Just what you'd hope for

I chose this product because it was the cheapest xga resolution front end projector I could find. It's been great. I highly recommend it. Large plasmas only get a little better picture than this and they're much more expensive and bulky.

Sharp XR-30X

The least expensive projector, the Sharp XR-30X runs cool but at the expense of a couple of features that are missing here.

Quiet and cool operation ; Very good control panel ; Relatively inexpensive

Low brightness

The cheapest in this list, this is a good projector for the price.
