Pros: Very bright! I am using it for my xbox360,cpu and as a tv in my media room. It will also be used for outdoor parties, and football games! It works good with lights on, the room it is currently in is 18x22 with 4 4ft fluorescent lights and even with the lights on you can still see what is on the screen! With the lights out... it is stunning

Cons: takes a little while to shutdown, and doesn't come with any printed manuals, it is all on cd

Overall Review: I believe that the 2500lumens may be slightly exagerrated but none the less it works great for the money I would buy again!
