Advantages: really easy to setup

Disadvantages: Picture quality not perfect

i bought this unit juct over ten months ago and it has changed my life.

it is the first projector i have ever owned, and it is great.

it was really easy to set up. i have an awkward shape living room, but the unit allows you to use somethig called "keystone" settings to alter the angle of the lens. this means that the unit can sit on the floor pointing up at the wall and still be a perfect rectangle. (or on the ceiling and vice versa).

the other great thing is the ability to zoom the image in an out to make it the perfect size for your wall. all in all it is very dynamic and flexible.

the lamp is good but not great. it is bright enough in daylight but is so much better when it is dark.

replacement bulbs cost around £120 which is reasonable. they last for around 2000 hours on high intensity setting, or 4000 hours on saver mode.

Summary: the perfect first projector
