The only complaint I have about it is that it says it is HDTV compatible, but it doesn't have component video inputs. Instead, you must order a $25 cable from BenQ that converts component-style cables to a VGA cable. Of course I wasn't aware I needed it until I got the projector, so now I have to wait another week or so to see HD in action. LOL Yeah I know, I'm not a very patient person. Friday I called probably about 15 places to see if anyone had a VGA-HDTV converter cable to no avail.The picture, even without HD, is awesome. The brightness level is quite good, even in a room with venetian blinds in daytime. Also, that wide-angle lens allows me to fill nearly an entire wall in wide-screen in my relatively-small living room. Being an avid videogamer, I spent quite a few hours on Xbox Live blasting away at people. I also watched quite a few movies w/my wife, and it was better than being at the theater. An amusing side effect was watching my cat watch the moving images on the wall. Now I can't wait to get HD and Discovery HD Theater - I imagine I'll have hours of laughter just watching the cat try to hunt the light.Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to setup the projector for Saturday's gaming session. I think it is going to work superbly, I just have a few loose-ends to take care of - namely a computer (I have a few that need to be formatted and have some more RAM slapped in), a new video card, and of course a way to *temporarily* mount the projector. Hopefully I can get this taken care of in the next 2 weeks... if I don't spend too much time on Xbox Live  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
