Note: In PC mode under Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 but it was to me to send only possible up to 1600x1200. I then ultimately to run on 1600x900 and games thus then also in widescreen format. Enough for me and is fun (assuming gamepad).
For negatives: Everything you hear about so Beamer is also represented here. He is loud, it is very hot, emits a lot of heat and replacement bulbs are extremely expensive. Of course, one must also have space, contain daylight and buy one or another extension cable for something.
This model has no HDMI input so directly an adapter is due (VGA to HDMI) and also to an audio cable for system / headphones, if you do not have AV Receiver.
Maintenance, I find no lamp below 150 euros which is why I use the projector well as earlier the printers will simply replace with a new one at the end of life. Since that time I only paid 200, I will understandably not to have it serviced. As I lay rather then again 150 plan and buy an HD model. But only at the margins ...
Conclusion: Anyone who has never owned a projector should still strike here. Although it is no longer on the cutting edge of technology, but the large screen experience is still there and that one should look at it once in "low". In the worst case you have a mediocre television for little money. Barbecue with football is so loose it.
