I purchased this projector in February and was more than amazed by the overall picture quality and brightness when paired with a Screen Innovations 0.8 screen. The automatic zoom feature was the main selling point for me and I have greatly enjoyed this feature. I have had multiple people tell me that outside of laser, this is the brightest and best picture they have ever seen in a home theater. Unfortunately, two months into my ownership this projector started having issues in regards to the internal moving parts and making a horrible noise that sounded like a bad fan. Be warned - Sony requires that all repairs on these higher end projectors (even on the > $35K units) be done out of Syracuse, NY. Also, you will hear stories from the repair facility (which is not Sony) about how parts can delay these repairs for weeks and even months. All in all, I am very happy with the picture quality of this projector, but with that being said I would recommend looking at other brands due to the warranty issues I have had with my projector. Follow up- Sony actually contacted me about my review and said that they have heard numerous complaints about the repair facility but unfortunately there is nothing they can do about it. I couldnt believe they were actually telling me this. If you buy this projector - cross your fingers that you never have an issue with it!
