Yes, Virginia, there are some gotchas to ViewSonic's $399 projector. For one, that price the company is touting is after a mail-in rebate. The expected MSRP is $599, but after the street price discounting and the rebate, the company expects consumers to only have to pay $399 net.
That's not too shabby--even if it is only for an SVGA 800-by-600 resolution projector. The PJ503D carries a brightness rating of 1500 lumens, and lacks the optical zoom features you'd find in other models.
