I do a unbelievable amount of research on home theater projector over the course of about a year begin on a projector about half the price of this and slowly make my way to this model before decide that this be the one . I have never buy a projector before so I do not want to jump in and buy one for $ 6,000 + or anything , but I be a movie geek so I still want the best that I could possibly get on a reasonable budget . I be overjoy to report that this projector be beyond my wildest expectation . I own a Samsung Touch of Red lcd screen that be the envy of everyone who come over and see it , but this blow that out of the water -lrb- project 100 '' onto a fix 16:9 screen -rrb- . color be bright and the image be crisp with great contrast . although I do calibrate it and get the image to look slightly better , I find that it be not really too necessary as the out of the box color 1 setting be tune well enough . I will say this about it though , it be huge . although it do not weigh a great deal , the physical size of this thing be gigantic . I also have some difficulty get a universal projector mount to fit and hang right with it , but I guess that be not entirely its fault as I be sure other more experienced have no trouble .
