I will keep this review short as I think the pervious reviews are all well presented. I replaced the InFocus 4805 with this one and the picture quality is great. Video is great too. I have been watching fast action movies driven by my media center PC pushing 720p with 60Hz, and I didn't see any rainbow effect. Nor did my wife. That was our only issue, and I think we are safe.
I wanted to bring this to others' notice that as such, the price is low. But Mitsubishi is giving $100 cashback AND a replacement lamp ($350ish) - what on earth of a deal this is - Fantastic. In reality, the lamps don't go their full life, in about 50% of their usage is all we get from a lamp (from my research and past experience). two lamps, and $670 will get you through at least 3years of good use. By then, the 1080p (or higher) projectors would be priced well, most all channels would be 1080p transmitted at source(only hoping), blue-ray would be dirt-cheap etc etc.
Go for it! If you see hte rainbow effect, and that is a very rare set of folks, then just return it. Only 2 more days left I think before Mitsubishi's rebate and free lamp offer ends.
Just to sum it up, I wanted to bring in couple of other items I noticed:
* The projected picture has about a 1-inch or so of light bleeding on all sides of the frame, this can be slightly distracting, but I got used to it.
* Fan is relatively quiet, quieter than the InFocus4805.
* Low lamp and all those settings still provide great brightness and contrast.
There are more, I will put them in later. In all, great projector.
cheers
