my wife and i just hosted a movie night at a club we belong to using our viewsonic projector, phillips hd dvd player that upconverts to 1080!
we built a small movie theater in our basement and wanted a projector that could provide a good projected picture.
i took a casual try at projecting a non-hd dvd with it, and the quality was ok, but not outstanding.
other thoughts: put this together with a cheap htpc, some nice computer speakers, and a white sheet, and you have yourself a sub 1,000 dollar movie theater!
in summary: the hd picture quality was excellent and we got some great feedback from our movie night viewers.
so it comes down to movies, which is why i gave this product a 4 vs 5.
i've watched a lot of movies so far, and am extremely impressed in this projector...colors are great, and even though its natively 720p, you can easily change it to 1920x1080 on a computer.
also, there has been some buzz about "rainbow effect" with this projector, but i've never seen it - nor have a dozen or so other familiy & friends that have watched movies or sports with this
with what i saved on the price match on the projector and an onkyo hts-5100b, i basically got a killer bluray player for free.
i have also connected it to my blue-ray player and watched a movie which was amazing.
