Everyone says it works "fine" or "ok" on movies and direct tv, does this mean great, bad, does it lag or is it great resolution

I've had this projector for three months and I would have to say the picture quality depends on the media quality. Blu-ray and HDDVD's are spectacular, bright colors and a very clear picture. The image projected is processed through the HDMI output on my surround system. HDTV images are very good, clear pictures, although not as good as a plasma or LCD TV. Any other input besides HDMI are acceptable but not as good as HDMI or Blu-ray. Hope this helps.

This was bought for our Volunteer Fire Department training. We use it hard wired and the image is as good as the PC screen it projects. We have three Epson projectors at our church more expensive than this one that work well with any input. We have no complaints with this model but have not used it extensively.

We show movies from dvd's as well as broadcast TV via Com cast cable. The resolution shown on the screen is the resolution of the source. If the source is HD, we see a HD picture. If it's the 480 lpi, then that's what we see. We're a church and use two projectors.

Just wanted to put my two cents in too! I just received mine last night - I have a 3 TB hard drive connected to it - I got it because not all tvs (or game systems) play all the different movie formats - this thing plays them all - I am VERY IMPRESSED, and based on the fact of seeing two USB ports I'm positive I can hook up another hard drive (the cartoon one for the kids). There wasn't any lag works perfect. If they ever add more options to the home menu that would be a bonus!

The only lag is the time the V image shows before tuning in. I don't use its tuner, but, when trying it out, I had no issues. I watch everything through the HDMI from ToVo, DVD, etc. Love the unit so far.

I've used it for gaming (both PS3 & PC) and I haven't noticed any lag. I've been playing FPS, third person shooters, platformers, etc. I've also used it with both the game mode on & off, and haven't had any issues.

I've heard this models great with HD. But I'm not planning on updating the box or getting a newer generation gaming system quite yet.I currently have no TV. My goal is to find the most cost efficient TV I'll be happy with for years. In other words, one that handles SD well for now, but handles HD good enough that when I switch to it I won't feel like I should buy a newer model.

Yes,I just finished a season of nhl 14 on it. Im playing a torrent of guardians of the galaxy right now. There is no such thing as lag.its an led projector. Bulb last 2000 hours. I also have my dish network hooked up and regularly watch live sporting events and it easily rivals my 50 inch Samsung plasma TV in the same room. ...even during the day. GET IT. GET A SOUND BAR WITH A WIRELESS SUB AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO FROM FOOTBALL TO GAMES to your PC I have had 4 projectors over the years. Perfect for the money...mine is set at 170 inches from about 10 feet away. Perfect!

Addendum to my previous answer........... it is indeed on the low side but if you are not playing serious serious games it will be fine. I am running full Blue Ray with no issues

I think it workx pretty well. It's pretty clear, it's alot like watching movies in the old days on a screen in that it should be somewhat dark and you should have a light flat surface to project on. It's is crisper when you hook up to a TV of course but sure is easy to quickly show someone on the wall if you don't want to bother with hook ups. I'm glad I got the feature. Good luck.

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

I noticed a hair of lag with COD AW on Xbox one. It is playable, but not preferred to me. Much less lag than the 5010 projector had, but its there. Ive read elsewhere that the lag is from the keystone adjustment software. That's why some of the cheap projectors have no lag, they dont have the high tech image adjustment software this one has. But I bet they don't look awesome like this projector does!

The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do. It works great on Blu-ray, but I noticed that when I am using Netflix, sometimes the machine just hangs-up and stops working altogether, and I have to basically "reboot" it by turning it off and then back on. It has it's hicups, but for the money I guess it isn't too bad a machine. It is just a little aggravating sometimes. But if you buy one and have trouble with it, I discovered a trick to get it to update correctly. This takes care of most of the problems these machines have (I have 3 of them). If you buy one send me another message through Amazon and I will help you with it if you want. The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do.

I have found lower quality resolution with Netflix streaming wirelessly than I get with Amazon using the same speed and config. I have a BluRay player attached that has wireless that I plan to try to see if it is better but I don't think it is the connection since I can stream HD from Amazon and get a totally crisp picture. I have a 10mb connection. UPDATE:As mentioned above I did try streaming Netflix through my Sony BluRay to see if the connection was better. It may have been very marginally better, but did not solve the recurring pixelation problem. In my case at 10mb it may be partially a speed problem. I plan to upgrade to 60 or 90 in the next few weeks and will post another update after that as well.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

seems fine but when looking at computer there is lag to record but that's no issue. Just can't play off computer screen, only TV. Make sure you have good internet for last gen consoles because when putting video output to 1080p it is good but console connection for multi-player can cause lag because of that end.

There is a bit of lag if u play FPS games but with this you cant play 1080p new games FPS, for video and movies is grate and lag isnt a big worry there , if u want real ms lag its aroudn 3-7 ms depending on cable. Hope it helps

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

I play Xbox one, ps4 and wii u definitely no lagging it's like playing in a regular 1080p tv it's an awesome experience. Best investment you'll ever make. Make sure you buys screen made for 3D, mine is a 120"I can have all the lights on and windows open and it doesn't affect it at all. You'll still get a high quality picture
