Rainbows

What's great about it: brightness, many menu options, easy setup, good picture
What's not so great: Rainbows
The projector is really good if one doesn't see the rainbow effect. There are many options in the menu and overall I would say its a good tv replacement or good for movies, however I have to return mine because of seeing rainbows although 2 others do not. a third person saw them like I did. so in all if you dont see rainbows this is a good projector. if you do stay away and buy an lcd. I will be returning mine after only an hour of use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Brightness and Clarity
What's not so great: Premium product, premium price
I use this only for home, so I cannot comment on its business use, but for me it's a great way to get a big picture. I especially like all the connections and the built-in speakers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Excellent Quality
What's not so great: On the expensive side
when remodeling a basebent or home entertainment system a projector is the way to go! not only is this projector HD but like many others it will allow for a connection to a game system or computer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Bright, Easy to use, nice design, lots of connectivity options, built in speaker.
What's not so great: Lack of volume control except through menu, takes a few clicks to get there. Little lens shift.
I bought this after a friend bought the hd65. This projector is MUCH brighter than the 65 and has the built in speaker. Yeah, it's only 2 watt but when you're using it on the go, it's handy to avoid having to bring computer speakers along. Would have been nice to have had volume control on the remote but I can overlook for such an otherwise well designed package. This accepts a 1080p signal, I don't know if that just means that it's upconverting but when I connect up the ps3 it says 1080p 24hz and looks amazing! We played Rock Band and watched movies on the back of my garage on a 30 ft screen and looked great even on tan vinyl siding! My neighbors couldn't stop talking about it. There are alot of reviews out there that the settings are off out of the box but I put in the digital video essentials disk and it was almost spot on as far as color, contrast, and tint. For the price, buy this one over the 65 it's much more versatile in the way of cutting through ambient light. Oh, and my buddy's hd65 lens cap melted and warped after putting it back on while hot, this has a slider cover which is very nice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price / Brightness / Performance
What's not so great: Sometimes colors / faces blend together
For the price, this is one of the brightest projectors you can buy. We have it setup about 15 feet from the wall and the picture is 120+ inches diagonal! :) Looks best when dark, but can still see during the day with curtains drawn.
My first one had a problem, but it was promptly exchanged. Get the extended warranty from Best Buy and you get a 1 time bulb replacement, that alone is worth the price of the warranty! ($250)
HD Cable, DVD (non HD) looks great on this projector. It seems to be sensitive to how things are recorded, some pictures look outstanding, and sometimes not so much. faces some times, the colors / features seem to blend together... I used a white wall for a couple weeks then bought some grey projector paint... It's not quite as bright, but helps contrast, richer colors, darker blacks & sharper lines between dark / light areas. Many settings, remote is laid out nicely...
Going through my old DVD's is like brand new on a 120" screen! Use high quality cables, they make a difference.
