LG PF1500 LED Full HD Projector

I've had my PF1500 for about a week now, and love it. I am upgrading from an LG 75U which I've had for the past 2 and a half years and this new one is a very noticeable improvement. The image quality on a 100 inch Elite acoustically transparent screen is gorgeous. The picture is bright, sharp and detailed, with vibrant colors. I just got through watching Avatar on blu ray tonight and I found myself saying "wow!" many times while enjoying the picture and sound. One of the improvements from the 75U to the 1500 is the addition of an optical digital audio output. Both projectors have a built in OTA digital tuner, but I never made use of the one in the 75U because there was no way to get the digital audio signal out of the projector and into my pre amp processor to run through my 7.2 channel surround sound. I ran a 25 ft Toslink cable from the 1500 to one of the preamp's digital inputs and get the full quality Dolby Digital signal from the tuner in the 1500. It works perfectly and the quality of the picture from the OTA antenna is frequently better than my Uverse cable offers. And of course, the OTA signal..and I receive 47 digital channels in my community...is free. The throw distance of the 1500 is very close to the same as the 75U. The zoom feature that the 1500 adds helps to fine tune the picture size, but not by much. Just make sure you mount the projector the proper distance from your screen to get the image size you are looking for. I have it ceiling mounted, and the projector sensed it's upside down orientation and set the picture appropriately for it so the image is rightside up on the screen. The projector does have a larger app complement than my old one, but I really don't make use of that since I have a Roku 3 attached which I love and am used to. I haven't tried all of the features yet, I've been so enamored of the picture quality that I've spent my time trying out different movies and video sources on it. It's comforting knowing that while I'm using it, my light source has a projected life of 30,000 hours so I don't have to worry about a bulb losing it's brightness and then burning out and having to be replaced. One additional point of interest. The 1500 comes with one "magic remote", which is rf (radio frequency) or blue tooth or some combination of the two, rather than infrared. However, it DOES have an ir receiver built in so that you can use an IR remote from an earlier LG projector if you'd like, or one of the many multi device remotes like the Logitech Harmony ones. I find myself using the ir remote that came with my LG 75u instead of the magic remote that came with the 1500. They both work fine, but I just prefer the IR one, probably because I got so used to it with my previous projector and I can use it in the dark just by feel.
