" ... So I replaced the lamp and the picture was like new again. ... "
" ... Picture is about as good as you can expect from a budget HD projector. ... "
" ... Projector quality is good. ... "
" ... For a $700 HD projector I think the picture quality is absolutely fantastic. ... Pictures have vibrant color, quite good black levels and crazy bright whites. ... While many reviews stated the brightness is not uniform and the picture is brighter in the center and darker near the edges, neither I nor my family have noticed this at all regardless of dark, medium or well lit scenes. ... Overall, when the center of the picture is razor sharp, the edges are slightly out of focus. ... The picture is amazing and we've worked around the fan issue in a way with bright mode. ... "
" ... DARBEE really does make a difference in picture quality. ... "
" ... Nice picture on my wall even in lighted conditions. ... "

" ... The brightness is so good, I can literally watch it during the daytime with the curtains drawn, or with indirect lighting on at night, and the picture is crisp and clear. ... The colors are fantastic, and it's relatively quiet in operation. ... "
" ... Pictures have vibrant color, quite good black levels and crazy bright whites. ... I ran color, brightness and contrast test patterns to calibrate the projector and surprisingly out of the box it really needed no calibration. ... The projector is actually SO bright in "bright" mode that the Eco mode is perfectly bright enough which would be great (better bulb life etc) EXCEPT the way the fan is programmed. ... "
" ... Brightness is fine. ... "
" ... Excellent picture and brightness. ... "
" ... The contrast ratio is great. ... Just like the contrast ratio . ... "

" ... I've wanted a nice HD projector for so long. ... "
" ... Picture is about as good as you can expect from a budget HD projector. ... "
" ... For a $700 HD projector I think the picture quality is absolutely fantastic. ... The Darbee vision system really adds a subtle pop to everything making a 1080 source look as close to 4k as you're going to get. ... This is nit picking though as I havent noticed it while watchig normal video content. ... "
" ... The key ones were: I needed something that was capable of full 1080p HD (3D was a bonus). ... Watched a few movies just at HD also TV from my HD cable box. ... BUT THEN I took someone's advice from another comment that said look at Costa Rica 4k video on Youtube. ... This is truly as good as it gets picture wise short of a 4K projector. ... "
" ... great full HD and clear ... "
" ... It was designed in the 70s before Hd. ... "
" ... The Darbee tech is pretty cool and at times makes it look like you have a 4k TV, but the full pop setting of Darbee makes the pic look fake. ... The price was great 487 dollars for an HD/3D 120 inch screen tv, basically. ... You can't beat 500 bucks for a 120 inch HD/3D tv!! ... "
" ... I was worried about the sharpness of lines on difficult to render features, but the 1080p projection looks fantastic. ... "

" ... With a projector, we don't have to worry about that because the screen is not breakable and the projector is high up on a shelf and the kids cannot reach it! ... We absolutely love our new 120 inch screen "tv" We always feel like we are at the movie theater! ... We also bought a huge used projecor screen on Facebook Marketplace for 40 bucks!! ... "
