ViewSonic’s quiet and cool PRO9000 home theater projector impressed us with faithful color output, impressive brightness, and total absence of rainbow effect. It also offers one of the brightest backlit remotes we’ve ever seen. At around $2900, the PRO9000 earns its keep, but if 3D or lens-shifting capability is more important to you than a 20,000 hour lamp life, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
