the screendoor effect quite often when I was viewing DVDs on it. Dont get me wrong, for $400 to $900, I think this is an ok projector, however, I'm willing to pay more because the picture looks slightly fuzzy at times (almost VHS quality) at times for movies like 'Joe Dirt' which I've played on my Panasonic 42" plasma and it looks extremely clear.
Some scenes look very sharp w/ this proj and some you definately see some banding on the sides of the screen and the screendoor. I previously owned the Dell 2200 MP and that POS was rainbow city. I'm returning this and getting the Sanyo PLV-Z3 (for $1700).

I watched Matrix Reloaded on the Epson S1 and it felt like I was watching it on a 1970s tv at times. I demand more clarity. Overall though, if you want an average, ok projector this one is ok, its just not knock your socks off or great.
