I spent considerable time comparing projectors and arrived at this one. The reason I bought this projector over a TV is because I move often and wanted large screen quality with portability. I read a comment, and I agree, that projectors in the personal price range will never equal HD TVs in terms of overall quality, and bought this expecting such.
The reason I chose this projector was because of the portability and the brightness. As a DLP it is naturally much lighter compared LCD counterparts, and the brightness is needed due to predicted use in lighted rooms. It is very light and I was able to easily carry it in my backpack although it is a little bulky. The brightness is not as satisfying as I thought but it is still easily visible in medium ambient light situations.
Also worth noting is that compared to several other projectors in this category I did not find many angry customers with serious short term or long term problems with this projector.
Pros: Easy setup (connected HDMI cable to my PC and it recognized it without any assistance (os: vista)), easy interface, sliding lens cover, nice adjustable height bar, plenty of various inputs, very quiet (I sit immediately next to it to watch movies and don't notice it)
Cons: Came with only component cables (but I expected this and bought my own hdmi cables), only 1 HDMI and 1 DVI port, not as bright as I hoped, no quick-key on remote or body for volume
Note: Super-ultra-bright remote (I cannot stress enough how bright this thing gets when in use, you can probably use it as a flashlight) but do not see this as pro or con
Overall experience: I use this projector mainly for gaming with my xbox360 and movies with my PC and have been very happy with the quality on each.
