" ... This product is great for our family movie night each friday and picture quality and sound is as advertised at 1080p and tru surround sound. ... "
" ... I was actually also impressed with the sound, for which now that I am hooked on watching a 120" diagonal picture, I am intending to go 7.2 Dolby on this when I get a spare $600. ... "
" ... Our friends and family couldn't believe the quality of the picture. ... "
" ... The picture quality is pretty good on my 120" screen, though I'm having trouble getting it to focus on the whole screen. ... It works well with minimal light, almost perfect picture quality in near darkness, and it surprisingly even shows up pretty well in a fully lit room. ... "
" ... Not only was it MUCH brighter than the Nebula, the picture quality was much better. ... "
" ... This is a pretty good projector for the price, the sound quality is amazing, the picture quality is pretty good although you do need to fix up the picture settings and all that, it does not have a loud fan noise like a lot of projectors out there, and I thought it was very nice that it came with its bag and little pockets with the hdmi, power, and vga cable ! ...

" ... The projector will give you 1080p quality up to about 100" and a good 720p to 140". ... You aren't getting 4k projection but i'm ok with that mainly because i don't want to pay the $2500 for a 4k projector. ... "
" ... It’s not the most HD projector, however it’s hard to find one this good at the price! ... "
" ... The 510 is considerably brighter and the native 720p is of course much more tolerable for us grown ups used to 4k TV's. ... "
" ... First, despite the product being advertised as a “1080p full HD resolution” the natative resolution of the projector is only 720p HD. ... "
" ... It's not 4k quality but really nice for the price! ... "
" ... Of course if you have a 4K Samsung flat screen tv . ... This is a huge image being shown at 720p on a wall or screen that’s not in the same comparison chart for a 4K tv, however this projector is great for my budget friendly home theater. ... I will use this till the day I can afford a 4K short throw projector. ... "
