I have a Mitsubishi hc1500 projector in a somewhat light controlled room for the last 3 year . it finally get hit my a South Alabama lightning strike and fry the circuit board . I pay about $ 600 for the Mitsubishi refurbish but almost new and think that $ 600 now would get I at least as good a projector three year later . wrong . the Optoma be noisy and the image not nearly as sharp as the Mitsubishi it replace . the deal breaker , however , be the fact that the Optoma could not hold the signal come from my Blu Ray player 25 ' away . the Mitsubishi have no trouble lock on the signal . the Optoma would display the image , then flash the screen white for a second then lock onto the signal again , then loose it once more . I guess that if you just want to game with this projector then it would be fine . I return it promptly to Amazon for a trouble free refund . -lrb- thanks Amazon -rrb- . I be now look for a different projector . no more Optomas for I .
