Summary
Overall Philips has produced a competitive projector that should meet the needs of most entry level home theater enthusiasts. Its real advantages are in value (due to its relatively low initial cost of $2000 - $2500) and the cheapest long term costs (due to its best-in-class lamp life). Also, its first-in-class quietness is a distinct advantage in close quarters. On the negative side, cheaper home theater projectors are available that are even more competitive in terms of screen resolution, intensity, and contrast. Its native wide screen format will please many movie enthusiasts, and the continued price reduction should further fuel the growth in the projector market. It is a great time for the consumer as the technology continues to make rapid strides while prices plummet. Sub $1000 projectors are already arriving, causing many to consider ridding the family room's 35” CRT TV and moving up to the full home theater experience with a 100” screen. After all, why not? Movie tickets are not getting any cheaper!

“Looked at a large range of projectors from $3000-10000AUD, and chose this one because of the lamp life and what I thought was excellent colour and brightness, even better than some other brands with better specs IMO” More...

“I also have one of this set and am very happy with the picture performance, especially the colors. However, I think the noise level of this set is exceptionally low. You can't hear it while watching a movie. About the lamp life...cannot compare..” More...
