    This is a great projector for the price. This projector creates a a wonderfully clear and bright picture at over 12 feet away, at 92". If you're looking for a great theater experience at a fraction of the cost of some of the other options this is it. At 1920x1200 resolution, 3200 lumins, and DLP, this projector is awesome fun!

    Really Bright Picture

    This projector provides a really bright picture on our wall-painted screen (5 foot by 7 foot) even in daylight or with lights on at night. My only criticism is the tiny remote control, which has to be pointed directly at the front of the projector in order for it to power the projector on or off -- this is a little difficult when the projector is ceiling mounted the right way up (not upside down).

    I've had this projector for about a year and I'm totally satisfied. We use it every day. I would easily recommend it to a friend, but this is also my first and only projector, so I don't have much to compare this experience to. Here are some of the 'faults' of this projector that I might expect to see improvement from a more expensive model: * The remote is super weak and cheap. I don't even use it. I push the buttons on the device itself so I don't have to struggle with it. * The device blows out a lot of hot air. It'll heat a room. * Because of all the heat, the fan makes a lot of noise. I just pump up the volume on our sound bar to drown out the noise. * There is only 1 hdmi in, so I have to unplug stuff when I want to use different devices (which is fortunately rare for us). I bought one of those hdmi switchers so I could plug more stuff in, but it really didn't work well. It confused the unit. If none of those things bother you, buy it!

    I am an elementary school teacher - which explains why I didn't buy the top of the line projector - but I am pleased and happy with this machine. The image quality is not the most crisp, but it does the job, and the HDMI connection makes plugging and unplugging to move from room to room a breeze. 3D? I can't really imagine that, but for my use, it's fine.

    I bought a backyard blow up screen for the family and I didn't want to break the bank on a projector that I'm not going to use on daily basis. I found this one and I figured I'll give a try. I hooked up a ps3 to watch movies and hooked up a sound bar. The picture was great even before sun down. The speaker on the projector isn't that loud but that's to be expected.

    After reviewing this on Amazon I tried several times to purchase it from them it was NOT available. So I went to my local Best Buy and of course they had it in stock, the sales person was kind enough to show me how it worked since I was going to use is out in the field they showed me all the attachments and everything I would need for quick hook up. Great picture and easy to use .

    For the price this projector is a good deal. Simple setup and bright. No complaints so far, it's used for presentations and video for business. Does not come with a case for transport, but we have it ceiling mounted in a conference room.

    Great Price on a Solid Projector - Kids are Happy

    We bought this as a inexpensive and versatile alternative for a "gaming" TV for our kid's XBOX (kids aged 16 & 14). They absolutely love it -- their friends are very jealous. The image colors, sharpness, and response is excellent. The native resolution for this projector is not as high as I would like, but for the money it is very good. You would have to spend a lot more for the native resolution I really wanted. I am happy with what it does. We are going to ceiling mount it and project onto a wall-mounted pull-down screen -- no TV hanging on a wall in a somewhat smallish room. I haven't tried the 3D capability -- it looks like it works, but you need to purchase DLP synchronized "active" 3D glasses. Our 3D TV is an LG that uses "passive" 3D glasses, so I can't say anything about how good it looks in 3D. The added benefit is the versatility we now have with a projector for those occasions when we want to do an outside movie or need to do some projecting for a Scout or School presentation.

    Know the minimum distance for operation

    I didn’t see this listed on the specifications and since I got it on line I didn’t talk to a BestBuy representative to know that this is a critical requirement. The bottom line is you need about 26-27 feet to get a good projection and my media room is 17 by 25. So the picture was always a little fuzzy. For the one time I used it, it seemed to be a good product. It is more for an outside environment where you have lots of distance and not so much for a media room. Best Buy took it back with no problem.

    Was looking for a projector in the $300 price range and this one more than suits our needs. We were looking for something to watch movies both inside and out. The picture quality is great and it's easy to setup and hook up our own speak system for better sound quality.

    Bought this around Christmas and it is perfect. Great quality. I use it as my main TV and it is great. I am able to project it at 120" at about 20 feet. HDMI connection is great. Really cant ask for more especially given its price.

    I have friends with $2000 projectors with a slightly better picture than this one but I would buy this one again in a heartbeat. For the money, you can't beat it. Setup and mounting is a little tricky due to there being only one Keystone adjustment. It needs to be directly centered or the picture will be a little off. Just take your time and measure correctly and you won't have a problem.

    We use this projector to give presentations on the wall of the customer locations. It easily connects to my laptop and projects a very clear, sharp picture of the laptop screen on the wall. I even used it to project a movie from my laptop.
