Time has come to change it up as I've gone to a larger screen. So, I am reluctantly offering my beautiful, low-hour Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 720 LCD Projector - 1600 Lumens, 720p 1280 x 720, 16:9, HDMI, 11.5 lbs for $599.
Unit was purchased new in July 2009. It has minimal usage, approx. 348 hours on its original bulb. I have a spare bulb which I willl offer at $100. Each bulb is rated at 4000 hours, so you can be in projector wonderland for a great whie.
HC720 will be shipped in original packaging for unit's protection. Comes with remote and manual. Ask anyone I've sold to, I take care of my gear! (I reserve the right to cancel the sale as I will be comparing the 720 to a newer Epson) FedEx ground tends to be the easiest, but can ship UPS or USPS. Paypal without fees or USPS money order preferred.

Epson Home Cinema 720 Projector: Pros
Very bright projector overall
Best in class warranty and support
Most flexible of the 720p projectors in placement flexibility, very practical for shelf mounting in the back of your room
Very sharp image
Rich saturated colors
Many preset modes
Good, although not exceptional out of box color accuracy (Living Room mode excepted), definitely needs some tuning, however
9 user savable settings - the most of any of the competition
Great remote, even for those with large hands, and backlight is bright
A very good manual, not only covers all the features, but unlike most, gives some good explanations
Very good shadow detail
12 volt trigger for motorized screens that are properly equipped
Very good skin tones
Exceptional for watching sports
Audibly quiet in best modes (although not the quietest)
Excellent menu system
Attractively styled projector
Projector Highlights:
One of the brightest home theater projectors out there
Good (not exceptional) black levels
An extremely sharp - crisp looking image
Very good out of the box color accuracy
A dynamic mode that really cuts thru ambient light, but has more shift to green that most (extra green is a common way to boost lumens, and most projectors' dynamic modes exhibit at least some shift to green)
Solidly built
Vertical and horizontal lens shift, and zoom lens with lots of range for great placement flexibility
Excellent, best in class warranty
Fun to watch
Only one HDMI
$1299 estimated street price
Same user name on A'gon, Emotiva, AVS and Chase Home Theather
