If you are looking to break into the 1080p projector territory, this is an excellent projector! I've had the chance to use my 6100 now for a few weeks, and it definitely doesn't disappoint. Image quality is fantastic, and the colors are great too (when configured correctly). I've been using mine with the HDMI output of a Harman Kardon AVR-254 7x50W 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater.
Pros:
* This sucker is BRIGHT. I am amazed at how nice it looks even with ambient light.
* Minimal screen door, as should be expected for a 1080p projector.
* The expanded color mode is beautiful, and works quite well.
* Contrast ratio is good, but don't believe the 18000:1. It is still remarkably good for a
Cons:
* I haven't figured out why yet, but sometimes the projector loses focus. It could be vibrations from traffic nearby, kids playing upstairs, or the startup sequence, but the focus definitely needs to be tweaked from time to time. If you plan to mount your projector where it is not easily accessible, I would go so far as to suggest a different projector.
* If you have an HDMI source, it doesn't seem to allow you to change the aspect ratio and zoom options. This gets kind of annoying when watching a letterboxed 4:3 source, because you can't zoom in on the smaller image frame -- you are stuck with the combined letterboxing and pillarboxing.
* The lens shift feature is excellent, but beware the limitations -- you can't shift fully in all directions. When shifting far to the left or right, you can't also shift fully up or down. And if you are shifting near to the center point, it becomes difficult to tweak the shift because it wants to lock in on the center point.
* A number of the color mode seem useless and blown out in the out-of-the-box settings. I haven't adjusted much to try out the other settings....
All in all, I'm incredibly happy, as I couldn't spend more on a higher-end projector, and this gave me almost everything I wanted. For a five star home theater rating, you'll probably need to spend at least $1000 more...

This projector is Awesome. It replaced a Sharp projector that I was in love with for 3 years, and this blows it out of the water... Dual HDMI inputs, razor sharp resolution, EXTREMELY bright if you want it to be means daytime viewing is no problem.
This thing is BIG and a bit of a beast, but that just makes me feel even more that I got what I paid for. Happy camper here.

I have about a month of experience with the Epson 6100, and I'm thrilled. It replaces an Infocus 4805 that is about five years old. The 4805 has 2800 hours on the lamp, and the light tunnel is faulty causing a yellow smear down the left side of the screen. I had a few bucks set aside for a new projector, and between the great reviews I read, the long lamp life, and the $100 and spare lamp rebate, I pulled the trigger.
I opted for free shipping, and thank you Amazon, I got delivery in three days. The first impression was how huge this thing is. It's twice the size of the 4805. In fact, it's about as big as my Pioneer Elite receiver. It didn't fit in the tight little space next to the couch the old projector occupied. I knew I'd need a ceiling mount, but for the time being I jury rigged a platform. My only high resolution source is a Fios HD box. The HD image looked good through the 480P Infocus, but I was blown away by the bright, sharp, colorful image the 6100 produced right out of the box. I'm using analog component cables for now. Sports like baseball, football and the U.S. Open tennis are spectacular. Movies on standard definition DVDs are exceptional. I have a Marantz DV 6400 multi-player which is a very nice machine. I can't wait to see what Blu-ray looks like through the 6100.
I got the Vantage Point ceiling mount which makes a big difference. The mount has a six inch extension that works well on my sloped Cape Cod ceiling. It's a solidly built mount the supports this big guy very well. The 6100 has great placement flexibility with it's up and down, and right to left lens shift. The image fills my 72" wide screen from about ten feet, and can go much bigger. I changed the settings to those recommended by one of the reviews I read, which cut down the brightness a bit, and warmed the colors. This is a very impressive machine for a reasonable price. With the spare lamp, I hope to have it well into my golden years. If I could give it ten stars I would.
