They say it's a bit less bright than the 3M MPRo-120, it has a tendency to 'lose details' in dark areas, and it's got a 'rainbow effect' which is annoying. And the speakers are very poor. But overall they are happy with the quality of the image (for around 25" images in a totally dark room, or a 15" image in typical ambient light).

The PK-102 is selling now for 249$ in the US.
