Actually I rate this as very good. The picture is outstanding (after a little bit of calibration on my part) and the size makes it very portable. Not too heavy, I can throw it into my backpack and take it anywhere. I have not tried the 3D yet. I just wish the projector came with a carry case for storage. You definitely get the movie theater experience with this unit, colors, contrast, and sharpness are all very good.

I bought a new low end projector that had great reviews. It was some knockoff brand with an LED bulb. Cost me $200. The image quality was horrible. Bad color and resolution. So I sent it back and searched ebay for a Viewsonic. This thing is amazing. It's got a true 1080p display unlike those low end ones that claim to. It's an old model but can't go wrong with Viewsonic.

With 1080 resolution, rich colors, 3000 lumens and a $700 price point, pretty much anyone can afford to have high quality home theater on a budget. Oh...and did I mention it also does 3D! I have left room the lights on during shows and found the picture still quite enjoyable. I shoot a 9 foot image on a plain white wall. The fan noise is not bothersome, but noticeable since it is right over my sitting area. I have it in a shallow room. I just drown it out with the surround sound. It also gives off a little heat, so it needs a little breathing room. These are not deal-breakers. This is my 3rd ViewSonic projector and I have been very happy with the brand.
The viewsonic is a great projector with awesome stats for a fantastic price. Its great cossover portable or home cinema unit. Im using as i dedicated home cinema projector and its great. I found the skin tones to be slightly red saturated but some messing around with the colour controls and it comes right. Note this projector is made to be set on a table low infront of the screen so those who want to mount on roof or have it on a bookshelf will need to flip upside down. Only complaints are that it can be alittle noisey and there is abit of light leakage out of air vents but these are minior.

Great projector. Never used the 3D, but the 1080p works great. Very clear picture, even up to 150" size. Fans are not quite but when watching a movie have never had an issue with them being too loud. Can't even hear them when mounted on the ceiling. Excellent bulb life even in standard mode. Some may need to do color correction, but the standard presets aren't bad.
