5.0 out of 5 stars Great Picture - Great Value, November 14, 2005

Great 2000+ lumen projector for the cost. Great color/picture quality-HDTV even better. I use it as a home theater projector with a screen size of 96" (diagonal). Bright enough for a sunny day (may washed out if you have direct sunlight coming in the room).Great contrast. Some reviewers have mentioned rainbow effects -I have yet to see. I have being using projectors in my home theater for over 4 years and this is the best (bargain) projector I have used.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Projector and I love it!!!, March 22, 2007

So, after months of searching for the right projector I decided on purchasing the EP739 for 6 reasons.

1) The Price, ($850) That's hard to beat!

2) 720p, 1080i high definition picture. I've already watched Superman Returns and Mission Impossible III in 720p and it looks incredible! I haven't seen the 1080i picture yet, but I can only imagine!

3) 2,500 lumens for a nice bright image. I have an apartment with many windows which isn't ideal for a projector, but the EP739 does just fine. Close the blinds and turn off the lights and get ready for a killer picture!

4) The inputs. S-Video, Composite (RCA), VGA and DVI connections. Some of you may be confused about the VGA input and the DVI input. Don't be, because I'm going to clear that up for you right now. First up, VGA is analog and DVI is digital. That's the important thing to know. You can purchase a component adapter for the VGA input and a HDMI adapter for the DVI input. Cool huh? So don't shy away from purchasing this projector because it doesn't have component or HDMI connections. It's an easy fix!

5) 5,000 hours lamp life!!! In all of my searching for the perfect projector, I never came across another projector with 5,000 hours of lamp life. Eco mode will dim the picture a tad, but to be honest with you, it looks fine.

6) Small and quiet. Sure there is some fan noise but it's not bad at all. A friend of mine has an older projector and while watching a movie, you had to crank the surround sound to wash out the fan noise. Not with the EP739. My projector sits 5 feet from my head, and I hardly know it's there. And the size of this thing is small. It's hard to believe that such a small machine can produce a 25 foot picture!!!

$2,000 - $3,000 for a 42" plasma or $850 for a theater like picture... That's a no brainer for me!!!

Excellent piece of kit. Great picture and when linked to a sound sytem plus a HUGE 7'X 5' screen then this is better than the movies. Rainbows......... not yet, only problem seems to be finding a replacement bulb when present one goes POP.
