Fantastic projector we have it projected on wall 108 across and it looks stunning. The 4000 lumens is incredibly bright and the picture does not degrade when the blinds are open during the day. We got this projector to replace a viewsonic pj1165 that did not have a hdmi connection. Very happy only disappointment is that the Roku is not compatible with projectors.

By far the best projector I have ever owned or used, in every respect. Produces a beautiful, perfectly sharp, brilliant image. Love the adjustability of the throw length of the lens. It means I can correct for the distance between the projector and the screen to some degree, and not have the image limited by the space of the room I am in. Do yourself a favor, if you don't buy this projector, buy one that has an adjustable image throw length on the lens. You will thank me when you are trying to squeeze your projector into the exact space you want it and the distance you want it from the screen it's pointing at, especially if you have space limitations/are in a fixed room and want things to be exactly certain places.

The ONLY problem I have ever had with it is that while it has the capability to output HDMI audio to my older, analog audio speakers. I can't seem to get it to work all the time. It works great with my PC, but, for instance, my PS3 has no mini jack audio out, only the newer optical output and older RCA outputs. I could take the audio off the RCA jacks, use an adapter to convert that to mini, and tell the PS3 to output the audio to both HDMI and RCA, however, I don't want to go to all that hassle. When I connect my computer to the projector, with the very same HDMI cable, and plug in my sound system to the analog output audio jack, I have no problem. The audio system is a very high quality Bose 2.1 speaker system with USB and mini jack ports. It will work even without a USB connection, only analog, and vise-versa. Very well designed. Has a built in amp with adjustable volume. It's amazing tiny little speakers can fill a huge room, and even outdoors, with booming top notch quality sound. When I have the PS3 connected to the projector via HDMI, I get no audio signal. Perhaps it's just a limitation of the PS3 itself and no fault of the projector. I wonder, is it sending the audio signal in some different way?! Isn't an HDMI audio signal always the same format? Since the projector has 2 HDMI ports, I tried fiddling with swapping my PC output and PS3 output between the two HDMI inputs on the projector. Always the same result. Perfect audio from the PC, No audio from the PS3. What perplexes me even more, is I had the system working prior, with the PS3 audio streaming out the analog port on the projector to my sound system. Not sure what setting I changed to mess that up. Perhaps I should bite the bullet and just buy a digital sound system to go with the projector, that would solve all my problems I think. Anyone else have any constructive feedback to this issue?
