After seeing and hearing... I'm a believer... nice system Jim!

Jim, I bought my projector from a dealer that did a special calibration deal last year, and they came back with the view that the AE700 (when calibrated) gave one of the best projected images available without spending significantly more money

The company is Nine3Media, based in Minnesota - can't seem to find them anymore, maybe they've closed, but great people to deal with.

Phil,

For the price point and picture quality, the AE700 is tough to beat.
