Personal Experience
This projector offers one of the finest pictures available and is an absolute brilliant value.

The only caviat is you should use a good line doubler ie: dvdo or in my case the new panasonic
S77 with built in hdmi and HD upconverter.

Standard TV is horrible without an upconverter but i can't see spending the extra money for HDTV until there are more than a handful of obscure channels.


I'm using it with a 92" 1.3 gain fotodiox white screen which cost a mere $100.00 and the picture is stunning.

Lots of brightness black blacks, clean bright whites, contract that is simply too unbelivable to describe. All this and wisper quiet to boot.

In my opinon, the one feature this projector really stand out is the horizontal and vertical lens shift. This allows you to mount the projector a full screen width to either side of the screen horizontally and 1/2 the screen vertically making it super flexible to mount and avoiding the nasty overhead projector mount in the middle of the ceiling as well as making the routing of power/signal wiring easy since you can run them along the wall.

Street prices are around $2500 I paid the extra $150 to make sure i got it from an authorized sony dealer...keep away from unauthorized dealers that offer 3rd party warranties.

If you get this projector you won't be dissapointed.
