1080p resolution. Sharp text. Can project 3D content from Blu-ray players. Lightweight. Three-year warranty.

Subpar video with significant rainbow effect. Image quality suffers over a VGA connection. Weak audio.

If you don't show images with the small text or intricate detail that requires 1080p resolution, you might be better off with a WXGA data projector such as the Editors' Choice Epson PowerLite 955W WXGA 3LCD Projector. This 3,000-lumen projector showed...

Excellent brightness - measured a maximum of over 3500 lumens ; More than enough brightness at max to handle very large rooms, and handle even 10 foot screens with pretty good color for commercial applications ; Two computer inputs, and a monitor out...

Tabletop setup would be easier if both rear feet were adjustable ; Remote control is not backlit ; Black levels are pretty entry level as a home projector ; On the home side: Lacks CFI for smooth motion (rare on entry level projectors) ; Very...

Great picture while it worked. Price

Noisy Purchased 12/02/2015 Stopped working Today the Super Bowl 2/7/16

Good price, got it onsale and i'm very pleased Friend of mine used it with his PS4 and is now selling his 65 inch tv for one of these (says ALOT) i've done 100 inch on a wall and it looked great even with the lights on in the room built in speaker...

None so far

I attached this to the wall behind my bed's headboard and project it on the ceiling. It allows me to watch TV without the strenuous work of sitting on a couch or sitting up in bed. It works well for this purpose, especially since I only watch it at...

There are no cons that I can think of. The speaker is certainly not designed to give a theatrical experience, so you will want to have external amp/speakers if you want to watch lots of media. The built in speaker is usable, however.

The screen is bright and easily visible in a brightly lit room. We were projecting on a beige painted wall for a few months and it was fine; finally installed the proper dimensioned screen (100" 16:9) and it's just as clear. Many adjustments to correct...

I suppose it is not the sleekest looking box, but this is a business and we don't care. It is now hung from the ceiling so no one looks at it much anyhow
