Wow! That’s an incredible projector! I’m no expert at projectors, but it looks like an incredible deal with its very high resolution, lamplife, projection distance, and most importantly price! It’s MSRP is just $500 =O. I’ve been looking around, and the only projectors I’ve seen that have these kinds of features are starting up at $700usd or more! 

Please, someone tell us that this projector is for real!

The only thing I’m unsure of is how loud is 33dBA?

Looks well suited. 3.3’ miminum throw is good to be able to squeeze it into the box.

Have you got any results yet? I wonder how the image will be in daylight situations.

Its very bright in daylight and projects a clear image on just about anything still getting used to it. Takes 2 minutes to cool down due to automated shutdown before you can switch it off. which means unplugging as no Mains off switch on the projector itself.

Can someone please point me to the tool someone used here to display latency as I cant find it! Think I have my head in knots from searching and not being able to see it. It shows bars when you display it and you counts the bars to get the delay? I think.
