I have the Epson 2900 for about ten months. At Beamer Xbox 360 (VGA) and a BR player are connected (via HDMI). The projector has a set of (Fine) settings. But I was right from the beginning so satisfied with the default setting, that I did not change it. Color, contrast, sharpness come across wonderful. Whichever modality - the picture looks great !!! The whirring of the fan is quiet (is drowned out by the Xbox by far), but not inaudible. Although I must say that the projector is relatively close (about 1 meter away). Disturbed it has yet to meet anyone until now. The Epson 2900 is also bright enough to him on the day without too much limitations to use (watch movies in the dark, of course, much better, but for Xbox or TV series you go during the day quite well).
Of course you can also opt for a more expensive and better beamer. In which case an English website analogously found that 95 percent of today possible image quality can be achieved with this projector. For the remaining five percent you have to pay 400 euros more and then stop.
In short, I love this projector and would buy it immediately, because it gives me in films, TV series and computer games feel to be right there on !!!
