I bought this to hook up the Xbox 360 and to watch DVDs on. Watching Dvds the size of my huge wall 8ft high and 12ft wide is awesome. Playing the Xbox 360, is awesome as well, with the huge areas when playing cooperative and mulitplayer. However gameplay is slightly fuzzy when your character is shooting long distances, the detail just isn't there as was with the Hi Def t.v.. But still a great buy. Take my advice and buy the ceiling mount for it. I ended up propping it up on a large step ladder, After kicking myself for not buying the mount. This projector is capable of hanging upside down.

This projector was needed to project video/slide show images on a stage screen in theater production. It had to front- or rear-project and be easy to use, because kids run tech on most of our shows. It had to be flexible and portable and projected cleanly in a variety of different environments. In the 1st show it rear-mounted 10' from a hi-threadcount flat king-sized bed sheet screen and created a 6'x7' image that could be seen clearly 100' away and 70 degree viewing angle. It allows you to choose the projection mode (rear, front, top-mount, normal-mount).

Problems:
Spare/replacement bulbs cost nearly half the whole projector!
Remote (very small) only works from the FRONT of projector and then only a few feet away - nearly impossible/impractical on rear-projection.
I had difficulty fine tuning the resolution for a close-up view, which made it hard to read the setup screen from close-up, though it was quite clear from 20' away, and the setup screen was very hard to read in rear-projection or top-mount modes.
Overall, it was a good, solid projector for the price and worth it for most normal projection needs.

It was a little bit bigger than what I expected, but beyond that it is a great product. Great image quality. You can do presentations with 100% ambient light in the room and watch movies with 30-40% ambient light, which for me works perfectly. I can pack it in the same bag as my laptop, so it is very portable, just what I was looking for. There are smaller projectors, but they are no way near in image quality as this one. Great price too!! I got it for $600 with shipping.

My only negative comment about this unit is the remote- it does not work half the time. I end up having to turn it off and on at the unit itself.
