Hey everyone,

I'm considering the NEC Display NP-U300X 3D Ready DLP Projector for my home setup and would love some advice from those who might have experience with it. I'm particularly curious about the picture quality—how does the 1080p resolution hold up in different lighting conditions? I've seen mixed reviews on DLP projectors, so any insights on color accuracy and sharpness would be great.

Also, sound quality is a big factor for me. Does it come with decent built-in speakers, or would you recommend investing in external sound systems? I want to ensure a fully immersive experience, especially with its 3D capabilities.

Lastly, I’d appreciate any thoughts on the overall system. Are there any quirks or downsides I should be aware of before making a purchase? Does it integrate well with other devices via HDMI or USB?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your insights!
