this be the first home projector I have buy for use in my house . have a 47 '' sharp aquos lcd and want the opportunity for a `` bigger '' experience . buy a favus 100 '' diagonal electric screen and the 705hd . I run a home theater pc , Wii , sony blu-ray and cable box through a Denon avr-888 . these be split to either the tv or projector . the projector be great for play game , even with the light on . it be worth every penny , especially in a brightly light room -lrb- or one with a lot of window -rrb- . the kid love it and we have all kind of tournament -lrb- sport game , madden football , etc. -rrb- when they friend come over . for movies\/cable , it take some adjustment to get this thing right . it be really bright by default -lrb- great for bright room -rrb- but this do not help black level -lrb- the screen I buy also have some gain to it -rrb- . after adjust the display mode and then tweaking the color setting , the picture be very good . I will not rate it as excellent overall -lrb- my sharp still look a bit better with blu-ray -rrb- but for the price\/value factor , it can not be beat . watch movie on a 100 '' screen be outstanding . my total cost for put this together be $ 770 for electric screen and projector . with a little bit of adjustment , this projector be excellent . I be not a hd snob or anything like that . I enjoy entertainment that work at a reasonable cost . hence , I buy the 705hd and it have not disappointed I at all . plus I do not have to worry about DLP color wheel problem , etc. . for those of we in the real world on a budget , this be a great bargain . highly recommend it
