User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars This projector provides excellent 1080p images
I bought this projector to replace a Sharp LCD with standard resolution. This projector is smaller and much quieter. It has an interesting set of adjustment wheels that allow you to adjust the image to the screen with ease. There is no need for a keystone adjustment as this projector corrects for it automatically. It gives you a variety of choices for video connections, but it performs extremely well using the HDMI connection. It has good brightness, even in a partially lit room and has rich colors and good blacks in a darkened room. It provides extremely sharp 1080p images; I am using it with an 8 feet wide screen at a distance of about 20 feet and it has room to throw a bigger image. If you are looking for an “affordable” full 1080p projector with good features, this is the one you should buy.
5 Stars AMAZING
This projector is Awesome. It replaced a Sharp projector that I was in love with for 3 years, and this blows it out of the water… Dual HDMI inputs, razor sharp resolution, EXTREMELY bright if you want it to be means daytime viewing is no problem.
This thing is BIG and a bit of a beast, but that just makes me feel even more that I got what I paid for. Happy camper here.
4 Stars Well worth the price!
If you are looking to break into the 1080p projector territory, this is an excellent projector! I’ve had the chance to use my 6100 now for a few weeks, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. Image quality is fantastic, and the colors are great too (when configured correctly). I’ve been using mine with the HDMI output of a Harman Kardon AVR-254 7×50W 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater.
Pros:
* This sucker is BRIGHT. I am amazed at how nice it looks even with ambient light.
* Minimal screen door, as should be expected for a 1080p projector.
* The expanded color mode is beautiful, and works quite well.
* Contrast ratio is good, but don’t believe the 18000:1. It is still remarkably good for a <$2000 projector, and blows others that I've seen out of the water. But I have seen a lot of compression-artifact banding on Bluray sources -- you need a good video source to achieve good results.
Cons:
* I haven’t figured out why yet, but sometimes the projector loses focus. It could be vibrations from traffic nearby, kids playing upstairs, or the startup sequence, but the focus definitely needs to be tweaked from time to time. If you plan to mount your projector where it is not easily accessible, I would go so far as to suggest a different projector.
* If you have an HDMI source, it doesn’t seem to allow you to change the aspect ratio and zoom options. This gets kind of annoying when watching a letterboxed 4:3 source, because you can’t zoom in on the smaller image frame — you are stuck with the combined letterboxing and pillarboxing.
* The lens shift feature is excellent, but beware the limitations — you can’t shift fully in all directions. When shifting far to the left or right, you can’t also shift fully up or down. And if you are shifting near to the center point, it becomes difficult to tweak the shift because it wants to lock in on the center point.
* A number of the color mode seem useless and blown out in the out-of-the-box settings. I haven’t adjusted much to try out the other settings….
All in all, I’m incredibly happy, as I couldn’t spend more on a higher-end projector, and this gave me almost everything I wanted. For a five star home theater rating, you’ll probably need to spend at least $1000 more…
