Posted on February 20, 2008 By Art Feierman

One of the lower cost 1080p DLP projectors
Excellent skin tones and color after grayscale calibration
Reasonably good black level performance for an entry level 1080p projector
Extremely sharp image
Limited placement flexibility, and significant lens offset, as is typical of most lower cost DLP projectors

Three digital inputs – 2 HDMI 1.3, plus a DVI with HDCP
One year warranty
Supports 3rd party anamorphic lens for working with Cinemascope (2.35:1) shaped screens for no letter boxing on widescreen movies
Reasonably bright – 501 lumens in best (Cinema) mode after adjustments, over 700 lumens unadjusted, and 1193 lumens in brightest mode
Rich color saturation, and lots of depth to the image
