It's a little bit more pricey but completely worth it. If you have any ambient light in the room and plan on watching it during the day get the "UB" version of this projector instead. I've done my fair of research and this is by far the best 1080p projector for the money. I've been using it with my blu-ray player and I highly recommend it. Even with a grey screen it was hard to watch this projector in my family room during the day without blacking out all the windows.
This projector worth every penny for the picture quality you get. It is not well known by public, maybe that is why it is such a bargain.
The picture is great for HDTV, DVD and Blu-Ray. Bottom line. Purchased to upgrade my existing home theater projector and am very happy with my choice. EXCELLENT projector.
Discovery Channel and National Geo HD channels are my new best friends and even watching the HD versions of network shows and sports events are eye opening experiences. In high light mode the fan can be very loud. Even normal def signals look pretty good although obviously fuzzier on a 90" wide screen.Light others I agree that the blacks could be blacker but really unless you are a big video person you probably won't notice.
In low mode its tolerable and still produces plenty of light in my theater room.The picture quality of this projector feeding it a High Def signal is amazing. The color settings out of the box and although I've played with it a bit I'm partially color blnd so I'd probably make it worse. I bought this projector after agonizing over the decision for a month and convincing the wife to let me pull the trigger.
Being in Denver a mile high up MSL one of the first things I had to do was put the projector in high altitude mode which brings up the only real negative I have with this projector. I was replacing a very old VGA quality Sharp projector that I really disliked using because the picture quality was so bad.I got the new projector and opened it up right away when I got it. This new projector was much smaller than the old one and was pretty light so it was easy to mount up on the ceiling.

The only possible disadvantage with this projector is that it lacks keystone correction, which makes the image as straight as possible if the unit is not level. They actually do a better job than the keystone correction on my 4805.
I don't think this is a major negative because the feet on the bottom of the unit are adjustable. This, along with the horizontal and vertical correction buttons make the image straight.
I developed a good opinion about this projector from reading the various reviews on the internet, but after I hooked it up and saw a Blu Ray movie on the big screen for the first time, I was blown away by the quality. I would strongly recommend this unit for anyone interested in a budget HD projector.
The image size was larger than expected and playing Xbox 360 games was as lifelike as possible. I had an InFocus 4805 480p projector prior to getting this one, which was a very solid projector, but the Epson produces larger images from the same distance and does HD as well.
For $[.]., you can't go wrong with the Epson 1080.
