Summary: A good home theater projector
Comment: I bought the S3 a month or so ago after a lengthy search process. My goal was to get a projector for watching DVDs. The image is bright and clear. 1,600 lumens gives you a good picture even with substantial ambient light. I use a 92" high-gain screen, and a projection distance of around 13'. At that distance, 92" is about as small as the image can get.

I would prefer that the zoom was manual rather than digital, but image quality does not suffer much at all with the DVDs.

Overall, our family is very pleased with this projector.

Summary: Better than expected
Comment: I have used the S3 FOR 70 HRS. AND FOUND IT WORKS FINE. I have played many DVD with no problems. I play 14 local stations thru a digital receiver and then thru the S3. which makes bad news more acceptable. I recommend this projector.

Summary: EXCELLENT VALUE!
Comment: I have been searching a <$1000 projector for years, which I need for teaching/presentation and home entertainmnet. This projector meets all my needs.

For teaching and presentation, its light weight, instant off feature, and keystone correction ability make my job very easy. It really can go anywhere, setup within a min. or two. Just connnet it with my computer (I used both PCs and Mac laptop), switch on, correct keystone setting electronicly, and everytime it gives me the perfect projection.

For home entertainment, I connnet it with DVD player/VCR/playstation with S-video cable, projecting pictures on a 70'X70' screening. This projector's 3LCD technology really works, shows great color and details. Its presettings for movie, game..., is really convenient and easy to use. My whole family just love it!

Summary: very good
Comment: just I put it in a pretty high position. It hard to make it project to the right position. I need to put something under the bottow.

Summary: good projector, but no optical zoom and low resolution
Comment: This is a good product. I especially liked the design and convenient menu. Very easy to use and good picture quality. Two things I did not like about this projector: (1) no optical zoom and (2) only 800by600 resolution. This is not a problem if you plan to place the projector close to the screen, such that your image is not very large. In my case I wanted to project images on a wall in my living room (which is about 14 inches long) and mount the projector next to the opposite wall. It did not work. The image size was huge and the image quality was not so good. I could see separate pixels and it was very annoying. You can decrease the image size digitally, but it does not improve the image quality.

I ended up returning this projector and ordering Epson Powerlite 76C LCD instead. Couldn't be happier. 76C has all the same features + 1024by768 resolution and optical zoom. Definitely worth additional $250!
