after have this thing fire up on a 120 '' screen -lrb- as oppose to my buddy 's textured living room wall with he hd65 -rrb- and have some time to spend do a little calibrate I be blow away . I purchase this instead of the Epson 8100 -lrb- finance constraint -rrb- , but I do not feel a bit letdown after use this baby . Games , movie and tv show be incredible on the 66 and the darker the room get , the better the picture get . definitely worth the purchase price and quite frankly , you would have to be a certified lunatic to choose a television over this when you take the price and performance into consideration -lrb- even factor in the negligible replacement cost of a optoma light bulb -rrb- . I really do not see myself ever go back to normal tv as anything but a secondary viewer . use a hd projector be the only true way to do home theater right . setup be a breeze and I buy everything on Amazon through various seller and pay WAY less than I would have anywhere else . for the full price of the setup and ceiling mount this thing I would be lucky to grab a tv over 50 '' -lrb- exclude dlp 's -rrb- . every single one of my friend and family member -lrb- especially my wife ... the ultimate skeptic -rrb- be extremely impressed . the only real problem I have now be keep all of they at bay long enough to watch something of mine ! as for performance tidbit ? resolution be very clear for a 720p model and I have keep all my item scale up to 1080p and let the hd66 's onboard downscaler do the work as I feel that look the sharpest . even when I do this I be still able to play my xbox 360 with no noticeable lag and it look beautiful . my Samsung Blu-Ray Player and my hdmi-capable htpc also look phenomenal -lrb- I highly recommend use Windows Media Center and one of its custom frontend like Media Browser as they look marvelous on a screen this large -rrb- . screen door effect be at a minimum if the machine be calibrate halfway decent and if you be sit at a adequate distance from the screen . I do not suffer from RBE so I have yet to see a rainbow -lrb- hopefully I never do -rrb- and I have already watch hour of various content from live-action movie to game to sport , etc. . the menu system be easy to navigate and the focus and zoom offset be great -lrb- but offer the limited placement flexibility consistent with other dlp model of its ilk -rrb- . the remote be not backlit , but once the room be darken , I still have no problem see the necessary key to press -lrb- I be also not one of those remote control stickler , so go figure -rrb- . calibration prove easy enough and a quick Google search will yield several reviewer site with easy setting to try out . the unit itself be very light and be a breeze to install . overall , a solid purchase and I feel I get the better end of the deal for the type of home theater I now have . I have not test out the 3d capability yet as I do not have enough for the active shutter glass -lrb- but that be what I be hope to get for my birthday -- hope my wife read this ! -rrb- . it be nice to know that optoma be now offer firmware upgrade to deal with Nvidia driver properly and that they may be ready for 3d blu-ray by year 's end -lrb- accord to some scuttlebutt I have read on a few tech message board -rrb- , this way , if I do eventually decide to make 3d a priority , I can go that route without too much fuss . I guess all that be leave for I now be to upgrade my a\/v receiver -lrb- hopefully sooner than later -rrb- and buy a few pair of those fancy 3-d glass . until then ? I be a very happy camper .
