my family buy this projector for Christmas of 2009 and we absolutely love it ! we have all of we entertainment device hook up to it include we dvd , hd Cable television , game console , and even my wife 's HTC - EVO phone have play through it via HDMI cable ; it have become a true entertainment center . we have host BSU football party at we house -lrb- blue and Orange have never look better -rrb- , the kid love to play the Wii on the HUGE screen , and the money we have save not have to go to the theater have pay for the projector many time over . the image be good enough to watch in a daylight light room , yet really pop at night ! the contrast ratio be a little low , yet for the price of the machine it do not bother I . one downside be that although the lifespan of the bulb be rate for 4000-5000 hour , we have have two bulb so far that have not go past much more than 1000hr . though this have be disappointing , Epson have really come through on they customer service in replace the bulb , twice , at no cost to I and receive it within a week of call customer support ; great job Epson ! what persuade I to initially buy a Epson projector be the price for what you get , and the great online review . what keep I as a customer be the phenomenal customer service Epson have provide thus far . I would -lrb- and already have -rrb- recommend this projector to anyone look for one as a inexpensive yet effective way to setup a great home entertainment system .
