Rating + 5 Nice


Pros: Compact size and intense imaging. Turned on economy mode and it barely dimmed from normal.

Cons: Focusing is a little weird in that there is always a small part of the image that is slightly out of focus. Tried varying angles of project to screen to compensate but to no avail so far.

Other Thoughts: Newegg rocks!

Rating + 5 Great DLP


Pros: Fabulous picture. Quiet fan compared to others. Bigger picture at close range than most others.

Cons: Would have liked to seen a HDMI or DVI connection, but for my business computer projection needs, this really is nice.

Rating + 5 WOW


Pros: If your checking out this projector, just buy it. Playing Casino Royale on a screen measured in feet instead of inches is pricesless. Also BF2 looks great.

Cons: It does not make popcorn.

Other Thoughts: None that I can think of.

Rating + 5 It seems okay


Pros: I think it is a lot of bang for your buck.

Cons: I haven't had any yet other than it takes forever to shut down... but then maybe that's how others behave too

Rating + 5 Very Nice Projector


Pros: Projector works nice, easy to use controls and very quiet. People have remarked how nice the images are being projected, especially in low light situations.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: The screen and projector mount arrived in less than 2 weeks after I got the projector, a nice addition.

Rating + 5 Awesome Projector


Pros: This is a very good model. If you want to be able to use a projector with your lights on, don't go any lower on ViewSonic scale of these projectors. The jump from 2000 lumens SVGA to this 2500 lumens XGA is night and day. I believe this is the best bang for your buck. Has a good keystone feature, which sometimes can be more trouble than it needs to be on other projectors, but not on this guy. It's very compact, and very easy to mount. Plus when I bought it, free screen universal mount and 80" projector screen. How can you beat that?

Cons: No real cons, just nags. I wish it had a digital zoom feature, as well as DVI-D.

Other Thoughts: Wonderful projector. Actually running this on Economy mode (the extra 1000 hours makes a difference come time to replace a lamp, so trust me...run it in Econ. mode if you can get by) and it still looks good. Serves purpose for our worship building at church. NewEgg is awesome; UPS on the other hand made me worried when I received my boxes. I think Donkey Kong loads these boxes from truck to truck.

Rating + 5 Great Projector.


Pros: Awesome Brightness. I bought this for our office because we needed to be able to have meetings without turning the lights out in the conference room. This projector takes care of that easily, even when running in economy mode. Couldn't have bought a better projector for the price. I've taken it home on the weekends to use my XBOX 360 in 1080i, It looks amazing as well. I simply project onto a flat white wall at home and get an awsome 25ft HDTV. Buy that for under a thousand bucks. Highly recommended.

Cons: Bulbs are expensive and harder to find than I would like. The bulb lasts about 3000 hours in Econo mode, and that is a long time, but when it does go, expect to pay a third of the projector price for a replacment.

Rating + 5 Great First Projector


Pros: 720P, Very Bright, i use this with a htpc. had to use eco mode to stop hurting my eyes in bright scenes. eazy to set up, dont hear fan when watching or playing games. can be use with lights on in the room.

Cons: very pricy replacement bulbs, to use high in the back of a room must be mounted upside down (all projectors without shiftlens are like this.) no dvi port on the projector. 3 foot power cord.

Other Thoughts: all in all, i have to say that im very glad to have this for movies and games. i have the give this product a 5 for the simple reason that any hd tv close to 9 feet in size is still on the draw board. be warned that friend and famly will start showing up at your house to watch movies.
