| A solid impressive image for home theater on a budget. I've had several older projection units i've used in the past. This blows them away by far, The high contrast ratio really gives this definition, It's litterally like having a 8 foot plazma on my wall, for a fraction of the cost. Well, not that impressive, but i'd say it gives as bright and detailed an image as my regular 36 tv. S-video looks superb, DVI in high definition is stunning. This makes for an excellent budget home theater projector if your getting started. It's rated at 2000 lumans, which many say is too bright for HT, but i strongly disagree, but actually once you make your tweaking adjustments and eco mode, it's probobly half that anyways. With eco mode off and white balance lifted, the image can be viewed in daytime, just not direct sunlight. With a current street/net price of a flat grand, I'd say if you can grab one refurbed or auctioned for under 7, absolutely dont hesitate. A grand might be pushing it, at least for HT, for a educated budget minded consumer. With high resolution, high contrast, and high luman, what else could you want. |

| Problems |
| With only a 2x wheel speed, and 4 segment color wheel, sensitive eyes may notice slight rainbows when eye shifting across the screen. Most dont notice it, I guess it's a few percentage that can. Thats effected by the wheel speed. A 3x or more is more preferred for better HT ratings, and the eye wont notice any rainbows in eye shifting. And with a limited 4 segment color wheel, white tones are limited, along with other slight hues. Nothing noticable at all, unless your directly viewing it next to a regular monitor, then you notice minor color hue differences. It's limits of full spectrum white does create some minor problems if watching very bright movies at times, but can easily be trimmed down with your contrast and tweaking, but with doing so unfortunately you loose some brilliance. These are minor issues that only a few would notice, everyone who has seen my setup has been extremely impressed, it really displays an eye popping home theater video. If your looking at buying new and limited to a budget, this will blow away many of the other brands priced in this range. Shop around and get your moneys worth. |
