How it sucks
10 months ago @ AmazonI would never buy a movie projector or TV that is not 1080p in this day and age. But for powerpoint, this unit does a good job. The only reason I did not give it a higher score is for the lack of zoom function.
10 months ago @ AmazonThe lack of zoom means I had to reposition the unit around the room, but it's not that bad. I never used it for movies, so I am not sure how good it is for that. I would probably invest on a higher end model for movies.
10 months ago @ AmazonI thought the remote would be able to forward the screen shots, PowerPoint slides etc, instead ... the remote is for adjusting the picture/screen. I thought this was strange and am hoping I am just missing something, however I looked through the users guide several times and also asked 2 other people to do the same.
10 months ago @ AmazonI bought this to do presentations becase my boss won't buy me one. So I was going on the cheap when it comes to my own money. I was expecting some barely servicable unit for the price.
12 months ago @ AmazonLightweight (a little big, but not bad). My only gripe is there is no zoom lense, so you need to move the projector back and forth to get it to fit the screen.
11 months ago @ AmazonNow having used it several times I will agree that for the money this is a great performer. I have not used it for watching DVD's yet but for Powerpoint presentations, with photographs it was excellent. Plenty of resolution and the brightness of the images easily allowed presentations in full sunlight.
9 months ago @ AmazonEven the whites still look good on the yellow wall. only downside, is that there is no direct HD componet input. There is S-video and standard video jacks, but in order to get HD, you will need to buy a special cable that converts from the component video on one end to the monitor connection.
How it doesn't
11 months ago @ AmazonIt is easy to use and the quality is great for doing our PowerPoints and Internet education videos. I have used a more expensive projector in the past and I truly like this one better. I highly recommend this product.
11 months ago @ AmazonThe screen is 9 1/2 feet wide and I love it. For the price I'm rather surprised by how good the picture quality is. After seeing the results I drove down to the hardware store, framed the sheet in with some wall trim, everyone thinks I had it professionally done...lol.
11 months ago @ AmazonUnbelievable for the price. Couldn't ask for more -- even my techie friends were amazed and ready to turn in their high end projectors for this great little machine. I use it for showing DVDs of movies for family and friends and it's perfect for that.
11 months ago @ AmazonWell, I was looking for a big screen tv and this projector has definitely done the trick. After reading the reviews on the over 100 inch projector screens I opted to "Do it myself" first.
9 months ago @ AmazonThe best low price pro projector on the market. I would suggest the Viewsonic projector to anyone who is looking for a great movie and video game experience, plus daily TV use though it is good to still have a traditional set for daytime viewing.
10 months ago @ AmazonI was very pleasantly surprised. It actually have 3 preset brightness settings, which helps to preserve the bulb. It is sharp and totally awsome on the brightest setting.
10 months ago @ AmazonI bought the Atdec telehook mount and it has worked great. So anyone looking for a great start to a new theater this is bi far the best bet.
12 months ago @ AmazonFor the price, this is a great buy. Super bright, clear picture.
11 months ago @ AmazonI needed a video projector for a presentation I was making and found this one relatively inexpensive yet having great reviews.
9 months ago @ AmazonI received my projector earlier today and I love it already!
9 months ago @ AmazonOverall, I am very happy with this projector. Great price.
11 months ago @ AmazonHigh definition videos look terrific. Great buy and definitely recommend.
12 months ago @ AmazonGot it to enhance my movie watching experience and it is working great! Small, light-weight, perfect.
10 months ago @ AmazonThis is my first projector that I have owned and I do have to say for the money it is bi-far the best one I have seen. I have friends with 2,000 and up projectors and fancy inhouse movie theaters and with the little cost of this one I have had a hard time comparing the two, since they are so close.
10 months ago @ AmazonIt performs very well and has a crystal clear image!
11 months ago @ AmazonI'm looking at it now watching "No country for old men" and it looks terrific.
9 months ago @ AmazonThe latter is obviously my fault, but overall this is an amazing value for an outstanding projector. Highly recommended!!!
9 months ago @ AmazonBought with free shipping and it came in under a week. Unit is very easy to use and comes with male to male monitor cable for hooking up to laptop or desktop.
10 months ago @ AmazonIt is very very quiet, and there is hardly any difference between normal & eco-bulb saving mode. If you're on the fence and don't have an additional $[...], I would recommend this projector.
