Well, first let me start by saying the z5 was my first venture into projectors, and i was INCREDIBLY worried about how it would perform in an ambient light. I tried to research it as much as possible, but no matter how much research you do, only you yourself can judge. I personally was extremely happy with my z5 (Remember that this is my first and i have no real basis to judge it against.)

I took pictures for nearly every lighting situation possible in my apartment, the most important thing in my apartment is keeping the sun light out, the lights don't really hurt TOO much, but the sun light really seemed to kill the picture.
Just have a browse through those, taking special note of the Xbox pictures, if you look at the titles it indicates what lights are on, with me being able to read PERFECTLY the screen still looks great. All though with lights on conditions (every light in my apartment) you can start to see a decline. I don't know if the pictures do it justice, but i was extremely happy with my z5 and i am in the process of building a screen(Silver Fire Mix) to enhance its performance in the light.
The pictures of the PJ are taken projecting on to a Field Gray Laminate( See Laminate thread for more information)
*Disclaimer*
I am in no way shape or form as knowledgeable as others on this boards regarding projectors, this is simply my opinion and my experiences with my z5. Hope the pictures help
