Highly recommended. It has a real short throw, in that you can put it nearly next to the screen and it fills the whole thing. Haven’t had time to play with it but it seems to be an excellent projector.

I bought this projector in order to use it with the N’vidia 3D vision glasses and play my games in 3D.
I have already owned 2 Epson LCD Projectors and this is the first time I am using DLP.
The installation was easy to plug to the PC, the build quality looks good and the specs are excellent for this price range.
Then I turned it on and my first surprise after placing it at the same location than the previous was that I was projecting on the ceiling and with a huge size. Mind you, the Epson projectors have already a very short throw angle but this one bits it by a lot. I ended up placing it on the floor at about 6 feet from the wall I project on and the size of the screen is of about 15feet in diagonal.
The lighting was excellent at 60Hz but started dimming seriously when switched to 120Hz. Another thing is that I had to go to the native resolution of 1024×768 in order to be able to use the refresh rate of 120Hz.
Then the bad part… Running the N’vidia 3D software, it did not recognize the projector as 3D ready. It is actually not on the list of supported projectors yet. I should have checked this before buying.
Another thing is that the quality of the image seems good for Windows environment but for the movies and games it is not that good. I may have to tweak the parameters a lot to get the quality I had with the previous one.
In clear:
Pros:
Well built, lamp life of about 6000 hours, extremely short throw angle and very good lighting at 60Hz.
Cons:
Not yet 3D compatible, Placement of the projector can be tricky (on the floor?), quality image inferior to older LCD models like Epson. It seems I can’t get my lens to give me a crisp image, there still some imprecision in the image.
Conclusion:
Good projector for people who have a short space for projection, do not need 3D yet and can’t have a dark room to use for projection. Parameters tweaking may be necessary to get the best image for gaming and movies.
