Price is 699 euros here in Finland. I think the price is pretty good for WXGA short throw projector but what about quality? My plan is to buy only one at first but i will expand to two or three projectors later. Any experiences about this product?

0.48 ratio....Pretty good!

Like all short throws with no zoom, placement is key!

I had on older infocus for 4 years, only warranty claim was the fan and that took 2 weeks to fix.

The native resolution seems a little low to me. I have a Infocus 800x600 projector that's been collecting dust in the attic for a few years now. I pulled it down about a year ago to see how it looked with a smallish (30") screen size. I ended up putting it back in the attic and getting a 26" 1900x1200 monitor. $825 will buy you a decent 1900x1080 42"-50" TV these days.

Problem is a decent TV can't give you the immersion of a 110" picture, or better yet, 22 linear ft with 180 degree viewing using three PJ's :)
