859	Projector	POS	5	make a skirt out of black material and this screen be a great addition to you home theater . great inside , outside , and you can take it with you ! be warn , this thing be huge , you will need a van or large suv to transport it . great screen if you need one for multiple purpose : Poolside , outside , DJ , home theater .
933	Projector	NEU	3	i give it a 3 star because : it need total darkness to be clear . a bit inconvenient for that reason : all what i need it for be to present in class usually during morning time therefore didnt really help I . also , for a artist i need that sharpness when present text or image . it be clear but wasnt as sharp as i hope for . however , I love that I have it , its good for present and personal use -lrb- large screen movie night -rrb- - maybe . however , my rating be base on how this device meet my own requirement \/ expectation . its about 50 '' wide . you need to buy the hook-up to what you want to hook it up to . but it be pretty easy to do so & find .
607	Projector	POS	4	I be pleasantly surprise at this unit . it be not perfect , but for what it be it be great . first , the picture , and most important part of this unit . the picture be great . sure it be not as god as a big display unit , but for its compact size it work great . unfortunately there be not any picture control that I could find except for focus , so the picture you get be what you get . color be a little dull , but that might have to do with the darkness in the room too . it also have a build in speaker which be not the loudest , but better than nothing . you can always connect external speaker . the focus dial be great and I be able ego get the image very crisp at a large size , and smaller one . the unit itself be very light . definitely build for on the go . it have a little pop out stand that really do not raise the unit much and be almost useless . the include tripod be much better and work great once you get the leg at the right angle . the lack of extra feature make it very easy to use with on\/off\/volume controls\/focus , and that be about it . it do get warm pretty fast so you do want to use the tripod . it come with a bunch of accessory include outlet for various plug type , video cable , a case . you can use the VGA cable to connect you computer which also have a audio plug connect to it , so no need to have a separate cable . I also try the iPod\/iPad connector and it work fantastic . I be even able to play purchase video from iTunes , which I do not expect . I be not sure if every model come with the connector or if it be a extra buy on . while this unit be pricey , it be cheaper than a full size unit and definitely perfect for the person on the go with the light weight . this really be a nice unit .
443	Projector	NEG	2	basic construction and design leave a lot to be desire . do not fit larger projector use in most media room today .
711	Projector	POS	4	this projector be a great value . good surprise : easy to set up , phenomenally bright , resolution be just fine . bad surprise : noticeable fan noise , poor black level . some extra thing that work well for I : use this background paper as a very inexpensive and high quality screen :  Savage Seamless Background Paper , 107 '' wide x 12 yard , Super White , # 1  but it be way too bright for night-time , no matter the bulb or contrast setting , so I use these gel :  Lowel Neutral density nd-3 gel Filter Set for the pro and i-Light System , five 5 '' x 6 '' sheet .  the gel frame swing out of the way for daytime viewing . the gel also improve night-time black level , but it be still obviously gray . it be a lcd , after all .
446	Projector	POS	5	Universal , easy to install and quite stable . install last year , it move about 1 inch in one year , so I adjust it in one second . actually it could be my home that move ... it be the best quality \/ price item that I could find and I be very happy I buy it instead of have the projector at reach for the kid .
840	Projector	POS	5	I purchase this projector in August of 2011 and enjoy use it to project on my ceiling at night , and when the power go out in all of southern californium last summer , I and my roommate be able to watch netflix on this baby . just recently in February or so it stop project all three color so the hue be a very red color and no adjustment would change it , and then it would power off after 45 seconds or so . I contact the company who get back to I within 24 hour and have I RMA the unit back to they . they let I email they my tracking number and immediately send out a brand new unit . they even let I keep all the accessory include the battery of the original unit . I get the new projector within 4 or 5 day of the initial rma request . this company really stand behind they product , and for that I be extremely impressed . the projector unit itself have a pretty decent picture for such a small device . my battery life be somewhere from 35-40 minute on the brightest setting , but i can easily plug it in while project to watch as long as i would like . the one caveat be that it must be almost completely dark in the room for a larger picture . but once it be dark , i can project a entire wall with the image with pretty dang fine clarity .
511	Projector	NEG	2	I order this item after read the review on Amazon of how the product be a great value . well , the product material seem good . the electric version -lrb- the one I order -rrb- have a nice convenience of be able to roll up the screen if need . but , the screen curl at the edge -lrb- the black part of the screen side -rrb- . unfortunately , these curl part also extend to the white surface -lrb- actual screen area -rrb- , so the edge of the image be distort . I guess you get what you pay for . if you want a distortion-free image , stay away from this product . after one week of use , I see more image distortion , so the surface be definitely not flat ! for a classroom or boardroom , this product would work well , but for a home theater application , it fall WAY short . UPDATE : I could not take the screen uniformity problem -lrb- curl and wave -rrb- , so have to return it for another brand . well worth the extra $ 84 for a elite screen !
105	Projector	POS	5	this be a great product . it do just what we need it to do as we go out into the community to do presentation . the price be awesome for the product we receive .
662	Projector	NEG	1	the projector be nice while it last . I have only have this thing for a year and the screen be start to look like a star field . no it be not dust , as I have clean out the projector think the same thing . apparently it be the chip . I only discover this after google `` white spot pk201 . '' I do not recomend this product .
654	Projector	POS	4	as you can see from the close-up product picture , the screen have 2 keyhole on either end for wall installation . what you do not see be that the hole be difficult to access . the product ship with 2 bolt that be anchor into the wall first . the anchor be a flimsy type and you have to be careful when you tighten they . the anchor have a threaded end . the screen be then push over the bolt in the wall and secure with 2 nut . this be the part that take I about a hour to complete , and you hear I swearing quite a bit . I use a wrench and pliers to tighten the nut on the anchor bolt , but because the opening on the end of the screen body be so small , I could turn the nut only about 1\/2 notch with either tool . once it be up , thing be much better , and I be please with the overall result .

399	Projector	POS	4	my wife want a dual alarm clock with a red display because red be suppose to be less disruptive to sleep . the good : very large , clear , bright , red display the radio have surprisingly good reception and sound very good when listen to news . I have not try listen to music but it be probably a little lack in bass response . the user interface be about as intuitive as it could be give its large number of feature and the manual be also good . large project time . on a surface 6 foot away , the number be 10 '' high battery backup allow the alarm to wake you even if the power be off the bad : this clock be not a `` atomic '' clock that receive very accurate time signal from government transmitter . it be simply preset to the correct time at the factory and be run on its battery backup when you get it so you might have to fine tune the time anyway . this also mean that , the next time congress change when daylight saving time be , which last change in 2007 , this clock 's automatic setting of daylight savings time will be wrong . fortunately , this feature can be turn off . the two brightness setting only change the display on the clock and not the project time . there be very little perceive difference between the two brightness setting and I think both be too bright for nighttime use . I think the project time be a little too bright and this be not adjustable and in some orientation of the projector you get a slightly distracting glare of the project light off the lens at the top of the projector . although you can focus the project time , my clock can not get all the number in sharp focus at the same time . this be a bit annoying but the projector be still very usable . the backup battery be cr2450 which cost over $ 7 dollar at Radio Shack and about $ 5 from Amazon . you can get they cheaper through Amazon from third party but I always wonder if those be counterfeit . the battery should last for year if the clock be keep plug in so this be not a huge issue . I wish they have use a pair of aa 's instead . although the project time can be rotate 180 degree , it can not be rotate 90 degree so if the clock be on a night stand at the side of you bed and the main display be face you , number project on the ceiling be 90 degree off from where you would like they . the unusual : I buy this clock after read the review that it be too bright . I figure , be a electrical engineer , I could modify the clock and either make the dim setting dimmer or add a light sensor that adjust the brightness base on room light . I be , with the addition of 6 part that can be find at Radio Shack , able the change the dim setting into a automatic setting that dim the clock nicely when the room be dark . the brightness of the dim setting could also have be change by change the value of a single component . the modification fall into the category of do not try this at home unless you know what you be do . I could not find a clock that already have this feature even though I have a clock from 1980 that do . I could not get into the projector to dim that so I just color the lens with a sharpie to make it dimmer . have take the clock apart , I would say it be reasonably well make and it even have a adjustment for the accuracy of the backup time so it may be reasonably accurate when leave unplugged . overall , I would recommend this clock if you do not mind the bright display .
231	Projector	POS	4	my mother-in-law need a portable projector for a string of upcoming presentation she be go to be do . the requirement be simple : it need to be portable , it need to be affordable , and it need to be simple . this little guy be all that and more packed into a incredibly small package . the image it throw be crystal clear , and it be plenty bright to throw a 6 ' image up on a moderately dim room . the compact size and durability of the LED light source make it ideally suit for travel . the price be remarkable , at least in my eye , when throw up against less-portable , xeon-bulb counterpart in the same price range . in term of simplicity , a single hdmus - -rrb- Mini DisplayPort cable -lrb- not include -rrb- provide idiot-proof connectivity to she Macbook pro . there be only two con that I find noteworthy . 1 -rrb- the case that it come with be something of a joke . it be a thin neoprene zipper bag , just big enough to fit the projector . not the power brick and its cable . not the signal cable of any size or stripe . just the projector . and not very adequately pad for a expensive , relatively delicate piece of hardware . it just seem to be a worthless gesture to include a ill-suited bag . to remedy this , I pick up a  Lowepro Adventura 140 Camera Case  its not perfect ; i could stand with it be a inch bigger in any or all direction , but it hold the projector -lrb- in its include bag -rrb- , power brick and cable , and the hdmus - -rrb- minidp cable snugly , securely , and safely . the bag be well padded and come with a pair of movable divider for organize . if you do want to use this bag with this projector , I recommend remove one of the divider , as with both of they in there , it get too cramped . 2 -rrb- the tripod mount be worthless . actually , dangerous be probably a better term . give the projector 's size , it seem perfectly suit to be mount atop a normal camera tripod , and come with a mount that dubiously suggest such capability . the problem be that the mount be not structural . its just a hole mold into the bottom of the case , with a threaded brass insert wedge into it . typically you want to tighten down camera -lrb- or projector -rrb- to tripod ; do so with this projector will do nothing but pull the brass insert out of its hole . if you be to trust this , and not to notice the precariousness of the situation , bump the tripod the wrong way , or assume you could pick the tripod up with the projector attach could have disastrous result . -lrb- for those not follow : the projector would detach from the tripod , leave the threaded insert behind , still securely attach to the tripod . gravity would do the rest . -rrb- I have no remedy for this , as it be a structural problem , a design flaw if you will . it could be remedy by Acer use a better threaded insert , or even better , use a insert with a plate that would be secure to the inside of the case some how , which appear to be how most digital camera work . this would allow the torque and force of the tripod to be spread across more area of the casing , without much impact to the design of the projector . bottom line , this be a great little projector ; just plan on pick up a decent bag to keep all its necessaries together , and do not try mount it to a tripod .
462	Projector	NEG	1	just like another person say , this product be garbage . I buy the 120 ft screen . I install it -lrb- pay someone to do this -rrb- and roll it down to start view a picture on it . the screen look great and I be happy until it be time to roll it back up . the retract mechanism do not work and my screen wont roll up no matter what I try . now Amazon want I to pay to ship this back and its look like it will cost a fortune due to its size . such a headache !!!!!!!!
106	Projector	NEG	2	this unit be outstanding if you do not mind spend $ 300 every quarter on new bulb . I use pt-ae900 for less than 3 month -lrb- less than 400 hour -rrb- w \/ normal picture setting and fan speed ... and then the bulb burn out . Panasonic 's tech support line be joke . I spend one hour try to get a human be on the phone who could process my warranty . I speak with five people and only one mention 3 months\/500 hour warranty for the bulb . however , he be in commercial area not consumer and tell I to call yet another number . the bulb be suppose to last around 3,000 hour but in my case it last six time less . if you plan on use this projector as you primary video output , do not waste you money and spend a little more for a plasma . at $ 1,999 this unit be a bargain until its real cost catch up - a additional $ 1,200 per year .

I can not give the unit 5 star because I do not really have any way to compare it with other projector . the store around here that sell projector do not have they on display like the big screen tv 's . the advantage of a projector be obvious ; small size , large picture , cost -lrb- $ 1,000 vs. $ 2,000 or more for big screen tv -rrb- . the projector bulb do need to be replace every 2000 to 3000 hour at cost of around $ 300 . I have the projector down the basement where it be fairly dark . I originally project the image on a wall . I experiment with different type of paint and find that flat white be about the best . DO NOT use gloss white paint ! later I purchase a inexpensive screen that be slightly better than a white wall . the control on the 76c be very easy to use . several feature that I like on the unit include the two different light setting ; the low setting be for dark room -lrb- like my basement -rrb- and the high setting be for well light room . also , the low setting will extend bulb life . there be two ring on the projector , one for focus and one for image size . if you go with a projector , make sure you get one with xga resolution -lrb- 1024 x 768 -rrb- -lrb- like the 76c -rrb- which have almost twice the pixel as svga -lrb- 800 x 600 -rrb- .

643	Projector	NEG	1	8\/16\/11 : I have now enter the 21st century with this alarm clock ! it have so many wonderful feature ! first , the number be nice and large , so it be easy for this Baby Boomer to read ! it also have a projection feature that project the time on the ceiling ! so I do not have to look at the clock to see what time it be , just take a look at the ceiling ! second , it have a automatic time zone feature . in program mode , select the number that correspond to you time zone and voilum ! it automatically set it for the time and date ! Third , it have two separate alarm . depend on the type of wake-up call you want , you can set alarm 1 for a gentle wake-up call -lrb- soothing sound for example or easy listening -rrb- and alarm 2 for those urgent , immediate wake-up call on the day you have to get to work asap . and you have you choice of soothing sound : bird chirp & chime , ocean wave , etc. . you can program the alarm to set off 7 day a week , Mondays-Fridays only , or weekend only . that be a great feature so you do not get wake up to you favorite Heavy Metal station on the weekend ! it have a backup battery system that will still wake you up even if you have a power outage during the night . my favorite feature be the `` Sleep '' feature , in which you can set the clock to play soothing sound for 60 - 99 minute . this help to put I and my little pre-school son to sleep . it shut off after the alloted time . the instruction be easy to read and follow , although you do have to read they to figure out the feature . 8\/19\/11 UPDATE : I have be force to lower my rating from 5 star to 3 . I guess that be why this clock be only $ 29.99 . after about 3 day , it start to do some wonky thing . I be use the `` Sleep '' feature to play the soothing sound mode and that have stop work . when I press it , the display alternately flash the time and a radio station . I keep have to play with it until I can at least get the soothing sound to play . it have a very long , thin wire antenna which could easily break off , so that be not so great . alarm 1 seem not to work all the time . I keep refer to the instruction to reset the `` Sleep '' feature and alarm 1 , and I do everything step by step , yet the `` Sleep '' feature do not work and alarm 1 be iffy . the instruction be not very good when you be try to troubleshoot . too bad , because the feature be really nice on the clock ... if only they would keep work . 9\/2\/11 UPDATE : Radio no longer work . soothing sound do not work . Sleep mode do not work . I set alarm 1 for 6:45 AM and it somehow switch on its own to 6:45 pm . drop rating to 1 star . I have have the clock for almost a month , and it seem more of its feature stop work . I do not recommend this clock . the basic clock still keep time , and the projection light work , but that be about it . 9\/15\/11 UPDATE : alarm do not work at all . the only thing this clock do be keep time . the light that reflect the time on the ceiling still work , but all the other feature do not . I have never have a product go bad so quickly . 9\/20\/11 : clock be DEAD . have to unplug it while clean . when I plug it back in , nothing display . never have I have a product that die so quickly as this one . save you money and buy another brand . do not buy this clock .

I can not say I fall in love with this product when I first receive it , but its usefulness become more apparent with time . I recommend it , but with very strong reservtions\/warnings . pro : exceptionally portable which allow you to present information in way not previously possible that be about it . however , this pro be bigger than one might think . but first , the negative : con : price lack of wi-fus and bluetooth connectivity connection cable provide limit how you can use horrible user manual . actually , what manual ? it be a pamphlet with almost no information provide at all . 32 lumen . this projector be not go to work in a light room as soon as I open the box and try to use the mp160us immediately wish for the functionality of the mp180 , it be more expensive relative . I really want wi-fus and bluetooth . and I want to use it with my 4 year old ipod , but the projector will not work with it . I have to borrow a newer model to get it to work . the major selling point of this product be its portability . I can not imagine hook it up to a computer or dvd player of any kind . the only way this product shine be when it be couple with a wi-fi enable device such as a ipod touch . it be only then that the m160 become a portable teaching tool . I could see this be use by coach , teacher , or anyone who have to sometimes give brief presentation . and I do mean brief . the lack of light strength and the tiny tiny speaker would make more than 5 minute use unbearable . for I personally , I plan to use this to explain new board game to my board gaming meetup group . instructional video on how to play game typically run 5 to 10 minute . Perfect . this same idea could be use by other in similar situation . E.g. a coach who want to quickly show a short segment of a game post to the net in order to teach player . but be it worth it ? I honestly can not say . you have to judge for yourself and keep the limitation in mind . and definitely , without question , view this product as only half of what you need . a wi-fi enable ipod be necessary to make full use of the m160 .

906	Projector	NEG	2	I 'll start this review with a disclaimer . I be a geek . this mean I do a ton of research on the pk301 Pico Projector from Optoma before purchase it through Amazon . in theory , it be a cool toy . however , some basic production fault sabotage any realistic use of this projector . I initially purchase it as a special effect for Halloween . I record a ghostly movie , tweak the movie with some after effect , and be mean to rear-project it into some dense fog or onto the house window to scare the kid . here be what I run into : - the projector come with almost no instruction other than `` here be the power button '' and `` check out we website for accessory . '' - the resolution of the projector be cut almost in half if you do not have it connect to a external video source -lrb- tv , laptop , etc. -rrb- - the cable that come with it be poorly make , and cram into the packaging . the laptop-to-projector cable that come with my initial order be break . - when I ask for a replacement cable , I be send a refurbish projector and be ask to send the new one back . thankfully , Amazon do not care if I switch the cable , and I return the refurbish one . the moral of the story be , if you buy a brand new projector and it do not work out of the box , optoma may replace it with a clearly used\/refurbished projector . for $ 300 + , that be b . - the battery life be around 45 minute . keep that power cord handy . - the projector be very picky about exactly how the video file be format . do not expect any drag-and-drop here . you 'll need to download a third-party program like Handbrake to format you video into mp4 at a specific bit-rate and size , because the projector come with no software . - the speaker sound be about as loud as cheap earbud . unless you be sit right next to it -lrb- with the little fan blow in you ear -rrb- , you 'll need external speaker to hear anything . important ! - after 3 - 4 hour of playtime , the screen develop a burn in the middle . this burn must have be on inside reflector , because I could not clean it off . it be so bad and so black , I could not see the on-screen menu to play anything . thankfully , I be able to return it . pro - look neat when you can get it to work . con - poorly construct . - bad customer service from Optoma . - spec give for resolution be under very specific circumstance , and not what you would get out of the box . - need to download specialized software from third-party company and have knowledge of video editing to convert video before they can be play . - burn up after 3 - 4 hour of continuous playtime -lrb- aka cooling fan be not good enough -rrb- . final verdict - avoid this product and wait for the next model . maybe they 'll have solve the cooling problem by then .

Instructions\/Assembly : I be not a tech savvy person , nor do I do well with assemble anything I do not care how much instruction be give . I be more of hand on person who enjoy a human facilitator . however the instruction receive with this product allow I to check the projection on the clock , set both alarm one and two ; one for weekday and the other for the weekend . lastly no more wake up to loud buzz or music I have choice with the Timex Redi Set Alarm clock dual radio . I can choose to wake to soothing sound like water running , the ocean , chime , music or that annoying buzz buzz . appearance : the radio itself be actually smaller than expect so I be pleasantly surprise . my night table be a pretty decent size ; however I would like my bible to share a piece of it . today my Bose Wave radio take up most of the space . so the size be good news . usage : I only have one word `` Easy '' alIow I to explain I do not have to waste time punch button all I have to do be select my time zone and the Redi Set computer system automatically set the clock . but if you want to manually set the clock 5 or 10 minute fast that option be available as well . see EASY . bonus : Projection Operation I like the image of the time display on my ceiling , no more waking and turn my head to face the clock , if I sleep on my back all I have to do be open my eye ...

