Question: No lens shift. Will I still be able to place this projector towards the ceiling (not mounting it upside down) on a platform and project it downwards?
Document: If you focus it at the dead center, though, it will be a little soft in the corners. Ideally, try to get the best focus about 1/3 of the way from the center to the left or right edges"3. Mounting height adjustment: This one is rather basic..... but can get tricky if you are suspicious whether your ceiling is straight (parallel to the ground) or is sloping down or up as it heads towards the projection wall.
One of the reviewers was right about the mount holes being small and awkward. The universal mount that I also bought here on amazon didn't fit it, and I really had to make shift a solution. The holes are really close together and I was only able to get 2 legs to mount. "The bottom line" is that the minor bads on this projector aren't BAD. Price taken into consideration this projector is A NO BRAINER!
I think this is a great projector for the money. I haven't had a chance to watch 3D movies on it yet, but so far I'm really impressed. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because there is no lens shift.
Very pleased with this projector. We set it up in the living room, typically on weekends, so it's a temporary as opposed to a permanent installation. Without lens shift, there's a bit of out-of-squareness of the picture due to the angle from the table I use, but I just overshoot the white on the screen a bit and then really can't tell the difference.
I've been using this projector for a few weeks now with no major complaints.A few things you should note:The vertical throw is pretty high. To give you a rough idea the bottom of the projected image aligns with the lens. You can obviously change the vertical throw in the settings, but you can shift it only about 10 notches down whereas you can shift it at least 40 notches up. I can't remember the exact number of the top of my head...
So in the end I created a cardboard cradle that I could rest it upside down on. I can't use a ceiling mount where I set it up. Fortunately there are no vents on the top of the projector to cover.Another thing. As mentioned in another review, with the image focused in the center the edges and most noticeably the corners are slightly out of focus.
Haven't used ceiling mounts before so maybe it's not such an issue with those if they let you tilt it forward/backward easily enough.- Remote control is BRIGHT. This is a minor picky point but I think it's way too bright and can ruin the mood.- Changing the volume brings up a large white image which can shift your contrast and ruin your black levels while it's displayed.
It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles and it doesn't seem like their is a lot of adjustment options (I've only played with it for about a week and haven't felt like I needed to adjust it much). Make sure you do a little research on that, if that's important for you! Lens shift would have been nice, and limits where you can mount it.
*picture quality is also awesome*there isn't much image offset that I've seen but we don't plan on permanently mounting it so it's not a big deal for us. We can adjust it old school with some books! *no lens cap, which is a bummer, but not a deal killer. *and it's quiet tooThat about all I can comment on so far.
I'm completely happy with this projector. It looks great with a 3 bulb ceiling light on during the day. Turn the lights out and put Economy mode on and you're perfectly fine. Menu navigation takes a bit to get used to, and one first run adjustment I had to make was to zoom all the way out using the remote, not the lens control. It was zoomed way out so the image took up a massive wall from 13 feet away.
Answer: No. It has to be mounted upside down if near the ceiling.
