My new problem is this is so dang tempting, great reviews, half the price of TV even when you add in a screen....just have to figure out how high to mount it etc and get it aligned up between two ceiling fans....and an IR repeater...

Jesus, why is that so cheap?

My BenQ W1070 is listing for $699 and it's an amazing projector.

I say go for it man. You won't regret it.

I was blown away by how cheap some 1080P projectors were!

Your benQ how is it on bright days? 1080P actually comparable to a screen and bluray player?

[diablo rojo]

It's very bright during the day.

Blu-ray looks vivid and bright.
UVerse is bright.
PC is dimmer, but likely due to a setting in the pc itself.

I've never had a problem with fan noise. We use it everyday, have just under 2500 lamp hours in 1 year. It's a champ.

Can you actually tell its 1080P, like how 1080P is just on a regular led? awkwardly clear...

[diablo rojo]

On Blu-ray, yes. UVerse is pretty damn close.

[zachary]

would you mind taking some pictures with normal lighting, like living room lights on and watching...?

[CWO]

as much as I love my projector, I would never consider it as a daily display

[diablo rojo]

This room actually has quite a bit of ambient light. My camera is flushing it out.

[CWO]

does that room have windows?

[diablo rojo]

They're actually behind the screen. Other than that, no.

Projection is all about the screen. My SI screen looks just as good as a plasma. It's like any tv though if direct sunlight hits it, it will wash out some. Even then still watchable.

With all due respect, projection is much more than just the screen.

Ambient light
lumen
throw distance
seating distance
screen

all should be considered especially if you plan on using it as a primary display