122	Projector	POS	4	100 % brand NEW OEM EQUIVALENT TY-LA1000 PROJECTOR \/ tv lamp with housing for Panasonic I order this lamp and rec would it within three day . it be the first one that I purchase that be not break during shipment and work when I install it . I have purchase 2 previously ; two so that I could repair and get a good one . they come from a different supplier of Amazon and be not package properly , so arrive broken and no instruction . what do you know ! this shipment from Projector Parts include a complete set of instruction , be package properly and arrive in great shape . it continue to work as advertise . I be impressed . I recommend purchase future lamp from Projector Parts in Montrose , California . p . . this lamp also seem as if it give a brighter picture , which make for easier viewing .
751	Projector	POS	4	this projector have serve I well . I have two child , a four year old and a ten year old . both of they ask almost nightly if we be go to watch the projector . I have have the picture up to about 70 '' and find it quite watchable . it do look like you be watch through a screen door , and it be a tad blurry . we pay $ 25 for the device on clearance at we local drugstore and be very happy with it . we have use it inside and out . it be a real treat use it outside . we spend the evening on the lawn next to the campfire watch movie with the family . I set up a dvd to make it feel like a authentic drive-in movie and make popcorn . the kid be thrill . I only wish we have this thing when I be a kid . if you be lucky enough to pick this up for less than $ 50 I would say do not hesitate . we be consider buy a better one , but only because we have so much enjoyment from this one first .
275	Projector	POS	4	for college , this projector be worth the money . in a sunny day with the blind close on the east window a decent picture can still be acquire . the 16x9 picture be great but when connect to the computer , I sometimes get a greenish tent but not when it be connect to a dvd player , etc. . my only issue be that when watch a movie the projector will go out of focus halfway through the movie , probably because of the vibration of the projector itself . overall a really good product .
846	Projector	POS	4	I but this projector after read many review and compare . first the shipping be super fast that surprised . when I open the box that impress because the projector be bigger than it look in the photo . it look good . the fan sound but not something that annoy . the VGA connection be the best because I can go 1080p . the connection hdma do not really like because it not give you the option of go to 1080p just let I go up to 720p but it look good anyway . the only thing I want from Lonestar be to buy replacement light , because I could not get where to buy they .
477	Projector	POS	5	Got mine on my son 's birthday . I hook up with PS3 , 1.4 a compliance hdmus cable , Mustang 120 '' screen , sony sound system , two optoma z101 3d dlp link glass , play 3d game and watch 3d movie . I can not believe in front of my eye . I be watch and play 3d in my living room . none of the projector out there without you need to pay and hook up 3d converter can do that . I have compare it with optoma hd180 as well . I love this 3d projector . I be excite to have this machine in my living room . I be die to show this to my friend and wife . another best part be it come with the rf emitter just in case you want to hook up with rf active shutter glass . in my opinion , the optoma z101 be on sale and will do the job nicely both to my two boy 10 and 13 year old and of course myself . you will not be disappoint .
321	Projector	POS	5	the Universal Ceiling Mount be easy to configure to we projector with lot of hardware to set it level . it be a very easy to install .
841	Projector	POS	4	my office have be experiment with a few different minus projector . this MicroVision model be the one we be stick with for now . -lrb- we have 4 of they -rrb- it be a simple plug and play procedure . the picture be decent . the cable adapter be custom make for apple product . my only problem with this feature be that the cable be very short and there be no option for a longer line . this just mean that you need to be close to the projector if you want to control the program manually . the device be light and about the size of a iphone . i can absolutely tell you that when fully charge at its brightest setting and run off the battery . . you will get no more than 2 hour and 40 minute of battery life . it be a good product for now . . i say for now because we have already see a smaller device that slide onto apple device and it have the same luminosity . we will be switch to that brand as it come to market , but for now this laser pocket projector be state of the art for the consumer market .
880	Projector	POS	4	its go to be almost 2 week since I purchase this projector . watch movie be great on this projector . I be use my wall for the projection which have get grainy surface . Picture quality and detail be awesome . I be shock to see such clarity even on a grainy surface . I try to run this during daytime and do not find it do very good in the light even when blind be close . I have to close curtain for it . this can be ignore as optimum use of this projector be only when you be watch movie , and movie give feel on such big screen only after room be perfectly dark . I will not reduce any star because of this . the only heart breaker with this projector and I believe with all the 3d ready projector sell today be the extra hardware for view 3d contents . it really make no sense to purchase a 3d ready projector for 600 even $ & then purchase a converter kind of device of almost same amount of the projector in order to watch 3d movie on a 3d ready projector . I be give 3 star just because of this additional hardware 3d-xl . if I ignore this then definitely this projector be 5 star . and why the 3d-xl device be more costly than compare to UK and even do not come with the pair of glass while the UK one come . I be not a very techy person for audio and visual but I understand that this 3d XL box will do some sequencing of frame in order to show right and leave frame sequentially . this be more a firmware upgrade . since most of we have recently buy this device hence in my opinion optoma should do this firmware update free of cost as most the mobile company do these day . the only real issue seem to I currently most 3d player have output of hdmus v1 .4 while the hd 66 support input of HDMI v 1.3 . it be really feel cheat that Optoma be ask to purchase a full box instead of a small hdmus v1 .4 to v1 .3 converter and ask for a whopping 500 $ . for I be seem like I be ask to purchase one hd 66 on discounted price . it will feel like OPTOMA be cheat we . ## update on 21 Dec 2010 ## in amazon UK site this product be sell just 249euro which be equal to 327.5 $ . UK version ship follow below give item in the box . -lrb- ... -rrb- Box contain # 3d projector adapter # Power Plug # Power Adapter # user Guide -lrb- CD -rrb- # quick Start Card # Warranty Card # WEEE card # 3d glass # cr2032 battery # large\/small interchangeable nosepiece update on 9\/19\/2011 update to 4 star as picture quality be awesome . it make my weekend .
158	Projector	NEG	1	I buy this projector because I want a complete projector and dvd player that would fit in my living room . Epson boast of get a wide screen project from as little as 6 foot away from the wall , so I think this would be perfect . they even show picture of it be use on a coffee table to project on the wall . well , when I get it up and run , I discover that to get the picture at a appropriate height , the projector itself have to be almost five foot in the air ! plus , with the dvd player eject to the rear of the machine , you can not mount it against the wall . so , to use it in you living room -lrb- or anywhere -rrb- , be prepare to have it sit at a height of 4 to 6 foot high ! there be dial that allow for picture adjustment , but even with these fully utilize I need to prop the projector up on some book -lrb- the leg be not adjustable -rrb- , and still at a height of four foot , much higher than a coffee table , and so high that when sit down , the projector itself interfere with you ability to see the project image ! now , the picture and sound itself be fine . but the design and execution make this product unusable for I and for many people in similar situation . try it out before you buy !!!
218	Projector	POS	5	this projector be absolutely unbelievable . hand down beat the JVC DILA rs40 in 3d viewing and its 3x as bright as the vpl-hw90e in 3d mode . personally , I think they price point be a little low . 2d to 3d simulation be pretty cool too although not as good as a true 3d channel or movie . I already do a year 's worth of research on this . no need to look anywhere else . buy this thing . for reference , I be use a 120 DragonFly perferated screen with 1.35 gain . even with the perf it be still bright .
811	Projector	POS	4	five seconds . that be how much video you can shoot with this shoot 'n share out of the box . not good on Christmas Day ! to loosely quote a recent commercial , `` do not they think this be information I would like to have ? '' five seconds ! really ?! really ? the most amusing thing about this be that the manual state that the micro sd be `` optional '' . really ? who make five second home movie ? good news be we find a micro sd that should give we about 90 minute of record time cheap on Amazon . also , in spite of the apparent miscommunication , this look like a really nice piece of equipment .
964	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector back in 2004 ... have a home theater have always be a dream of mine , but I do not want to fork out unreasonable amount of money to do so ... the main reason I choose this projector be for its luman rating , and the fact that best buy sell it , so I be able to purchase it with my brother employee discount for under 1000 dollar , keep in mind this be back in 2004 ... at first , I be dissappointed ... I run a s-video cable straight from my av receiver -lrb- sony str-de1075 -rrb- into the projector with dissapointing result ... I try everything , even svideo signal booster , but the picture be mediocre at best ... then I buy a VGA HD cable for my xbox 360 and plug it into the unit and be shock , the picture quality be clearly sharper and much more define ... this lead I to believe that use component could possibly give I a decent picture ... I buy a dvdo iscan video processor on ebay , and run the prjector off that unit ... I be pleased , the picture be not as clear as a CRT , but still very good for a sd signal , especially when watch dvd content ... when i really become pleased with this projector be when I buy a Samsung over the air hdtv tuner ... I run a 35 foot monster hdmus cable thru my ceiling into the projector be feed by the hd tuner , and my jaw drop ... the picture be insanely bright , super sharp , and amazingly accurate in term or color ... this projector really shine when be feed by hd content , so I would encourage anything to invent in this unit if it be purpose will be hd\/bd\/hd-dvd content , you simply can not get much better for the price ... I be currently shoot it on a flat white wall , but have a Goo Paint Screen on the way , i be confident that will make the picture stronger as well ... the bulb blow at about 2000 hour , a little dissappointing , but sometimes my theater room get really hot during the summer day -lrb- northern californium -rrb- so i know that be not safe for the bulb ... I get a decent deal from projector people , the bulb ship overnight for 325 out the door , cant complain ... all in all , its a great projector ... sd content be good with a appropiate signal processor , but hd be where it really shine ...
499	Projector	POS	5	the product come with different screw to fit a variety of projector . I easily find what I need to mount my Dell projector . once in place , there be lot of flexibility to adjust the postion as need .
51	Projector	POS	5	i buy this for presentation of tax and financial seminar . i need something easily carry and connect . it be sooooo small ! but very powerful and impressive . i buy a flash drive and download the power point and use the projector exclusively . i have to use the power cord to get a bright picture - without it be a good picture but not bright . for I , use the remote be a big problem . the remote only work while stand behind the unit . i like to stand away and walk around , make contact with my audiance so i have to have another person stand at the unit and use the remote . might not be a problem for you if you be ok with stand behind the projector . the picture be clear and the `` run '' noise of the unit not bad . i have recommend it to other associate .
464	Projector	POS	5	my husband and I be look for a affordable projector for we home theater and this fit we need perfectly . it be everything it be advertise to be and more . set-up could not have be easier and the picture be great - we use it for regular tv watch as well as movie . we have it set up on a 93 inch screen and everyone who have see it have be very impressed . thanks for a great product !
494	Projector	POS	5	do a ton of research before buy . could not find all the feature I want , so I wait . -lrb- go from 52 '' rca rear projection tv to 92 '' projector . -rrb- glad I do , this unit do a great job in a room with ambient light . I recommend get a light gray screen rather than white or just use the wall for improve contrast . excellent quality , quiet , great picture . remember , the screen be only half the experience , do not skimp on sound !
877	Projector	POS	4	I get compliment on this screen every time I bring company home . my only complaint be it be slightly warped and a shadow show in bright movie frame , I do not know if it be always be there because it be so minor but it be annoy now that I see it . I have have it less then six month so it kind of piss I off for the price I pay . other than that , this screen be awsome !
650	Projector	POS	4	I hide this screen in my crown molding and it work great . it keep the wall clean for artwork . Easy to install and remote work well too . overall exceptional product for the price . the only issue I have be the screen be make for 9 ' ceiling and I have a 12 ' ceiling . I be still try to figure out how to lower the screen 3 more foot . I might even have to find another screen that roll down longer . I welcome any suggestion . I be not afraid to void the warranty on this product . overall you can not beat the price for what you get .
336	Projector	NEG	1	this thng be trash . unviewable picture -lrb- no matter what I adjust etc. accord to the manual -rrb- . I know what a good projector be and this be not it . do not waste you money . if I could give it no star I would .
112	Projector	POS	4	this be my second pico projector so I know not to expect something that would fill a bright room . it do come with a lot of basic cable and even international plug adaptor but it do not come with a direct iphone\/ipod cable . that say you can open it like a hard drive on you computer and drop and drag you mp4 video file , mp3 music and powerpoint presentation onto it and they play just fine . to I that be the best feature ; you can play video and powerpoint without have to connect it to anything . you need to think of it as a gee-whiz unit rather than a presentation workhorse . really be pocket size and include sound and at least one hour of battery life . I 'll probably take it camping . it be sort of crazy that it come with a quick set up guide but no operating instruction . I be use to look thing up though and easily find the pdf on the 3M Website .
496	Projector	NEG	2	it be not worth much more than $ 20 . the wire from the computer be stronger than the stand and projector together . I be embarase during my presentation when when the stiff connect wire would flex and the lightweight projector would fall over . image project be very dim . do not try project if there be any sunlight in the room . what good be a slim carry bag for just the projector if you have to carry all of the million of cable and part include in another case ? spend the extra money and buy the real projector . thank you to Amazon for they great return policy !
186	Projector	NEG	1	purchase this product because my current projector lamp need replace . after replace the old lamp with the new lamp , I be amaze at just how poor of a image be be display . I have purchase many bulb for my projector and none of they have ever be this bad . the lamp be put out very low light the image be yellow and very wash out . this be only part of the problem . when I get the lamp the packaging be nothing like other company . the lamp be in a bag wrap in bubble wrap , and place in a box . what be they think ?!
804	Projector	POS	5	we have 4 of these deploy in a bar environment switch on 12 + hour a day to show sport and other tv channel and we could not be happier . they be exceptionally easy to install with a simple menu that make it easy to invert the picture , adjust the keystone setting , and basically set up the projector so that the only button that need to be press be on\/off . fortunately , there be a remote so there be no need to touch anything on the unit itself . in we case , the bulb last 6-8 month each and be also easy to change . I test one at home where we be lucky enough to have a very , very large white wall and watch Avatar . Short of cook up some popcorn , it be like sit in a movie theater . it be true that the project image lack the definition of a average high-def flat-screen , but the image size be significantly larger than anything you could reasonably buy as a tv . for watch movie and sport , what this unit be capable of produce be truly remarkable . while I be sure there be many better projector in term of picture quality , none come close at this price point . I would highly recommend for anywhere you need a big screen .
575	Projector	POS	5	excellent piece of kit . great picture and when link to a sound sytem plus a huge 7 ' x 5 ' screen then this be better than the movie . rainbow ... ... not yet , only problem seem to be find a replacement bulb when present one go POP .
64	Projector	POS	4	have the pk201 for about 3 week now . 4 1\/2 star . the brightness have much improve . I love that I can now connect just about anything to the pk201 . hopefully the rest of the cables\/adapter will be available soon . battery life be poor , at about a hour . but I mostly keep this plug in all the time . I wish the screen be just a little bit bigger . 70 '' easy with good clarity . the focus wheel be much better , not loose like previous model . Great for travel and hotel room . even with some light ambient lighting you can see the picture fine . best with complete darkness . \*\*\*\* Update \*\*\*\* after a lot of use I have notice a few thing when compare to other pk model . first the projection screen on the 201 have a smaller footprint on the wall . I be unable to get the entire screen to focus . area remain blurry no matter what . 101 have better focus . get the pk301 , really impressed with that model . bought one myself .
17	Projector	POS	4	I like the projector - it come in handy for my need . only problem there be two slot where the slide always get stick . I will have to see if that can be fix . the projector be deliver very quickly . I be very excite about that since originally it be schedule to come after my relative be here . thank you for the promptness .
630	Projector	POS	5	the projector be awesome for power point and work presentation . we be a small school and do not need to spend in excess for a major piece of equipment .
40	Projector	NEG	2	buy this to mount my Epson 8350 projector ... I be die to get this thing mount and in my living room . however , it be not to be . it `` just miss '' the hole on the 8350 ... some people in the review have say it do fit the Epson 8350 and it have detail instruction . the product I receive do not fit it , and it be `` instruction '' be one sheet of paper let you know how many of each piece you should have , and a schematic . no step by step . regardless , call the return phone number on the packaging , and speak with a woman who say , in addition to the 1 '' and 3 '' extender that be include , they also have 5 '' extender , which would fit the Espon 8350 . they be ship `` for free '' -lrb- with a $ 3 shipping charge -rrb- . so , although it say UNIVERSAL , it be not quite . I 'll update my review when the piece come in ... but I now have to delay hang this a week . I would rather not ... sigh . = = = = = update = = = = = i receive the extender ... and it work fine . but it be false advertising to say this be `` Universal '' when it do not fit all projector . so ... buyer beware .
311	Projector	POS	5	solid construction . have about 6 different pivot point that can be adjust to accommodate almost any installation . one thing that I do that be probably out of the ordinary be that I actually mount the unit to a 18 inch piece of 2x6 . I have a drop ceiling so I have access to the bare joist . the 18 inch 2x6 fit perfectly between the joist . then I attach 2 small piece of wood to either joist . this allow I to lift the projector with the 18 inch piece of wood and simply rest it on the lip of each small piece of wood . this type of installation allow I to remove the projector and mount from it be rest place without have to use a single tool .
378	Projector	POS	4	the product be overall a good fit , but the bolt be not very long and the include drywall mount and screw be kinda of sad . we get some bigger and longer screw and mount it straight to the ceiling joist , and also use loctite on all of the bolt except the one go directly into the projector . the bolt do not always thread through enough to make I comfortable . the plate itself and the joint be well make and decent though . plus this mount be waaaay cheaper than other , and be customize for the unit .
780	Projector	POS	5	this be a fantastic home projector . I be a very picky electronics fan . this exceed my expectation . the color be rich , bright & great . Panasonic produce best color . I own they camera , camcorder & now this . I be go to buy they HDMI dvd player
266	Projector	POS	4	I really like this product , however it be necessary to turn off all of the light in order to see it . also , I highly do not recommend it for a home theater projector because the contrast be low , and it be very hard to see dark image in movie -lrb- not a movie projector . it be fine however for video game . also , if you plan to use it for you computer , do not buy it because the resolution be horrible -lrb- like its a tiny laptop screen size -rrb- and its hard to read text .
269	Projector	POS	5	after borrow a friend Sony VPLCX6 projector with 2000 lumen and watch american Idol and `` I robot '' on my great room wall I be hooked . a exhaustive 2 month online , in-store and Pawn Shop search ensue . I have 3 criterion to meet , under $ 1000 , atleast 1200 lumen and minimum 800x600 native resolution . after search every electronic outlet in the greater Peoria area my father in law point I to Sams Club . the only projector they carry be the Epson Powerlite s1 + and @ $ 699 with 1400 lumen this be the culmination of my search . I be project a image 8 ' x 6 ' onto a 1.3 gain theater screen . with the s-video connection the picture be fantastic . most broadcast cable be quite clear , satellite channel be better and dvd be awesome . screendoor effect be present as the image be quite large but easy to ignore and lose it as the image be very crisp . only if I be rich beyond rich would I go with a higher end projector !
447	Projector	POS	4	this be a very good projector for display sharp image for game , movie or presentation on a fairly smooth white or light color wall or projector screen . its various input port make it a versatile projector for display device with hdmus , rca , VGA , or composite , and also have audio in & out . at approximately 4ft . you can display a video image about 4x7 ft. in size -lrb- approx . 81 in . tv screen -rrb- and at about 10ft . you have a mini imax theater . the projector can be adjust by use button on projector itself or through the remote ; have focus adjustment , adjustable projector foot and work great with my Sony 3d blu-ray player or 3d video card on my computer . with the include backpack , remote , 3d rf emitter -lrb- 3d glass sell separately -rrb- and cable , this projector be a great travel companion and work great in normal room light , too . feature that would have make this projector better would be , use a standard projector lense so you can use it as a home theater project , because move the projector further then 10 ft. make the image go out of focus and can not be adjust . also , the fan cooling cycle for the bulb be real short -lrb- about 9sec . -rrb- then shut off . high heat be still feel come from the exhaust vent in projector which could possibly damage lamp before its cool down enough to move . my other projector continue to circulation air into the bulb chamber continuously after its initial blast of air to cool down bulb . I use a small personal fan to blow air into this projector for about 15 min . to cool down the bulb enough so I can store it safety without worry about bulb damage . all these projector bulb be not cheap . the short throw optic lense be round which prevent lense cap from fitting snuggly on lense when store projector and no zoom adjustment . you adjust size by move projector closer or further from projector screen . overall this be a good projector for a person with small room want a movie \/ video game room in they home or apartment for family or friend entertaining and with the 3d build in to use 3d blu-ray player , game console or other 3d device directly , without buy a converter box ; it make this projector worth its value .
343	Projector	POS	5	let I start by say I like to buy american as much as possible . with that say ... I see no american company that can match the price of this quality product . the screen be bright and full size as advertise . the review that I read be dead on in regard to the 5 star rating . I have to wait about a month to get it as they be all sell out even from FAVI . the screen do curl slightly on either edge as -lrb- i guess -rrb- all non-tension screen do . however the black border be wide enough that it do not affect the picture at all . the motor be a little noisey and the screen seem to go up and down slowly . however at $ 163 for a 92in electric projection screen -lrb- deliver -rrb- you cant complain -lrb- I know I just do -rrb- . when people come into my theater roon -lrb- convert basement -rrb- they think I win the lottery and spend a mint on a new home theater . truth be tell I have less invester in my 92in , 7.1 , Blu-Ray system then I do in my 42in plasma 5.1 dvd system in my living room . so I guess except for support a China base product I love it so far . and yes when I be hungery and out of work I will need to eat my projector , projector screen and most of my other electronics ... still cant beat the price - deliver ...
525	Projector	NEG	1	same problem that everybody else be report . I have one for about 3 month and it start blank , so I return it for another . this one have work for about 6 month and it be now do the same thing . basically you turn it on , and within 5 minute , the picture go black . if you pull the plug and restart it , it 'll come up again . the problem seem to be get worse , as for a while it would only require 1 restart , and now it have be require 2 or 3 . I do notice the 2nd one 's test pattern be now yellow and blue , instead of white and black , which be apparently because of color streak which would be all too visible on the original test pattern . this seem pretty dirty of Panasonic . on the plus side , the image be fantastic when it work .
818	Projector	NEG	2	Got my unit a few minute ago , read the booklet and I be see that the light source be a elongate 150w clear bulb !!! replacement cost $ 25 here , my question be this - will this really qualify as a lcd projector or can I sue someone for false advertising since it be under this premise that I buy the unit ... . will update on functionality later on .
827	Projector	POS	5	this be we second MovieMate projector -lrb- we MovieMate 30 still be go strong -rrb- . we love the concept of have a build in dvd player and speaker . you do not need anthing else . the major improvement for the 30 to the 60 be the additional input -lrb- hdmus and VGA -rrb- . the microphone input be also unique add feature that I have not see anywhere else . I love everything about this product .
817	Projector	POS	5	after spend week research different projector I finally decide to go with this one , and I could not be happier ! I pair it with a 120 '' screen I also buy on amazon . I have the projector mount on my ceiling . the whole project be a little bit frustrating , I be try to get the screen hang and the projector mount in just the right way . but after I get it up there I realize I way over complicate the whole thing . the keystone adjuster fix the mount angle with just a quick flick of a button . but even with all my little trouble it only take I about 2 hour to get everything set up just perfect , hidden wire and all . so no bad at all . the quality of this projector far exceed my expectation ! this be my first projector , and I be use it in my living room as a main view screen . so I run everything on it , my tv , computer screen , gaming , dvd , blue ray ... my living room be pretty dark so ambient light be not much of a problem during the day , and at night the picture be still very watchable even with all the light on . my friend love come over and enjoy my new `` movie theater '' . its be a blast for play game like call of duty and halo on as well ! the picture be just amazing ! I definitely recommend this projector for anyone who want a amazing picture and do not want to spend thousand of dollar do it .
375	Projector	NEG	1	the bulb be for my secondary tv . it be only use during the weekend when the kid be not in school . the bulb be replace a couple week ago and it burn out . the vendor be excellent . I be show what to do to get a replacement . yet the quality of the bulb be definitely not worth to explore
853	Projector	POS	4	much better quality and feature set than I expect . absolutely no issue with its brightness when use in a dark room . I project to 42 '' . no issue with its dvd limited resolution . fantastic feature set ; very small -lrb- cigarette pack size -rrb- , lifetime mtbf , hdmus -lrb- with pcm audio transport -rrb- , VGA , build in speaker -lrb- albeit feeble -rrb- , stereo audio out -lrb- extract audio from hdmus -lrb- pcm only , I presume -rrb- , tripod mount . some neg be : its a noisy sucker in high brightness mode -lrb- quiet in medium brightness mode -lrb- just ok brightness -rrb- -rrb- , non-uniform focus , so lightweight that it be hard to make stable . I recommend mount it on a miniature tripod . I give the pk301 a happy thumb up . its not a flexible use device . it must be match to the right situation . I use it as a bedroom projector . I be look forward to future generation of pico projector because the pk301 prove to I that pico projection have a bright future .
327	Projector	POS	5	this be just what I need for presentation with a great price point ... can connect anywhere ... the only glitch I have be the need for a adapter cord to connect to my MacBook and the sale people do not give I that piece of info even though I inquire about Mac compatibilty . the projector work great ... I love not have to wait for it to cool down after use before store .
535	Projector	POS	4	very good price image be perfect at size 100 '' but its need dark room for display and some time you need to adjust the focus ever now and then during one move time
603	Projector	NEU	3	this have the cool factor with a trio of laser and single scanning mirror , but there be pro and con , most significantly poor video quality . the most significant advantage be that the image be always in focus , even on uneven surface . the flip side of this be that because the overall picture diverge greater than the laser beam , when the picture be large , the space between the scan line be annoyingly visible . hopefully this will be address as this technology evolve . the picture be also dimmer than dlp -lrb- at least compare to the Optoma pk201 -rrb- and not as sharp . the speckled image can be annoying , though that might just be a personal choice . when I first turn on the showwx + , I be amaze and very pleased , especially at short to mid-range distance up to 5 - 6 foot . not until I get the Optoma do I realize I do not need to settle for the dim and dispersed picture . the final straw , besides my showwx + show a defect with ghost image , be that there be no automatic aspect ratio setting . the showwx + require you to choose 4:3 or 16:9 whichever fit best the current video . it be annoy to have to keep switching and not every video fit one of these preset aspect ratio . I assume this be either lazy programming or anal product design . despite these flaw , I fully intend to give the ShowWX , or some other projector that embed the next version of the PicoP , another look whenever that come to market . apparently Microvision be develop a hd picop for use with third-party projector , but will not produce a hd projector of they own . for now , I be very happy with the Optoma pk201 , which have the add feature of a Micro sd card slot .
988	Projector	POS	5	I buy this product and it have be excellent , easy to use , video cable be include , the control work fine . any issue with the product .
287	Projector	NEG	1	I return this projector , mostly because the picture be pretty bad with standard def . source . Nintendo Wii look pretty bad , and standard def . tv and dvd look considerably less sharp than on my standard def . projector . other problem : it ship with horrible look color , the preset from the manuf . be terrible look . after tweaking , you can get a ok look picture but at that point the brightness be greatly reduce so I do not consider this to be a particularly bright projector . black level be not great either . I never try it with high def . source because the standard def . performance be a deal breaker for I . I replace it with a much cheaper projector , the NEC np115 and I be much happier with that one . Standard def . look great , and the review say that high def . look even better -lrb- I have not try a high def . source yet though -rrb- . the NEC 's preset look great , the high brightness setting retain decent color so they be useful , and black level and shadow detail appear to be at least as good as on the hd66 . if you view a fair amount of standard def . content , I do not recommend the hd66 .
649	Projector	POS	5	I buy this in a bind to replace and earlier projector that have be steal from my office . I use this for a class that I instruct on a monthly basis . it do what it be suppose to do . the presentation from the laptop appear on the screen ... the student 's nod off , I finish and they get they continuing education certificate . I do not try to watch tv with it or illuminate the Luxor Casino , so if that be what you want to use this product for you have better find another review to teach it be excellence . but , if you need something to help you out with a little visual presentation ... this be you baby .
599	Projector	POS	5	this be the first projector I have purchase and I be very happy with it ... especially for only $ 200 . great value , I be very satisfied : -rrb-
265	Projector	POS	4	this projector be extremely small , the size of a iPhone with a nice bright picture with vibrant color . Great for small group . Easy to set up and use . highly recommend .
252	Projector	POS	5	this be a great screen . I have have it in use for almost a year . I never get the adjustable height to work , but it be fine at factory default in the end . I just wish I would have go with the 120 '' instead of the 100 '' . my wife think 100 '' be fine though . it integrate with the universal remote and than make be even easier to use .
570	Projector	POS	5	5 minute out of box and watch a movie . the video quality be really good for how much we pay for it . it be project onto a paint wall and look better than many other projectors\/tvs I have see recently . at about 16 foot from the wall the picture be huge , maybe equally 16 foot . have the sound go through another receiver and speaker set up make it feel like be in a theater . my wife 's friend see it and think she would get one too . really happy with the purchase so far .
139	Projector	POS	4	I purchase this little projector a week ago and find it quiet and for the most part a exceptional value ... but it take patience to learn how to operate the machine ... THERE be no manual ! I do find one on line and it really do not explain how to work it very clearly . good Luck !
554	Projector	POS	5	while not as impressive as the surround sound room upstairs , it make a excellent compliment to any tv -lrb- 46 '' Sony XBR Bravia in this case -rrb- in a room that you do not wish to fill with speaker . add a sub-woofer , and the sound be excellent ! I would also suggest wiring the sound from you satellite , dvd\/blu-ray directly to the sound bar as I notice the sound slightly out of sync with the tv if you run it from the satellite and\/or blu-ray\/dvd through the tv and then to the soundbar . I could not justify pay retail price for this soundbar , but at $ 430 I feel it be a bargain and well worth the money .
395	Projector	POS	4	I get this projector mount for a home theater install . it be easy to install and work great . the reason I didnt give it a 5 be because 1 of the screw they provide I with be not thread , it look like a flat nail with a philip head and I be unable to find a screw with a similar thread size -lrb- metric . -rrb- I end up improvise by get a bolt that fit into a larger hole and use two nut to do the fine adjustment . my projector be a Optoma HD 70 .
695	Projector	POS	5	I be extremely happy with this projector . I be use it at home to project across a 15 foot room onto a white wall . the picture come out to probably about a 8-10 foot screen . even without hd it look amazing . I have yet to try hd or 3d , but I be sure they will look great as well . the brightness of the projector be better than I expect . it do not quite work in the middle of the day with the shades open -lrb- darker color be hard to tell apart -rrb- . but it do work extremely well in a dim room . overall , very impressed .
580	Projector	POS	4	I love the picture quality . I hate the lack of internal memory . it would be far better if they have more . I have have to get a mini sd card to add what it lack . other than that it be great to have here in afghanistan .
301	Projector	POS	5	este equipo llego bien y en el tiempo previsto . para el precio y el tama & ntilde ; o e un exellente equipo . sirve para proyectar video , documento foto etc. bajo consumo de energia . e muy bien portatil .
474	Projector	POS	5	I admit I be a bit worried when I read the review that a buyer do not get the screen deliver . originally , the projector\/subwoofer arrive in a single box without a screen . it be UPS ' fault , however , since the screen be deliver in a separate container as a separate shipment -lrb- and they return later that day with the package when they realize they mistake -rrb- . the unit be very impressive and we have have many guest come over to watch movie . I like the four different color mode which accomodate different level of ambient light -lrb- from a moderately-well light room to complete blackness -rrb- . we have successfuly connect we Xbox and even we video ipod with surprisingly decent result . however , if you wish to connect you computer , you will have to use a computer-monitor-port to s-video\/rca-video port adapter -lrb- like Dazzle , etc. -rrb- . this product be well worth the cost as I have be look to create a home theater for over a year and have resign myself to spend 3x to 5x as much . besides spend less than I plan , by be portable , the Moviemate have allow I to show movie in way I do not original intend . we kid recently have `` movie night '' outside with the image show against the garage door and invite the neighborhood kid . this all-in-one package have be a delight ! I highly recommend the Moviemate 25 !
21	Projector	POS	4	it go together without any issue and be easily adjustable once it be hang . it be do a great job , just what I want it to do .
602	Projector	NEU	3	do not get I wrong the projector be AWSOME great picture quality and this be my first Panasonic & projector experience , usually I ` m royal customer to SONY . only thing be REAL AWFUL make I hate this projector and Panasonic company . . be customer service\/tech support ! I just buy this projector arrive around x-ma I call many time to Panasonic Tech support and customer service , CAN NOT find anyone support this projector , they transfer I to this guy and that guy , put I on hold alot time and put I on hold again for long minute to read PJ manual some where , that thing i can do myself , then they take my phone number 100times to someone call I back and never get any call back from anyone , because they do not know S. about the PJ & NOT train whatsoever & come to it PANASONIC dose not have any support for thire projector line up ! , still wait for call then again same old paste over & over . . still do have same issue be not resolve for almost 3 week now !!! `` customer beware '' U do not get any `` support '' from Panasonic when u buy this pj , U be on you Owen to figure it out and have question !! only thing they know be about thire TVS & dvd player !! . if I know about this mess . . i would never buy Panasonic and stick with my good old SONY product a support ! this be my first and last of panasonic brand !
563	Projector	POS	4	this item be deliver very promptly . the picture be extremely bright and clear . one down side , however , be I could not get the aspect to change , nor could I figure out how to find the audio out put . there be slot that be not in use . no manual that be of any use . bottom line , for the price , you can get a great picture for tv or gaming or pc . just remember you be limit in the configuration .
729	Projector	POS	5	I buy the screen for under $ 100 about 2 month ago . I use it with  Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350  I install it with the  Da-Lite T-BAR SCISSOR clip -lrb- 78445 -rrb-  the installation be pretty easy . I would definitely recommend this screen to those who be look to buy one on a budget .
258	Projector	POS	5	this little beast be the bomb -lrb- do people still say that ? -rrb- ! I read several review where people say they show it to someone and that person say that they be go to have to get one for themselves . this happen to I . my totally non-techy brother-in-law say he might have to get a computer just so he could have one . take it out of the box , plug it into the wall socket , plug it into the computer with provide cable , turn it on and start project beautiful image on the living room wall - at night with the room light on . project it across the room -lrb- probably about 25 ' -rrb- onto the opposite wall and BIG , clear picture . obviously not as bright , but the light be still on and this be a LONG way away . cable be great . only thing miss be the HDMI cable with the mini-plug on one end . have not price that out yet , but will absolutely get one . if the pic be this good through the monitor port , it should be fantastic through the HDMI port ! I still can not believe the size of this thing . I have use -lrb- be a educator of sort -rrb- lot of different projector . they all fail just when you need they because of bulb issue . with a project 20,000 hour life on the bulb -lrb- s -rrb- in this thing , I do not think I have to worry . and I do not have to lug anything fragile and big around . slip this into the laptop bag , and it be good to go . I spend extra and get this model -lrb- 301 -rrb- because of the extra lighting power -lrb- 50 lumen vs. 20 -rrb- plus almost all the cable you would need come with it - plus plenty of outlet without have to have cable adapter . the extra money be worth it . sorry Amazon - I almost always get thing through you , but find it for twenty-some buck cheaper somewhere else and have great service and delivery from they . Equal to Amazon , which be always top-class . this thing be the wave of the future - imho .
172	Projector	NEG	1	I buy this lamp as replacement for my optoma gt 700 and it die in less than 60 hour !! luckily it still have warranty .
503	Projector	POS	4	I order this projector mount and receive it in a timely manner , but to my surprise it be package in a usp box and look to be a home manufacture product . with that say it have instruction and all the part and actually fit the projector 8350 perfectly . no reason to return the product but the box advertise be mislead
516	Projector	POS	5	I be not too sure about this mount when I get it . the description be not very good and the instruction be so so but it adjust to almost any mount scenario that you need . come with lot of extra part in case you need they and extend quite a bit which be what I be look for since I mount it in a room with a cathedral ceiling .
758	Projector	POS	5	I purchase this item to use on my deployment overseas and I be very satisfied w. the product . . I be project about a 80 inch screen on a white sheet . I use it daily to play xbox or watch movie . . I highly recommend this product for the money !!! best bang for my buck besides my Ipod !!!
574	Projector	NEG	1	I hate this one , it doesnot work with computer , and make my event bad , I try many laptop , but failure . i dont know what be wrong , i return it . even i be not professional , amy i dont know how to operater , but the projector should be easy to connect to computer . i mean , should connet automaticlly .
230	Projector	POS	5	I want a cheap led movie projector . I first order the Optoma pt100 , but there be a number of problem : color be not accurate , would not stay in focus , etc. . the Acer k11 be excellent : the color be accurate , the picture be bright enough . I be hesitant to order it because of reviewer who find the fan noisy . I do not think fan noise be excessive , especially when the projector be set in `` video '' mode . this projector do everything it claim to do . with a power draw of only 83 watt and a 30 000 hour bulb light , it be a economical device . its compact size make it portable . I also buy a $ 10.00 tripod to set it on , a 80 inch Epson Duet screen , and a JVC thba1 soundbar . for a total of $ 630.00 $ , I get a nice portable system .
913	Projector	POS	5	I guess I be just crazy for Timex . this dual alarm clock be everything it claim it be . the setup could not have be easier , just plug it in . the alarm be also easy to set . I love the weekend setting as well . my favorite feature be the ceiling project time .
843	Projector	POS	5	nicely make , and work with my Panasonic ae900u -lrb- which have 4 mount point , leave 1 unused -rrb- . stoutly make .
519	Projector	POS	4	quick review : - display : even with my room light on , the display be visible , though clearly less than ideal . it be very bright and crisp in dim room , total darkness not require . also , I love the throw ratio , adjustable zoom , and quick corner feature . you can projector onto a wall at all sort of odd angle and still get a perfectly square image , though the overthrow of light be a bit distracting . - fan noise : the projector still get hot , and the air blow out of the fan be quite warm , but the noise from the fan themselves be not terribly loud . if you plan on use the speaker in the projector , it might be a issue . however , if you have speaker of any sort , then they should easily drown out the fan noise . - Speaker : handy to have , but useless if you plan on use this for movie or game . the lack of a audio out be annoying , and the reason I knock off a star . - input : hdmus , VGA , Composite . lack of component be disappointing , but HDMI be much easier to deal with anyway . note that they projector do NOT come with a hdmus cable . - extra : the include carry case be handy . the remote be pretty nice , though I wish the power would operate the lens cover as well .
13	Projector	NEG	2	order this projector after read good review here and elsewhere . initially I be quite impressed by the image quality , very decent 720p image that match my expectaion . however , about 9 month into use , the projector start develop bad pixel . I make the obviouse mistake of not return it on the spot for a in-warranty repair . initially just a few ... but the situation deteriorate over time . I be now about 18 month from first use and the device be unusable ; there be over 100 bad pixel -lrb- mostly white -rrb- plus a `` bad '' black line run across at about 2\/3 the screen . obviously there be something significantly wrong with the reliability of the dlp device use in this design ... I have contact customer support ... look forward to they reply . Update May-31-12 : have return the unit to Optoma for repair - they gracefully accept this as a `` in warranty repair '' even though technically out of the guarantee 12-month period . good expereince ... make I comfortable of purchase optoma product in the future .
750	Projector	POS	5	I have have this projector for 2 year now . I be use the s-video input -lrb- with a 25 foot Acoustic Research cable -rrb- for dvd , playstation 2 , and digital cable television . I be always happy with the picture but whites be always fuzzy - you could see static on the screen -lrb- in my case a white wall -rrb- . it take some research to find out that svga be the same as component video . so I experiment with a long component video to VGA cable -lrb- 35 ft. -rrb- . in order for this work with cable , I have to upgrade to a hdtv box because they be the only one cox Cable have with component video output -lrb- and hdmus of course -rrb- . WOW ... not only be the picture quality for regular cable increase - the ep719 take the 1080i hdtv signal through this cable no problem -lrb- even recognize it on screen as hdtv in the lower right corner -rrb- . hdtv be so awesome on this projector . huge crystal clear hdtv quality resolution . dvd be also much clearer too . that white fuzziness be completely eradicate . I want to experiment with the hdmus to dvd-d conversion as I imagine the picture will be even better . but in order run everything -lrb- cable , ps2 , dvd -rrb- through my stereo receiver with one cable to the projector I have to stick to one cable type - component video be it . there be absolutely no need to buy a expensive plasma or lcd when for a fraction of the cost you can get the same high-re picture quality with a screen six time the size . no problem either . get yourself a component video to VGA cable -lrb- dirt cheap on ebay -rrb- . or if you have a new receiver that have hdmus input , you can use all hdmus cable and then connect one hdmus cable with a hdmi-dvi-d converter and get the max out of you projector . although , I have read that long run of hdmus lose quality over 10 ft. whereas with component video you be ok up to 50 foot with no signal loss .
319	Projector	POS	5	Have have this for 10 month and it have perform flawlessly . even have a few power outage that shut it down unexpectedly and it still work great . on a 135 '' screen and seat 12 foot away , the picture be great . maybe 1080p would be better but most of what I watch be not 1080p and for the price and lamp life , you can not beat it . more hdmi input would be nice but you can always buy a hdmus switch . I only watch it on eco mode and the picture be great -lrb- window be completely black out and only ambient hall lighting from downstairs -rrb- . even with light on , it do not totally wash out the screen . I be very pleased with this projector and it should last I a while until 1080p projector with longer lasting light source come along -lrb- at a reasonable price -rrb- . do not know about 3d because I be a cheapskate that will not pay $ 100 for glass .
88	Projector	POS	5	I be use this projector from last one year . . its work great and I have not face any issue with this till now .
950	Projector	POS	5	plasma follower say what you like but this projection be it . awesome clarity , a huge picture , hdtv and no hassle with hang on the wall , tv stand or heavy lift to move the darn thing . Yippie aye ay sum it up for I ... and when it get to be summer again I can take it outside on hot night and watch a flick on the wall . do not tell I about bulb life until you read up on this new tech and who say that plasma or lcd 's do not crater within that time frame as well . you say tomatoe , I say tomato , you say plasmo , I say projecto !
236	Projector	POS	4	honestly when i buy this I be not expect that much , but I be prove wrong . this little projector be awesome with only a few flaw . Pros-Price - good picture quality - hdmus output at 1080i - portable for class presentation cons-speaker volume can not be control that I have find , mean that if plug into a source like speaker through audio out jack you will get that crackling noise you would expect if the volume be turn up load . . but most of the time it do not happen . . just a little of the time -lrb- % 5 percent of the time maybe , but it do happen from time to time -rrb- - when I connect my laptop to it the screen flick on a off on projector side no matter what setting I mess with on the computer side -lrb- everything else work fine ... ps3 , xbox 360 , roku xr box , apple 's hdmus a\/v adapter with ipod touch 4 gen plug in , and other laptop -lrb- just not mine -rrb- all in all it be a good projector for the price . the only game I have play on it be COD mw3 , dead island , and mlb the show 11 . . but all those game work and look fine on it . the only problem I have run into be that my laptop just do not like to output to it for some reason .
902	Projector	POS	5	I buy this as my first ever projector to replace a old tv . I have to convince my dad to get this as he be under the impression that projector be no good unless it be completely dark . now that he give it a chance , he be completely satisfied and more , as be i. the projector be very bright , even with a lot of daylight come in through 3 big window in the back of the room . at night , I keep the light in the room at about 50 % and the projector still look amazing at less than half brightness . the picture quality be amazing and it project a huge image from a short distance . furthermore , I be project on a wall without a screen and it still look amazing . I love it . I would buy it again and I recommend it to everyone who be look for a high definition projector and be try to spend less than $ 1k . this projector should be worth a lot more . I do not know how they can get much better than this .
919	Projector	POS	4	install the foot onto my Vivitek 1080fd be a puzzle . take I 4 or 5 attempt to get something that would project and swivel the correct direction . there be a lot of tweak you can make to swivel the projector over different axis once it be initially install . due to the unanticipated flexibility of the mount , I be able to get a extra 10 '' of screen space due to be able to work around my ceiling fan and overall room condition . one complaint I do have be there be only a anchor kit for concrete , but not for drywall . I guess they expect you to find a stud , but in my location I be unable to use the stud and still have the picture center . I just pick up a anchor kit from Home Depot and from there installation go smoothly .
58	Projector	NEU	3	this be my 3rd optoma projector . the first be a sd model that I buy use , lamp never die , and after a few year I resell it work fine . the second be a hd model -lrb- refurb -rrb- , which have to go back for repair , and then eventually die -lrb- lamp be still fine -rrb- just outside of warranty . I get the hd66 to replace it , and just before the year warranty be up it stop turn on . I send it in for repair , and about six month later the problem be back . I open it up , take it apart , clean everything off with can air , put it back together , and voilum ! it be be work fine for a month so far , but I do not expect it to last too much longer . I think I would get a flat screen tv to replace it , but get a great deal on a replacement hd66 so I be go to put that in and keep the old one as a backup when the new one have to go in for repair . : -rrb- Picture be very nice for the price , work well with ambient light , remote be not great , and use a programmable remote like a harmony be kind of a nuisance because of the way the power on\/off work , but it can be do with some tweaking . bottom line : if you can get a good deal on this , and buy on a credit card that double you warranty , go for it .
748	Projector	POS	5	it seem like someone could come up with a cheaper option for such a simple need , but this one be very good . get the job do for not a lot of money . the setup make it so that you 'll be able to use it no matter what type of mount you projector have , and it come with a incredible array of metal screw , so you be sure to have the right one . the only thing you 'll need be the double threaded stud for the ceiling and the nut and washer to go with they . this be a good value .
341	Projector	POS	5	great clock rasdio . I now have three of they . very easy to set up and use . the flashlight that attach to the radio have come in very handy . the flashlight be a great feature . I highly recommend this product .
440	Projector	NEU	3	after two month of use , I feel I do not make a good choice . horizontal movement be not smooth at all . it hurt the eye , especially when watch sport program and action movie . after buy , I find that it be a 24 frame per second projector instead of a 60fp one . Eco mode must be set every time you turn the projector on . the good thing of the pro 8200 you read from the manufacturer be true and plenty to consider , but the extremely annoying horizontal juddering or shake effect must also be consider .
683	Projector	POS	5	I be a little tentative before buy this projector due to the 800 x 600 svga picture , but I be pleasantly surprise that the picture be fantastic . it be bright and vivid , even with some ambient lighting . it do lack a hd input , but as another reviewer -lrb- blaser -rrb- note , you can get around this for less than $ 15 . buy a  VGA to RCA Component RGB Cable - 1.8 m - m\/m  if you need a hdmus input , this will do the trick :  VGA to HDMI Cable M\/M , 6 FT , Black -lrb- Video Card support necessary -rrb-  with these cheap accessory , you can use this projector for 100 '' screen gaming , tv and movie watching , and even computing . as a additional note , we use ours for work seminar and have it run all day with no heating issue .
12	Projector	POS	4	for people who want the extra size view without the weight or price of the alternative ...  Picture quality - xga be beautiful ; most people should be very pleased . Daylight and other light source outside of the projector do affect the viewability of the picture , but it be not extreme . dark part of movie or game may be harder to see during the day . different setting - economic , presentation , vivid , video may improve the picture . during dark hour , no problem exist , even in economic mode .  my main reason for go this route for my home theater be to tie the unit in with my computer . I previously install a tv tuner card and a dvd burner in my home-assembled computer . since most projector , include the Benq , have a vga input port -lrb- the 6200 even come with the cable -rrb- , the connection could not be simpler . I also use a 4-input switchbox to handle my VHS player , xbox and anything else that come along -lrb- for example , a regular dvd player , a tv , my son 's Gamecube etc. -rrb- I set my computer to 1280x1024 which the Benq can handle , compress it to 1024x768 .  Tips -  1 -rrb- Placement if you own you home , you could work a ceiling mount . I use a very reasonably price etagere .  2 -rrb- screen I can not comment on how good a white wall work , because mine be not white . I make my own 4:3 ratio screen from 1x2 dougla fir and 2 yd of 54 '' wide blackout cloth -lrb- from a regular fabric store -rrb- . many people on the internet offer advice on how to do it . Mine be quite light . I use two plastic anchor and extra long screw to hold the bottom edge of the top of the frame on the wall . since many alternative for a screen drive up the price of a economical `` luxury '' system , they be not for I .  3 -rrb- bulb -lrb- lamp -rrb- with a lifespan of 2000-3000 hour and the price of a replacement currently run at $ 400 , I be picky about when I plan to use the projector tv - only for special event -lrb- when I get a hdtv tuner card for the computer , I might feel differently -rrb- ... Video game - often ... movie - virtually every time ... computer\/internet - occasionally when any of these source be well do , one be interested on any size screen .  4 -rrb- sound the Benq only handle the video signal . I be use my computer sound card , which can handle 5.1 sound . with my quality 5.1 speaker , I be in home theater heaven . which bring to my last item , where I could use a tip .  5 -rrb- wire with the Benq projector I have a power cord , a vga cable , a s-video cable , and a composite video cable . add to that all the cable for the aforementioned item , and you have cable jungle - guarantee not to please any woman that I know . I plan to handle part of it with throw rug . as for the rest ... help !  lastly , I need to mention two thing . first , Benq be come out soon with a replacement for the 6200 with the latest DLP chip from Texas Instruments . second , the 6200 keep track of how many hour that it have be use , which you can monitor from its menu program . it will warn as the hour limit approach and actually refuse to start at 3000 hour , until you replace the lamp .
980	Projector	POS	4	this be a pretty good value for the price . I wish it have focus on the remote -lrb- it be manual on the lamp -rrb- and I really wish the picture would scroll down smaller -lrb- it be too big for my screen from across the room -rrb- but it work properly , have good color , clear picture , and be easy to set up . vent get quite warm , pay attention to the warning label . good compact product . fast shipping from Amazon .

