Very bright projector

Dim lighting on remote control

Set up was easy, I am about 15ft back with it on a coffee table and throwing a 106" image.

PC games, although look great on big screen the resoltion is just OK comapred to my LCD.

Very bright and sharp image in all modes but High def is amazing for a projecter of this cost.

I have to say there aren't many, maybe the fact that the fixed offset leaves you few placement options.

Very nice image right out of the box.

Lack of lens shift requires careful placement planning.

Brilliant projector.

The other review is correct about the pc viewing at 720p, but it doesn't bother me.

Beautiful image, bright, decent remote, no rainbow effect (at least for me), worked nicely with my PS3 over HDMI.

It will *NOT* correctly produce a 1:1 pixel mapping image for the PC on the VGA input at 1280x720.
