Great color, brightness, and clarity are features of an LCD projector
Pros: Design, warranty, bulb life, quietness, color, clarity, brightness, and best of all price.
Cons: Some will notice a mild screen door effect that is associated with LCD
Review: This projector will bring wonderful competition to the home theater market. If the main concept is for watching movies than I believe that most people
will be satisfied. Of course you can spend more, and get greater features
and resolutions, but if you need to be budget conscious, and this is only
one part of the home theater that you are putting together, than this will
open the door for many who have aspirations for their own home theaters.
Great color, brightness, and clarity are features of an LCD projector and
while some will notice a mild screen door effect that is associated with
LCD, backing away from the screen will minimize this inconvenience. This
is the lowest priced projector currently on the market that I am familiar with. It is also from a major LCD maker with the longest warranty in the business both for the projector (3 years and 1 year on the bulb.) Having greater
overall brightness than DLP projectors with the same lumenance this
projector can be used in whisper mode and extend the lamp to 4000 hours.
We actually preferred the whisper mode for overall brightness and believed
this was designed to extend the bulb life, while maintaining proper
illumination. Anyone who has a home theater will love the quiet sound of
this projector in whisper mode, as it will not be a menace to your surround
sound system. This projector is also very light weight for a LCD and makes
it very portable. I have to say that it appears, to be a well thought out
design and a great buy and warranty for the entry level Home Theater
projector. I would recommend this projector for design, warranty, bulb life,
quietness, color, clarity, brightness, and best of all price.
