Reviews ViewSonic PRO8200 1080p Home Theater Projector

My son bought the ViewSonic Pro8200 Projector and asked me to help him do the ceiling mount. I was skeptical at first because of the price. The install was clean and easy, and when he first fired up the projector, I was amazed! The picture quality of DLP is unbelievable!

This ViewSonic PRO8200 1080p Home Theater Projector is a light cannon. Super bright. Running it in Eco mode is fine even in a room that has ambient light. Blu Ray and HD-DVD performance is stunning. Awsome image clairity and sharpness. Rich, bright colors, good contrast and shadows.

This ViewSonic PRO8200 1080p projector is not a compromise for a tv, it IS a tv. it turns your wall into a tv. I'm telling you, this thing on the wall, in my house, is an 80 inch tv. Not I nor any of my friends were like "wow this projector is so big and it is almost as good as a tv" no... this thing looks exactly like a 1080p tv. no compromise at all.

I turned it out in fairly broad daylight, switched it into eco mode to save the bulb, and could still see it clearly. I'll follow up with this review in a few months to make sure nothing goes wrong, but with a 3-year projector warranty I'm not worried at all.

Worth it for $800, for sure. Obviously cheaper is always better, but I was waiting until SOMETHING came out with a nice warranty and from a major seller than was priced under $1000, and finally it has happened -- after 7 years of waiting. All in all, if you are sitting on the fence about replacing an older unit or considering getting your first projection unit that has 1080P resolution, you will not be disappointed if you buy this ViewSonic PRO8200 1080p Home Theater Projector unit.
