Hey everyone. I'm considering investing in the NEC Display PJ-P525UL LCD Projector and could use some advice before I take the plunge. I'm particularly curious about the picture quality—how does the 1080p and 5200 lm brightness hold up in different lighting conditions? Is the WUXGA resolution really noticeable, especially for presentations or movie nights?

Also, I've read some good things about the sound quality. Does it deliver a decent audio experience, or will I need to supplement it with external speakers? I want to make sure that the sound matches the visual quality.

I’m also interested in hearing about the system's overall performance. Does anyone have experience with its longevity and reliability, especially with that impressive 20,000-hour lifespan?

Lastly, are there any downsides I should be aware of? Any quirks or features that might not live up to expectations? Your insights would be super helpful as I weigh my options!

Whoa, this projector is a monster! It’s way bigger than what we expected. We tried to send it back, still in the box and untouched, but there’s just no way it’s gonna fit anywhere. It’s been almost a week and we haven’t heard a peep from the seller about getting our money back for this pricey thing. Seriously, watch out if you’re thinking about buying it!
 
I'm really loving this projector! It's way quieter than my old one, which is a huge win. The picture quality is super sharp, too. Setting everything up—like zooming, adjusting the keystone, and aligning it with the screen—was a breeze.

Just a heads up though, the box it comes in is pretty big! I didn't check the dimensions before, so it caught me off guard a bit. But honestly, no issues at all. I totally recommend it!
