Pros:

Very good image quality, Very good outofthebox preset calibration, Able to produce large images with short projector/screen distance, 2 HDMI ver 1.3 Inputs Accepts 1080p/60 and 1080p/24, Extremely quiet in normal mode, fan noise is not audible.
Superb color fidelity, Converted 16:9 mode allows use of fixed anamorphic lens, Makes switching to 2.35:1 cheaper and easier

Cons:

Stylish, but odd physical design, large cabinet, Lackluster 1080p/24 performance, No separate DVI input (HDMI inputs can be used using DVI/HDMI Converter cable), Awkward sidemounted input connections, Pricey.
We said cheaper and easier, not cheap, and easy, Black levels could be deeper, Some frustrating control functions
