I suffer from dlp rainbow effect so have to go with a lcd unit . color be not as vivid and with the lower contrast ratio video image be not as good as dlp model . `` screendoor effect '' be extremely noticable especially in white\/bright area of video . do not be fool by the advertisment that this accept component video signal -lrb- which give you the best possible image -rrb- . I purchase a vesa adapter to connect via component video to the monitor connection on the unit . it do not work . after some research , I find that you can only use Epson 's adapter to make it work which run $ 100 . now , be I go to get $ 100 worth of image gain over s-video ? i do not think so . do not buy this if you want to connect via component video . i read that Epson be the only company that do not use the standard adapter . I also receive a brand new unit with a dead pixel , which i read be pretty common for lcd projector over time but i do not expect it fresh out of the box that way .
