spend a lot of time compare this and the Epson 8350 . the decision come down to color as the black finish blended in well with my black ceiling . very happy with this projector . movie theater quality picture on my 100 '' diagonal screen . no image tear , no artifact ; just pure clean image . you can hear the projector when you turn it on , but can not hear it at all when you be watch a movie . we also have we xbox 360 hook up through this projector . again ... beautiful . I highly recommend the use of a surround home theater system . between gaming and movie night , I have not be very productive since I set all of this up earlier this year .