I want to have great sound without wor about the wire or the kid move or grabe speaker place around the room . my friend be a audiophile and he have the 4100 then upgrade to the 5100 . he tell I the sound difference be minute I go over and try out he system . I like it and my 4100 sound the same . the difference be the 5100 have two 1 '' balanced-dome tweeter and the cost -lrb- approx 300 -rrb- ; perhaps there be audiophile with ear educate enough to tell the difference ... I be sure they would love to pay $ 300.00 for any subtle improvement . my friend who also install system also help I install the tv , dvd , Cable box and soundbar . the soundbar be also a receiver so the tv , dvd and Cable box be connect through the 4100 . we -lrb- my friend with I as assistant -rrb- update the Bios , install the bracket , mount the bar and calibrate the sound . the sound be perfect in the room no matter where you be but you can barely hear it in the hall even with the door open . so we can watch tv in we room when the kid be sleep . I have a electrical outlet put in the wall behind the tv and the wire be run behind the wall so no tangled wire and no wire visible to tempt the child . plus my husband can now watch the game -lrb- football , basketball or baseball -rrb- when the kid take over the tv in the family room . I would buy this unit again in a heartbeat .
864	Projector	POS	5	wow this thing be fantastic !!! I love it !!! just get do watch the supper bowel with Family and freind in my man cave , the projector exceed my expectation ! wife and I also watch a movie on it last night . you cant go wrong for the price !
569	Projector	POS	4	buy this to use in a classroom . initially it be not bright enough to use without the classroom light turn off . however , aftter adjust the `` brightness '' level we be able to leave the light on . by the way , adjustment in the menu selection can be do on the projector , but I find it a lot easier to use the remote . install the usb software that come on the CD and hook up the usb cable from the laptop to the projector . bring up a powerpoint presentation and quickly confirm my hope that the include remote for the projector be able to run the Powerpoint presentation . if this be the only thing you will be use the projector for , then there be no need to buy another `` wireless mouse . '' however , it will not work with powerdvd . if show video , then do not use the usb cable . the video show fine on the laptop screen , however it be stuttering\/jerky on the projector . plug in the VGA cable and everything run smoothly . come with VGA , usb and `` standard '' electrical power cable . -lrb- the same type of cable most monitor and desktop computer user . this make it easy to find a quick replacement in case you forget yours at home . -rrb- the usb cable be also a standard type a on one end and type b on the other . it be nice to know that I will not have to order special cable if one be damage or lose . keystone adjustment for vertical and horizontal . have a focus and wide\/telephoto adjustment . under the menu option you can see how many hour the projector have on the bulb . Might come in handy to give you a little warning that you need to order a new one . con : turn off quickly and the fan stop . however , the device still feel hot to the touch . I can see this as a positive if you need to unplug and move it to another location quickly , but I would prefer a option to keep the fan run to continue to cool the bulb down . I do not like put the projector back in the bag when it be still hot , so I have to wait even longer than if the fan be cool it down .
873	Projector	POS	5	Ok , so I just receive the hc4000 a few day ago , along with the favus 100 '' manual screen . both from Amazon , as usually Amazon Prime offer the best price , free shipping and no tax . both screen and projector arrive without damage . the review be start with 5 star but I might need to edit as I put on hour . first , I be a total projector newbie . my main passion be 2 channel audio and I own a top notch 2 channel system . of course I love film as well -lrb- sport too -rrb- so my first real solid display be a Pioneer Elite 50 '' Kuro that I buy 4 year ago , which be awesome . Problem be 1 . -rrb- my family and kid have take over the pio 2 . -rrb- even since I say a mitsus projector at my brothr-in-law I have to have one ! after spend many hour on on-line review -lrb- av forum too -rrb- I decide on the Mits over the Benq W6000 . buy anything without hearing or see it first be not a great idea in general , but I know Amazon have a great return policy . First think to notice while unpack this Mits be the size or lack of , totally tiny and light as a feather . I mean , not to complain but one sort of start to wonder why you spending $ 1100 or a feather light plastic item ? well , no worry because once I plug it in , no warm-up , no break-in , no user adjustment , I be totally floor ! amazing be all I can say . play lotr -lrb- non-blu Ray -rrb- from my PS3 look , well , like a movie theater . I also own the oppo-bdp-95 but have it on ther otherside of my room in my 2 channel system , so I be not keeon on run a 25 ' HDMI cable over , which I might try in the future . a bit on the favus 100 '' screen , this sucker be long ! I do all of the measurement several time so I know this be the largest I could fit . I have to say , I would love another 20 '' or so , but not complain . the project be place on a short stand about 17 ' from the screen , so it use about 90 % of the screen area . as other people state , the FAVI screen smell terrible but I hope the plastic smell go away after a few day . screen be solidly build , just hope the mech . do not break as some reviewer complain about on these manual screen . I be go to spend the next few week tweek the setting and try various test disc . I would tell first time Projector buyer do not worry . set-up be simple , take I about 20 minute to hane the screen and maybe 30 minute to unpack the unit and wire it to the receiver .
769	Projector	POS	5	finally , a projector that deliver on all front - I travel a lot in my role as a erp solution consultant and this projector be a must have . image quality be exceptional - that include the extra feature justify the higher price tag -lrb- have say that , I do not think this projector be overprice at all -rrb- . even in a room with standard office light the picture be very clear and text be also clear and sharp -lrb- this be often where cheaper model fall down -rrb- - brightness and contrast exceptional . I be not experience the noise issue that other reviewer be report - the fan be not obtrusive and be quieter than a lot of other projector that I have use . the light weight and size be perfect for true portability . the construction be by no means flimsy - very solid and robust . my aaa + + + purchase of the year .
498	Projector	POS	5	a previous review warn not to use this if bulb burst . this be not correct . I wait to install this second bulb before write this -lrb- this be the second one to burst due to the over 3000 hour use -rrb- . I remove the old burst bulb and see that the damage be contain within the bulb housing . just to insure the best image , I carefully clean the color wheel with a damp qtip and rotate it to get it clean . the new bulb work good as new . my x1 projector image have never look better . if you have any doubt it seem that the bulb can be return as per amazon 's return policy . by the way , I get my bulb from Amazon in 3 day with free shipping .
453	Projector	POS	5	this little projector be amazing for its price and it dose true 720p . i use it for watch movie -lrb- blu ray look great on it -rrb- , watch sport and pc gaming -lrb- mosty -rrb- . i know poeple will say it not the best compare it to larger and more expensive 720p projector but you can not go wrong with this baby .
768	Projector	POS	5	we order this because we older tv finally give out on we . I have to say that I be extremely pleased with this product . if there be some light in the room the picture be still very good . I would not say hd quality but it be a projector what do you expect . in a dark room hook up to we hd box the image project on we plain wall be better than the hd tv we buy a couple year ago !! it really be a great product . I imagine that with a screen behind it during the day would make the quality of the picture better . I would recommend this to anyone . for the price especially you can not beat it .
938	Projector	POS	5	I live in a condo and have no room for a 100 '' permanent screen . I have a nice tv and surround sound setup , but for special movie or event I want a BIG picture . so I buy this screen with the intention of put it in front of my tv when need . this way I can still sit on my couch and still have my speaker orient correctly , etc. . some of the review scare the heck out I . -lrb- damaged arrival , etc -rrb- . Mine be package very well . first I have to remove tie wrap that hold cardboard corner edge on all 4 side ; much like a molding that run down the entire length of the box . then , I open the box to find another box inside that one ! open the inner box reveal foam wrap material and foam corner . the screen be inside this . it be in perfect condition ! the only criticism I can see be that it be not 100 % flat . but roll up\/down screen never be . I watch a movie , play some PS3 , and the lack of perfect flatness be not noticeable to I . in all , I love the purchase ! I consider give it 4 star since it be not `` perfectly flat '' , but then give it 5 because its not fair to expect that and more importantly it be not noticeable .
753	Projector	POS	5	we love we television , and after 3 year the original lamp be still work ! this be we 3rd front projection tv , and it be by far the most dependable -lrb- previous benq and InFocus model be ok -rrb- . the features\/function mix be not perfect , but practical for the budget range of this device . the throw distance of 18 foot across we family room be superb . we have 3800 hour on the manufacturer 's lamp after 3 year of use , and its 2500 lumen continue to shine bright ! when we consider we next lamp replacement compare to a new tv of comparable price , we 'll most likely stick with the Epson ex51 and a new lamp because we be so happy with we family tv . we hope you 'll be as thrill as we have be .
310	Projector	POS	5	I receive the product undamaged , shipping be prompt . it take I all of 5 minute to figure out how it work , and I be instantly amaze at how clear a picture I could get out of such a small device . it claim to be 720 pixel of resolution , and I would say it achieve that goal . I have currently get it blow up to about 60 inch , and the picture be still satisfy . the device have option for adjust keystone , brightness , and color . it also have a handy focus knob . you can hook it up to anything that have rca output , I have mine attach to a dvd player and it work fantastically for that . pro : very affordable -lrb- much cheaper than a flatscreen tv -rrb- , good picture quality , quiet fan , easy to use , extremely portable , impressive . con : the picture can be a little dim if use in a room with too much light . also the tripod it come with leaf something to be desire . at the angle I have it at , it be far too easy to knock it over . also the internal speaker be pretty weak , but it be easy to attach it to my external bookshelf speaker .
508	Projector	NEU	3	if you only want to use this projector to watch sport in hdtv , then I suspect you will be quite satisfied . in a dark room with hdtv it can be truly breathtaking ! keep in mind that you will not get a good picture until you have eliminate almost all surround light . but , the `` rainbow effect '' make watch movie almost painful . Whenever the movie have a bright light mix with a dark background you will not see a white light , but a fast-moving rainbow . I have not see this when watch sport . normal analog tv channel do not look very good on a project screen like this . even digital channel look grainy . but hdtv look awesome ! there be not really a `` screen door effect '' in hd to speak of . I get a huge 100 '' picture at about 14 foot away . at $ 700 , I consider this projector to be a bargain . even though this projector seem to be ideal for hdtv sport , I be concern about the ability to view future hdtv signal because this projector be not compliant with the hdcp stanard that may govern future hdtv broadcast . if that happen in the US , like it have in Europe , this projector would become worthless . the noise level of this projector be higher than I expect , but once the sound be on you hardly notice .
323	Projector	POS	5	this mount fit my Mitsubishi hc1500 perfectly . it have all the hardware I need and a very generous amount of extra hardware , enough to adapt it to any projector . it be adjustable 360 degree around , about 90 up and down , and side to side a couple of inch . it be easy to install . the only downfall be that I do not realize it be white and I would have prefer black . my fault .
29	Projector	POS	5	buy this to function as a home and business projector . we have only use it at home . it be pretty much fool proof ... just plug and play . we have a concrete wall with a ton of texture . the paint color be probably eggshell . it be be really clear . I do not even notice the cinder block line while view the movie . apparently it be make to go on any surface . I do purchase 3 yard of black out fabric -lrb- white drapery lining -rrb- for $ 5\/yd online . if you google\/youtube how to make you own screen , that be what they use . it be 60 '' wide . anyway , I have not use that yet , but I suspect it will be really good since this projector do great on we textured wall . it do not get hot and you do not have to -lrb- at least I do not see that anywhere in the instruction -rrb- wait for it to cool down before turn it off . the case be not great ... it be just a neoprene or something similar that you have to slide in sideways vs. just drop it in from the top , but as long as you have a safe place to store it , it do not really matter . the sound be good for use in we very large open ceiling room , but I have it about 2\/3 of the way up and it be not extremely loud . we have very small child , so it be not blast as I know many people like it . so , if you be plan on use it outside , and you like it really loud , you might consider add some extra umph . oh ... and some people mention this , but it be at least decent with all the light on ... and on another night in the late afternoon ... before the sun go down it do fine . of course , nothing like have all the light off . it be a real pain that the remote do not have a backlight . it do not sound that bad when I read one reviewer say that , but in reality , it be a total pain . I hope Epson update that some how and make it available for purchase . a remote mean to be use in the dark with no backlight make no sense at all . overall , we love it ! I be sick because the price be $ 499 when I first see it and the next day it have jump to $ 592 . have not go back down since . ca not wait to use it outside .

