It's the real thing. Brightest projector of the big players. Great reviews - wonderful picture. In the $3000 range it's the best. 3D and extras. Works great. Reason I'm selling - moving on to 4K. 2 1/2 yrs. old - 1 1/2 yrs. of warranty left. Ready for the BIG SCREEN ???? This it. Serious inquiries please. Victoria BC. Rick
