after my son -lrb- accidentally -rrb- break 2 50 '' plasma tv 's I start seriously look into projection as a alternative to those easily breakable screen . because of the loss I take on those 2 tv 's I be not willing to spend a great deal of money so I be cautiously optimistic when I come across this projector . we have have it about a month now and I have to say that I be surprisingly please with it . the picture quality be really good , even during the middle of the day . I would say it rival my previous plasma tv 's . it only have 1 hdmus output so we buy a `` switch '' to accommodate the cable and the blu ray . the sound be fine when we be just watch regular tv but when we be watch a movie on the blu ray the volume get really low for some reason so we be look into a sound system to take care of that . we have the WII hook up to it as well and again , the volume be low , but the kid can play WII and have fun and I do not have to worry about any remote fly thru the screen . for any family with small child I would definitely recommend look into projection as a alternative to tip toe around a flat screen tv and this be a great budget friendly projector to consider !
