Previously tried the Optima GT1080 and couldn't get the picture right. The close mounting was great, but there wasn't a way to fine-tune the picture (i.e. stretch corners). The ViewSonic has an amazing picture, amazing features and levels of adjustment, and is very bright.

I was trying to replace my 720p short throw gaming projector with a reasonably priced machine which could play blu-Ray. After much research I chose this because of the variety of number of video inputs. This is one of the few to handle all old technology (as well as HDMI) for those who still have laser disc players and VCRs while having reasonable short thrown distance of about 6 feet on coffee table to nearly fill 8 foot screen. Picture is crisp and bright. I like that if it is not playing a video it turns itself off.

I love to watch movies and this projector is perfect for it. I use a 120" screen and the the picture is bright and sharp. I also like to watch 3D movies so I bought a blu ray player and some active 3D glasses. The glasses synced up with this projector easily and the picture was awesome. I am very happy with this purchase.

Great picture, super bright. Very lightweight making it great for meetings!

Solid piece of equipment that surpassed expectations for use in a classroom setting.