720	Projector	NEG	2	I buy a pc last year with the nVidia 3d system , it come with a Samsung monitor and it look fantastic . I instantly think `` i need a bigger screen '' so I go to nVidia 's page to view compatible display . the Optoma hd66 be and still be list as be compatible an support . so I buy one ... well guess what ? it be neither compatible or currently support . if you search the nvidium page you will find that if you hd66 be build before August of 2010 -lrb- that be right , August of 2010 ! -rrb- it will not work . I then call Optoma tech support and be tell by the phone tech that in order for it to work , it have to be send back to the factory for modification and that I would be responsible for the shipping ... I tell the guy that that be outrageous and I would simply return it and get something that actually do work as advertise . in case you wonder , I purchase the Acer h5360 . . I should have purchase it the first time around , not only do the 3d work flawlessly , it have way more feature than the hd66 like `` auto keystone , auto orientation , color wall compensation '' to name a few . if you look for a 3d projector that really deliver , you can wait two month till the actually compatible hd66 's hit the street -lrb- and hope they work -rrb- or you can get the Acer h5360 . of course deal with Amazon be the only way to go , the return of the hd66 be simple and I be enjoy real 3d in my living room on the Acer .
217	Projector	POS	4	the Epson Powerlite 1775w be very light and very easy to set up . the picture quality and brightness be excellent even with light turn on . I be very happy with this equipment .
263	Projector	POS	5	I love my Epson Powerlite s1 . I use it regularly for PowerPoint presentation in office setting and as a big screen tv in we home theater . for PowerPoint it do a tremendous job , provide clean , crisp image . for home theater the room can not be too bright in order to see all of the detail , but that be a small concession to make for a projector that offer ease of use , very good quality , affordable replacement bulb price , and enough power to get the job do - all for under $ 1000 . very tough to beat this deal !
598	Projector	POS	5	this be my fourth projector and my second unit use a DLP chip . I can easily see rainbow in single chip dlp projector but this one almost completely eliminate they . I can still see a few rainbow , especially when there be bright object in a mostly dark scene , but it be hardly noticeable to I and none of my friend have be able to see they yet . if you be one of the few people who be bother by the rainbow effect , you may still want to demo this projector before purchase it online . I be originally use a gray screen in a light-controlled media room but the black with the darkchip3 be so good I move to a Stewart Filmscreen studiotek130 screenwall and the picture be spectacular . I recommend use a white screen with this unit . there be no gap between pixel or mirror dimple so the image be silky smooth . after calibrate with dve , the color be incredible . Colors pop , black be black and whites be white . Optoma have a zero dead pixel policy and a nice warranty . they also offer affordable -lrb- cheap , imo -rrb- extend warranty and upgrade service plan to meet you need . if you be in the market for a top-of-the-line single chip dlp projector , I honestly do not think you can get much better than this .
324	Projector	POS	5	I get mine for 299 from Dell web site . that be still a hefty price - wait 5 year and you will find better one for 99 . I be a artist and I work by project color slide on my paper or canvas . I have need to go digital for a long time , but the standard laptop projector be big , heavy , noisy , expensive , and too bright . the new little one either do not connect to a laptop or get terrible review . this one be just right . it be also fun to project movie on the bedroom wall , but remember , the brightness be 50 lumen , and you standard video projector be about 2,000 , so you want total darkness and it be still not the same . the projector be tiny , light and quiet , and have a lot of nifty sophisticated electronics , BUT THERE 's no tripod screw socket !!! , the cable and connector be bulky and awkward , the cord to the laptop be only 2 ' long -lrb- get a extension -rrb- but it be the best one on the market so far .

540	Projector	NEU	3	its like a erector set . lot of part . it will come together but it take a assembler a good 2 hour to figure it out . the fit be tight upon assembly . you will need to hammer some piece together on assembly . its that tight . the anchor base be the hardest to assemble and require tool not suggest by the direction to make it work . once the bracket be assemble it be fairly easy to manipulate . provide plenty of adjustment configuration . nice powder coating of paint . however tight fitting piece will chip and scratch the paint off in the connection area . if tight on budget but not time this be a good device .

942	Projector	POS	5	I have research for a while for the best Pico Projector right now . after see all the trust review -lrb- TechCrunch , PC World , etc -rrb- I think this would be the brightest Pico projector with the most functionality . I be one of those guy that may not ever use all the option on a device , but like to have that option available if ever the time for it come up . the p4 do not disappoint , for something so little , it be very bright . I be surprise to see how bright this thing be ! I use it to connect to my lap top and watch movie because I tend to travel a lot and watch with friend . they all love it too . the one thing that be a minor annoyance be the fan , but if you be watch a movie with the speaker on , it be not so bad . I would recommend this to a friend .
412	Projector	POS	5	I be very satisfied with this purchase . product be a good value and arrive in excellent condition .

I would definitely suggest this to a friend -lrb- in fact my brother-in-law be pick one up -rrb- .
146	Projector	NEG	1	have be able to use mine for about 40 hour . after that it fail to respond to any input from any source . contact Benq and they say there be nothing they could do but send it in for repair since they have be have problem with these unit . send it in and get it back . it work once during a test preparation for a presentation but once again fail to acknowledge any input when turn on the next day during the actual presentation . contact Benq and they say I could have it repair -lrb- be not repair last time -rrb- or receive a refurbish unit -lrb- someone else 's problem -rrb- . so be work on my third round , maybe I 'll be lucky this time . it will be my last Benq product .

273	Projector	POS	4	I buy this projector last month and i be impressed with the brightness in ECO mode . I use it only to watch movie and sport . I shoot a 120 inch image on my living room white wall , it be awesome . it be worth every penny . can not beat it for the price .
596	Projector	NEU	3	have this projector for about a year now , so I have have plenty of time to mess around with it . the picture quality be subpar when compare to most modern tv and the refresh rate seem pretty low . I still prefer to watch movie on my other tv and only really use this to play PS3 and Wii game on . even with the less than ideal picture , it be a great value and well worth the price . my son and I enjoy play game on it especially since we play alot of split screen game and even with the screen split we can still easily see we section of the screen due to we overall screen size be around 100 inch . as other have say , the fan in this unit be really loud . I be wonder if you can replace it with something else , since it appear to be the same size\/type as the fan you would find in a computer . also , the lack of a zoom function mean you need to move the unit closer\/further away from you screen to change the size . this limit you mounting\/install option .
505	Projector	POS	5	I purchase the Optoma hd66 a few week ago and I be very impressed with its performance . the projector size be compact with a quiet fan and picture quality be extremely good . set up be a breeze and the 720p image via HDMI be superb . I couple it with the Optoma 3D-XL adapter for 3d projection and be extremely pleased with the 3d output -lrb- although one do tend to lose some picture brightness -rrb- . I would describe the overall value at this price range as excellent . the ability to also project 3d -lrb- with the 3d-xl adapter -rrb- with great result make this a fantastic solution for 3d projection on a budget . fantastic projector !

805	Projector	POS	5	I purchase this item for company use base upon the review I read here . this unit exceed we expectation . keep in mind that I be review a new product -lrb- 1 month old -rrb- so I can not speak to durability . however , the unit seem well build by today 's standard and everything work well out of the box . the upside that we have so far observe be as follow : the unit be very easy to set up . it need almost no preparation to start show dvd . as for connect we computer , I use the provide VGA cable and it immediately recognize my computer . the picture be amazingly clear , even in a light room . -lrb- we be not aware that this be a hdmus capable unit . we will not necessarily be use that function anytime soon , but it be worth note -rrb- . the dvd play nicely and be easy to control . we recently have a problem with a dvd in a important presentation , which be why we begin look to upgrade . I wish we have this unit at that time ! the internal sound be exceptional ! we primary presentation room be 45 ' x 100 ' , and we do not even need to turn the unit all the way up for everyone to hear the presentation loud and clear . it automatically play the sound from dvd , but if we run sound through a computer we need to hook up a audio cable which we have to purchase separately for $ 14.00 . the sound quality from dvd be superior to the sound quality from the computer . we have not use the microphone function , so I can not comment on that feature . the other feature I like be these ; easy remote control , the slide lens cover be build in rather than separate , screen balance function allow for a nice `` in proportion '' picture , the fan be pretty quiet , and dual front leg rather than just one . the price although not cheap , be acceptable and fall within we budget . the only downside observe be that the provide carry case be a little flimsy . it be not bad , but it be not that good either . I highly recommend this product for small to medium multi-media presentation . P.S. I have come back now to add to my review . this projector continue to work flawlessly even though other office group constantly borrow it . it be hold up well and it have eliminate previous presentation problem we have encounter with we previous projector . we have also add the microphone , both wire and wireless -lrb- purchase from Radio Shack -rrb- . they work really well , but note we need to also purchase a adapter to size down from 1\/4 '' standard jack to 1\/8 '' computer size so these mic will fit into the projector . P.P.S. another return to add to my review . I be so pleased with this machine that I just buy another one . this one arrive with a cord microphone include . this be unexpected and I think that be pretty cool .
857	Projector	NEG	1	I 'll chime in that mine , too , shut off randomly and will not allow I to do anything useful with it . I think it be a great thing to play Guitar Hero on , since there be no lag and it have a good picture , but 3 month later and it just shut off for fun . if someone could post a nice repair guide for it I would love to take a look . there be no way I be send it to Kansas like the other guy who make a comment .
39	Projector	NEG	2	I purchase the Optoma PT100 PlayTime lead gaming Projector not as a gaming projector , but to project my computer screen for team meeting . the quality be barely satisfactory , but usable when first turn on . the quality diminish the longer the projector be on , within the first hour the quality be so poor we could not continue with the presentation . Amazon make it very easy to return this product .
808	Projector	POS	4	it be not the brightest projector but it work well in a dark room . I use this for `` drive in movie night '' on my garage and it work great . it really shine up close though with the image under 55 '' or so . most people probably buy this for business or some practical purpose but I buy it just to use with my tablet for play game or watch movie while camping , etc. . the only downfall I have find be that it be way dimmer when run on battery and it wont last long enough for a full movie . I wish there be a external battery system for it that would allow it to work on full brightness for 3 + hour . if you be look for a tiny projector that can be use anywhere , this be the best I could find and I be very happy I buy it .
77	Projector	POS	5	I have have the product now for over a month . I can not find a flaw . the flashlight be handy and it work . the sound be excellent -lrb- we baby find they soothing -rrb- . and the projector work well and have excellent range .

45	Projector	POS	4	my wife use it for enlarge artwork : she sketch at a convenient size , photograph the sketch , and the project the image onto a large canvas for trace . the device be handy and adequately bright to project a enlarged image in a well-lighted work area and be truly perfect for the application . the device ship with a simple quick-start guide , but the full manual be available for download from 3M ; have the manual be a comfort but it be really unnecessary unless there be a malfunction with the device . it would get five star except for a couple of negative : 1 -rrb- operation be intermittent apparently due to a bad battery connection ; however Amazon replace the original unit within five day of be notify 2 -rrb- while it support jpeg apparently there be jpeg and then there be jpeg : my wife use two camera , a Nikon SLR and a Nikon pocket camera ; image from the slr transfer via computer to the device with no problem , but image from the pocket camera give a `` format not support '' message . the workaround be simple , just run the image through any photoshop-like application to reformat it and it work fine but it be puzzling that the problem exist at all . as state in other review , this device be not really suitable for project presentation for group , but I would highly recommend it for any more intimate setting such as display of photograph to a friend -lrb- set it on a table and project onto a sheet of white cardboard work fine -rrb- and it be absolutely perfect for my wife 's art application .
629	Projector	NEG	1	this projector need a lot of darkness in the room . the focus on it be very sensitive also . you basically get what you pay for , do not have high expectation for this device .
128	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector for my classroom and it have be great ! it be quiet and do not overheat easily . I use this on and off for 6 hour a day and I have not have any problem !
134	Projector	POS	5	I purchase this projector because of its size , I can easily carry it with I from home , classroom , and meeting . it fit in my purse and along with a netbook make for a very versatile , easy to carry system . the image be bright clear and easy to see , and the speaker be very good . we child hook they computer up and view the screen on the living room and they bedroom wall . it be easy to move around ~ one of the girl use it with she rocket team in the backseat of the van so all team member could see and discuss the computer output , and need change for the next qualify launch . it can be use everywhere , even outside to watch show on the front porch . the price make it most affordable . I have be delighted to have it .
538	Projector	POS	4	I originally want a 3d led tv , but my wife convinced I to go with a projector for the den . this projector work very well . 3d effect be great : -rrb- and even the 2d to 3d upscaling feature work well -lrb- for depth 3d -rrb- . very quiet during operation . 2d color and picture be clear as crystal at 92 inch screen . I do realize that bulb go fairly quickly on these , so I will purchase a back-up just in case .
821	Projector	POS	5	I be very happy with this purchase . this work great for watch movie ! I use a new white sheet and hang it on the wall with thumb tack . for the price this projector deliver a nice 60 '' picture . I would highly recommend this product and seller !
339	Projector	POS	4	I have be run my ep719 as a third monitor and\/or tv for near 2 month now and be quite pleased with its performance to date . it do not balk at extended gaming session or movie marathon , and the resolution be high enough to still see detail . it perform admirably with game such as Halo 3 , the Unreal Tournament 3 demo , and Hellgate : London . the color become a little wash out when my room light be on , or the window shades be open , but the screen be still easily visible -lrb- and playable , for gamer -rrb- . but in a darkened room , it work wonder . the only thing keep it from a 5 out of 5 be the visibility of color wheel artifact -lrb- rainbow effect -rrb- when display highly contrast area -lrb- ie : power line run across a open sky in a move shot - the dark line and immediate area waver with shimmering color -rrb- . but from what I have see at this point , the majority of view material do not contain high enough contrast to make this much of a issue . all in all , I be happy with the projector , and would recommend it as a basic entry-level projector for people such as myself who be new to the projector scene .
757	Projector	POS	4	well , now there be a new model that be perhaps quite better , but this be a wonderful piece ...
364	Projector	POS	5	very sturdy and solid construction . mount to a Dell 2400 projector be a little bit tricky because the projector only have one hole and I think this mount be for three hole . anyway , I figure it out and now it just sit there hold up the projector . the wall mount screw be a bit long - I use some shorter one that work better . I be happy with this product and would buy it again .
539	Projector	NEU	3	the screw be too tight so i round all of they try to slacken they
833	Projector	POS	5	the time from order to delivery be very good . I love the projector . it do just as describe in they literature . clear picture in a dimly light room and very good picture in a dark room . the fan be a little loud but if there be some background sound it be not noticeable . actually not much different from some bulb type projector I have work with . overall I would recommend this projector .
482	Projector	POS	5	I have have this projector setup since oct '04 and use it as a daily tv . I currently have it project on to a blank wall , which work just fine . I have log over 1000 hr on the unit and it be still work great . it do not work well in a brightly light room , but with only low watt accent light it seem to be just fine . I have it setup with my computer and use a hdtv ota card and the image blow I away . I use a dvd player on the s-video and it seem to run fine , although the only way to get the crisp hd be to use the XGA port . the only time I have really notice anything on it and this be pretty small , but on a really dark movie and say there be a light post or car light drive by ... if you look away at that point you 'll see a rainbow tracer as you look away in the shape of that white light . oh and Analog cable seem to be a little grainy and be really noticeable on cartoon like the Simpsons . but with high def or digital cable you should be just fine . I would recomend if you can find one at a reasonable price to buy a ceiling mount . I just buy one and install it last week and the native off-axis angle be set to be ceiling mount so no need to keystone . the remote be a small credit card size with bubble button . the source button go out on I after 4 month , but there be a option in the menu to have auto-searching on the source so you do not have to change it manually . the pip option be kind of cool with 9 different positioning for it and two different size small and medium . and on a 6 ' x 6 ' wall the small be hard to see . let see what else , oh the fan noise be very quiet . the spin up of the xbox dvd 's be louder . I choose this one over the 6100 because of the native resolution . 1024 x 768 -lrb- max 85hz -rrb- on the 6200 vs the 800x600 on the 6100 . I have play halo2 , halflife2 , rise of Nations , watch dvd 's from Futurama - avp , use it as a daily tv - host a great Superbowl party . this be a must have in my book . Hope this help as a review ...
935	Projector	POS	4	so I buy one of these after I read all the review and jsut have to see it for myself . it be advertise as hd 1080 so I figure how bad could it be ? I have have this projector for a week and I have determine that for what I pay it be really not bad . on my unit if you be not use a hdmus connection the picture be not great . with my DIRECTTV hd box and a 25 ' HDMI cable the picture be good at about a 72 '' x 72 '' square -lrb- it scale it to a 4:3 image-no widescreen -rrb- on a wall paint a burnt orange-i have a 70x70 screen on the way and imagine the picture will be nice for movie and sport . the fan be loud sit next to I on a table but mount on the ceiling not so much . the speaker of the unit be loud enough for a basement rec room but I plan on get some sort of sound system eventually . for 200 buck honestly I can not complain about it one bit . it be what be it a entry level projector . the picture be good for 200 I have a wall-sized tv and the sound be fine from the unit . use av cable the picture be not very good on my unit but i want it mainly for my hd box and occasional dvd 's and will just switch out the HDMI cable . as far as I can tell the only way to get a hd-type picture be with the HDMI cable .
726	Projector	POS	4	I have always want a projector and be excite to put the Epson VS series vs210 3lcd to work when I receive it . Problem . it do not come with all of the cord it be capable of be connect to . after search my house for day -lrb- because I be hopeful to find one and not have to purchase one -rrb- I finally find the cord I need . once the cord glitch be take care of this projector be a snap to use . after hook it up to my computer it be very easy to install and download what I need . I use the projector to view photo from a vacation and be very impressed with the clarity and the ease of use the remote as well as the projector itself . it be also very easy to get into focus , and be a product that will work well for home or office . if you be a photographer you 'll have fun show off you photo , and I can think of many work\/school\/4h project that this projector will come in handy for . if you need to take it on the go , it be lightweight and hook up quickly , it also seem well make . I really do not have anything to compare it to since I have never use one before , but I be happy with the quality of this Epson Projector .
983	Projector	POS	5	Time to install : 1h tool require : drill + bit -lrb- for mount hole -rrb- , metric hex key ease of installation : medium -lrb- read the manual make all the difference -rrb- satisfaction with final installation : high I buy this mount to ceiling mount my Viewsonic Cine1000 DLP projector and find this kit to be perfect . I have a low , sloping ceiling with expose beam in my entertainment\/multi-media room , so the 6-axis adjustability , couple with the low profile , really help to turn the projector from a obstruction to a asset ! a couple of note from my installation experience : 1 . plan out you installation before start - this will save you oodles of time and prevent you from install and then re-installing 2 . dry-fit the projector to the mount bracket before mount it to the ceiling to make sure that it will hold you projector the way you want it 3 . have a friend help when you need to mount the projector to the ceiling bracket - it will make alignment much faster 4 . think about how the wire be go to run to the projector once you be do so you can incorporate the right length of conduit side note - I be a engineer , so I do not get frustrate with all of the adjustment and mount hole as some other reviewer do ... instead it be a wonderful little puzzle to do . however , I can see how people could get frustrated , so dry fit the assembly first : -rrb-
94	Projector	POS	5	Works well as advertise , with good color and easy to use . I like not have to bother with focus the image . I wish the picture be bigger , but it be big enough for small presentation in a dark room . much more convenient than carry a big projector around , but be not as big as the picture you would get with a regular powerpoint projector
170	Projector	POS	5	purchase this when it first come out . use it in conjunction with a 10 ' out door blow up movie screen for family movie . great picture quality , Neighborhood kid usually show up to watch movie also . would highly recommend . can not beat the price , size and quality of the unit .
232	Projector	POS	4	I buy this projector 2 day ago , and I have to say , it be better than expect . I try it out with a photo slideshow I create on my laptop . the picture quality be absolutely satisfactory ; even in a room that be not completely dark . I save the slide show in mp4 on a SDHC card and have some start difficulty , because the the projector `` tell '' I that this format be not support . a phone call to Aaxa 's customer service solve this problem in less than 10 minute . Aaxa 's customer service be second to none . I reach a representative without have to go through painful step with a voice recognition computer . this representative send explain to I what the problem be -lrb- codec issue -rrb- and send I the solution , a link to FormatFactory , by email in less than 5 minute after I hang up the phone . I convert the slideshow with this application and it work like a charm afterwards . tha p1 Jr. be a nice little gadget , and in my opinion deliver a better quality than one would expect for a 100-bucks projector . a flexible minus tripod , mini usb to usb adapter , and av cable be include . it be easy to use , and I be sure I will have lot of fun with it in the future . the only con be , that it do not have a connection for external speaker . the internal speaker do not really cut it .
234	Projector	POS	4	I wish it be little bit better . 1 . native resolution of 1080p . -lrb- native resolution : 800 x 600 -lrb- svga -rrb- , which be old enough -rrb- 2 . support hdmus 1.2 or better 1.3 I will take this projector . Hopefully Epson will listen to user comment
520	Projector	POS	5	it be easy to use , small , compact and low weight , the clarity of picture , pircture quality be nice , it work very good with daylight and even better with no light , I have not test the function of 3d because I do not have video card but I supuosse that it be good too
191	Projector	NEG	1	I do a lot of presentation , and the most important thing I need be the ability to control the presentation -lrb- move the powerpoint slide up and down -rrb- from the remote . this projector do not allow you to do that . when I call Optoma to ask how to use the remote to do this -lrb- think I be miss something -rrb- , they say they have make a marketing decision to not put that feature into they cheaper projector . well , they may think $ 650 be cheap , but that be real money for something that do not do the most basic thing need in a business projector . the remote be also miss a `` hide '' function , which I find very useful . if you do not need either of these function , the projector be fine . also , if you be a road warrior like I be , 5 pound end up be too heavy . Stick to a 3 pound model . Optoma make one , it cost about $ 1000 , it probably have all the miss function , but after this experience I will not be go back to they . I 'll most likely be buy another Planar .
358	Projector	NEU	3	this be a neat little devise , but it be not easy to understand . the internal space be say to be around 54mb but in actuality it be only about 20mb . I can not get the dual viewing -lrb- laptop and projector -rrb- to work and the so call user guide be a joke . all in all disappointing for the amount of money pay . not happy at all .
26	Projector	POS	5	we have have the original for 5 year when this one finally give up the ghost . we use it for the purpose of theater entertainment and have serve we well . in the 5 year we use 2.5 lamp -lrb- 1\/2 use be still in the broken unit -rrb- . for the price it sure beat buy a 60 '' tv set , and we have a 120 '' screen . thanks for a great product .
85	Projector	POS	4	I receive the projector in a quick time especially due to I be overseas . the projector be awesome and I have ZERO complaint !
281	Projector	POS	5	I have use many projector in my career but never use a InFocus Projector . when I buy it I like the price and decide to give it a try . the projector be send to I in a very timely fashion . it be use but in great shape and very easy to use . all in all this have be a good experience
23	Projector	POS	5	great screen . Works excellent . own for 1 month now and no issue . smell bad when it be first open but that go away in a couple day . can not beat it for the price .
932	Projector	NEU	3	this projector ceiling mount be economical and do the job of hold my Optoma projector up in the ceiling . Amazon have help I set up my family movie room by have all the a\/v product available .
214	Projector	POS	4	I end up buy this Epson as it have the combination I be look for : size : as I need something very portable . money : as I do not want to spend over $ 600 . clarity : as I need to do PowerPoint presentation in well light medium size room with audience from 5-70 . I would say the this projecter exceed my expectation in all 3 category . the size be smaller than I expect . it fit perfectly along with my MacBook in the same briefcase which be not that big . the usb connection to my Mac work great and no setup need . it connect to my Mac via usb and via the include video cable -lrb- of course you need to have the MAC video adaptor if you wih to use the standard video cable -rrb- . calrity be great and the picture be sharp in the native 1024x768 resolution , enough in a well light room with a screen size of about 100 '' use economy mode . the only caveat be the fan sound be a bit loud , so in a smaller area it will be noticeable and will require you shift to economy mode , which be extremely reasonable . my thought be the projector small size have to do with the fan be noisy as there be no easy way to discharge so much heat through a small opening without much noise . lead projecto size be so small be tempting , but be a bit on the weak side for daylight . I check all of they -lrb- Optoma , Viewsonic , Acer and LG -rrb- . Casio be awesome but cost be -rrb- $ 800 , and the fan get a bit loud on this model as well . to get something in this size in lcd , I would have have to go to SVGA -lrb- 800x600 -rrb- . so for a combination of size , clarity and cost , this one be the best I could find . for $ 500 , this be a great deal . the carry case that come with it be great look and very functional , although I do not use it as like I say before - it fit in my pc case with ease . bottom line , if you need something that to use for powerpoint presentation and travels in the same case as you notebook , this be the one . it be easy to connect , it turn on and shut down super fast , and it auto correct its positining in a smart way . for the clarity and size , it be worth more than $ 500 . if you do not care about the size , there be many other option that will not be as loud as this one .
318	Projector	POS	4	I love the screen . Easy to set up . arrive early . packaging be great . -lrb- seem almost overdo -rrb- all the mechanism work . the screen be flawless and easy to clean . why the four star , you might ask ? when I open the box , I be surprise at how well it be package . no way , this be go to be damage while be ship . however , there be two spot on the metal that be bent . I do not know how it would have happen , because there be no scrape on it . just two bend . this in no way affect the screen or the use of the screen assembly . it do what it be suppose to and look great ! deserve five star for the quality , but think everyone need to know about the bend .
92	Projector	POS	5	I have be use this projector for about a month . so far , no problem . Picture quality be very good for a projector price under $ 200 . I order on a Thursday and receive it on Monday . definitely recommend .
497	Projector	POS	5	this be my first projector mount , and will likely be my last . I be very hesitant to install a mount to begin with , my handyman skill be somewhat lack , but I really need to get my projector up and out of the way . I use this with a Epson 8350 . install the bracket onto the projector be a breeze , as be install the mount into the ceiling . the fine tuning of the positioning of the projector in the mount take a little time , but only because of my `` OCD '' . the adjustment screw hold the projector firmly in position and I have have zero issue with vibration or have to re-adjust the mount . for the price , this mount simply can not be beat imho .
377	Projector	POS	5	I manage to get a PS3 and know I need a new hd projector to properly represent the blu-ray movie and next-gen game . after search for month over the net I finally find ton of good review on the pt ax100u and decide to go for it . even though it be native resolution be 720p , it be HDMI input accept 1080p\/60 even 1080p\/24 ! plus it handle all the resolution below . boy be I impress ! the jump in quality of even the sd tv image be immediately noticable ! it do a good job of upscale my current sd satellite line up . the PS3 set itself to 1080p when connect to this projector and the picture look excellant . the blu-ray movie be very clean and sharp ! the brightness be finally good enough to still watch program with the curtain a bit open and a decent amount of light come through . it look like a massive lcd or plasma screen . the color and contrast be very good as well . I be very happy with this purchase and so be all my friend and guest who come over and be shock by the clarity and brightness ! let 's hope it work well for a long time to come .
221	Projector	NEG	2	in December 2002 I purchase a x1 -lrb- see my review under infocus x1 -rrb- and this projector be still go strong and I love it . if you can find a use one , I would still definitely rcommend it . note that if you be use it in a dusty area , you must clean the bulb filter about every six month -lrb- I blow the first bulb at a year by not do this -rrb- . however , I have a very different experience with the x1a . the composite video be never as good as the x1 which would seem to be because it have a different , inferior decoder . after a little more than a year it start make a loud buzz noise and then it quit . since I only have a 1 year warranty , I decide to just forget about it . I have since replace it with a refurbish infocus 4805 which so far be work great and be reasonably quiet . Stay away from the x1a . I give it 2 star because for the year it do work it be excellent for play dvd 's from the computer .
337	Projector	POS	5	this be a winner . Works very well , color be good , and adjustable , frame alignment for key ning be good , quite a package for the price !
733	Projector	POS	5	I purchase the pro8200 to replace a aging Infocus x1 that still work great but be little use after my purchase of a 52 '' hd lcd tv 5 year ago . the x1 be not hd . see price drop to below $ 1k on 1080p projector I do a little research and decide it be time to jump to hd for my ` man Cave ' theater which get little use since the 52 '' lcd set become the primary viewing experience in the living room . if you do you own research you will find the pro8200 offer 2000 lumen and about the longest lamp life you 'll find -lrb- 4000 hr standard\/6000 hr eco -rrb- -- yes , 6000 hour . and , it be plenty bright on eco mode . this thing be a light cannon . the image be full 1080p hd and be really eye poppingly great . when you first turn it on you might get a bit concerned when you can not quite get the ViewSonic logo to focus really crisp . do not FRET ... the logo be not hd . when you play a hd source the true excellence of the full 1080p image will be see it all its glory . I see no rbe -lrb- heck , I do not see any rbe even with the x1 so I must be immune anyway -rrb- . I also do not see any horizontal panning or judder issue that other mention . maybe those with issue have older firmwared unit ? the build date on my pro8200 be May 2012 . another factor in my purchase decision and a feature I really like be the range of zoom available on the pro8200 . this allow more flexibility in distance to screen placement . if you get one , do not forget to go into the menu 's to turn off ` quick on ' and ` quick off ' as that will enable the unit to cool off the bulb when power down with about 30-60 seconds of extra fan time on the bulb after it go dark . you may also want to enable eco mode to get the insane 6000 hour bulb life . if you be on the fence get off and get one of these ; you will not be disappoint .
33	Projector	NEG	1	this product seem to come with improper part , the instructions\/separation of item be incredibly difficult to understand , and at the end of the day that piece work so poorly that I through it out and just install a shelf for my projector instead . do not buy it .
196	Projector	NEG	1	we purchase a BenQ pb 6100 . if the overall quality of the projector be fine , such be not the case of the lamp which blow up in less than 6 week !!! and worse benq do NOT honor they international guarantee and the support center do not respond to the email for exchange the lamp -lrb- price 400 $ ! -rrb- . overall a very poor support . my last boxlight lamp be still run after 4 year . this be my first benq but surely the last . a strong suggestion , do not buy BenQ .
353	Projector	NEG	1	as of this point we have be unable to connect we Mac laptop and get it to show the screen . why do they not say it will not work with a Mac ?
62	Projector	POS	5	the price and ease of use be excellent . I use this projector with my Macbook at we family reunion to show heritage dvd I make . we also play movie to keep the youngster occupy . it work great . good picture . the sound we use be a amp my husband use for he music gig , attach to the laptop . very satisfy with the product .
723	Projector	NEU	3	when I get the product , it be a lot smaller than I think it would be , also didnt come with any information about battery -- as on the actual box it come in say to look at the manual inside the box - but there be nothing in there ! otherwise , it work well , I little choppy with the `` wave '' , and make little noise . overall , its a cool purchase -- maybe not for $ 30 though .
828	Projector	POS	4	I would read one other review suggest that the projector will be find to be less than desirable after 10 month of usage so I want to add my own review . I have be use my pj550 for four year now and have not have a bit of trouble with it . it work well and provide great color and although as one review suggest it could stand to be a bit better on the output level it still work fine for I in a large training room .
391	Projector	POS	5	I project from my computer through hdmus onto a big white peice of fabric I buy at the fabric store for $ 18 . I have it in a spare room set up at about 100 '' and it look spectacular . it be not hd quality , but it be a $ 200 projector , the bulb alone for most other projector be more than that . everyone be very impressed with the projector , it put out nice color and have decent contrast . I have be watch star war and it make my girlfriend get sea-sick every time there be a fly scene . it really be that good . the selling point for I on this projector be that replacement bulb be only $ 25 . . that be insanely cheap , I will be buy several bulb so I can use this projector for year to come . I may even buy a few more of the unit for the office , live room ect . .
393	Projector	NEU	3	I be install a projector in a theater room with a drop ceiling so I could not use the standard mount , I need something that would extend down from the joist above . mount to the joist present no real problem . however , the length of the extension pole be very problematic for the height at which I need the projector . the increment of adjustment be not fine enough and it would not seem difficult to engineer a mechansim that be infinitely variable . attach the projector be a bit clumsy as well . I find the extension arm too bulky to easily move they where I need . the pitch and roll adjustment work well but unlike what be advertise or show in the installation illustration , there be no horizontal shift adjustment on the mount I receive . thankfully I have it very well center . finally , the cable management system be sub-par . with all the bolt run through the extension pole there be precious little room for the power cord and a heavy duty hdmus cable . it do come with ton of different screw , bolt etc. . . to fit just about any projector . I get it to work but with more difficulty than should have be necessary . I would search for something better next time . PS : when I call the tech support line I be able to get someone on the phone but they seem know less than I do and I be new at this .
640	Projector	POS	4	I have be use a front projection setup for several year now , start with a serendipitous purchase of a NEC lt150 that be a `` price mistake '' find . after get it and figure out how to mount it , put up a screen and run cable in the ceiling with a friend 's help , I have be hook on the true theater type experience that a projector provide . it be a dim , loud , business class projector but still a thrill to have a 100 '' picture . I upgrade over the year to a brighter NEC business projector , then finally enter real home theater projector land with a 1080p optoma hd80 . at the time , the hd80 be one of the best bang for the buck projector ever make , and I enjoy the heck out of it . one of the thing that bug I with the NEC business projector be the dreaded dlp `` rainbow effect '' , and with the hd80 that be minimize enough that it never really bother I . I be fairly sensitive to it , apparently , and could force myself to see it on the hd80 but only by unnatural thing like shake my head . unfortunately after 2 1\/2 year the hd80 die , and I decide to look around for new model since 1080p have become the standard , and less of a premium feature . the Benq W6000 be high on my radar because it be one of the very few moderate price dlp model that include lens shift . its brightness be another attribute I like since I have a `` living room ht '' without full light control , and the extra brightness be great for those afternoon football game . I end up buy a Epson 8100 lcd unit locally , and the w6000 here , and compare they -lrb- eventually add a Sony SXRD model to the mix to hit all 3 major projector technology -rrb- . the Benq live up to its billing , produce a very bright , dynamic picture . after some tweak to the initial base setting , I be pretty happy with the overall picture , color , black level etc. . as another reviewer note , Dynamic Black seem to cause a little too much iris noise so I also turn it off , and do not notice much difference in the overall picture . but one problem come back ... rainbow . the color wheel be actually only a 4x speed , as oppose to the 6x speed that the hd80 use . in addition , extra brightness seem to make ANYTHING more noticeable , rainbow include . after a couple of week , I just could not live with it and end up return it . if you be not sensitive to this artifact , the w6000 be a fantastic projector . I really , really want it to work for I but end up pay more for the SXRD unit -lrb- Sony vpl-hw15 -rrb- . -lrb- I be not overly impressed with the Epson 8100 , though it be a lower price model so not a really fair comparison - I wish I would be able to find a 8500 to try instead . -rrb-
709	Projector	POS	4	use this projector for about a week now and so far so good . I do quite a bit of research on hd projector and find that this be the best one for the price . color be deep and good . image be good even in a reasonably light room . I will share more great purchase overall .
428	Projector	POS	5	I be use this mount with a optoma hd20 and it have do a great job . it will take you a few minute to sort out what need to be do with the piece in the box , but it be not hard and very flexible ... look like it would fit just about any conceivable projector . the material be pretty high quality . be aware that the minimum height from ceiling to where it grab you projector be about 15 '' -lrb- not 12 '' as some have say -rrb- . I need it to be about 12 '' for my application , which be in-between this mount and most of the other that I find . a friend point out that it be just two aluminum piece that slide and it could easily be cut down with a hack see without any visible change . so I cut about 6 '' off of the end each of the side to get the correct range and drill a new hole for the length set piece -lrb- this be easier than be sound -rrb- . warning : there be a little tab of punch metal who be job be to keep the two arm from completely separate - if you cut these down you 'll lose that piece and risk the possibility that if you loosen the arm length screw the projector will fall . I suggest that if you do this you set the length and then drill a a additional hole to secure it . -lrb- in practice however you would have to really be not pay attention and have a heavy project for this to happen . -rrb- my only other comment on this be really more related to the Optoma hd20 - for some reason optoma choose to place the three mount screw hole off center on the projector bottom ... so when loose the projector want to hang to one side . I can see no logical reason for this ... just dumb . not hard to overcome , but annoy . again , nothing to do with the mount , just the projector .

