Hello,
I'm new and hope I'm not beating any dead horses with my question. I did search and nothing, so...

Anyone know anything about the Viewsonic PJ766d projector? It was given to me by my boss and I am considering setting up a Home Theatre with it. Is it even worthwhile with this projector? I'm sure it's obvious with my questions, but I am a novice with HD, any advice is much appreciated.

No one has one I guess. Let me try a different tact.

Would someone that knows about these things please check the specs and let me know if it's worthwhile with this projector? This stuff is all greek to me.

It's a below average projector for home theater, but its **FREE** so how can it be a bad deal? I would try to sell it and get a home theater projector though.
