This is the best projector I've owned! It's hard to find a product this bright (3000 ANSI lumens) along with 40W sound in the home projector price range, so this one stood out. True to the specs, the picture is bright, easily enough to show a movie even with a light on nearby or a bit of daylight peeking through the window. The sound is loud enough to show action movies in our good-sized den. In the past, I've connected my projector to a separate speaker--and that's possible with this projector--but I didn't need to here, as the built-in speakers are better the portable speaker I had been using.
