(More customer reviews)I have to say, I am pretty impressed with this projector. I am using it for home use right now to replace a TV. It works great even with the lights on. I am projecting on to an off-white wall (McCormick "Eggshell" flat) and it looks fantstic. Just remember that this is a business projector.. and that being said- it can be noisy if you set it at the highest brightness level. There are 3 modes. Eco 1, 2 and Eco Off. Eco 1 is the quitest and the dimmest. I can use it just fine in this setting and it is plenty quite that I forget it is there. Eco2 is probably where most people will keep it.. and it is just fine. Even with Eco off it doesnt bother me after a bit. It has a motorized zoom and focus and a digital zoom.. these features are awesome! I dont notice any chromatic aberration, the colors are fine- for me, brightness is fantastic.. even with light coming in from outside.. it will wash out the image (I had about a 10ft screen at the time) but you can still make out what is going on... in my basement with the two lights on the image is fine.. just seems like bright sunlight can wash it out if you have big windows. For business use it is great for traveling.. it is thin- about the size of a beefy laptop- but lighter and easy to set up. Works great in the conference room even if there is some light.
I have been reading that the blue color takes 100-200 hours to come to full power.. I watched avatar a few times and they looked blue to me. I am not too picky with the colors though. Also, some people and websites have been reporting that the actuall lumen brightness is abnormally low- Casio says it is from a misaligned led or laser.. but how will an end user know for sure? I sure as heck dont know. If the one I have is supposed to be brighter I will be shocked because it is pretty bright now.. maybe mine is fine though. Also, LEDs are supposed to last like 20,000 hours but some websites are saying that they are degrading fast. If you can wait to purchase an LED/Laser hybrid projector then do it.. that way enough people use it and see how fast it craps out.
4 Stars for this projector because what I really want is everything PLUS:
A 1080p version of this projector.. make it fatter and with a quiter fan if they have to! Keep the high lumen count but have another brightness setting to make the light dimmer.. hmm.. what else.. more color settings/adjustments.. a couple quick change settings to switch between different profiles and a couple more inputs.. oh.. and audio out/passthrough.. and get rid of the onboard speaker. A backlight controller or at least glow-in-the-dark text. I think if they did come out with a 1080p version and they got rid of the brightness I wouldnt get it.
I can make videos in differnt light settings if anyone is interested.. I will eventually come back to this post answer any questions if you have 'em.
