we be skeptical after read about horizontal panning and on the first projector we receive it be pretty noticeable - soccer be difficult to watch with significant blur and jitter . we have to replace the original after a week when it start overheate and shut down in a 70 f degree room . the replacement be better than the original . horizontal panning be much smoother and watch USA v Japan woman 's match today be a great experience with great clarity and smooth tracking . image be sharp even when player be run and color be wonderful . we all notice the difference immediately . use same connector , HDMI cable as on first . use the pro 8200 with a Epson Duet 80 '' screen for now - perfectly good for this projector or until you get a more permanent setup . projector come with a nylon case for transport and the tripod Epson Duet screen fold right up in seconds . very stable once deploy . alignment and feature for the pro 8200 be good . it have great zoom and decent keystone correction . I be use it in a garage office with overhead led spot and blackout curtain on the sole window but it be plenty bright to use even in a light room on `` Standard '' brightness and this be best color . `` brightest '' look more wash out by far . Works great with dual hdmus - use a hd Directv DVR and alternate the other between PS3 and Apple TV , Roku . the MacBook pro Retina with Mountain Lion and AirPlay easily put my Mac display on the big screen - nice bonus . a bit blurry run thru projector either on AirPlay or use the mbp hdmus port and it do go to 16:9 use the Mac 's HDMI port . Works great with we flight sim pc and the HDMI port on EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW too . both would be adequate for class or work . excellent PS3 performance use Gran Turismo , COD , etc. . I have see the $ 3k projector but nowhere near enough difference to justify the price . you will not regret this projector for home or work .
