Price is great! So is the lower power consumption, quiet operation and long bulb life.
Not too many options pretty basic. Hooked it up my surround sound system and played a dvd on it worked well although the sound isn't built for any large rooms hence the surround sound system I used made it good. Picture quality is in fact dull but there is no control to brighten up the picture, as i said there aren't many options or features. The picture is ok it has like this dot look to it but not too bad i enjoyed the movie on it and would use it to watch most movies to get that theater type of look even if its not exactly like the theater.
Overall - I think you are getting what you paid for...it is easy to use small and compact but with that you dont get many options and cant expect it run like a bigger model. The price is low and so is the quality of the picture but for what its worth Id give it 4 out of 5. Enjoy!
