This is already my second projector from Acer. The first had recommended instead of 3000h for over 5000h lamp hours on the clock. This model now has an even higher recommended hourly output than many other models. I find him to be very quiet. The image is HD Ready and really brilliant. Connections are also plentiful so all reproduction purposes should be pretty much covered. Price / performance, I feel very good. Strong buy recommendation for the Home area
