Personal Experience
After more than 2700 hours on mine I thought it would deserve a review. This was my first PJ (now replaced by a Hitachi HD-PJ52) and all I have to say is it was a GREAT projector for its time. DVDs look superb on it (but of course do not expect CRT/DLP blacks!). Blacks can be improved a lot if using an FL-D filter over the lens and a gray screen. After so many hours I can notice the lamp is not as bright as before but I am sure if I replace it picture will improve a lot, back to the way it was when I got it.
HD looks great on it as well. Same thing for XBox in high definition. Even regular cable is decent. For sure this was the best bang for the buck ever on PJs with native 16:9 (important if you watch mostly widescreen DVDs and HD) resolutions.
Very quiet as others posted and extremely small.
 
Problems
Just had to replace the blue polarizer after 1300 hours. Did it myself and paid only $85 for the polarizer, ordered directly from PASC.
