I have the Optoma HD70 and I highly recommend it. I wouldn't advise attempting to paint a screen
on the wall however. You might get an uneven coating with hot spots. I suggest getting a pull down screen or floor model pull up screen. I have
a 10 foot wide pull down glass beaded screen and it works great with this unit. The HD72 has
more inputs if you want to utilize a DVI input. The HD70 only has an HDMI input for the digital
signal. I have two machines I use with it. The Toshiba HD XA2 for HD movies and most standard
DVDs which it upscales nicely with the HDMI cable and a Samsung which also upscales standard
DVDs and uses a DMI to HDMI cable. On occasion, the Toshiba won't play a standard DVD that
has a glitch in it whereas the Samsung will play anything in the standard format. Recently I tried
to show the Rockford Files disc which had a glitch at the head of one of the shows and the Toshiba
stated "No Signal" whereas the Samsung played it fine after I fast forwarded past the glitch (the image froze and broke up after the credits for a second).

As for those advertised rebates, I'm still waiting for mine which I purchased over a month ago. Very slow payment.
