+ value for money, size, looks, image quality.

- rainbow effect

+ light compact easy to use even for 1st timer good image quality for a projector at this price

- a bit noisy if u turn on the high altitude option for better cooling.

+ Excellent value for money. Easy to set up. If you are considering a projector don't waste any more money than this. You will not be disappointed.

- There aren't any really apart from a little bit of rainbow effect if you move your eyes quickly.

+ small, quiet, light and looks really cool

- none so far

+ great picture, great price. Was easily set up too.

- throw distance not great. Lens adjustment next to non-existant.

+ Fantastic HD picture, especially with a PS3. Easy to use and set up. Fantastic value.

- None

+ cost, image,quietness of operation,size

- cannot zoom down image enough without moving projector

+ Fantastic for PS3 gaming, superb image quality. Was purchased as Christmas present for other half with intention of occasional use but living room has now been re-arranged to accommodate!

- Only one HDMI port.

+ It is an excellent piece and comes with a lot of connections. The picture quality is superb and equal to standards from the 1.000+ GBP category. I absolutely recommend this projecter to every home cinema enthusiast or gamer as the best value for quality entry standard.

+ Image quality
Ease of use
fantastic value for money

- unable to lock focus so that when you put on or remove the lens cap it adjusts

+ Good quality picture at a great price

- None so far

+ Fantastic crisp picture for the price. Love it!!

- Only negative point, and this is the case with DLP projectors, is the rainbow effect. The first film we watched (Transformers) I didn't notice the rainbow effect. The second one (Ghostbusters) I did! Then I started looking for it. Anyway, four months down the line and I hardly notice the effect now I'm used to it. Would I buy this again? You betcha!!

+ Great picture, HD or SD, very impressive. Like being in the cinema.

- None whatsoever.

+ Picture quality and price point for HD ready product

- Connectivity to audio source
Internal speaker needed

+ A GOOD TEACHING AID AND FANTASTIC ON THE PS3

- NO CARRYING CASE

+ an incredible projector for the price, outstanding picture quality with 3000:1 contrast ratio. puts my old projector to shame. watching blu ray puts you in a different world. hdmi and component inputs makes this projector very user friendly.

- none

+ cheap

- a little bit noisy

+ Excellent picture quality and worked immediately out of the box with Sky+ HD, PS3 and MacBook Pro.
I haven't tried it with a screen yet but even projecting onto a plain magnolia wall is amazing.

- None

+ Great picture, can be configured to full 1920 x 1080 HD, excellent colour and sharpness
Very happy with the product, highly recommend this especially considering it's price / preformance ratio!

- Has a wide picture for the distance so make sure you have planned where it will be located. If you have a screen already then you need to calculate the image size first. ALso has to be positioned directly in front of the screen otherwise the picture is distorted.

+ Small and compact.Picture quality is very good and plenty of inputs including HDMI which is a must nowdays.

- The dreaded Rainbow Effect.It is not noticeable to everyone but unfortunately it was a big problem to me.
So much so that i had to return the projector and purchase an LCD projector.
But if the Rainbow Effect doesn't bother you than it is an excellent projector for the price.

+ This product is fantasic, it is so quiet and the picture quality is brilliant.
All my mates want one now!

- none

+ quality for the price is unbelieveable!!

- slighy noisey

+ it's been the right choice and television is something of the past,

- wondering what the electricity will be.

+ Great value for money, I'm projecting a 90inch screen, a TV that size would cost thousands. Picture quality is superb- bright and colourful.

+ Very good value for money , good Projector for watching Sport & Films on.
Very Pleased with this Item Indeed.

- None

+ Incredible quality - 720p looks amazing, excellent brightness level (can view in daylight), small & stylish form factor

- Limited zoom range - have to place projector in a restricted zone from screen to achieve desired image size

+ Get very good quality even from DVD player, never mind a Blue Ray. Have it with a surround sound system and It is like being at the cinema.
Have iot set up in a spare room as a bit of a 'cinema room'. Good for all the family or if you just want to get away by yourself.

- Only down side is that there is a limited zoom, so you need to position it correctly to get the screen szie that you want. Worth making sure it 'fits' your room as you need to decide if it goes on the ceiling, in front of viewers, or behind.

+ Superb value, very good connectivity, overall picture quality is very good, brightness better than expected.

- slight rainbow effect, limited optical zoom.

+ Picture quality,size & weight

- none so far

+ Good colour and definition. Easy to use. Helpful leads and plugs included. Set up easy.

- None that I have found.

+ The projector is very small, which meant I could transport it on a train to my new house.
The price is reasonable
The picture quality is excellent, I cannot identify any rainbow effect and neither can any of my friends.

- There is a slight fan noise, but this is not disruptive.
I was reluctant to buy an expensive sound system to go with the already expensive projector so I tried a few different sets of speakers. Be careful not to buy computer speakers with a usb plug as obviously it will not be compatible. The difficulty lies in there being no sound output direct from the projector so sound is dependent on an output on your DVD player.

+ Very easy to use straight out of the box - no fiddling around with the settings was required to achieve a good colour balance. Picture quality is excellent for this price range. 'Rainbow' effects are very occasionally evident but never an issue.

- I would have preferred an additional HDMI input for extra versatility and obviously full HD 1080p would be better - but at this price it offers excellent value and on balance I am glad I didn't spend a few hundred pounds more for a projector equipped with these features.

+ Superb image quality. HD movies and Sky HD programmes are simply stunning (football in HD on this has to be seen to be believed) as are games and upscaled DVDs via XBOX 360 and DivX movies streamed from pc. I did lots of research before buying this pj and despite the rave reviews elsewhere, I wasn't fully convinced that it would deliver. However, I needn't have worried, I was astonished when seeing the size and quality of the HD image. It's a fantastic piece of kit for the money. For less than the price of a medium sized plasma I have a 106" pin sharp HD image in my living room. I was going to upgrade my 36" crt to a large screen plasma, but have kept it and use it for casual tv watching, news etc., firing up the HD700x for each evening's viewing. If you're in the market for an entry-level HD projector look no further.

- Some fan noise but not noticeable when surround sound system is on. SD tv through a Sky HD box can vary in quality, but that is down to the source not the projector. HD material is wonderful.

+ image quality is incredible, even with ambient light.

- if you want to use it as your primary entertainment system, you need an AV amplifier (and all the gubbings that go with it) if you have multiple inputs. Because the image is so big, Sky + HD is required otherwise TV is fuzzy.
