This is a great projector. Here's what I like:
1) Bright, bright image. If you are thinking outdoor movies like I am, this one is a winner due to the brightness.
2) Great picture. I went straight for the good stuff and queued up some 1080P NFL videos. I wanted to see how fine the details looked when projected large, and I was certainly impressed. The ability of this projector to process motion is not as good as my plasma TV, but it performs well enough that I would not be the least bit embarrassed to host a super bowl party with this unit. The colors are outstanding. Good whites and blacks, and contrast is very good.
3) Right now, it is about the price point. At this same price point (currently $549) you can get the Optoma HD142X, which is a very popular 1080P projector. After reading reviews, I opted to stick with the ViewSonic brand. I don't think there exists any projector at this price point that is clearly a better choice. You could spend double or triple the money, but I'm not sure what that would really do for you. This unit is already great.
4) You can hear the speakers pretty well indoors, but don't expect too much.
Things not to like:
1) Kind of nitpicky, but there could be a cover for the lens.
2) You can definitely hear the fan while the unit is on.
3) Not a lot of inputs. The other ViewSonic at 1024 x 768 had more inputs and was therefore better-suited to giving presentations, since you could hook up just about anything. At 1080P, you should be thinking of this as more of a video projector than for presentations, although ViewSonic markets this unit as a cross-over projector that is good for both.
4) This is a DLP unit, so there is a chance someone may see the rainbow artifact. I personally have not seen it.
Other thoughts: I actually loved the 1024 x 768 projector in this series as well. I purchased it for backyard movies. It just bothered me that we would not be able to enjoy full 1080P on that projector. There is a slight bonus with the 1080P projector that I had not expected. The image is brighter, and the reason is not necesarily intuitive. Due to the wider aspect ratio, the projector sits slightly closer to the screen to fill up the entire width of the screen with the image....as a result of being slightly closer, the image is also slightly brighter. It is not by a huge amount, but it is noticeable. I had the two projectors side by side and the difference is real. The 1024 x 768 projector is still better than DVD quality and that is fine...but in the era of 4K TVs being the new standard, DVD-quality is now two generations behind. 1080P movies will be good enough for our household for years to come.
On an 84" wide pull-down screen (96" diagonal for 1080P 16:9 content), this projector is plenty bright. I have the screen mounted under the eaves on the south side of the house, so it gets sun all day long....but there is no need to wait for the darkest of the night to fire this up. Honestly, you could watch movies outside on a cloudy day. Inside the house, the brightness is never an issue.
I will update this review if the projector fails to provide good service.
Update 5/22/2017:
The only audio output is 3.5mm, so depending on what you want to do in terms of audio, that may be a factor for you. I recently upgraded to a Behringer B112W powered speaker so I have powerful portable sound to go with the projector, but it has no 3.5mm input. Most PA speakers do not. Not to fret, whoever, since there are adapters and converters aplenty to solve the problem of the mismatched projector output / speaker input. For my scenario, the 3.5mm stereo output has to be converted to 1/4" mono. Other option is to use aptx low-latency bluetooth transmitter in the 3.5mm projector audio output, since the speaker has built-in bluetooth receiver.
Main thrust of this update is this: You may want to pay attention to inputs/outputs available because your audio solution may be subject to change.
Update 6/10/2017:
Added a picture to show brightness of projector 36 minutes prior to sunset.
Another picture shows how Chromecast sits in the rear HDMI input, plus I have a Bluetooth transmitter hooked up in the 3.5mm audio output.
Update 2/9/2018:
I ran the projector for the Super Bowl out in the dining room as a second viewing option and we all ended up watching in the dining room for the entirety of the first half (probably because my wife put the food out there!), with the image projected very clearly directly onto the wall. My guests were thoroughly impressed with the picture quality and brightness. Around halftime, we all moved to the family room (60" LG plasma 1080p circa 2012) and the TV provides better image in almost every respect (fine detail, motion, and color accuracy), it is not quite the same as having the very large image that the projector provides, and in truth, the ViewSonic PJD7720 is not far behind in image quality.
I hope you found this review helpful.

1. It's BRIGHT. I mean, really bright. Even without an ambient light rejecting screen, it's easily bright enough to see in the daylight with all the windows open. However, I recently purchased an ambient light rejecting screen and the difference is noticeable, so if you're looking for an enormous TV-like-experience, this is where its at.
2. It's amazingly simple. There are so few ports, but the menu is ice and easy to understand. It's very user-friendly and, as near as I can tell, the remote works from practically all angles.
3. The color levels on this bad boy are fantastic. My sister, who knows absolutely nothing about projectors, wandered into my man cave and was stunned. It's a thing of absolute beauty. I'm not entirely sure HOW it's different, but trust me-- it is. Every color is bright and bold and clear, even, like I said, in the daylight.
4. Finally, the sound. It's very quiet. I know I've heard a great number of people complaining about the sound, so I was expecting some horrid roar. I can barely hear a low hum in the background, and I think it's almost rather comforting.
5. Last but not least-- the contrast levels. They're absolutely great, and I saw absolutely no hotspotting.
6. Okay I said the contrast levels were the last thing, but I forgot about the most important part-- the image. It's drop dead gorgeous. Previous projectors I've had struggled to get the right and left sides of the screen (or up and down) perfectly clear at the same time. Often, half the screen is slightly blurry. Not this one. It's perfectly clear on every part of my screen (I have a 115 inch ambient light rejecting screen) and I can't see any flaws whatsoever.
All in all, it's a great projector that I am very proud of myself for buying. It was easy to mount, connected easily to my Xbox One S and a soundbar, and works like an absolute charm. This one is going to last me a long, long time. The final thing that I can say is that after seven or so hours of research comparing all the factors, including comprehensive lists, fact checking, reviews, etc, that this is the best projector in this price range.
UPDATE: Been a year and a half, during which time I've put in close to five thousand hours on it. Still working great!
My Initial Review right after I installed it and ran it for a few times: "Good picture - very noisy fan. Wished I'd got a different model. The manual picture frame adjustment is minimal - about an inch. Have to adjust the frame size in the menu to fit the screen--every time we turn it on. The fan is always super loud. Not noticeable in most movies but when it gets quiet I hear it. We have a 5.1 sound system so I don't need to use the onboard speaker. But it runs anyway and I have to mute it each time (more of an issue with the sound system). Overall it's an okay projector with too many faults. And the 3200 lumens seems questionable. We end up sitting in a dark room to get the best picture. My old 2000 lumen projector was not so finicky with light in the room."

I've had the PJD7720HD Full HD Home Cinema Projector for about 3 weeks now- so far it is amazing (but I'll aim to update my review after 6 months). I was thinking for a long time which projector to pick and at first considered the much more expensive laser projectors. However, I decided to give the ViewSonic a go and this was a very good decision! The projector is very easy to set up. I use it on a cream wall and image looks beautiful even in super eco mode (so I mainly use the super eco mode). Surprisingly, PJD7720HD has also a very good speaker. I was thinking of buying a sound system but with this one I don't really need to. To summarise, the main perks are: very good value for money!, bright with a nice colour range (you can have a good picture quality with ambient light so perfect for casual home cinema), a decent speaker, 3D function (I didn't use it yet), smart design. The things that you might want improved: this projector model doesn't have a short throw function, which is a main minus for me living in a small flat; you can hear the fan (but as soon as you play a movie- you can't really spot it); apart from that -really great experience. I will be revisiting after 6 months to give you an update. Enjoy! :)
