This review is probably more a complementary one to my already published HD Universe list-mainia piece. OK lets walk down the path again of what i wanted to do:

1. i made my decision on the DVD Wars format
2. I bought a high end Pioneer 24fps Bluray player
3. I am not planning on a big surround system except for a yamaha single closure system (which i wil connect directly to pioneer optical output)
4. The final piece was the actual eye candy!

I was doing allot of digging around with LCD vs Plasma vs SXRD vs LCOS from JVC and honestly when my brother in law pointed me in this direction, it was like a big slap on the face!!! when i saw this Powerlite in action i was instantly blown away.

I was made aware that in fact for me the cinematic true experience was in the size of the screen in addition to the actual Pixels being projected! i very much dumped the idea of a traditional windscreen box to watch my movies and opted for this gorgeous projector.

It was especially sweet because the store that carried this had no idea of what HD means! it was in a stock pile marked down in price too. i had no choice but to run home and grab my apple tv (loaded with some HD material) and test this puppy with HDMI hookup.

The contents were amazing and since apple TV shoots maximum at 720p, it was a match made in heaven. I didn't really cared for 1080p vs 720p anymore. All that mattered now was 103' diagonal view of actual 1 megapixel movie being projected on my white wall! Best part is all that eye candy from a Bluray 24fps player with digital optical for audio.

guys all i can say this piece is the ultimate in any HD mega setup.

The projector was represented as a Epson Home Cinema 400. What arrived was a Epson EMP TW 550 which was a slightly inferior model. The projector is still a really good projector with a great picture but I am disappointed that is was misrepresented.

Great Product. It's hi-def picture is incredible. It's a little bulky, but its projected picture is wll worth it. It's so bright, no screen is needed. Just a painted wall works fine. And it was delivered a week AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
