Also, sorry about the mistype on the title. I changed it to 1600 lumens. But the main title stayed at 600 lumens. It is a 1600 lumen pj.
EDIT:: Please note 2 things with this pj, (1) it is a native 4:3 that will do 16:9 also (2) its more of a mobile pj (however I had a mobile and it works great for HT)
Anyhow for 709.99 its hard to go wrong. Unless those two notes above bother you...
