I have be run my ep719 as a third monitor and\/or tv for near 2 month now and be quite pleased with its performance to date . it do not balk at extended gaming session or movie marathon , and the resolution be high enough to still see detail . it perform admirably with game such as Halo 3 , the Unreal Tournament 3 demo , and Hellgate : London . the color become a little wash out when my room light be on , or the window shades be open , but the screen be still easily visible -lrb- and playable , for gamer -rrb- . but in a darkened room , it work wonder . the only thing keep it from a 5 out of 5 be the visibility of color wheel artifact -lrb- rainbow effect -rrb- when display highly contrast area -lrb- ie : power line run across a open sky in a move shot - the dark line and immediate area waver with shimmering color -rrb- . but from what I have see at this point , the majority of view material do not contain high enough contrast to make this much of a issue . all in all , I be happy with the projector , and would recommend it as a basic entry-level projector for people such as myself who be new to the projector scene .
