this past Thanksgiving , after much prayer , and beg to my wife I be finally able to complete my home theater . I have have the opportunity to try out many projector through the year , always hope one day I would find the perfect one : good contrast and resolution with multi-capability such as computer , s-video , all the way down to RCA plug-in . also it have to have huge `` bang-for-the-buck '' factor . I be not disappointed ! this projector by NEC be surprising in many way . they pack it with a cool , very simplify , remote . plus , they throw in a extra computer cable so you can plug it right in . nice . it be very light at 7lb and the brightness of the 1500 ansus lumen soak the screen to display vividly sharp detail . I have try out many film so far to test its quality : fast and the furious , Nemo , a bug life plus other . none have any problem . computer animated film sparkle on this machine . there be a fan within the projector to keep down the temp . most people decide on purchase depend on the loudness of the fan alone . gratefully , it be amazingly quiet . once you turn it off it blow in high gear for about ten seconds then its do . here be the catch : you have to want a big picture . the projector do come with a easy zoom function to control picture size , but the kicker be , with it be fifteen foot away from the screen the smallest the image can get be 6ft wide \/ 5ft tall . many may worry about dvd artifacting or pixelization at that size , but again , no worry . at 15 foot the image could easily be 10 foot across if I so choose . nice , once more . if you decide on a projector that have vivid color detail and large picture capability , even with the light on , look no further . like I say , I have test many through the year , some cost five to ten thousand dollar , you will find very little difference between they and this power pack machine . hat off to NEC . ~ sao ~