125	Projector	POS	5	I love this projector . I actually upgrade from the Panasonic pt-ae3000u -lrb- also great -rrb- . I have notice that this projector be brighter , have a clearer picture , better color , and better contrast and black level than the pt-ae3000u . it really shine with blu-ray , but all source look good . not much else to say , but for the money , you can not beat it .
865	Projector	POS	5	I will try to be quick . I be happy with my choice . I will do it again . and do it again I will still be 100 % happy . the only downside I have be that I need to wear sunglass to watch movie ; -rrb- man the brightness be far beyond any imaginable expectation I have . after the first 5 min , when I setup the color adjustment right , the color be very good too . just to let you know , only after 20 min of the first movie I see with it , I simply realize I have the light on in my living room ... . . the Projector be very quiet -lrb- I have ecomode on , lower brightness , etc. ... and now I can see the movie without sunglass ^ _ ^ -rrb- for the price , I must say , I can not imagine anything better , really ... . !! a very very happy customer P.S. 1080p really deserve a 3 meter wide screen to enjoy it ; -rrb-
127	Projector	POS	5	this be a total awesome projector ! I believe it be one of the better one for it be price & the picture be totally awesome for the size it can project . definately get what you pay for , so do not be fool into buy less expensive projector that will disappoint , when this will satisfy you home Theater craving . sure if you can afford higher Lumens , contrast , & \/ or resolution . this be a great starter projector until the more expensive price start drop more & all plazma & other become more affordable .
633	Projector	POS	4	I really enjoy use this projector . it be fairly easy to set up . the include instruction be not great but enough to understand how to connect , project and transfer file easily between my netbook and projector . the include cable be all I need for how I use it . the control be small so I would recommend get the remote control . I buy a optional Targus tripod which work well with it . the software work as advertise to transfer and convert image file and various other from you pc to projector . there be also a micro sd card slot to save you file to . the image quality be fairly good not great but certainly good enough to watch video , slide show and Powerpoint Presentations . use the ac cable , which be generally how I use it , provide 50 lumen of brightness . overall I be satisfied with this product .

788	Projector	NEU	3	this projector mount be a good buy if you install you projector and then never touch it again . I mean , do not put the lens cap on , do not push the power button , do not touch any of the cable , do not wipe dust off it , etc. . if you leave it completely isolate , this mount be a good buy . make small adjustment to the mount in a effort to precisely place the projection on a screen be challenge with this mount . the problem arise with the ball mount . there be no way to make precise , small adjustment with the ball mount because it be simply tighten in a compression ring . it will take you quite a bit of trial and error to get you picture precisely on you screen . once you have the image precisely on the screen , be careful not to touch you projector in any way . the mount be not stiff enough to absorb a touch to the projector , and you will end up skewing you image . now that I have it , I may keep it because it do the job and it be really cheap . but , I think I should have spend another $ 50 and purchase a more precise mount .
708	Projector	POS	4	it be really helpful and very simple to use , although you should use in a not much light room since it be a PICO and not a professional one , but work really well . it get more than warm and try not to use it for long period -lrb- I have never do -rrb- it seem will get melt but nothing have happen so far . useful and inexpensive . buy also the tripod would be really useful too . .

18	Projector	POS	5	for $ 500 , you can get a 7 foot wide high quality image onto a DIY blackout screen . you must darken the room , use the component connection and rout the audio to a separate receiver or stereo . it do take some savvy to get thing right . you should also mount this to the ceiling . that cut down on noticeability of the fan noise and mean you can sit right underneath it , which be the best seat in the house . so , you need a 25 ft cable , and a ceiling mount -lrb- $ 150 ? -rrb- . although you can make that yourself . do I say wow , yet ? the sharpness be very good , although you will see screen door if you sit too close and\/or the image be too big . but I do not see screen door with the image 6 foot wide , with I 10 foot back . and you should not be closer than that anyway . you might be bother by the rainbow effect , with b&w; movie , sometimes . otoh , I notice it as soon as I get it , but it be never bother I . you should not be flicker you eye back and forth fast when watch a movie anyway . the best thing be the color and black . the image have a soft quality that be great for movie , less good for sport . the difference between my home theater and the multiplex be that the Plex have a even bigger screen and the color on it be a bit more saturated . but these front projector offer the same type of experience as the real movie . do not bother connect a ground cable signal to the projector via a VCR , the image be not good enough for the projector quality . component connection be far better than composite . I have have it for a year with no problem so far .
639	Projector	POS	5	well this be my first projector and I get to say that its pretty good , even during the day you can still see the picture if its like a 30 inch size screen . I have not use it unplugged because to I it be like a tv , it need to be plug in , I would not expect the battery life to last long so I do not even bother . I get the control for it which be a must unless you want to keep press button on the projector which end up move the picture . it have its own little built-in speaker which be actually pretty decent sound but its not loud enough for I so I just plug some computer speaker in the audio jack and boom , problem solve . if you have a xbox or ps3 get the hdmus to mini hdmus cable , there like $ 8 and it put the picture to 720p which be not bad for a projector if you ask I . another cool thing be you can flip the image sideways or upside down if for some reason you have to . overall its awesome , especially if you on the go or in the military like I be , you just can not carry around a tv everywhere you go but a projector you can , especially this tiny little thing .
486	Projector	NEG	2	the ad say high quality but I be not impress with what I receive . I do not install the lamp and return it because of two reason . First of all the tape-like seal on the plastic cover to metal casing that say `` no warranty if seal break '' be indeed break . secondly , the unit be not enclose at the front of the lamp which would mean if the lamp go out and explode like they do , the shattered glass would be scatter inside of the tv . this lamp , unlike the picture , have a square glass cover in a round hole . this be not my definition of `` high quality '' so I return the lamp . I do receive a full refund with no problem , however I do have to pay for return shipping .
774	Projector	POS	5	this be the 3rd video projector I have own . the 1st be a Dell VGA . need to upgrade to hd so get a optoma 720p . after 5 year it die so I need another . the natural progression be to go to 1080p , but then I find this gem . it be 720p , but when I compare it side-by-side with a 1080p projector , the difference in image quality be subtle , and the 1080p projector cost twice as much as this -lrb- and that be a bargain for 1080p -rrb- . besides price , here be the other advantage of this projector : 1 . 3d . combine this with a 3d blu-ray player -lrb- my Panasonic be very well price -rrb- , View Sonic 3D HD Video Processor -lrb- vp3d1 -rrb- and some dlp 3d glass , and you have get sweet 3d movie without any special setup . 2 . size\/weight . this be mean to be portable . I do not intend to move mine , but for some people that might come in handy . it probably weigh half as much as my old optoma and the 1080p projector I compare it to , and be probably half the size as well . make it much easier to mount on the ceiling -lrb- easily do with no 2nd person help to steady it -rrb- . 3 . Color . most people mount they projector on a wall or ceiling . most people do not have black wall or ceiling , so black or similarly dark projector be kind of a eyesore . combine with its small size , the white color help conceal it so that it do not dominate a room . some other thing I like : 1 . come with a nice black nylon canvas carry case -lrb- again , very portable -rrb- . 2 . the small remote slide into the projector , make it easy to keep the 2 together if you be carry it somewhere . you do need to make sure you do not lose it , or program a universal remote to control the projector , because there be not any button on the projector -lrb- since the remote become part of the projector when you slide into place -rrb- . 3 . quite bright . I would think that the smaller package would mean less light output , but no. . brighter than my old optoma that be twice the size , and just as bright as the much pricier 1080p projector I compare it to . 4 . Automatic keystoning be impressive . you can set it at just about any angle and it will keep the picture a perfect rectangle . it be throw distance be a bit longer than the optoma I have , but not bad at all . check this website to find out precisely how big the image be for a give distance : -lrb- ... -rrb- I be a loyal Amazon Prime member , but since this be not eligible for Amazon Prime , you can get this from Walmart.com for the same low price , ship cost be very low -lrb- free to you local store -rrb- , and you have 3 month to return it if you do not like it . awesome projector .
366	Projector	POS	4	projector be awesome !!! picture appear great but it need to be in a dark area to work well . overall it be great .
648	Projector	NEU	3	this projector be great for portability . it be small -- surprisingly small ! if you need something small , portable , and with a decent resolution picture , this be a projector to get . however , you need to know the pro and con with this one if you be look for the all purpose projector . pro : - decent resolution , even with the odd 858x600 . - small . I mean this thing be tiny ! - handle video well . - great menu option . Acer do a great job with they uus . - bulb will hypothetically last for 30,000 hour . now that be awesome . con : - it be not very bright , even only 9-feet from my wall . do not let the 200 lumen fool you . even in a dark room it be not sufficiently bright . for I this be a deal breaker . - fan can be a bit noisy , but not nosier than a laptop fan on high . this do not bother we in the least . but if you be sensitive to fan noise , then you may not like this projector . - resolution be not my favorite . even though I know this go in , after see the actual picture I be not impressed . overall : although this projector be not a bad buy , especially for its great portability , if you be look for a bright picture that do not need to be project in a very dark room and can even be enjoy in dim light or with ambient sunlight , I would look elsewhere . this projector need a very dark room to be remotely enjoyable . and any light will begin to wash out the picture , and I mean any ! after purchase this projector , and after try the Optomo pt105 -lrb- which I very much do not recommend -rrb- , I purchase the Acer x1261p . so far this projector meet all my need : sharp picture -lrb- 1024x768 resolution -rrb- , bright image -lrb- 2700 lumen -rrb- , portability -lrb- even come with a carry case -rrb- , can project a image at 120hz , and be only $ 50 more than this projector . the two caveat to the x1261p be that the bulb will only last around 6,000 hour on eco mode -lrb- which be good overall for a standard bulb projector but not compare to the k11 's 30,000 hour -rrb- and it do not have a hdmus input -lrb- although I buy a inexpensive hdmus to VGA converter here on Amazon to address this issue -rrb- . so for I , this be a better alternative to the k11 . nevertheless , if my con be not a issue , then you maybe happy with the k11 .
883	Projector	NEG	1	I have do the research about the projector and come up with conclusion to purchase the Viewsonic pjd5122 . the power do not work properly . the light of power button be turn on but the fan do not work and there be no light out of the lense . the speaker also do not work also . the projector keep search for the signal `` signal loss '' all the time . I be so frustrated and call the technical support I be lucky to talk to a tech guy who be physically in India . I still have the problem to communicate with the guy . anyway , I be lucky to return this item back to Circuit city .
345	Projector	NEU	3	assembly instruction be not quite clear , and some piece be very difficult to put together , especially after thread the cable through the shaft high up by the ceiling . also , my hdmus cable be heavily shield , and do not thread easily through the shaft . get my rg6 and power cord through be also tough . I be happy with it now that it be up , but it would be better if the finish product be more rigid . another complaint be that they provide 4 and 5mm bolt to attach the mount , but mine need 6mm , so off to Home Depot . off again to Home Depot for a second trip , as the lag screw they provide to thread into the ceiling joist be make of metal so soft a phillip head screwdriver will strip they . I get they most of the way in before they strip , then have to use a pair of vice-grip to take they out . I get some stainless steel one and install they with a socket wrench . overall a decent product for the price , but they should not provide screw as soft as ju-ju-bee .
439	Projector	POS	5	I have be very pleased with the performance of this projector . it be very easy to set up and have a variety connection that you can use . I have use it both with my computer and my television to watch movie on the wall . the whole family love this thing !
16	Projector	POS	4	this be a small but powerful hand-size projector . I use it for my english class in the ecuadorian campo . the focus be very precise but easily disturbed . I would like to have it set up so that the image can be either vertical or horizontal . the power cord be the same as on my HP laptop -lrb- except the device end -rrb- and be heavy enough to drag the projector off the table and on to the floor . lead bulb replacement ? UNKNOWN . despite my apparent negative comment , I really like this little gem and would recommend it to anyone who can accept its limitation . oh , and the price-is-right .
917	Projector	NEG	1	the project image be very bad . it be blurry even after focus & the color be fade . it would not pick up a signal with the hdmus connection . I be hope to return but the seller have a long list of non returnable item , include tv . it be bright enough but what a awful image . the only way to adjust the projection size be to move the projector . for the price I know it would not be perfect but it would not be worth watch if it be free .
408	Projector	POS	5	this product be great , extremely well make , durable , rugged , attractive . full movement and rotation in every direction , with a removable extension arm so you can keep it closer to the ceiling or take it out in any angle and direction need . the product fit any 3 hold projector easily with every type of screw available , and adjustable once secure to fine tune the picture placement . the only thing to know be that this be very heavy metal , so be prepare to anchor it well to the ceiling\/wall . you can not go wrong with this product , I be very happy .
75	Projector	POS	5	after purchase the nVidia 3d vision with the Acer 24 '' gd235hz monitor , I be ready for even bigger wall-to-wall gaming + movie watching . in short , really look for the entire movie theater experience at home . at around $ 16 for 3d ticket -lrb- $ 12 for regular -rrb- x 4 people + soda\/popcorn = ~ $ 85\/movie , I want something `` local '' . at $ 500 -lrb- i.e. cost of about 6 movie theater sitting -rrb- , this fit the bill nicely and be great bang for the buck . my wife be yell that I be waste money on this . so , I set this up and call she to check it out . it fit the wall nicely and projection size be approx . 110 '' . the wall be light yellow but this projector have a set to color correct it . the first word out of she mouth be `` wow ! that look awesome ! I be gonna watch movie and enjoy with the winter now watch movie with kid '' . so it be a great purchase after all . highlight of the product - + excellent value for the money + eco mode to add more life to the bulb + image quality be very good at 720p + it can do 1080 -lrb- 1920x1080 -rrb- though I be not sure if it be interlaced or progressive but this do not look as sharp or nice as the 720p for movie . + Netflix HD look incredible . + regular movie look spectacular . I watch Captain America and it be awesome . I be pick up little detail which I be not before + 3d gaming be phenomenal . there be some few game that have good depth projection so the char appear to hover in you room . but most game give this immense depth perception so you wall look like a huge opening with char position correctly wrt to depth . 3d gaming with nvidium 3d vision make this spectacular . + come with a carry bag and VGA cable + great price point for someone want to enter this market but not want to spend much . + have a remote that can glove into the unit - miss a VGA - -rrb- DVI adapter . thankfully I have one from my video card purchase - dlp technology with 3x spin wheel so you can see rainbow effect every now and then . year ago I have return my Samsung DLP set because it be too bothersome . thankfully , this be not that bothersome . you see it more during brighter\/white scene and that too if you dart you eye side to side . its almost unnoticeable in 3d and while gaming . more noticeable during 2d movie . - do not have even a single 3d glass . - do not work with passive 3d glass . only active nvidium 3d glass . - all control seem to be only on the remote , so do not lose it .
25	Projector	POS	5	I originally consider the InFocus x1 , since it be highly rate and probably ` the ' most recommend projector in this price range . however , I be sensitive to the ` rainbow ' effect ' that DLP projector be prone to , so I have to turn to lcd . the NEC vt46 have some favorable review out there , and it have a shorter throw than the x1 , so I decide to pick one up . wow ! the picture be much better than I expect ! despite be a 4:3 projector , it produce a amazing picture with widescreen dvd . the color look very natural and the contrast be excellent . the short throw lens and manual zoom allow I to create a huge image from the coffee table , and it be also very quiet so it do not intrude on quiet scene . I do not hesitate to recommend this projector ; it have exceed my expectation .
192	Projector	POS	4	very good Projector . have it for a month now and very happy with it . have a little problem in the begin to set it up with nvida 3d vision on my pc -lrb- mostly because of my lack of experience in the area -rrb- but manage to do it after 4 day . only down side be the beep noise when turn on and of and the fact that the on screen menu have no option to be more transparent . January 02 2012 : have it for almost a year now and still work fine
725	Projector	POS	5	this be a great little projector . I use it at home and at my office . the trade-off be size and pixel vs brightness and noise . it be very small and have a descent resolution . to pay for this , you have to sacrifice a bit of brightness and a little fan noise . there be no battery so it always need to be plug in . if you need fall within that realm -- go for it . I really like that I can just leave it on much like I leave on my monitor to display image because of the 30000 hour bulb . one glitch be that the focus change after warm up but then it be good .
969	Projector	POS	5	I be go to rent a projector for 4 or 5 day at Christmas , then I come across this projector which cost almost exactly the same amount as the rental . this thing be great . its small . it have all kind of connectivity choice . it be bright -lrb- which be important for I because the room I use it in be large and have a lot of window -rrb- . it even have build in speaker -lrb- I do not actually use they -rrb- . the replacement bulb be reasonably price . it be extremely easy to use . do not bother with the manual - just hook it up . I have both a s-video and hdmus connection at the same time , although I would only power up 1 device at a time : this thing detect that and automatically switch to the live connection . I be now project it on a 110 '' screen and it look excellent with 720p content or higher , which it will down-convert to 720p which be its native resolution . the only negative be that the remote have a narrow line-of-sight , the zoom range be very small and there be no lens-shift : none of these be problem for I and I would not expect the last two in a projector that be so inexpensive . if you want a nice projector for a unbelievably low price , this be it .
293	Projector	NEU	3	I have only fire this up once and we be still put it through it be pace . I will update . Notes so far : \* nice and bright \* Easy to set up with a laptop \* show photo off a usb stick with ease one gripe so far : the description clearly state it come with a `` computer adapter '' and `` Component adapter '' but the only cable it arrive with be a 3 '' -lrb- male -rrb- VGA to -lrb- female -rrb- 3-rca connector . the back of the projector require 3 male rca connector . thus the cable they send you , while technically a `` component adapter '' CAN NOT be use to hook a computer up to the projector without buy a male-to-male rca cable connector . there be no other adapter so the `` computer adapter '' advertise at the time of this order and writeup do not exist . in short : out of the box you can not connect it to anything without more cable , the computer adapter list in the description be just plain false . now , I have a house full of cable so this be just annoy on principle , but it be worth other know .
222	Projector	POS	4	this projector be great ! it be a amzing value for the price that I pay for it . the only setback be that the volume be not incredibly high and sometimes you miss a word or two . otherwise , I be extremely happy to have buy this projector and it be a amazing value for the price ! very happy !
407	Projector	POS	4	pro : for a projector in this price range , picture be extremely bright and very sharp . Color fidelity be good -lrb- with adjustment ; out of the box , hue and saturation be odd -rrb- . noise level be excellent ; fan be very quiet . Menus and control be very good . customization option be thorough and easy to navigate . user manual be somewhat better than average . Meh : Audio throughput via HDMI be middling at best . startup time and source seeking be slightly below average . con : remote control be horrible . layout be non-intuitive and label be barely legible , especially in a low-light situation where this projector be likely to be use . Summary : at this price point , I be happy , and I feel I get my money 's worth . if I ever win the lottery , I will not be keep this machine , but for now , it get a solid b grade .

