Pros: I researched long and hard before deciding on this projector. I decided on a DLP in spite of the possible rainbow effect. I am in fact sensitive the rainbow effect but my husband is not. I barely notice it on this projector but it does flare up occansionally. My husband never sees it. We have the projector mounted on the ceiling approx. 12 1/2 ft away from a 100" screen. The picture is fantastic and the blacks are VERY crisp..not sure why some are having issues with that. I have a panasonic blu-ray home theater and the sound goes through that. I would not recommend the speakers on the projector as they are a bit tinny but will do if you have no other choice. My family has often remarked that what we see in our own home on the projector is better than some theaters. I agree. The picture is sharp and clear and the colors vivid. I had no problems with sound syncing to the picture and it was easy to make the few adjustments needed to make viewing optimal. I highly recommend this projector but just be aware of the rainbow effect which is not noticable at all for me now.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Might have had something to put here if I had kept the case.

Cons: The case arrived with the top broken. Not sure if it was due to the poor packaging. I returned it and got a more expensive case which turned out perfectly. Newegg was great about the rma and their customer service is a ten in my book!

Overall Review: I returned this and bought a different case because my feeling was that if the top broke that easily in transit, it might not stand up to daily wear and tear when being carried by the handle.

Pros: Inexpensive, good layout, HDMI. This is only my second build and it went flawlessly. Booted right up and the drivers installed just fine. True about not having onboard video but as the others have said, no problem whatsoever. Just do your homework and get the integrated processor and you're good to go. Or you could always install a video card. I went with a clarkdale i3 and video is great.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: Before deducting an egg for something that you should already know before buying, please read and learn about what you're building.
