HD sporting events, Movies, Shows are just awesome on 100 inch screen! And the Optoma HD131Xe 1080p Home Theater Projector price is just too great to pass up. The speaker that comes on it works surprisingly well. Not a big deal. This is my third projector unit in a home theater scenario. It is very bright and the colors are amazing.

• Unsurpassed image quality for the best home theater experience
• Native 1080p resolution
• Full 3D compatibility; immerse yourself in your favorite 3D movie or video game
• Comprehensive connectivity to satisfy your current and future needs

My only complaint is minor: sitting in a built in wall cabinet right side up, I had to prop up the rear of the projector by about 3" more than the front because it is made to project from a position closer to the floor when right side up and from the ceiling when the unit is hung upside down from the ceiling. I had to replace my old Optoma - the arcing ballast went out... but it was 6 years old... never replaced a bulb.

The issue I had was I already owned an Optoma HD65 native 720p projector with under 200 hrs. Yet, the itch to try a native 1080p projector was enough to pull the trigger. So how does this projector compare to the HD65? Comparing them side by side, the newer projector was slightly brighter and had slightly more vibrant coloring-not necessarily more film or life like though.

I still have the HD65 but certainly would recommend the HD131XE. I've been a fan of projectors for about a decade now and have owned many projectors (infocus in26+ep, acer h6510bd to name the ones that i still use) this is above and beyond the best projector I have owned and the one that has impressed me the most. The projector just wowed me straight out of the box.

My infocus is 720p with 2400 lumens, and this projector is much much brighter and much cleaner. Also, if your projector is angled a lot, it is impossible to focus the bottom and the top of the screen at the same time so mount accordingly. Besides that, go buy this Optoma HD131Xe 1080p 2500 Lumen Full 3D DLP Home Theater Projector with HDMI, you won't regret it
