I'm considering the Panasonic PT-CX300U DLP Projector and would love some insights before making a purchase. I've read that it offers 720p resolution, which seems decent, but I'm curious about how the picture quality holds up in different lighting conditions. Do colors pop, and how is the clarity?

Sound quality is another area I'm concerned about. I know projectors often come with basic speakers, but does this one provide a satisfying audio experience, or will I need to invest in an external sound system?

Also, I’d appreciate any thoughts on the system performance. Is it user-friendly, and does it support various input options? Lastly, what are some potential downsides to this model that I should be aware of?

Thanks for your help!