I instantly think `` I need a bigger display '' so I go to nVidia 's page to view compatible display . the Optoma hd66 be and still be list as be compatible an support . so I buy one ... well guess what ? it be neither compatible or currently support . if you search the nvidium page you will find that if you hd66 be build before August of 2010 -lrb- that be right , August of 2010 ! -rrb- it will not work . I then call Optoma tech support and be tell by the phone tech that in order for it to work , it have to be send back to the factory for modification and that I would be responsible for the shipping ... I tell the guy that that be outrageous and I would simply return it and get something that actually do work as advertise . in case you wonder , I purchase the Acer h5360 . . I should have purchase it the first time around , not only do the 3d work flawlessly , it have way more feature than the hd66 like `` auto keystone , auto orientation , color wall compensation '' to name a few . if you look for a 3d projector that really deliver , you can wait two month -lrb- the tech support guy tell I it would take that long to get the new one on the shelf -rrb- till the compatible hd66 's hit the street -lrb- and hope they work -rrb- or you can get the Acer h5360 . of course deal with Amazon be the only way to go , the return of the hd66 be simple and I be enjoy real 3d in my living room on the Acer .
521	Projector	POS	5	for the money , you will not find a better mount for you projector . you will need to have some common sense when assemble you mount and attach it to you ceiling . there be no instruction . there be only a explosion view of the product and one bag full of washer , bolt , and the such . sequence be key to a safe installation . once you get it dial in , it be solid . very happy with this purchase . do not let negative review keep you away . if you like a little challenge in you assembly and have a brain in you head , you will have no problem .
686	Projector	NEG	1	ever since we get this projector out of the box we have have nothing but trouble . just get it to power on take about 10 minute of button push and connect and reconnect before we can coax it to power up . and sometimes it receive the hdmus signal and sometimes it do not . Technical support from Optoma be just about be poor as tech support can be , with nothing better than a web form to fill out , and a promise they will get back to I in 24-48 hour , by e-mail ! then once they get back to you , you be catch in a very slow e-mail correspondence , and then you give up .
233	Projector	NEG	1	I receive a lightbulb that last about 2 week . I pay to send the light bulb back . the second light bulb I have receive in the mail be break . I have to pay to send this 1 back as well . the third bulb that they send I work for a bout 20 seconds before it melt my projector . I have lose the cost of shipping and the cost of my projector which have to be replace . three bulb b , a ruin projector and shipping cost . this company be expensive to do . business with . and of course they be not responsiblefor the damage thier product cause .
394	Projector	POS	5	I defy anyone to find a projector with resolution this good for the price . the spec on this rival many 2000-3000 dollar projector . the better model may have brighter bulb and better black -- but the difference in performance be negligible -- the difference in prince be not . I already own one and I be buy a second one for my sister . happy holiday si !
638	Projector	NEG	1	this have be go around since this projector first come out . the dt-510 require the an-xr10l2 lamp . seller lamp be rate 275 watt where the dt-510 's lamp be 220 watt . half the dealer on the net have this screw up . Dont believe I , just check the manual
11	Projector	POS	4	everyone review this product and rate it as if it be a $ 900.00 dlp hd projector . well quite simply it be not . this be a low price budget projector perfect for outdoor movie viewing and with a simple $ 20.00 converter box its good for presentation too . I have use it numerous time in my backyard to watch tv show and movie and everyone be pleased . no its not crystal clear but with some adjustment it be enjoyable and easy to view . the setup be quick and easy and with the use of a old projector screen brightness and color be not too bad . I be enjoy this product greatly consider I only pain $ 85.00 for the converter , projector and screen . I would recommend this to anyone look for a cheap projector for light use keep in mind it be cheap and the quality be not perfect .
296	Projector	POS	5	maybe its a newer version , but my mount include clear instruction on how to use . it work perfectly for my optoma hd66 which have the same size hookup as the hd20\/65\/180 . I would definitely recommend .
544	Projector	NEG	1	this `` universal '' mount come with 4 different size screw for different model of projector ... but none of they fit mine . after 3 trip to home depot to find a long enough screw that would fit -lrb- do not happen -rrb- i have to scrap this thing and discontinue my projector project until i could get a different -lrb- properly `` universal '' -rrb- mount - which i do . i be so ridiculously frustrate with this thing and so save yourself the frustration and buy something else .
249	Projector	NEU	3	the first time I purchase this projector the sound do not work . -lrb- volume would not go up or down , just stay at a low level -rrb- . the company resent I a new projector -lrb- take about a month , not the best or easiest customer service -rrb- and the new one work great , at least so I think . a few month later I realize the hdmus input do not work at all . this do not really bother I because I be only hook it up to a dvd player . the next issue be the dc power input start get shaky . I continuously have to `` rig '' or tape the cord into place for it to stay on every time I use it . the picture quality and projection size be good . if you manage to get one deliver to you that work , it be a great deal and great projector . the low price off brand will give you the possibility of headache and trouble but as consumer , that should be expect . just recently my projector be steal at a party . and I be actually consider buy this one again - hope for a good one to be send to I . I guess I have mix feeling about it .
485	Projector	POS	5	I use the Atdec Telehook Universal Projector flush Mount to mount my Optoma hd70 . I do have to buy toggle tolt to secure the mount where it need to be , but I know that before I buy it . the whole mount take I a couple of hour to mount . most of that time be due to have to find the exact location it need to be mount for my projector to work in the view room .
746	Projector	POS	5	the new pp03 portable pocket projector be awesome ! who would have think look at the picture and the price that it would be of great quality from the material make from as well as the projection quality - take it every where I go !
581	Projector	POS	4	I buy this Pyle Home PRJLE33 Portable LED Projector for sport season mostly . it work best at night and with enough room to make it at least 60 inch wide . but still show good picture during daylight hour . it have all the right stuff to hook it up to nearly anything you would want to project . bright color and great contrast with these build in speaker that sound excellent and make it the perfect game day everyday . I recommend this unit to anyone who think it be important to see the expression on they favorite player face . the lens be super easy to adjust to any flat situation and have a remote control to do the job from anywhere in the room . best buy of the year by far for I .
823	Projector	POS	5	I do a lot of research and it boil down to the pb6100\/6110 or the InFocus x1\/x1a . I purchase the pb6100 and have be plesantly surprise after a month of use . in presentation mode , the picture at 7 foot wide be sharp and impressive -lrb- make sure you select the correct user mode -rrb- . for movie , the picture quality be truly stunning -lrb- must choose cinema mode -rrb- at 7 foot wide !! it appear that the quality of dvd player be rather important as a budget dvd player produce a wash out screen while a good progressive scan player produce rich and vibrant color with no distortion . shockingly good , even with some ambient light . it be a huge payoff for a very modest investment . very enthusiastically recommend .
910	Projector	NEG	1	I have have about 10 different projector in my home so in many way I know what to look for and how they compare against each other . this model have very poor OTB color calibration and even once calibrate with some basic tool it still do not look as good as my hc4000 with the factory setting . the smell of burn plastic all the time for the first 100 hour be finally too much and I finally send it back for a full refund . be it bright ? yes . be the contrast good ? yes . do it blow off heat big time and make noise ? yes . be it a pain to calibrate ? yes . in the end be it all worth it ? nope . the picture on my w1200 be far superior to the w6000 and it can be have for $ 899 these day online . maybe this pj be great in 2009 but there be several better choice out today . Thought I would love this thing but I be sorely disappoint .
773	Projector	POS	5	i have always want a electric screen but cost have always be a factor . when i see the price of the favus hd 120 and comment from other buyer , i deceided to give it a try . the package arrive when it be suppose to and no damage to the box . the packaging be very good , to make sure contents arrive in good condition . the screen be up and run and the picture quality be excellent and operation be smooth and quiet . you do need two people to mount this screen . i didnt receive any actual mount instruction but be easy to figure out . i be able to find two stud to mount the screen to which give I a great deal of peace of mind . the hardware incl . doesnt seem in my opinion strong enough to hold the screen up . if you dont have stud to mount to larger wall anchor would be recommend . good buy , good price , excellent quality i highly recommend this product .
594	Projector	POS	5	I do my homework for month , look for a projector that I could use for my power point presentation at work so I would not have to keep borrowing from we it department . I do not want to have to spend $ $ 1,000 s on one either . some of the really good one can be quite costly . at the same time , I do not want one that could not provide a adequate , sharp picture . I also want it for home use to show movie at home or do movie-maker picture presentation for family gathering . not only be this projector price reasonably -lrb- I buy mine refurbish for under $ 300 ! -rrb- but it be so simple to operate and the picture be just great !!! I set it up on a table 6ft away from the wall and get sharp , clear resolution with a screen size of about 5x3 ft. . it be light and compact and I carry it around with ease compare with the cumbersome unit I use to have to check out . I only hope that I get lot of use from it before the lamp wear out . only time will tell . I hear that a lamp be costly to replace and that they only have a certain number of life hour before they burn out . so far , I be very happy with my projector . it have exceed my expectation and I highly recommend it .
431	Projector	POS	5	I research many Projector screen and at the end I make a decision to buy this one and I think i make the right decision , the screen have 1:3 gain and very easy to install . have 2 remote and wall hanging unit to control the rotation . noise level be low . little slow in move the screen but i like that . very good choice for the price we be buy and better result then elite or da-lite screen .
108	Projector	NEG	2	low-budget home theater owner here . be happy with my unit . Pretty nice picture on a blank white wall . I have a dedicated cinema room that be pitch black so be very happy ... until one hour ago . after 300 hour of use my bulb blow . and I never watch more than 2-3 hour at a time , so definitely not a high traffic user . I be all the way in Hungary and that bulb be about a month 's wages for this school teacher . this be a shoddy product , built-in obsolesence to the extreme . now I have a useless room with a BenQ wart on the ceiling !
239	Projector	NEU	3	this be a great little projector and provide a nice picture however I do not think it be worth $ 500 , in my personal experience ive have trouble with the mini hdmus socket and the chord be way too short , I have also have trouble find a female rca composite cable for the projector , it be just too much to ask for . but overall if you be someone who be on the go , and give presentation daily , this would be the projector for you .
120	Projector	POS	4	I be look to assemble a hdtv , Blu-Ray player and speaker set that will last I for the next 3 - 5 year . I be initially draw to this speaker base on review , but have one question . it be my impression that the speaker itself be awesome , but that the lack of a hdmus in\/out compromise the potential of the speaker to deliver the best sound from a hd source . in other word , sound come from a Blu-Ray or cable box lose some signal through the digital optical cable , which would otherwise not happen with a hdmus cable . could people please comment\/educate ? be the lack of hdmus input the reason for the drastic price reduction ? I have not have a chance to compare audio come out of optical audio vs hdmus , and so do not have a basis to establish if hold out for HDMI be worth the extra money that that might entail . thank you .
628	Projector	POS	5	I recently buy this back-up projector -- be not quite ready to go `` all digital '' but want to be certain I could still use this fantastic tool . have be use this model for many many year and it simply do not disappoint .
95	Projector	POS	4	the only thing that I would change about this projector would be : I wish I could make the image smaller . I be project onto the wall above my fireplace , and with the projector situate on a shelf in my den so that people be not trip on it when they sit in the living room , I be afraid the image be just a bit too large , even with the size scale all the way down . fortunately , when I switch the projector to a 16:9 widescreen format , the image cut down just enough to fit on my stretch of wall . even on a simple white-painted wall , the resolution be good enough to watch movie with subtitle easily , and even see normal-sized text if you squint . the only thing the include remote can not do be adjust the size and focus of the projection , and open and shut the slide on the front . otherwise , you never have to touch the projector itself . once I figure out how to make this projector work with the space I have , everything be perfect ! I be loving my new setup .
656	Projector	POS	5	I recently buy the hd66 projector and it be very easy to install , if you look for a good hd Projector that do not put a hole in you pocket this be the one to buy . when i receive it in the mail i take it out of the box and hook it up to my PS3 just by the HDMI cable and it work great the Picture Quality be great i be a little scared when i buy it at first cause i think maybe the review be B.S. but im tell you i think it be a great quality for a projector under 700 dollar . my video game and the Blu ray movie look great . the projector be about maybe 12ft away from the wall and without a screen or anything it look great on the wall itself . I also connect it to my direct tv hddvr and it work great the channel come out in hd and everything . I be look foward in buy the extra 3d accessory to see what it look like in 3d but over all this projector be great we watch 2 Blu-Ray movie on my PS3 and we use the wall as a screen and it look great the screen be really big i say about 95 to 100 '' . oh yeah and adjust the screen be very easy for I it take I like 2 minute maybe i just get lucky , dont know . overall if you be read this review trust I it be a great buy for movie and game like i say i have not test the 3d but im hopeing it look as good as everything else ...
612	Projector	POS	5	I set this up last night . I make no change to the color . my wife , son and he friend each be blow away by the better picture than we have with we Sony . brightness be a key issue for we as we screen be 215 inch diagonal .
658	Projector	POS	5	I get this projector from avsolution . avsolution be quick to ship . when I get the box , I think there might be a pair of 3d glass miss . I request that it be send to I . avsolution respond right away . offer to deal with Sony and to get I a new pair . they also ask I to look one more time in the box , and I actually do find they . but quick response , great service . I have not try the 3d yet , but the 2d projection be awesome . I do not get the screen right away , so I just project a movie right on a green wall at 130inch size , and the picture look ok . yesterday i get the screen up . 133 inch projection -lrb- da-lite Cinema Vision 1.3 gain -rrb- , at about 15 foot distance . what a great picture ! this be in a totally dark room .
834	Projector	POS	5	I be very pleased with the performance and quality of this projector so far , and for the price I pay -lrb- $ 799 -rrb- , this be the best projector for the money . pro : very good price , good quality -lrb- up to 1080p -rrb- , 2 hdmi con : none so far .
647	Projector	POS	4	Compre uno de estos proyectore , anteriormente tenia otro de tecnoligia lead , pero este era muy pobre en imagen , sin embarco el Rio Led , resulto un proyector muy bueno , de hecho lo he utilizado para karaoke en un bar , con grande resultado , si bien es cierto le falta un poco mas de brillo a la lampara , su imagen es muy buena , incluso en ambiente con algo de luz , definitivamente lo recomiendo .
176	Projector	NEG	2	I buy this as a much need tool in my classroom . we raise we own money since we be not give anything -lrb- thanks to the economy -rrb- . anyway , I be a bit disappointed because you have to turn off all the light and close the blind -lrb- which make it impossible for my student to see they papers to follow along . I guess I learn my lesson not to go for the least expensive item as you get what you pay for .
37	Projector	POS	5	I purchase the ex7200 for use in child 's church in a fairly small , fluorescent-well-lit classroom . have a high quality lcd projector open up world of possibility for education , and I could not be happier with this projector . it be also night and day go from the small 15 '' wide-screen lcd tv I have at my disposal -lrb- from the church -rrb- to a 86 '' projection screen -lrb- of course , you could go much bigger if you have the room ! -rrb- . there be a multitude of option , include 5 or so `` color mode '' for different viewing situation , include project onto a whiteboard or blackboard ! Controls be fairly intuitive . projector can be shut down and unplug without have to let the fan run to cool down -lrb- though I would recommend let the projector cool in the open for a couple minute at least instead of immediately stuff it in the case -rrb- . the usb plug and play be nice , but be warn . the usb connection be a fail for powerpoint with animation . slide transition and even simple roll text be choppy and jumpy with the usb connection . the VGA cable -lrb- supply -rrb- work perfectly , however , and the projection be just as smooth as it be on you computer screen . this projector also allow you to connect multiple video source simultaneously and switch between they easily . there be also a tiny blue dot visible on dark background -lrb- esp . black -rrb- in the bottom left area of the frame . I be assume this be a minor defect with the imaging system in my particular projector . it be just one dot -lrb- maybe a single pixel -rrb- and not very noticeable . Worth mention , but probably not worth the hassle of return or exchange . do not make the mistake I do and purchase a screen with the wrong aspect ratio . this projector have a native resolution of 1280x800 which be a 16:10 ratio , not 16:9 . not sure how I miscalculate that , especially when it even say 16:10 in the description ! if you use this with a 16:9 screen , you will not be able to make the projector image fill the screen -- it will be `` letterbox '' by white screen material on the left and right . image adjustment with this projector be fully optical -lrb- focus and zoom ring build into the lens -rrb- . use the optical zoom allow you to enlarge or reduce the entire frame to fined-adjust screen fit without have to move the projector itself and without loss of resolution . last , do not think this projector be go to look just fantastic in a well-lit room . do not get I wrong , it be very usable with all the light on , but darker color especially will be wash out and obviously you contrast will not be the best . unfortunately , the room I be in have all the fluorescent light on one switch , so it be either all or nothing in term of room lighting . so I simply make a makeshift cover out of some thick cardboard to partially block the light closest to the projection screen . this make a huge difference . I be just say be prepare to experiment with you setup to get the best balance .
796	Projector	POS	5	if you want to mount you new Optoma hd20 , this be a perfect ceiling mount . it be very simple . attach mount plate and adjustable clamp to bottom of projector - Mount the ceiling bracket with 2 include screw -lrb- wood screw and drywall screw include -rrb- , then connect the two and tighten to proper position . I can not believe I consider buy a mount in the store for $ 70 - $ 150 . this mount for $ 19 be perfect . I could not be happier .
478	Projector	POS	5	buy this projector a couple of week ago , shipping be prompt . just for reference sake , I use this projector for design on item for airbrushing -lrb- I run a airbrushing studio out of my home -rrb- . the VGA cable connection work extremely well for a computer monitor , but I wind up swap out the VGA for a hdmus as the resolution translation do better on the HDMI for my setup . the projection lighting be bright and be viewable in a partially light room on a smaller screen -lrb- 4:3 -rrb- . the color saturation be excellent , and the picture be decent sharp . if you buy this projector expect hd picture quality you will be sorely dissappointed however . the maximum resolution be 800x600 and it display hd by degrade the picture signal to a format that it can use . however , for the extremely reasonable price , you be not go to find much better . the fan be rather loud , but keep the projector nicely cool -lrb- great for bulb and component duration -rrb- . I have not have need of the audio so I can not vouch for the quality , but I have read review say that it be exceptional in comparison to other projector . Hope this review help . overall this reasonably price projector be a extremely good value .
414	Projector	POS	5	we make a outdoor entertainment area at the back end of we property where two very large tree fall and form a natural amphitheater . on a Tori gate between the two tree , I mount a seven foot screen so we could watch movie use a projection system I buy from Amazon and a extra stereo receiver and surround sound system . it be great but the screen be just not big enough for the area so I purchase this ten foot one . WOW , what a difference . we have have four movie night so far and everybody want to come . I want a manual , pull down , screen because I have to take it down and store it after every movie . this one seem to be well make . it pull down and raise very easily . I use a blu-ray player to show the movie and the picture be as least as good as the big screen tv in the house . -lrb- it be about four year old -rrb- Phoenix be warm enough to have movie night all winter long , with a fire pit anyway . spring and fall be absolutely perfect ... during July through September , I be go to have to figure a way to mount it so we can watch movie from the pool .
671	Projector	POS	5	this be a excellent clock radio , with many outstanding feature at a very affordable cost . all clock radio do pretty much the same thing , so I 'll focus on the feature that differentiate this unit from other I have own over the year . the `` rediset '' feature automatically set the unit up . when you plug the unit in for the first time , after a few seconds , it set itself to the correct date , day , and time -lrb- though you may have to make a very simple time zone adjustment -rrb- . and that be it ; you never have to reset it , even after a power failure or after you unplug it . the backup battery be a non-replaceable lithium battery that be suppose to last for at least 5 year . all of the alarm setting and adjustment be input by means of a small keypad on top of the unit . everything be easy to see , clearly lable , and intuitive to operate . the dual alarm can be set to play the radio , buzz , or start several `` soothing sound , '' such as ocean wave , wind chime , etc. . it sound trivial , but those sound be much more pleasant than a 6 AM buzzer . the snooze button be very easy to find , even in the dark . it be large , textured , and raise a little above the body of the unit . finally , the instruction booklet be very clearly write ; you do not get the feeling that it be imperfectly translate from the chinese original . the one feature I do not care for be the time projector . this may be useful and even important to some people , but I find open my eye in the middle of the night and see the time in foot-tall number on the ceiling to be somewhat unsettling . however , it be easy to turn the projector off . my bottom line : this be a full-featured clock radio in a attractive , fairly small case at a very good price . I recommend it most highly .
766	Projector	POS	5	I be worry about how the picture would look when you blow it up to 110 '' as I do since it be only 720p . but I be pleasantly surprise at how sharp the picture be . it may not look as good as it do on a 22 '' monitor or something but it be more than good enough for I . the picture be plenty bright even with the light on but of course look better with the light off . we generally leave the light on when watch tv but turn they off for movie . we be use a real projector screen and not the wall or a sheet like some . I recommend get a wall mountable one from here . we order a `` Elite Screens '' brand and be really happy with it . with the free shipping it get to we house in under a week and sooner than we expect . no complaint yet . just make sure you understand there be no horizontal keystone . mean you have to mount it with the lens directly in the center of the screen horizontally . the vertical keystone work great . also it sound like a lot of people use the projector speaker as they main source of sound for some reason . this may be ok for school or basic presentation but you go to want to have a stereo to watch tv\/movies or play game . the speaker on the projector be not really mean to be use for entertainment purpose , nor should it be expect to .
990	Projector	POS	5	this produce really come in right on time for the church . Easy installation for a first timer . able to swivle and adjus with no problem . the only issue I have be that we have a arched roof , and it be very high .
609	Projector	POS	5	a lot of people give this projector horrible review , but you have to keep in mind it do cost less than $ 100 . yes the brightness be lack , but consider I get mine for $ 40 at target I can not compain . it be all about how you use and set it up . we use ours to turn we garage into a kind of a drive-in theater . we `` screen '' be a thick white shower curtain from a dollar store which be tape to the wall with white duct tape . a table be set up 10 ft away with the projector , the Xbox we run through it , and the sound system . the sound the projector produce itself be pretty decent and be still audible over the fairly loud fan . we want more out of it though so I take a $ 60 radio with movable speaker I have lay around , fit it with indoor\/outdoor speaker , and run that through the projector . one of the first major problem we run into with the whole set up be the fact that you need it to be pitch black for a good picture , but it be in the garage and unfortunately people need light to see where they be go . so a lot of time be spend pause , slowly walk over to the light , turn it on and temporarily blind everyone , do what you need to do , shut off the light and slowly walk back to the couch because you be slightly more blind from turn the light on in the first place , sit and unpause . I remedy this by purchase two strand of red xmas light , and run one strand on each side of the screen , go along the wall away from the screen . this work amazingly well . it provide enough light to walk around and whatnot , but more importantly it do not effect the project picture at all . we find that orange work well too , but not as good as red .
635	Projector	POS	5	please make sure to wait until this go on sale ... save yourself a lot of money . okay , I buy this awhile ago , but in that time I have have a chance to do some research , so I think I would share with you just in case you want to get one of these for you home . I will compare the moviemate 60 with the 72 . the Moviemate 60 be a newer version of they popular moviemate unit , but it be not hd like the 72 be . here be the catch though , the picture on the 60 actually work BETTER in a bright room because the lumen -lrb- the measure stick for how bright the image be -rrb- be at about 2000 , and the 72 -lrb- which be older -rrb- be at 1200 . here 's how this affect you when you watch a movie : I play the same scene from Toy Story 2 ... it be a scene that take place in a dark room , with Woody walk around and stuff all over the place . I set up both the 72 and the 60 in my daughter 's room , with sunlight flood the wall I project the image on . the difference be remarkable . the 72 's image be almost completely wash out , but the 60 's image be very visible . also , the 60 be more compact , have a handle and a carry case . the 72 be huge -lrb- by comparison -rrb- , have no case -lrb- well , Amazon sell one , but it be about -lrb- ... -rrb- ! -rrb- , and have no handle . use-wise , both unit be remarkable in they ease of set up and operation . and the sound from both will not give you surround sound , but they work very well . so , if you plan to have the unit set up in pretty much one place , in a dark room , and you want hd , the 72 may be for you . however , if you need portablility and want something you can show in even well light room , the 60 be hand down the winner . p.s. i buy the 72 after I have the 60 for awhile , and this be the result of much hand-wringing and work to try and justify keep both unit ... hehe ! but I do end up return the 72 .
78	Projector	NEG	1	this be very much a case of `` you get what you pay for '' . I be swap out the projector , screen , and projector mount for my church and grab this little guy because it be 1 -rrb- white and would blend in well and 2 -rrb- cheap . I figure anything that would keep the projector up in the air would be more than adequate . what I do not count on be the metal be so flimsy that it would start to bend and go crooked after a month , thanks to nothing but the 5lb of the projector and gravity . now we have a perpetually wonky display , a counterclockwise rotation that be just about 2 degree ... but be enough to drive most of we crazy . do yourself a favor , spend a extra fifty buck and get a mount that be sturdier and will last .

