1. Purchased this projector to be the focal point of my 13Ft x 20Ft "man-cave" in my basement-which has now turned into our favorite family room. Paid retail at a big box store to later have it price matched within 30 days for $760 to one of the Amazon sellers price that has a store in the area. With what i saved on the price match on the projector and an Onkyo HTS-5100B, i basically got a killer Bluray player for free. Its incredible what a serious beginner HD Home Theater/Projector rig you can put together under $1500 with products like the Mitsubishi HC1600 on the market.
It is projecting ~12ft onto a floor standing 80" 16:9 silver screen. System consists of an Xbox 360 w/ HD DVD player, a Panasonic DMP-BD55K Bluray player and HD Cable box(Optimum/Cablevision). The Xbox 360 and Bluray player both feed the picture via a 25Ft HDMI cable from an Onkyo HTR576 Receiver. Cable through Component.

2. I just got my HC1600 projector, so I cant tell about it durability or something like that, but I can say about its image quality.
I was thinking between this Mitsubishi and the Epson Powerlite, also 720p, but $400 above.
So I decided for this one and used the 400 on the Onkyo S5100 Home Theater
I'm very very veeeery happy (one more very..) with my decision.
I'm preatty sure that Epson's Powerlite is a great projector, probably better than this one (it must have a why for the price), but obviously you will buy only one projector and put it on you room, you will not have the other one to compare, and if the one you bought is good enought you will not be sorry for buying that one.
That's what happended with me. I wanted a nice 720p projector and I got a nice 720p projector for a nice price.

1. Let's face it in this digital age as long as your AV equipment is able to get all the necessary 0s and 1s you're set. There is no need to go out and waste money on Monster Cable wires, this does just fine. I use this 25ft long cable to connect my roof-mounted HD projector to my AV equipment. Needless to say, it works super well.

2. There is one problem that may potentially affect you though. The height of the HDMI connector is quite high (ie it is thick). Whereas many of these connectors are around 1/4 inch tall, this one is 7/8 inch. There is some a/v equipment out there that doesn't have enough room for this connector. My SONY LCD projector falls into this category.
What I ended up doing was to get a small (1 foot) m-f HDMI cable extender, and this ended up with a male plug small enough to fit into the projector connector. This probably won't affect you, but measure your input connector area just in case.

1. I have played around with (DIY) screens for some time, and decided it was time to get a "real" one. This one is of surprisingly good quality for the price. I even dealt with their customer service on a very minor issue and they were excellent.
Note: This screen does not allow remote control signals to pass through it and it muffles sound if the speakers are behind it. Maybe most are that way - I don't know, but it's an important consideration in fitting such a large item into your home theater environment.
One more important consideration is that you need to catch two beams to mount this and it's a 94" span. If your house is like mine, and like most the beams are 16" apart. It worked out fine for me (luckily) I caught a floor joist (lengthways) with 4" lag bolts.

2. I use this screen with my Mitsubishi HC4900 1080p projector.
The image is fantastic. The blacks are good, the colors are vibrant, and the image very crisp on this screen. It's not too heavy and is easy to install.

Customer feedback:

1. I researched projectors for some time. If I had not seen this projector in use at someone else's home, I would have paid a considerable amount more for one of the more popular projectors. I am totally surprized that this projector is not more widely known. The picture quality is fantastic. It has both horizontal and vertical shift with v-keystone adjustments (features that are often omitted by reviewers). I almost purchased a LCD projector because of my less than 8 feet ceiling clearance. I had no problems with the ceiling mount using 106" screen.

2. Pros:
-Colors are great and accurate. Skin tones looks natural.
-Contrast is very good.
-I'm seeing details in the dark areas.
-Almost silent projector. (fan is very quiet even in Bright mode).
-The image is really bright (1600 lumens)
-Image looks uniform (a bit of noise in the black levels but you can barely see it).
-All the inputs that you need (1 HDMI, 1 Component, 1VGA, 1Svideo, 1,Composite).

Cons:
-The back light in the remote control is way to bright. It burn my eyes every time I'm using it. (not really helpful when you are trying to adjust the colors and contrast.
-No saturation control when using HDMI input.
-Zoom is really small ( you really need to know exactly how far from the screen to put it because you don't have that much room).

Customer feedback:

1. I used this to mount a Sanyo PLV-Z2 projector. It works great and I am very pleased now that it is up on the ceiling. The mount works by having little arms screwed into the middle that protrude out to the mounting holes on the projector. They do provide several short arms, several medium length, and several long ones. It can be tricky to select the correct lengths, since selecting ones that are too long cause them to interfere with each other.
It does not come with mounting screws, though they provide so many screws that it is probably possible to just use some of the extras. I used some of my own that I had lying around the house.

2. Truly a great, versatile projector flush mount. If you need a flush projector mount, your search can stop here - buy it! In the beginning, I've gone from wooden shelf; to a cheap nylon-and-aluminum pivot ball mount; and finally, to this Atdec mount. Would've been cheaper and must less aggravating if I had just purchased this projector mount from the very beginning. Keep a 6'' crescent wrench and an extra long-handled 6mm allen key wrench handy to aid in installation and adjustments.
