I have nothing but good things to say about having purchased this item. It was a great price. It came the next day. It worked perfectly right out of the box. I couldn't be happier with the product, the service, or the seller. Kudos all around.
As an aside, I was warned that this projector, being a "heavy-duty" item, might be a bit noisy. Not so at all. Once the surround sound comes up, the projector has no sonic "visibility" at all. The other "knock" on it is a possibly low contrast ratio. Once again, this machine outperforms my other more expensive and not as nearly as bright Panasonic . . and in so many ways. I see much better highlight and shadow detail with this machine than I ever did with my older and more expensive unit. As for adjustments and the ability to tweak it's performance, there are more than enough options to satisfy any owner. It is, as a matter of fact, under-described on it's product page. It does a lot more than indicated. In fact, the product page is deficient about a number of things. It is very confusing as to whether or not this machine uses IR or RF or possibly capable of using either or both systems to make the glasses work. It only uses RF. I already had IR glasses for our 3D TV. I guessed that, because the projector is behind the viewer, that RF would be the answer. I purchased a fairly expensive product that included the RF emitter and a pair of glasses for $80. The good news is that the shutter glasses for this machine are a lot less expensive than the shutter glasses that use IR. At about $18 apiece or less, they cost less than half what most IR active shutter glasses do. Another thing to consider: because the bulb is so bright, it doesn't last quite as long as 2000 lumen bulbs. The good news is that the bulbs for this projector can be purchased for from $45 to $80 making them a fraction of the price of replacement bulbs for my previous projector. This projector will be a lot less expensive to use and I don't have to worry about using it at a lower brightness in order to lengthen the life of my bulb. I actually had to pay $380 to replace the bulb in my old projector and it's maximum life at the lower power level was only about 20% longer than the life of this far brighter newer one.
In summary: Extremely bright projection. Superb image quality. Quiet. Excellent 3D. Reasonably priced emitter. Lots of adjustments. Low (half-) price active shutter glasses. Very inexpensive replacement bulbs. Reasonably priced. Good shipping speed. No disappointments at all.
At the price, this machine is just wonderful. Love it! Love it!! Love it!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017
The sound would be OK for a small conference room, but (as expected), we needed auxiliary speakers to make it work for our presentation.
It puts out a ton of heat (as expected for the brightness) so watch where you point the exhaust port. Also, it would be nice to be able to correct the keystone for both vertical and horizontal distortion (perhaps I just didn't do it right?). Another thing I would like is a higher zoom ratio, the optical zoom provided is a fairly narrow range compared to our older model... but that is a small price to pair for the improved image quality.
As a final kudos to the projector - the opposing trial team also brought a projector, and on day 1 agreed to set theirs aside and everyone just used this one.

Only downside, it did not (does not) come with the wifi dongle required to be able to connect to the projector. You can use HDMI or VGA Ports though. Its an additional $50 (cdn) from a 3rd party vendor. I could have purchased from Optoma, delivery time was the issue, via Amazon had it when needed.
