Click to enlarge. SO close

Longest lamp life available (5000 hours), if you can run in low lamp mode

• Good placement flexibility with 1.6:1 zoom and plenty of lens shift
• The quietest projector around in terms of audible noise
• Good manual, but thin on some explanations for many functions
• Good remote control
• Good price/performance, relative to other "local dealer only" home theater projectors

• Limited brightness - just below average in best mode, well below average in brightest mode
• Physical styling is very plain (for those who care)
• Good menu structure, but nothing spectacular
• In most cases not bright enough for larger screens (over 110 inch diagonal)
• More user memory modes would be a plus
