sony VPL-CS5 Good or Bad?

does any one have any idea what the Sony vpl-cs5 projector is like i have a chance at getting one fairly cheaply.

2nd hand values?

, i have seen its native resoluton as been 800x600. max been 1024x768 does this mean it will output at the more DVD friendly 1024x768.

its from a firm who may have used it a couple of days thats it.

If you are getting it cheap enough then go for it, I used to have a VPL-CS1 which sounds like it a similar spec and it got me started off.

It's a business class PJ, so expect to see a little screen door if you are sitting too close and the blacks won't be great, but you should have good bright picture. I kept mine for a couple of years and I loved it.
