this be the 3rd video projector I have own . the 1st be a Dell VGA . need to upgrade to hd so get a optoma 720p . after 5 year it die so I need another . the natural progression be to go to 1080p , but then I find this gem . it be 720p , but when I compare it side-by-side with a 1080p projector , the difference in image quality be subtle , and the 1080p projector cost twice as much as this -lrb- and that be a bargain for 1080p -rrb- . besides price , here be the other advantage of this projector : 1 . 3d . combine this with a 3d blu-ray player -lrb- my Panasonic be very well price -rrb- , View Sonic 3D HD Video Processor -lrb- vp3d1 -rrb- and some dlp 3d glass , and you have get sweet 3d movie without any special setup . 2 . size\/weight . this be mean to be portable . I do not intend to move mine , but for some people that might come in handy . it probably weigh half as much as my old optoma and the 1080p projector I compare it to , and be probably half the size as well . make it much easier to mount on the ceiling -lrb- easily do with no 2nd person help to steady it -rrb- . 3 . Color . most people mount they projector on a wall or ceiling . most people do not have black wall or ceiling , so black or similarly dark projector be kind of a eyesore . combine with its small size , the white color help conceal it so that it do not dominate a room . some other thing I like : 1 . come with a nice black nylon canvas carry case -lrb- again , very portable -rrb- . 2 . the small remote slide into the projector , make it easy to keep the 2 together if you be carry it somewhere . you do need to make sure you do not lose it , or program a universal remote to control the projector , because there be not any button on the projector -lrb- since the remote become part of the projector when you slide into place -rrb- . 3 . quite bright . I would think that the smaller package would mean less light output , but no. . brighter than my old optoma that be twice the size , and just as bright as the much pricier 1080p projector I compare it to . 4 . Automatic keystoning be impressive . you can set it at just about any angle and it will keep the picture a perfect rectangle . it be throw distance be a bit longer than the optoma I have , but not bad at all . check this website to find out precisely how big the image be for a give distance : -lrb- ... -rrb- I be a loyal Amazon Prime member , but since this be not eligible for Amazon Prime , you can get this from Walmart.com for the same low price , ship cost be very low -lrb- free to you local store -rrb- , and you have 3 month to return it if you do not like it . awesome projector .
