800 Lumens are a bit low. Expect to be in a totally dark room. I personally have never heard of this brand, But the specs look like a rather decent entry level projector.

I could be wrong but from a quick search looks as the MSRP should be $2,999.00
and the ANSI Lumens 1000 .

Pal.
But isn't PAL only 24.99 or 25 frames per second ? Can't find if this can convert a NTSC source?

This post is a review of Studio Experience Premier 30HD DLP Projector 1024 x 576 Resolution
OK, I can answer the questions.
first of all, Studio Experience is a company that tweaks and rebrands existing projectors made by other companies. This might be an NEC unit. Usually ,they are of good quality. This is not a "third-party" or off-brand by any means. Back in it's day, it was a respected brand.
It's worth the price, but it is an outdated model, I'd expect a little lower price. But you can't go wrong since it's new not refurb and has a 3 year warranty. I'd buy it if I needed one and had a low budget.
1024x576 is not a weird resololution at all, nor is it PAL. Let me explain....
This projector has an XGA DLP chip with a 1024x768 res. When you select 16:9 mode on these projectors, then only 576 pixels on the y axis are used. So this projector simply locks in that mode to create a lower cost 16:9 chip. 16:9 chips that were 720p were very expensive at that time. If you think it won't give you a good picture, you are mistaken. I watch 1080i content on my NEC LT150 with the same resolution and it looks great. Yes, you can see a big difference in the higher resolutions, even though the projector cannot resolve the resolution of the source material fully. And yes, this needs a dark room for optimum contrast, but any projector needs a dark room to look it's best. I don't care what they do to it or how bright they make it, a dark room is a must for front projection if you care about image quality. The bright ones are for sports bars where ambient light is necessary. I hope this helps.
