Does not do Shadow or Black areas well

This projector looks great as long as it's colrful bright scenes. if it a dark room forget it no detail at all. sides of faces,hair back ground items all details disapear. Tried all adjustment no help.

WOW

I had the previous model for 2 years. So I thought this one is the same, but no it is much much better in quality and performance. No regrets

awesome product

awesome product for this price

Outstanding performance

I have used sharp products for years in a great room theatre, with a 12' screen. I replaced my sharp with this item, the first time I had folks over to watch football, everyone commented how much better and crisper this picture is. Picture in picture, very cool, overall, great value at 1400, and the price is about half that! My buddy has a 3200 epson that he says he wants to replace with this. As for lamp prices, always know that going in, this is an investment, but try matching it with a flat panel, not even close.

Lamps

A new lamp for this projector is $329.00 after 4000 hours of use.

Outperforms Optima HD20

This projector replaced our Optima HD20 that was used daily by my kinds in our basement home theater. The VS Pro8200 is noticeably brighter even on economy mode and the warranty is definitely better though I never had any problems with the Optima. Great purchase. Fast delivery.

Great Projector

Great picture quality, especially for the price. Much better than I thought it would be. Sometimes a little noisy would be my only complaint, but not noticed if watching movies.

Not going to go wrong

Got this projector and its much better than I expected, especially for the price! Its bright and will bring the theatre experience right to your home. Once you calibrate it, the colors are very vibrant and lifelike. There is a fan but it runs quiet and you'll never notice it during an actual movie. Downside: ECO mode keeps getting turned off, and shadow detail leaves a bit more to be desired. Other than that though its a solid buy!!

Solid projector, perfect for my needs

I've mounted this projector on my basement ceiling, projecting onto a 105'' screen from a computer. Simple to use and set up, beautiful picture. I bought it to replace a 6 year old projector that wore out. Perfect for my application.

Simple to use

great for home or office. clear picture. good sound from the projector when you have HDMI and set up on windows. very user friendy. does the job and then some!
