I'm considering the Hitachi CP X1250 LCD projector and could really use some insight from those who have experience with it. The specs say it has 4500 ANSI lumens, which sounds great for brightness, but how does that translate into actual picture quality in various lighting conditions?

I've read that XGA resolution (1024 x 768) is decent for presentations, but would it hold up for movies or more detailed visuals? How does the color accuracy fare?

On the sound side, what’s the built-in audio like? Is it sufficient for a small gathering, or would I need to invest in external speakers?

Lastly, any downsides to consider? I'm particularly curious about the longevity of the bulb and the overall reliability of the system. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
