[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2087346, member: 20741"] Not sure either, as there is no listing for this unit on Projector Central yet. That in itself strikes me as very odd. That said, all the stats seem to be VERY nice and appear to dovetail with the stats on the Optoma739. That's a very nice projector if the stats are to be believed - though I doubt the lamp is really good enough for 5000 hours. My reaction to that is - maybe in ecnono mode you can get to 3000. But 5000? Nah. I wouldn't be counting on that as a reason to buy it. Everyone selling it seems to refer to Tiger Direct at the same price. It's possible that this is a Optoma 739 which has been refurbed or otherwise packaged off to Tiger Direct from Optoma. FWIW, the 739 at 5'3" is in the 33"-39" diagonal range. You'd do better getting a new lower table to use it with. 6" inches more of throw space would help a lot. All the stats I can see on it appear to be very positive. But I'm suspicious of a unit without a single review on Projector Central. I'd call Optoma first and get the low down on this rig and see if its the 739 under a different model number before I bought it. There is no entry on Optoma's website for it either. That also is not a showstopper - but call em and find out more first. [/QUOTE]
