Well, it is bright enough to be used on a modest sized screen at nighttime, but... It is NOT an HD projector, so it will NOT show an HD picture. It is an XGA machine (1024x768) so it will be scaling HD material down. Both 720p (1280x720) and 1080p (1920x1080) will be shown as 1024x576 - which will still look nicer than DVD's 852x480, but for the price of the D300 (around $900) it isn't that big a leap to a 720p unit. For outdoor HD watching, either the Panny PT-AX200U or Optoma HD71 is your best bang/buck proposition.

Dear Forum Members, I am new here but have experience with using forums before. I am looking for the Samsung D300 which this post is about. I found this review here by PrinceofPwnage in which he paid $799 for it: http://www.projectorcentral.com/part_opinions_details.cfm?opinion_id=11893 How do I contact this member or search him in the database? All the best, Studio17
