How does this compare brightness-wise to the Uncle Milton's Star Theater Pro? Is it more or less bright?

Unfortunately, i can't answer this question as i have never tried Uncle Milton's Star Theater Pro. But what i can say is that i expected something more professional, but i think for more professional you need to pay more...

I bought this for my grandkids but my daughter and Son-in-law were very impressed. I have not seen it as of yet but probably will this next week.

I have the Epson Home Cinema 2000, it's plenty bright enough for football in a normally dark room, (lights out, kitchen light on, blinds closed, no blackout cloth) even in eco mode; and I'm using a 135 inch screen. It doesn't have the black level of a higher contrast machine, but, at its price, you really won't find anything close to the quality. I am extremely happy with my choice.

Has anyone else tried the "bright" mode trick? Any comments on the difference...

It is very bright but you get a great even makeup application because of that. I didn't find the brightness to be an issue.

This isn't an LED Light Source machine.... it is Single 0.65" DC3 DMD DLP Technology by Texas Instruments system. I just bought this unit as it is 1080p vs my Optoma HD66 which was 720p. You would have to watch a lot of TV 2 put 6000 hrs on one of these. I plan on replacing mine around 4000 hrs. if I ever needed to. I would recommend this to all my friends, it is a great projector for the money.

Laser is bright. Direct lights slightly for max. performance away from work area if possible. I haven't noticed the laser dim in distance. Still just as bright, but the further you get to project your line, the blurrier it gets. Probably 25-30 feet and laser tends to not be as sharp.

Its not too bright. It has two settings which differ slightly so you can always dim it a bit.

I cannot compare as I do not own both. But I do have the View Sonic and the LG, and both displays have excellent color accuracy when delivered and used on the DVI port using native resolution. The big rub is that the as delivered brightness is so high as to cause significant eye strain if used more than 1 1/2 hours. If you reduce the brightness, you will not get the advertised Dynamic Contrast Ratio. In addition the as delivered brightness causes a non acceptable light bleed around 1 or more edges. All of the above are to be expected on these LED backlit, IPS, WQHD displays, and getting one acceptable to you is a matter of luck and original engineering design tradeoffs. These displays are at least 2 or 3 times better than the old 1920 x 1080 displays. Good Luck.

In comparison? I can only say that I went with the Xtravision because it seemed like a reasonable trade-off between brightness and longevity. The silver star ultra is advertised as bright as is legal, which means 3 things to me; annoying blue tint that weakens depth perception, so bright that you get other peoples high beams flashed at you a lot, and a significantly shorter life span. I have the Xtravisons in my car and am well satisfied, the better improvement that I made was to replace cloudy headlight lenses, big improvement in crappy weather because light goes out in front rather than scattered UP in front of you.

The picture and brightess seem excellent to me. In a dark room when I turn it on it seems really bright for a few seconds .??Is this backlight bleedthrough? Black seems very black. The built in speakers are not adequate and if you do any music or sound for that matter, use auxiliary speakers for sure.

It is bright enough. It progressively lights depending on how low or high you want it. It's like the IKEA one. I love it!

I have this for my 8 ft table and it lights it up were you can play. I just wish it was brighter.

Yes, it is very bright. I have it in my crafting room and love the illumination it gives to work by.

It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned. The lighting location matters, I.e. if you turn on a lamp on the opposite wall you'll see very little change... but if you turn the overhead lights on near the screen it is considerably washed out. With my mini blinds closed in the middle of the day the picture is still very good. Short throw does matter I believe. Not sure if I'm saying this correctly but I believe the closer the source the less effect light pollution has on it. If your looking for a projector to use with over head halogen lighting you'll need a significantly higher lumen version. It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned.

This plasma is considerably brighter than most. Will it be brighter than the brightest LED? No, but I came from an LED and I have 0 brightness issues. I love this tv. It took 6 tvs before I was happy, and it was worth the hassle.

Actually it is pretty quiet as projectors go. More so than the one it replaced. It's three times as bright and you can place it 35% closer to the screen for the same size images. Yes, I would buy it again incase your wondering.

I bought mine for astronomy also. The red brightness is good for city astronomy and a bit bright for really dark skies. Too bad streamlight didn't allow the red LED to be dimmed like the white LEDs. It's still excellent for astronomy.
