I've had a few of them. The contrast is good, as is the fill ratio. The colorwheel is slow though, but I'm not sure if that bothers you. The uniformity is mediocre, and reds are not particularly good (much like most low cost DLP units). It's calibrated for presentations, not home theater, so when you calibrate it for HT, the contrast and brightness drop. Reasonably good machine for the price though. I guess it depends on whether you like DLP or not.
