Advantages: Feature set, connectivity, brightness

Disadvantages: Cool down period

I have been teaching using one of these for nearly a year now and I have been very pleased with it. The brightness and clarity that this projector produces are such that I often forget to turn off the lights when using it. Very impressive. This machine has all the features you would expect, a good remote control with easy access to all features, a warning when you turn off to ensure that you don't do so accidentally and all the inputs I ever need in the classroom including:

PS2, USB, S Video, Audio, Component Audio and VGA.

It also has onboard sound which can be useful along with easily accessible volume and mute controls. The keystone function works well and levels itself very quickly while the manual focus is a breeze to use with fine tuning achieved simply. Replacement bulbs are not too expensive, however the supplied bulb has lasted the machine 3 years! If I had a complaint it is the cool down period between turning off and back on, but this is rarely an issue.

Summary: Great workhorse of a projector
