Pro A fairly long-lasting lamp
It has a lamp life of 4000 hours in Performance Mode. If you use it in Eco-Mode only, it will last up to 10 000 hours. In case the lamp dies or you want it to be as bright as new again, a replacement lamp costs $199.
Pro Works as a business projector
Though the TH670 is a great home cinema, it also does well as a business projector. It delivers a very detailed picture with clear content. Even very small black text (5-6 points) on a white background does not get blurry and can be read easily.
Pro Light and small
The projector weighs only 6.6 lbs, so it is easy to transport. It measures at 5.4 x 12.8 x 9.2 inches, making it is easy to store when you are not using the projector.
Pro 3D support
The projector has 3D support, though you will need to purchase suitable 3D glasses since they are not included.
Pro Back-lighting on the remote
The remote has back-lighting on its buttons. Since projectors are used in a dark room, this comes in handy.
Pro Low input lag for gaming
The input lag is 33.1 in game mode, 33.9 in cinema mode, and 35.2 if you turn on Brilliant Color. In other words, the projector is suitable for competitive gaming.
Pro Great built-in speakers
It has a 10W built-in speaker with clear and loud audio, so external speakers might not even be necessary in a small room.
Cons
Con Very large in size
Though for a home cinema, the projector size doesn't matter too much, the projector is huge, measuring W490 x H141 x D331 mm.
Con Complicated setup
There is no lens-shift for easier setup, so you have to be careful when first installing it in the room. Though it does have zoom-lens of 1.20:1.
Con Not great for 3D
If you want a great 3D experience, an inexpensive HD projector is not the best option. You will need a large picture size for a good 3D effect. TH670 will have a dim picture if you make the screen large and view it in 3D.
