I have low expectation , but let I tell you this thing rock , , , at 179.00 ship you can not beat it . I have samsung h30 which be a lot smaller but the touch pad control be annoying and stop work after just a week . this optoma be 3 or 4 time brighter and 800x600 set with my netbook look great , color be way better than my ee pc netbook , and im just amaze how much I love this thing . but just to make sure im clear , im not use this as a hometheater type thing , just to view photo on a wall -lrb- artist here -rrb- but it be great at that , so I can not see why video will be any different . flesh tone be accurate and contrast be definitely acceptable . do not hesitate , amazon have the best price on this lil wonder , and you have 30 day to return it of you be not happy with it , but trust I you will not be disappoint . cheer
