Advantages: Image quality + easiness of use + speed of processing

Disadvantages: None so far (after 6 months of regular use)

Do not expect to find technical data in this review - I am hopeless at that :) but I can give you an honest and genuine review from the point of view of the user.

This is our second projector at our home cinema, bought second hand from Ebay (300 GBP) about six months ago. Our first one was also not bad at all - one of the very first Sanyo projectors - sadly, the lamp has blown up, R.I.P...:)

First impression of HP - it is incredibly light and modern-looking and much smaller than Sanyo. It does not even fill up the space on a special table for the projector.
An excellent difference is the LUMENS number, that is the 'thingy' that enables you to watch films when it is not completely dark outside. In fact, we tried to watch in the day and it is OK! Obviously, it is far more better at night:)
A great thing is the lamp saver mode - as the producer states- it may save you up to half of the lamp life hours. Ours is continuously in this mode and we actually do not see the difference.
It turns on and off very quickly, the menu is clear and intuitive, does not overheat or causes any sort of trouble.

We have not tested it on games yet - our impression is that it is great for gamers, as the picture quality is very similar to those on LCD monitors - but still to be tested.

We use it sometimes every day for DVDs, music videos, DivXs and many other formats - no problems whatsoever.

Summary: Best choice and worth saving up money (but buy on Ebay!)
