I buy this as a Christmas present for my husband who love electronics . Use will be for gaming with the Wii -lrb- until we kid we older and he get that PS3 or XBox he want -rrb- , and movie blue-ray\/dvd watch purpose . my kid be thrill with the idea of a `` movie theater '' in we game room . I be impress with the picture for the price I pay , and no , it be not hd , but it be pretty cool if you ask I -lrb- as a electronics novice -rrb- . he say , great picture , very bright . some difficulty in find the component to VGA cable - it must be order off the internet . right now , he be just use what come with , and be still fairly happy with it . Picture be pretty clear even with three window in we game room - even better in the dark\/at night . we be very pleased with the product , for the price . he have no idea what I pay for it , but seem very impressed . rate lower ease of set up due to find cable , etc. but if you know ahead of time what to order , you should be fine .