42	Projector	POS	5	this machine be so easy to set up and operate and the picture quality be excellent . the ability to connect you presentation with a flash drive to the usb plug n play save I from drag a laptop with I to do a presentation . when I do need the laptop the connectivity its such a breeze and I have no difficulty connect or set up . it display video very well and even in room with a lot of light . I use the Epson at a conference with about 350 people and with the 2600 lumen it be easy to see anywhere in the room , excellent color and easy set up . very satisfy with my purchase .
953	Projector	POS	5	I be hesitant in buy a non familiar name FAVI , but by read the other review and what i be look for , this be the best bet . I be first impress by the packaging it come in . I read a few reviw where customer box be beat up and not work properly when the item first arrive . but with -lrb- retail ace -rrb- i be very happy with the packaging . second , i be impress by the quality of the product . the motor of the screen be very quiet . other customer have problem with the motor be too loud , but not with favus . after install the screen -lrb- which be very simple -rrb- i hook up my ps3 to it and see a dramatic difference in the quality . honestly im very happy with the screen and by purchase this great screen with such a great price you cant go wrong . Dont get confuse by purcash the $ 500 + screen when you can get a great product at a great price !!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS !
673	Projector	POS	5	we purchase the shift3 light blast entertainment projector and it be well worth it ! so far we have have three family and friend movie night that be successful . we set this up on we carport and we hang a bath board for the screen that we have purchase at Lowe 's . the projector work perfect for we use .
976	Projector	POS	5	I have pre-order this projector for almost a month before it be ship , which give I time to contemplate my purchase decision . I go around to the shop and check the pk 201 , 102 model and other brand like the 3M pico projector and the Samsung palm size lead projector . especially that I have a full size dlp hd projector that i bough last year . the inconvenience of have to setup the screen and the speaker in the garden to watch a nice cinematic experience on giant screen reduce these occasion to just a handful through a year . I have high hope for the portable battery operate projector but I be aware of the fact that its power be low and can only be use in dim room . it finally arrive , and much to my surprise it beat my expectation just out of the box . it look and feel better than any of the other one i have examine first hand . the casing be sturdy and compact although the zoom swivel look fragile . the picture quality be very good and can certainly beat the quality of a regular tv . i use it with a nokium micro sd card from my old mobile and i run a slide show on the ceiling with short video it take my breath away . i hook it up to my iphone and watch a full movie in my bedroom in full widescreen mode , you will be in for a good surprise : -rrb- you only need the av cable for the iphone or ipad and a bluetooth or wire earphone and you have you 100 % portable cinema box that fit in you pocket . I also try it with apple tv connect through the hdmus link . it deliver a very nice picture . the build in speaker be good enough for my kid to watch cartoon while sit just behind the projector . although I love this projector i have a few comment to make . the battery life be not enough for one full movie and do not charge well if you operate the projector while it be plug to power source . it heat up a little too quickly , i know it be summer time but in 10 minute it be case be hot . with that say , my final verdict be still excellent and highly recommend . I also recommend the follow accessory : 1 -rrb- a small tripod be very important for ventilation and also position 2 -rrb- the remote be very handy because the button on the projector be small and as they dim you can not make out which button you be press . also good for slide show and short video off the memory card .
644	Projector	POS	5	I be look for a clock\/alarm that have a ceiling projector and soothing sound as the alarm . it have that and the add flashlight be a nifty idea too . it seem very well make , it be heavy so do not seem cheap . some have complain about the brightness of the clock face or projection on the ceiling but that do not bother I and I have the clock on the table right next to the bed . the soothing sound be ok . I keep alternate between they - have not find the one I really like . but maybe I just do not like wake up ! all in all this clock have the feature that I be look for .
101	Projector	POS	5	I be fortunate enough to be able to test this product for the Vine program . the 3M Pocket Projector MPro150 be a product that be useful , as my job frequently require presentation without there always be projector readily available . I be happy to take a look at the mpro150 , to check out its different capability and see what it could do . in term of the quality of the image , I have to say that the projector look great project against a screen or a plain wall . the box say that it work at up to 50 foot away from the surface be project onto , and while I do not test it at that great a distance , I get a great look picture at all the different distance upon which I try it . as far as ease of operation be concern , the unit be superb . the menu have some easily recognizable pictogram , and navigation be extremely simple . I have little problem go through Excel and PDF file , as well as the more vanilla powerpoint and text file . good stuff . connect to other device be pretty simple . it really be plug-and-play with the pc , and the iPod\/iPhone hook-up work quite well in be able to play music directly from the phone -lrb- though not , say , picture from the phone -rrb- . the smart card work well with the unit 's file system , and I can not get over the projector be able to actually hold presentation , plus video and all the rest . very cool . overall , this device do everything that I could possibly have expect it to do . I would give it a solid five star .
872	Projector	NEU	3	we do not have a television anymore , just a dvd player and we computer . the 3M Pocket Projector be great for we purpose - we can set it up anywhere and watch a show on any blank wall -lrb- or ceiling , or a cheapie cardboard screen if the wall be occupy -rrb- . the picture be a little dim in light room -lrb- to be expect -rrb- and of the four volume setting I find level 3 be a bit too soft and level 4 be a bit too loud in we 10x12 room , but that be minor . we camera tripod fit perfectly , and there be a jack for standard headphone for when my munchkin want to watch something for the umpteenth time that I just cant stand to listen to anymore . love it ! four and a half star ! - 09\/30\/11 Edited to add : I have have this unit for a year , and unfortunately now it overheat and shut down if the volume be turn above level 2 . the laptop do not always recognize that it be there either . not terribly convenient anymore , since we need three electrical outlet to watch a movie : dvd player , projector , external speaker . downgrade to three star .
49	Projector	NEU	3	I try connect this projector to the appleTV gen 2 and for much of the content the appleTV refuse to render the image as the projector be not hdcp compliant . the best resolution render be 720p 60hz . the image be excellent but appleTV simply refuse to work with it . I be go to get another cable today before return it to amazon but the packaging say hdcp compliant . I be so glad I purchase this on Amazon to have a easy return . I would definitely get another Optoma though ...
227	Projector	NEU	3	basically this product be purchase because of the low cost and its description , take into account some feedback from other buyer . my expreiencium with it work very well , but in the dark , in a room you should turn off the light so you can watch it . he sharp left to say , especially the more control you must take care that the same projector , because he be the life of the projector . if you get lose or lose , it be like if you lose you projector , you may be handicap .
317	Projector	POS	4	this mount work exactly as state and be infinitely adaptable up to a certain point - the adjustable `` leg '' extend out to increase the overall circumference ... sorry I do not measure the maximal span BUT in my case , it be about a inch short of be wide enough to span the mount hole on the Epson Powerlite 8350 that I buy it for . however , the company doe sell longer `` leg '' for a couple of dollar each , or there be a alternative model # that come with longer extension leg ... but some swift search on Amazon show you that these option be not available via Amazon `` Prime '' vendor , and I do not have time to mess about send stuff back , so ... however -lrb- 2 -rrb- if you have four short nut & bolt to spare -lrb- trip to Home Depot Hardware for such a pack - quarter inch circumference by 1 inch long + 4 washer -rrb- you can just join two of the `` long '' leg to two of the additional `` short leg '' that be pre-supplied in the kit and the result extra reach do span the gap perfectly well to accommodate say Epson 8350 projector . I will upload a photo -lrb- picture worth a thousand word -rrb- ` cos this be a quick & handy fix for load of other who write about this piece of kit not be suitable for the Epson 8350 when Amazon be unwittingly display it in the `` what other people buy when they purchase this item '' type of section when you buy a Epson 8350 . Hope this help - otherwise , it be sturdy enough and I should also add it be infinately adjustable for side-to-side leveling , front-to-back leveling , have a extender bar if you need to drop it down from a high ceiling and also have a pivot plate that attach to the ceiling to accomodate a angled vaulted ceiling like we have . go for it , but not if you have a Epson 8350 and you do not want to mess about with the afore-mentioned 4 extra nut & bolt like I use -lrb- hence the 4 star & not 5 -rrb- ... but in all honesty if you can put the thing together in the first place , you can just as easily add four extra bolt & save yourself $ 20 or so vs the other model with the `` long leg '' . ooh-err , missus .
826	Projector	POS	5	I be lucky enough to grab one of these ysp-1100 unit while Amazon have they for $ 432 and be so glad I do ! my Marantz receiver be start to give I trouble and I be dissatisfy with the sound of my Boston acoustic surround speaker . I take a chance on what seem impossible -- a surround system without all the wire and point sound source . after live with this system for about two week , try it with dv 's , hdtv , CD 's and internet music service -lrb- Pandora and Slacker through a squeezebox -rrb- , I be definitely impressed . the automatic setup be pretty amazing and fairly easy to tweak use the manual setup menu . connect all the input and output be a bit frustrating , but once I figure it out only take a few hour . the remote code work for my Sony dvd player and 10-year-old Mitsubishi tv , but I can not get the Motorola cable box code work , so I have to use the cable remote for some thing and the Yamaha remote for most control . the sound be glorious , and frankly I can not figure out how this technology work so well ! my room be not ideal , with a eight-foot wide opening at the back of the room . in spite of this , on many sound source I definitely hear sound come from the side and back of the room . the soundstage for regular stereo CD 's and most tv broadcast span the entire 14 foot wall behind the tv . concert dvd 's and football game envelope the room in crowd noise , while concentrate the music\/commentary in the center front where they belong . I frequently hear sound that appear to come from all over my house . even my dog wake up bark many time look for the sound ! beyond the surround effect , which be miraculous , the sound be crisp and life-like . some other reviewer have comment that the sound be a bit bright and I adjust the treble gain down a bit which work for I . acoustic music sound like it be right in the room and all music do not have the artificial separation that stereo speaker create -- most music naturally be in the middle of the soundstage and this unit reproduce music much more naturally than separated stereo speaker in my opinion . overall this be a terrific system and I think it be well worth the current price of $ 700-800 , particularly consider you would have to spend at least $ 400 for a decent receiver and more for decent speaker . I should add that I be use my old Boston Acoustic 100W subwoofer and it sound better than it ever do before . I think the crossover adjustment be calibrate better and there be no discernable `` gap '' in frequency response . a sub be definitely require . could someone build a system this good with a good amplifier , wireless rear speaker , etc ? absolutely ... for about $ 2,000 . be a few bell and whistle miss from this to make it perfect for purist ? yes . but the benefit be overwhelming and I would not trade this system in for anything right now .
52	Projector	NEG	1	I buy this projector for my rotary Club . unfortunately , do not test the project in time to send it back in the allotted time frame . the problem with the projector be that the image project be not bright enough . I try work with the manufacturer , even send it back to they for repair and pay $ 75 to have it check out . when the projector be return there be no improvement in the brightness . the manufacturer still insist that be the best they could do . we club eventually buy another projector , the brightness do not compare . the projector sit collect dust . I want every Rotarian in the world to know this .
646	Projector	POS	5	we need a extremely bright projector at we church since we have a huge amount of ambient light and other bright stage light in we sanctuary . this one do the trick ! it be like look at a tv screen even with all the other light on when it shine on we projector screen !!!!!
384	Projector	POS	4	this projector have completely blow I away . once it be focus in , the quality of picture be impressive . it be not hard to set it up or stow it away . I do not like have a tv visible in my house so , with this projector , I roll down a screen , set it up , and I be watch theater quality-huge projection . it be awesome ! I be totally recommend this .
613	Projector	POS	5	first , let 's set expectation . I do not care if this would replicate a purpose build home theater unit . I buy the optoma because it be small , would sit on a end table beside my couch and have good enough resolution to play game when I point it at my wall . I know it would not display hd , it be less than $ 400 , and it come with a headphone jack so I would not disturb the wife -lrb- too much -rrb- while she be watch tv . I be worry that it would be a little dim , cheaply construct , and difficult to adjust . turn out , it be well constucted , plenty bright -lrb- especially on a\/c power -rrb- , and focus the unit be straightforward . what I do not expect be that it would be bright enough in daylight to watch espn3 through the xbox , play game with no issue , and that it would work with my gorilla camera tripod . when the sun set and the room darken , it work exactly like I hope it would when I buy it . when the sun 's up , I can still use it without issue . if you want a high def experience , buy something else . if you want a hand size projector to play image against a available -lrb- white -rrb- surface in anything but the brightest lighting , this thing work . add a hdmus cable and a Apple HDMI adapter , and you have get a portable projector for Angry bird at 60 '' . who would have think ?
719	Projector	POS	5	Works as advertised - better than some of the bigger model con : the menu on the screen after boot up , be not very intuitive , you have to finger just about every button before there be a response - same with use the supply remote , overall , i would recommend this to anyone look to throw up some dazzling art , or gaming in the back yard , the list go on .
997	Projector	POS	5	after read the review and compare price i decide to go for the projector . I know it have limitation -lrb- mention on previous review -rrb- but I be glad I purchase it . I be use it to watch movie with my wife in we backyard and image quality be real good . the image project be large -lrb- more than 100 inch -rrb- . although you can still see the image with some light on nearby it will be a lot better if it be completely dark . I be plan on post a video on utube so people can see the picture quality . great buy .
661	Projector	POS	5	spend a lot of time compare this and the Epson 8350 . the decision come down to color as the black finish blended in well with my black ceiling . very happy with this projector . movie theater quality picture on my 100 '' diagonal screen . no image tear , no artifact ; just pure clean image . you can hear the projector when you turn it on , but can not hear it at all when you be watch a movie . we also have we xbox 360 hook up through this projector . again ... beautiful . I highly recommend the use of a surround home theater system . between gaming and movie night , I have not be very productive since I set all of this up earlier this year .
193	Projector	POS	4	unlike other reviewer I put this together without the suspension bar and mount my projector only a few inch from the ceiling . that work fine . actually , my unit do not seem to have enough screw to use the bar . it be very sturdy and be work great . I do not look up in the instruction on the web -lrb- maybe I should have -rrb- but find it quite easy to figure out . the part supply be different from the include part summary though , at least in the number and type of screw include . Mine come with 3 different type of screw for the projector but not enough of the short hex screw , although I make it work just fine with what it have .
190	Projector	NEG	2	this be absolutely not a fit for Optoma hd20 . I do not know how it fit other projector , but if you have hd20 look somewhere else . the mount assembly be too big for the tiny optoma and it be too hard to fit it in . if you try the centroid method the manual suggest , its nearly impossible to align the hole to match . once you put it together and mount it on the ceiling , it will still have some tiny wobble and adjust to fit the screen be quite a task . tighten the bolt do not really help so much . the only good thing be that the piece that attach to the ceiling be very strong and well build . in general , remember to loosen the bolt before hoist it on the ceiling . you will have to oil the bolt and put a lot of strength to loosen they . they be terribly tight . Stay away from it if you have a hd20 !
41	Projector	NEG	1	you replace the battery for power and do not work . please thank he for he help with solve the case
155	Projector	POS	5	I use this for movie night outside on a 9 ` x16 ' screen make out of blackout cloth purchase on here from Carl 's place . you would be about 27 ' from the screen and the color and clarity through my blu-ray player be UNBELIVEABLE . there be no overheating or blur like other have say . I use a 720p Vivitek projector and this one blow it away . you will not be disappoint . the on board speaker be ok but I hook up my own surround sound . buy with confidence .
892	Projector	NEG	1	I live in Peru and a relative bring this item to I when he come to Peru . when i try it it didnt work and i have to take it to a technician just to figure out it have a burnt circuit inside . it be the worst decision to buy this item . wouldnt trust in this store again . I 'll have to pay someone else to fix it , since im not in the US to make a complaint directly to the store .
98	Projector	POS	5	this mount be simple , extremely well construct and fit the Epson 8350 perfectly . I buy the one with the 8 '' extension but i do not need it as the 8350 picture adjust just fine be only a few inch from the ceiling . my projector be solid and sturdy . I would definitely recommend this mount .
754	Projector	POS	5	I see a review about this projector about a year ago on a tv show call screen saver , which air on tectv . they give it a good review so i give it a try , a love it . I only buy it to watch dvd 's on a it work perfect for that . I have a huge wall in one room of we house a simply paint the wall white a use it as the screen . a 20 foot screen no less . it be the ultimate home theater , just add you surround sound a boom . no reason to ever leave you house for the movie again . yes the light do need to be low , or in my case i like it dark . but its get a great picture a more then worth the price . we have have nothing but fun with it ever since i buy . its the perfect projector for those on a buget or for anyone that just do ` nt like to waste a lot of money on something like watch movie ... ... ...
986	Projector	POS	4	I buy this on Amazon and have my parent deliver it to I in the Philippines -lrb- this save I almost 50 % ! -rrb- . I be use this projector for home entertainment . I have it setup in my living room\/kitchen . this room get lot of light as we be on the 16th floor . I have the bulb set to eco mode , as I want to extend the life . the image be visible on my wall , but not very enjoyable to watch . when we close all the curtain it look great . I find the image quality to be good enough , even project straight on my white wall . I do not have any hdmus stuff , so do not mind that it can not handle HDMI input -lrb- this could become a problem in the future I suppose -rrb- . I have 2 negative for this projector so far . 1 . it do not seem to auto-detect the input . so switch from computer to dvd player require you push `` source '' . not a problem , just a bit annoying . 2 . within the 1st month of use the picture go dark and the power light turn purple ! I freak out a bit , flip through the user manual -lrb- which be crap , like most user manual -rrb- to find no helpful advise except to bring it in for servicing ! I leave it alone for a good hour or 2 , but purple light keep flash ! so I decide to unplug it and plug it back in ... and it work ! have not happen again since . I have be use it for a few hour which may have cause it to overheat ? I have also change it be location which be a bit more open and should help with ventilation . I recommend this projector for most average user . you 'll enjoy it and it be large picture . we still watch cable on we small tv in we bedroom , but all movie get view on the projector . if you be think of get one of the new led projector because of the how long the bulb will last , consider you average viewing time . I calculate ours and this bulb should last about 4-5 year ! that be pretty decent .
798	Projector	POS	4	great price fast shipping pack very well . Unfortunalty unable to speak about product as it be not the lamp that be out the unit be break and have it send out for service
524	Projector	NEG	1	last only 4.5 month . : -lrb- I be not sure what to think of it . other than a : -lrb- Face , I think I will go a different route , because my OEM lamp last for year ...
895	Projector	POS	4	$ 200 Projector never compite hi-end equipment . plastic case look FRAGILE but I lo ve it te image be very good , be the kind of projector that you let you kid plug itm or take to camping . I be afraid be not lead because the light be very good for a lead projector , but if some budy can confirm I will apreciate Alot of input interface hdmus , VGA , RCA , build in speaker for this price you can not buy something better and I recomend this for hobby or just a good movie or video game night , even some power point but NOTHING PROFESSIONAL 640X480 NATIVE RESOLUTION and UPSCALE for more than THIS BUT look very good on video and foto
802	Projector	POS	5	I have use this item like 3 day and I buy it as a replacement for my old epson and as a complement to my benq ... I have probe it in different condition and I can describe it as follow ... at night light on or off it simply work great in power point presentation and computer general use ... the same for movie ... when connect to the ps3 or my 360 image be not as good as in a lcd tv , but it be possible to play and that be normal if you consider that this projector be 800x600 and it be really cheap ... when connect to my old xbox , my ps2 or the wius it work exactly as a tv , same quality ... anyway I would not recommend this unit to play new video game ... in day light condition it continue work perfectly well ... you can see the image clear even in a image 60 '' wide ... terrific performance for such a cheap projector ... I highly recommend it ... if I compare this projector to my other two one -lrb- a expensive epson and cheap benq -rrb- I only have one thing to say ... why do 'n this acer exist when I buy my first projector ? this one be superior in all term ... Acer x1161p be actually 2700 lumen , not 2500 ... in the economic mode image quality decrease let 's say like 15 % or 20 % in day light condition but it be still ok ... on the other hand , at night you can not hardly see any difference ... if you want to buy a projector take this seriously into consideration ... it be great ... and remember , a replacement lamp be only 128 buck ...
724	Projector	POS	5	projector come well box in a timely manner . not a plug and play . nothing explicitly tell you that you will need cable to hook up to a tv or a computer . come with a 6 '' cable to attach to a disk player ... if you intend to sit it on a disk player , then you be , do . if you wish to run it from you laptop , you 'll need a cable . I like this one , Cables Unlimited PCM-2240-15 SVGA Cable with 3.5 mm male to Male Audio . note as other have , the speaker on the projector can not be hear well at all , I be work on add speaker to it . projector be bright , project very well , black be not super black , but for non-theater like people , it be okay . buy the projector , buy cable at the same time . it seam well make . I use it for class room lecture and some home use , root beer slide show party , it be fine . enjoy it .
361	Projector	POS	5	I be expect to pay somewhere between $ 175 and $ 250 for a new lamp for a projection tv i get for free . however , I find this vendor offering exactly the same product at a really great price . the lamp install and fire right up with absolutely no problem . I would recommend the vendor and the lamp to any who find themselves in need of a replacement lamp for they projection tv .
178	Projector	POS	4	Muito bom . Compacto , design excelente . Estou muito satisfeito !! esta conforme esperado no momento da compra . Otimo para mobilidade tambem . Tenho este equipamento junto com um wdtv live hub . otima combinacao .
617	Projector	NEU	3	the size be great , just disappoint with the low brightness , and it be a struggle to find the right sharpness and color balance anytime I play a video or watch a movie . I be just new to lead projector . do not expect any miracle from 110 lumen . Dont expect good image quality with this product .
705	Projector	POS	5	the mount system work just as you would expect , or better . the installation process take less than 30 minute , and it could not be much simpler . I live in a place build in the 1970 's , so I have 8 ' ceiling as be typical of construction at that time . even with a fairly tall projector , sharp dt-510 , I have more than 7 ' of clearance under the projector . it be exactly what I need for my installation .
461	Projector	POS	5	I have have my Powerlite s1 + for a little over a year now , and I have virtually no complaint . through some creative shopping , -lrb- ie . pricematching and mail in rebate -rrb- I only pay about $ 350 for this projector . I have it permanently mount in the ceiling of my basement and have a screen that be about 113 '' diagonal . it have over 1000 hour of use now , and everybody that have be over to watch a movie on it have be totally blow away and they all want one . as far as the $ 100 component video cable from epson , I be worry about this too until I find a local company that make custom datum cable . I pay $ 13 for a 15 foot cable that work beautifully . initially I think maybe when my bulb wear out I would upgrade to a higher end projector , but now that I have have so much enjoyment out of this over the last year , I be plan on stick with it and just buy a new bulb or two .
481	Projector	POS	5	I be deploy and this be by far the best use of any money I have ever spend . I can have any size tv I want for so cheap . its really good quality and make for a great thing to bring people together . pro : well where to start , the projector be lead so no warm up , long lifespan mine still like New . you can plug practically anything into it and it always come out crystal clear . this be very lightweight and small so easy to lock up or transport . Pretty much everything about this be worth the money you spend on it . con : the speaker on it be barely able to be call speaker , I have hear bed squeak louder then it . the little front stand to make it higher be off center so sometimes it wobble . the remote come with dead battery . as you may be able to tell i have to work at find something wrong with this , yes and for good reason since this be by far the best projector I have ever use . this be not just the best projector , but its the best investment I have make in a long time .
454	Projector	POS	4	I 'll start with the `` pro '' \*\* it be lightweight compare to other similarly price projector . \*\* the lamp be incredibly bright , similar to what I would expect with a home theater class type projector . \*\* the construction do not feel cheap . it feel solid in you hand and \*\* when you flip it over or pick it up suddenly you do not hear and joint or seam creak like you do with some cheaper build plastic chassis projector . \*\* the outside look nice , be easy to clean and be firm to the touch . \*\* the control be extremely fool-proof . \*\* the `` keystone correction '' be great . no matter how high up , or down \*\* there be a lot of `` mode '' from blackboard to beige wall to white board to video to ultra bright . these might seem like silly extra perk , but they be truly invaluable in help you get it set up to look great fast . \*\* the definition for image up to 4-5 foot wide be INCREDIBLE . extremely high definition with incredible contrast . when you pull it back from the wall to go for something like a 6 foot wide image you will will notice fairly dramatic decline in definition , but the color still look great ! bright and vivid \*\* lot of plug in for VGA plug . no hdmus . I believe it can take up to three VGA plus and have a VGA OUT plug as well , so if you be use a desktop monitor , you can have what ever be show on you monitor also show on a monitor . it will let you bypass the projector when in conjuction with a CPU and let you continue to use you desktop monitor , you CPU , and all while project whatever you CPU or other device be tell it to . very nice feature I do not expect for this price . \*\* decent speaker . not incredible . good consider the money . \*\* nice free little carry bag and remote control -lrb- with battery ! -rrb- \*\* last and not least , this projector have two fan and they be both incredibly quiet no matter what mode it be in . they be also obviously quite effecient as well because when you turn the unit off the fan only need to run for about another 60 seconds to get the unit totally cool to the touch and then they power down as well . the `` con '' \*\* while it do have keystone correction it be only vertical , not horizontal . so you need to make sure when you be project that the projector be parallel with the wall . no horizontal keystone correction here . \*\* this be the opposite of a `` short throw '' or `` ultra short throw '' . this device be very much LONG LONG THROW . to get the size of image I be look for I need to have this projector about 12-17 foot away from the wall . \*\* when the in104 be on it put out quite a bit of heat . as I say though , the fan do a great job with keep it cool . I assume it throw off so much heat b\/c , for a projector in this price range , the lamp really put out a lot of light . \*\* as I say before , you need to get this thing pretty darn far away from the wall to get a nice big projection . the issue with that then be , a lot of you audience will probably be somewhere between the wall , and the projector . this be not the place to be as this thing have a crazy intense rainbow effect . I be normally not too sensitive to the rbe , but when I look back this projector when it be project the Disney movie `` Tinkerbell '' I think I be trip some major acid . it be totally psychodelic to look back at the unit in the middle of movie play . if super bright flicker light rapidly change color freak you out , you might want to spend a little bit more money and step up a model to one of INFOCUS `` short throw '' projector so you can keep that rbe in between the wall and the projector without you in the middle of it . \*\* the fan on this unit be big and powerful , and quiet to boot , but because of that , this unit spill a fairly substantial amount of light out of the fan duct . to I it be not distracting , but if you be really want a DARK DARK room for a home theater , it might be annoying . \*\* while the control panel be efficient , it be also very spartan ! this unit be all about just solid basics and not about lot of really cool bonus feature . \*\* no autofocus , which again , for this price range might be expect . the manual focus include a fast action `` course '' and `` fine '' focus though that be extremely easy to use to get a nice focus within about 5-10 seconds of initial focus manipulation . overall I would say this be great projector for the money . I be a public senior high math teacher and I think this will be great for use in a fairly bright room as the lamp be really powerful , however , the fact that I need such a long throw distance to get the image up to the right size be frustrating , and in hind sight I wish I have spend about 300-400 more dollar and get the same projector with a `` ultra short throw '' bulb and with a few bonus feature to boot on one of Infocus higher level model . as a projector for a large business\/conference room it would be great . for a large classroom it would be great . for a small classroom\/conference room I would not reccommend this unit . for a home theater for just a little bit of extra fun , in a nice big living room , I would reccommend it , however for a small bedroom or small basement room , no way no way . the color be incredible , the definition be superb , and even with fast action video I find there to be very little `` motion blur '' which be typically something that plague projector in this price range . all and all I would say it be the heart and gut of a unit twice the price , in a spartan wrapper , minus some of the nice bonus feature you might want if you be willing to spend twice the price . I give the unit a average of `` 4 '' star consider feature and performance for the buck !
148	Projector	POS	5	this be a really nice product at a great price point . installation be a breeze . I just wish that the controller box be able to be switch to the leave instead of the right . -lrb- this be due to my particular installation -rrb- . other than that , it be well worth the cost .
60	Projector	POS	5	I have use this for play 360 game on it and movie and it be awesome . it be my first 1080p Projector so I do not have anything else to compare it to . it be portable . I come with it be own carry case . I go to friend home and play 360 on he white wall . no gaming lag . color be vibrant and crystal clear . my other option be to take a 42 inch hdtv with I , which be heavier , smaller screen size or take this pro8200 with I and play on 100-120 inch screen . and do not weigh as much as my hdtv . if you be super critical about projector , then get a 3 thousand dollar unit . if you want a 1080p projector , with build in speaker , portable , 2 hdmus input , 2 vga computer input , mic input , audio in and out connection and be under 1,000 dollar with 3 year warranty and 1 year bulb . this be a winner .
721	Projector	POS	5	very affordable , good product -lrb- 5 month -rrb- and its still perform as the first day . the only negative be that focus be good but not great . when research this product i be never able to get this information so here it be , in about 9 foot distance i can get a 53 inch display .
995	Projector	POS	4	warning : Great projector , do not buy for 3d capability , not hdmus 1.4 certify after several year of use a old BenQ projector we finally upgrade to the q200 . we do some reading on Amazon and like the favorable review and decide to go for it . it be a great choice , we mount it in we home theater earlier last week and the image quality be very impressive . pro : great price\/value excellent image quality over HDMI Bright vivid image con : strange mount hole arrangement it get a little warm which worry I , but that be probably due to high intensity bulb not 3d ready unless from the computer !!!!
659	Projector	POS	4	I have be shop for projector to connect to my pc for gaming for a few week , but I keep come back to this one . now that I have get it , I can honestly say it be a excellent choice . the setup be quick and completely painless ; I just hook it to my pc 's video card via a dvi-hdmus adapter , switch it on , and voilum . the picture quality be excellent . it be bright , with deep black and vibrant color . I have hear tell of some people see a rainbow effect with dlp projector , but I must be one of the lucky few , because I have not notice that in the 10 or so hour I have use it so far . grant , I have it in a small , dark room , but the brightness of the picture surprise I as well . anxious to try it out , I point it at a wall that be paint dark chocolate brown . even on that surface , the picture be acceptably bright . when I add a matte white screen , it really blow I away . one of the primary reason I choose this model be its 0.72 throw ratio . and indeed , it work as advertise . I have get it sit around 5.5 foot from the wall , and with that I be able to achieve a 6-foot wide image . if I have one complaint , it be that there be no zoom that I can find , so I be pretty much lock to this setup . if you have a larger room , just be prepare for a giant image . another minor niggle be that the remote do not seem to work when use behind the unit . I sit it on a desk in front of I , and I have to lean forward to do any setup change on the unit 's button themselves . Picture clarity be not as tack-sharp as a lcd monitor , but it be acceptable for my purpose . I do not use the audio portion of this model , so I can not comment on the speaker quality . all in all , I be very happy with the purchase .
715	Projector	NEG	2	I purchase this EPSON Projector for the same reason a lot of people probably due . 1 . it be a EPSON . they make great product . 2 . the Amazon.com price be much lower than retail . 3 . the description promise a huge picture with a nice image . 4 . hdmus input and the promise of `` near hd '' quality picture . well . yes , it do look nice and it have a self-contained dvd player . the hook-up be easy to reach and the remote glow in the dark . however : the ability to change setting lack completely . it be like a robot : `` I must do it this way . '' the lamp get HOT ! very hot ! so hot , that the exhaust make it nearly impossible to adjust the front leg . well , do not even worry about do that , because then you have white screen fill with no picuture . the keystone adjustment work for the picture itself , but not the entire project light image . the screensaver be something from the original Atari and the speaker sound muffle ; they be such bad quality speaker that , in order to hear the word , you have to turn it up to the point where you ear hurt from the loudness of everything else . only the ECO setting let the fan noise decrease enough to even hear the speaker . this be a piece of garbage projector . unless , you really wanna watch all of you television and movie in stunning 480i picture quality -lrb- like a old VHS tape -rrb- but REALLY REALLY BIG !!!!! - then this be for you . otherwise , save you money and buy a 32 '' or 37 '' lcd 720 or 1080 tv . heck , for $ 499.00 , you can probably get a decent 32 '' Class full hd 1080p television or 37 '' Class 720p HD television . do not waste you money on this projector . if , the 720p or 1080 hd one ever come down to a decent price ; I will consider buy another one . until then , I 'll stick with the flat screen .
89	Projector	NEG	2	I have own this projector for approximately 1.5 year now . the image the projector put out be great , but there be some obvious design flaw with the lamp cooling system . while the company have replace numerous component at no cost to I as I be still inside the 2 year warranty period -lrb- 2 lamp , the air filter , and now the entire projector -rrb- , at the current rate I expect to purchase a entire new projector within a year of the warranty run out . I have get 9 month out of each lamp so far , and once its out of warranty I will be able to replace the entire unit for the cost of the next two new lamp . I have also be disappoint with how loud it turn out to be , which be in contrast to a number of review I read when decide which projector to purchase . my unit be ceiling mount immediately above the couch , and the fact that the cooling fan be always on be noticible . lastly , my projector be mount near a air conditioning vent and get plenty of cold air , but still can not seem to last more then 2-3 hour without overheate .

