so , after month of search for the right projector I decide on purchase the ep739 for 6 reason . 1 -rrb- the price , -lrb- $ 850 -rrb- that be hard to beat ! 2 -rrb- 720p , 1080i high definition picture . I have already watch Superman Returns and Mission impossible iii in 720p and it look incredible ! I have not see the 1080i picture yet , but I can only imagine ! 3 -rrb- 2,500 lumen for a nice bright image . I have a apartment with many window which be not ideal for a projector , but the ep739 do just fine . close the blind and turn off the light and get ready for a killer picture ! 4 -rrb- the input . S-Video , Composite -lrb- RCA -rrb- , VGA and DVI connection . some of you may be confuse about the VGA input and the DVI input . do not be , because I be go to clear that up for you right now . first up , VGA be analog and DVI be digital . that be the important thing to know . you can purchase a component adapter for the VGA input and a HDMI adapter for the DVI input . cool huh ? so do not shy away from purchase this projector because it do not have component or hdmus connection . it be a easy fix ! 5 -rrb- 5,000 hour lamp life !!! in all of my search for the perfect projector , I never come across another projector with 5,000 hour of lamp life . Eco mode will dim the picture a tad , but to be honest with you , it look fine . 6 -rrb- small and quiet . sure there be some fan noise but it be not bad at all . a friend of mine have a older projector and while watch a movie , you have to crank the surround sound to wash out the fan noise . not with the ep739 . my projector sit 5 foot from my head , and I hardly know it be there . and the size of this thing be small . it be hard to believe that such a small machine can produce a 25 foot picture !!! $ 2,000 - $ 3,000 for a 42 '' plasma or $ 850 for a theater like picture ... that be a no brainer for I !!!