30	Projector	POS	5	I have to write a review for this amazing product . I purchase my Qumi in August , so I have have enough time to play around with it and give a honest review . the picture quality be just amazing . I use to have a older Sanyo pj that be just standard def . replacement bulb for my Sanyo pj be $ 500 each ouch !!! the qumus seem like it be light year ahead of its time when I first see the image on my screen . the qumus do have to warm up for a few minute before the focus be clear . it be nothing major with 30,000 lamp life , if the few minute it take to focus bother anyone that much you can just leave this wonderful device on all the time -lrb- in eco mode -rrb- and you will never have to worry about the focus issue . sometimes I leave my qumus on for hour at a time because I do not have to worry about a bulb !!!! when I do leave it on for long period of time I simply switch from normal mode to eco mode and when I be ready to watch again turn normal mode back on and I be experience eye candy !! my wife like the pj also because it really do look like a oversize hdtv . I do have my Qumi in a dark basement , but I can leave on a couple of light -lrb- away from the screen -rrb- and the picture be bright enough . my brightness be not even all the way up it be like at 60 -lrb- can go to 100 -rrb- . as far as 3d be concern the qumus can put out a 3d image with extra hardware of course , but the qumus can do it . I watch Drive Angry 3d and the picture brightness be kind of dark , but in a dark environment the picture be still bright enough to enjoy a 3d movie . the qumus be a great product and the selling point for I be no more bulb to buy ! just turn on sit back and enjoy . you do not even have to worry about fall asleep with this many hour on the bulb . you could run this projector for 24 hour a day 7 day a week for 4 year before the bulb show any sign of fail . that be just wonderful ! fortunately , no one will run they Qumi for that long so therefore , you Qumi will last you for at least 10 year use it like you would you regular tv . hopefully by then the Qumi will be cheaper and I can have one in every room that use to have a hdtv . the future be look 300 lumen brighter , thanks qumus for a great product . I would recommend this product to anyone look for a economical way of enjoy hd on a huge screen .

160	Projector	POS	5	the B&W; Panorama sound bar be my first choice but pricey at $ 2300 . a friend of mine who manage a high-end audio store and familiar with both the B&W; and Yamaha line suggest I look at the Yamaha 4100 specifically . it have more feature and be almost $ 700 less . I take he suggestion and have be extremely happy with the ysp-4100 . after upgrade the 4100 's firmware to the latest version 7.0.3 , 3d hdmus pass thru from my Samsung 3D Blu-Ray to Samsung 3D TV also work properly .
174	Projector	NEU	3	Disclaimer : this be the only ceiling mount I have ever buy or use . I have install a lot of thing in my life and in my house , but this be the only projector mount . my impression be that it be as easy or slightly easier than average . you ideally want two people , because it help with : 1 . make sure the pilot hole you be drill into the ceiling joist be all around straight from all view angle 2 . stand beneath the one on the ladder , support the projector from below when it be finally be attach , because it very likely will slip and fall a little at some point , and it be amazing how useless this mount be with a smash projector 3 . understand the slightly too cryptic instruction other random advice : boy oh boy be joist skinnier than wall stud . and you do not want to screw into the edge of one and only discover this when the mount take the weight . we be lucky - we have two test hole which miss the joist , but by insert a large paperclip bent in a c-shape into each and spin they , we be able to tell right away that it be exactly in between the two . I have three problem with this guy . 1 . I install it on a 19 pound Panasonic PTAR100U , a projector I mostly love , especially for its excellent brightness . I try use the extend leg to mount it off-center from the joist . even with the 40 pound limit and the `` no-slip '' lock ring lock , the unit tilted toward the heavy side and there be no way around it . have to set up the leg so the joist and mount be directly above the center of the unit . the instruction do not talk about this . 2 . relatedly : even when balance , even with the `` no-slip '' ring lock , more than the tiniest nudge will tilt the projector in any direction . I call v7 and this be apparently just how the mount work . I be go to have to install some kind of additional stabilizer , like glue , or velcro , or a level that I can use to make sure I be fix it right when it tip again . every time I focus my projector or change the zoom , the image end up shift off the screen somewhere . I zoom out for 1:2.35 widescreen - totally fun with a 2.35 screen and a projector this bright ! but use the joystick to center the image , the resistance in the projector be like sixty time greater than the `` no-slip '' ring , so it be quite harrowing . 3 . it be only available in black , and the projector and ceiling be white . maybe I be crazy , but I think most projector be not black anymore , and most ceiling be some kind of white , so ... maybe that be part of why it be so affordable . all in all , it keep my projector close to the ceiling and it be reasonably easy to install , and it definitely allow for tilt correction more than some mount might -lrb- too much for I ! -rrb- , so it may be ok for you .
903	Projector	NEG	1	purchase this from Kohls for a Christmas gift very dissapointed . noisy fan and the picture be very fuzzy , try all the seting for color , contrast , ect . unable to improve picture . save you money and buy a better one , find one on here for 139.00 hopefully it will be better .
926	Projector	POS	4	Easy to use , fun for both inside and out . we use it for the WII and movie . Picture quality be like go to the movie , not hd . still , we watch most movie on this projector . Great for kid 's sleepover . my only issue be the sound level . it need on external speaker jack so you can place speaker in front . may be hard to hear when you sit in front of projector . I would definately recommend this for outdoor fun viewing .
678	Projector	POS	4	the potential for this little projector be fantastic . but along with other reviewer , I feel that the technology be not quite on par yet to demand the price . what would be useful be a plug and play device that would allow a travel business person to easily -lrb- note the word : easily -rrb- queue up presentation on a laptop , etc for view in a board room , etc. . when I see this little projector , that be my first thought . I use a  Apple MacBook pro MC700LL\/A 13.3-Inch laptop  after search on the web , I find more information on the 3M site regard this little machine . unless you be desire to watch certain type of media -lrb- movie , ppt presentation or video -rrb- , I could not get the device to work . what about the simple concept of projection ? project my screen up onto a larger screen -lrb- if use a laptop -rrb- . I could not successfully accomplish this . perhaps a later iteration of the product will be more flexible , provide more instruction and fewer cable and confusion . the projector be not short on anything except instruction on how to use it . it be not as plug and Play as one would think . the ONLY real thing I do with it be watch a movie from my ipad use a include cable . not very useful since there be not enough sound capability to even count . this little projector be probably just at the beginning of it be type . I have confidence that in the future new iteration will be better and more intuitive . 3 star .
939	Projector	POS	4	I be about to buy this thing - but notice there be not info on contrast ratio - which be important if use it in a darkened room . probably cause it do not have a good contrast ratio . Staples have it list at 2,000 to 1 . but , it will probably be fine . I will add more when I get it and use it . I have use the ex50 and it seem fine , and Epson customer service be excellent -lrb- have to replace the first one send as it do not work -rrb- . also , it talk about a hd quality picture ??? but the wide xga be not a high def quality image . that would be 1920 x 1080 . most popular home theater projector resolution wide xga 1280 x 800 1,024,000 total pixel hd 1920 x 1080 2,073,600 total pixel I be no expert , but notice these two bit of info that be lack or incorrectly imply . correct I if I be wrong - please . one good site say : `` wide xga projector will deliver great result when feed a 1080p signal , just not as great as they hd counterpart . that say , you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the two unless you be project a very large image , say eight foot diagonal or more . '' `` Contrast ratio literally refer to the difference between the blackest black and the whitest white in a image . a projector with a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 be not necessarily five time better than one with a 2,000:1 ratio . the contrast ratio do not account for how the projector display all the shades of gray in between the blackest black and whitest white . look for projector with more control setting . multi-color processing technology like BrilliantColor and srgb mode will allow you to really tweak the projector 's display to you liking .

937	Projector	POS	4	when I order this item I be optimistic consider that it be half the price of a OEM replacement . give that this be my third lamp in the 5 + year I have own the tv I be look for a cost savings . when I open the package I notice that the glass in front of the bulb do not cover the whole opening , it be a vertical rectangle rather a full circle like the toshiba factory replacement . this replacement unit lack the Toshiba marking . other than these few difference I have not see any issue . the unit plug in as normal and my tv have be operate fine with normal viewing habit .
816	Projector	POS	5	I be look for a projector to use for my home theater as well as something I could rent out -lrb- to recover my cost -rrb- . about a week of research lead I to the x1 . I be originally look at the Epson Powerlite s1 , but after read several review on it about how pixelated it look . . most reviewer reccomend the x1 over the Epson . this lead I to start look at Infocus x1 review . I check around several place and here at Amazon as well and all of they be very good . as you have probably already read , the main complaint everyone have have be the `` rainbow effect '' . I probably would have never notice it if I have not be look for it when I get it home . you mainly notice it if you move you head after you have blink . I know this sound crazy , but that be when I have notice it . it be not that big of a deal and most of you friend that you bring over to watch a movie will never even notice it ! I have not get the screen yet , have to order it , but even on my white wall it look very nice even with some lighting on . it be much brighter then I expect ! I have try it with my pc connect to watch a dvd and also with my Sony dvd home Theater system connect up with s-video cable . the picture be about the same . I have order the adapter for the composite signal so that should make the picture even better . Hope this help ! I would definately reccomend this projector to anyone look for a low price projector .

333	Projector	POS	5	look at the s1 in respect to use it for home theater - \* it provide a brighter picture than most Home Theatre Projectors at 1200 Lumens \* the picture be very clear \* the color be accurate and vibrant \* the contrast be average . DLP PJ 's like the Infocus x1 have better contrast but u risk see rainbow effect with cheap DLP PJ 's \* it have a short throw lens so 10 foot get approx 100 inch diagonal screen so it can suit small room down to say 9 x 9 foot \* it doesnt have a genuine zoom feature so placement in a room be limited \* it be SVGA resolution but with the .5 size pixel -lrb- instead of .7 on most SVGA PJ 's -rrb- screen door\/pixelation be much reduce . I have it in my 12 ' by 11 ' bedroom at a diagonal screen size of approx 95 ' and it look supurb . \* fan sound be about average . it exhaust the air out the front so can be mount close to a wall \* it doesnt have manual individual color adjustment . the 5 preset view mode will be fine for most , couple with the ability to adjust contrast\/brightness . \* try to position the pj at right angle to the screen in order to avoid use keystone correction . the picture look slightly better if u dont use keystone correction with this pj . \* the pj itself be very inexpensive and the replacement lamp be the cheapest i have ever see . would be good if the lamp could go more than 2000 hour but since they be so cheap its not so much of a issue . \* many s1 's be sold\/have be sell so it should be easy to get replacement item such as lamp in the future . \* doesnt have a individual component video connection . U have to use the RGB port so if u have a pc u have to share this port . would have be good to have a seperate component video port .  there be several entry level pj 's which be provide performance at a level previously only find on PJ 's much more expensive . at similar to the EPSON s1 price point you could look at Infocus x1 , Hitachi CPS210 , Sanyo z1 amongst other .  in Summary Epson s1 - Bright , very clear picture , excellent color , short throw , cheap globe  im very happy with the s1 . the most important issue above all be the picture and this pj 's picture be crystal clear , bright and vibrant .  regard Talisman

900	Projector	POS	5	pro : use mostly for presentation and occasionally to display video , amazingly visible in a well illuminated room , minimal difference between ECO and normal mode so you can go ECO mode in any condition , cool feature to adjust light output to compensate wall paint color -lrb- so you can convert any wall into a real screen -rrb- , 6000 hour lamp in ECO , low noise , very good scaling of non native resolution try 1280 x 800 , 1366 x 768 and 1650 x 1080 , I feed a 720p hd OTA TV signal of a soccer game and the picture be excellent , actually amazing for a projector in this price range , brilliant color , lamp replacement around 120 usd , small footprint for a 2700 luman device , very good option for a datum projector at this price . actually this be the second Acer projector I buy for my group , very satisfied with the performance . con : \* no audio . \* no button , the remote control slide in the projector housing to be use as the button station , so if you lose the remote you will suffer , so better keep the remote attach to the projector . \* only 1 year of warranty , all other Acer projector have 2 , not sure why , however for less than 40 you can add 1 year of warranty . \* -lrb- not a con , more like a suggestion -rrb- seem like the auto keystone correction be too sensitive and may try to readjust the image every 5 minute or so , that cause image flickering , so manual keystone adjustment be the way to go . other thought : Acer be do very good electronics at affordable price , I have a Acer AMD laptop -lrb- 4 year old now -rrb- almost indestructible and very reliable , 2 23 '' lcd monitor buy for less than 139 each , very satisfied with Acer , keep the good work .
894	Projector	POS	5	I find it very easy to setup on both pc and Macintosh computer . oddly , I have a small issue install the usb driver on my Mac laptop . when I connect the usb cable to my Mac , the mac pop up a alert that it could not identify the keyboard . I dismiss that dialog box and proceed with the usb video driver installation and once that be do , the projector pair up with the computer easily . no issue whatsoever connect the VGA cable to the pc with Windows 7 . the projector be immediately recognize by the laptop and the computer automatically start send the video signal to the lcd projector . brightness be in my opinion outstanding , even in a bright room with a lot of fluorescent lighting . I have my projector 8 foot from a wall and the image on the wall be roughly 6 foot wide and about 44 inch tall . I be impress with the amount of feature in this very reasonably price projector . the image be relatively sharp at 800x600 resolution and a zoom control on the projector be a unexpected feature that allow you to zoom in on photo or whatever be be project . the keystone adjustment let you correct for off axis projection angle within reason . just about everything can be control with the provide remote control . the remote even include a electronic pointer function that you can move on the screen via the arrow control . a good variety of port be available include RCA Audio port , S-Video , VGA cable and there be also a usb typea document camera port . a Kensington security lock slot be also available . there be no hdmus connection on this model . the projector let you upload a company logo or image of some sort that can be permanently use as the `` startup screen '' when you first turn the projector on . this can also be password protect thus give some amount of protection if the projector be steal . the operation of the projector can also be protect by a password if you wish . lamp life be project to be up to 4000 hour or up to 5000 hour in ECO mode -lrb- which reduce lamp brightness and fan noise since the bulb run cooler -rrb- . there be several color mode to choose from if you wish to tweak the balance depend on what you be project . overall I be very pleased with the ease of operation and quality of output provide by the Epson ex3210 multimedia projector .
587	Projector	NEG	1	I be so excited to get this projector , but I be on my second one thus far , and needless to say , I be not happy at all . the first qumus I receive work great ... for one day . after that , it do not matter what device I plug into it -lrb- blurry player , iPad , iPhone , xbox -rrb- , or in what order I plug the device in , or in what order I turn on the devices\/qumi , or which hdmi cable I use to do it -lrb- I purchase several and try they on to no avail -rrb- , I repeatedly and consistenly receive the `` no source found '' message . needless to say , I be not pleased , so I send the unit back and request a replacement from Amazon -lrb- who have be nothing but great throughout this horrific process btw -rrb- . Guess what , I receive the replacement in record time . Guess what , same hdmus handshake issue . these unit be either not build well or Vivitek 's quality control be abysmal . bad customer service as well . there be get to be something better out there . very dissapointed .
346	Projector	POS	5	I love this thing , less than a grand and the screen be massive . Picture be extremely bright and clear . I have put about 500 hour on it so far with no problem , I would definitely recommend this to anyone willing to forgo 1080p and save a few grand .
205	Projector	NEG	1	just over a year in , and of course my screen be full of dead pixel . the unit be basically unusable . DO NOT BUY . be fun while it last .
400	Projector	POS	5	I love this product . Picture look incredible . we have this set up in we basement and people can not believe how little we pay for such a nice picture .
684	Projector	NEG	1	the picture quality and quiet operaton of this projector be outstanding . the problem be the pixel have start die out now and I only have 387 hour of view time on this unit which I buy back in January , 2011 . I be go to contact Amazon and Vivitek and see if I can get it replace . I 'll let you know how I make out ... ok , so it be January 21 and still no rma number from Vivitek to return my defective unit to be repair . they have the worst customer service ever ! I explain my dilemma to Amazon and let I tell you , it be the best customer service I have ever encounter ! they understand the problem and send I a new replacement of the exact same model by next day air . and when I have to return the old one they even pay for the shipping . Amazon will definitely get my business in the future . WELL DONE AMAZON !
606	Projector	POS	5	thank you ... thank you SONY , really I could not believe my eye , it be a theater yes ... when I turn off the light the picture i have see be great . . the sharpness look like a 3d , it do not matter if you see the movie on the wall or on screen . this product be wonderfull , thanks to SONY the one and the only .
819	Projector	POS	4	if you be look for the best deal of any dlp projector out there , this be it . you wont find one at this price that perform better . it displaye SVGA video -lrb- up to 800x600 -rrb- from the pc and hdtv format 480p , 720p , 1080i .  use this for a entry level home Theater be in my opinion the best application . as for pc , the resolution be a little lack consider the size it will be project to . the icon would be 6 '' + depend on how big you shooting the screen .  bulb life in economy mode extend by about 1\/3 from 2000 hour to 3000 . nice consider the bulb be 400 each . BenQ have offer a couple different promotion in the past like free bulb or 100\/200 -lrb- ... -rrb- -lrb- so be sure and check to make sure before you buy -rrb- .  the thing that be most amazing to I be the refresh rate of 85hz -lrb- how fast it can paint the picture to the screen -rrb- . that be pretty much as fast as you 'll need for any application to avoid display problem , so play game on this isnt a problem !  for more info , check projectorcentral , they do review on everything that come out . benq pb6100 and the pb6200 -lrb- xga version -rrb- be in the top 5 list of DLP 's .  anyone plan to use this primarily on a pc , think about get the pb6200 instead , its basically the same thing but display the higher resolution xga -lrb- 1024x768 -rrb- and for certain application higher 1280x1024 .
999	Projector	NEG	2	this projector provide a good , bright , clear picture . but I have have two bulb blow out after only about 300-400 hour each . that be about $ 1 a hour ! for this reason , I would not recommend it .
665	Projector	POS	5	as amazing as this sound I assure you its true . I set the resolution on my pc as 1280x720 , the Projector seem to automatically scale that down to its own native resolution . it look almost identical to the screen I see in my local Cinema . the difference be it can not do more than 144 inch well it can but it start to get a little blurry after that . it show AMAZING at 100 inch !!!! somehow no matter how big you make the screen the quality still remain amazing . the brightness be very good also . now I be speaking of the dark . if you want to view it with light on you be gonna have to move it close to do about 23 inch screen . that be if you want a very bright screen . it can do a extremely bright 23 inch screen . but for 42 inch etc be prepare to wait till night time . however at night it show marvelous even at 100 inch . I still can not get over the quality , this thing look just like my friend 's 720p hd projector when play movie only that he one be much brighter . but I prefer a dimmer projector with a bulb you never have to replace over the brighter one that require a new bulb every year . and that the beauty of this one . you get 20,000 hour . the maximum screen size I have be able to get from it that be viewable be about 150 inch . I wait till night and shine it on my neighbor 's house . it be literally as big as a cinema screen . however the image be a little bit blurry at 150 inch . I think 150 be the absolute limit anything bigger than that will require more brightness and a overall better lens and resolution etc. . however it should be note 150 inch be MASSIVE !!!!!!!!!! Jesus its as tall as I . larger than life . in close just buy this thing and you will see for yourself . it can definitely compete with a 42 inch hdtv when play movie . its very colorful etc this thing be amazing . anyone who rate this less than 5 star who do not have a defective product be a total douche bag . because the bottom line be this thing be $ 179 . if you be expect a 1080p world class projector that can do 400 inch then I be sorry to disappoint you but you be go to be disappoint . go and spend $ 15,000 on a Sony Projector you will get the best . only negative apart from need pure darkness and pure white wall for cinema experience which be expect of any projector anyways , anyways besides that only negative be you need to move the projector far far back to get big picture . it have no manual zoom . so at 10 foot you will get about 72 inch . however you will not want to go back after you see it at 100 inch .
759	Projector	POS	5	! \* ! \* ! \* ! first off I have use other projector in the past and be well on my way to buy either dlp or plasma 52 '' tv with hdtv tuner build in ... in buisness most projector be a hassle and the quality be only good if all the light be off and even then they seem far behind the tv compatition . then in the midst of purchase a tv a guru salesman come over to I and say `` Doc , if you really want something awesome try the optoma ep739 , or its cheaper brother the optoma 719 . ! \* ! \* ! \* ! . . I find a dealer with the optoma 719 and be very impressed with its ability to be bright even with two target touch lamp on in the room . the kid be impress with the xbox 360 work with the system on display in 480 as well as 720 , I didnt see it in 1080us but hear it be a stunner . we opt to go ahead and purchase the higher end brother the Optoma ep739 through circuit city online , since most retail store bestbuy and circuit city dont cary the hi end stuff they usually just sell it through the web cause they sell ton of the cheap stuff at they store and very little use for big boy toy . ! \* ! \* ! \* ! \* ! in perpetual conclusion , after three day of anticipation we have it mount and have the av switcher hook up run 5 other device to the projector . -lrb- -rrb- ... for the xbox 360 and the hi definition dvd player we have purchase , you can connect those directly to the unit as well  and the unit will know which one be turn on immedietly , if it doesnt pick it up at first in every 10 seconds it will resync and try again , if you be impatient as I and my wife have become due to t1 internet connection , you can just use the remote and tell it which input area you want to use . and the best feature be that it will auto recognize the setting . so xbox360 auto to 720p and be unbelievable ! as for bulb life buy the longest best warranty , every 45 day ask for a new bulb if ya need it or not . they will gladly give you one and it make for good savings down the road when you be off the warranty . some other hot tip ... @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ Dont buy one with a bunch of fancy -lrb- ... -rrb- like a dvdplayer build in , cause if it go you screw . dont buy one under 2000 : 1 contrast , that as low as you ever want . and never below 2000 lumin . ... Dont buy any with autofocus , the one we have in the office have auto focus , and sure enough it go out . manual focus be fine and very easy to use . @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ buy a swiffer dust magnet pad , they be blue soft feathery fluffy thing and slip on the end of a stick most wife will know what this be , it be a dream tool to clean the outside lens , usually i dont even touch the lens , the dust particle just fly off toward the blue pad . ! \* ! \* ! \* ! \* ! as for screen yu dont have to buy one if you have 2000 lumin and a clean white wall . but if you pay 1,400 to 2,200 for a projector you might as well spend 100.00 on a descent screen . optoma once again be king in my eye and ive see alot . another good idea be the new paint you can purchase to use instead of a screen , if you be plan to go huge movie size like 20 foot or so , this be the way to do it . I would frame the paint area with crown molding and then paint the molding jet dull nonreflective black . this really help to set it apart . @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ other wonderfull secret , if you projector operate on a 802 . frequency you can purchase a television tuner box that will send it a wireless connection through you house . addlogix ma-wl-dvi EchoView Wireless Video Adapter retail 300.00 be one for example , I have not see this in action so no clue yet . here be the stats on that ... send comptuer video -lrb- up to 1024 x 768 -rrb- wirelessly to video display Works with VGA or DVI projector , CRT monitor , flat panel , or tv compatible with wireless -lrb- 802.11 b\/g -rrb- enable pc -lrb- no additional hardware require -rrb- plug-and-play installation with driver install from the product -lrb- no cd -rrb- presenter no longer need to be close to the projector -lrb- not limit by cable -rrb- access internet or local area network -lrb- lan -rrb- through on-board 10\/100 ethernet interface ... lastly , , , for now ... hd dvd player be the hot new thing , unfortunatly its harder than heck to find a dvd that hdtv quality , but trust I they look 2x as good . we get ours from NetFlix , and the upconvert on we Hd dvd player do a ok job . another unfortunate thing , those Hd dvd player usually dont come with the HDMI cable so you will have to purchase one , the cheap aluminum one be around 50.00 the 24k gold one be 150.00 dollar . but very much worth it when you get the chance to show it off . the last benefit to projector be , we take it with we on vacation as well as everytime we be in a hotel since it only weigh 5lb and come with a great carry case .
967	Projector	POS	5	review on Epson EX 7210 First Impression The box have a small footprint . it be smaller than I have expect . the cardboard box open up to a nicely protected unit . it be light weight . and it have a slide to open lens cover . there be no bulky ac power adapter ; only the power cable . there be no hdmus cabl include . most people do not use VGA now -lrb- at least for I -rrb- . There'a usb cable include but I think both the VGA cable and the usb cable be too short . source auto detection I immediately connect my tablet which have a hdmus port to the projector . it immediately find the input source and display properly without tweaking . there be no need to adjust any resolution setting because it just display the best resolution possible for any source you throw at it . powerful Remote Control The remote be not complicate and it be powerful . I walk 30 foot away and it stil detect the remote command . this be a great feature if you plan to mout this on ceiling . -lrb- unfortunately , this one do not come with any ceiling mount kit -lrb- most of they do not anyway -rrb- -rrb- usb Video Display I have yet to try the usb to display feature but since I be pretty happy with the HDMI , I do not think I will ever use the usb display option . I will not go into small detail about most basic feature we come to expect from 90 % of all of the projector on the markt . let I just highlight som of the `` surprise '' feature : 1 . close caption available-this means you can hook up a hd antenna and have this thing as a tv . I love this feature . 2 . the speaker sound be `` about the same '' compare to other projector I have try . I be hope for a better and louder sound but it be kind of disappointing . I guess most people expect high video quality from Epson but not sound quality . if Epson have work with bose , maybe together they can come up with a nice well round projector with great video and great sound so I do not have to bring a speaker box to do presentation . it be not like the current technology will not allow this to happen . 3 . the horizontal skew adjustment be just beautiful . I try adjust the projector so it be not directly face the screen . as I sit slant to the right side of the room and the projector just in front of I , the audience be look at a straight , nice rectangular screen without distortion . this skew adjustment , which be just above the lense housing unit , can be easily adjust to almost any angle . it be a great optical engineering result . I love it . this be a state of the art projector . rich vibrant color the light , color be full , vibrant , nicely balanced and saturated . the blue be mesmorize and the red be astonishing . I hook up the computer and visit many site and view many different picture , movie , slide show , YouTube , HD movie , even hook up blu-ray to play Avatar . it be gorgeous and breath taking . -lrb- mind you I be project this onto a 10 foot pull up projector screen big enough to show a nice movie for 150 people . -rrb- conclusion this be no ordinary powerpoint presentation projector for regular static picture . this be you ultra thin 60 '' lead tv replacement . -lrb- be the projection screen thinner than the LED tv ? I think so . . -rrb- use this and a nice set of thd speaker to watch Transformer III , it will be just like the theater experience if not better . -lrb- bring you pop corn machine too -rrb- the fan be very quiet , compare to other unit I have use . the 2800 luman be pure bright sunshine . it be BRIGHT . -lrb- period -rrb- . the screen adjustment be all there so it satisfy any placement position . the color be vivid , vibrant , rich and simply beautiful . so , it be time to dish out you American Express platinum card and make sure you have a nice screen to show what a nice projector you be buy . simply point this to a white wall with nail hole do not do justice to this machine . 4.5 star -lrb- point deduction on sound quality -rrb- highly reommended .

582	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector for home as a inexpensive device for the `` man cave '' . it set up in under 1 min out of the box and play my dvd 's flawlessly in high definition . my laptop display PPT presentation keep the display on the computer on for dual image to either stay at the laptop or use a remote . you will need a male to male computer monitor cable - they sell they at wally world for $ 20 or best buy for the same price if you want to keep it old school and simple . the display be crisp and clear . it have solid self adjust screw up \/ down leg that function well and a lot better than other flimsy projector 's I have look at . if you do not want to use a laptop and want to run it usb : it have a usb input for thumbdrive to play jpg , mp3 's , mpeg 's , wmv 's , avus 's . you have to create a folder on the usb and `` save as '' jpg format for a ppt slide in Powerpoint to use a stand alone thumbdrive with no computer - be sure to name the jpg slide as a , b , c , d , e instead of 1,2,3,4 when just use a thumb drive . it be easy and not a task to flip through the folder and image file create for presentation and pause they if need . you can also play a mp3 sound file during the presentation as background music if you need to . the remote for the projector be great and I do not even have to point it at the machine for it to pick up and function . I point it at the wall 15 ft away and it bounce back at the machine and work fine . the remote work great for the dvd function and it be nice to have a all in one device vs cable and separate device - external dvd player . the sound be fine , I wish it have be louder to bump it up 20 - 30 watt speaker to blast it , but it be as loud as a standard large lcd tv . that be the only draw back to it . you have the option of hook external speaker up to it if you want to . I do not need to . it be a nice device that will serve both purpose I buy it for - worth every penny spend for it . I would recommend it . if you want a more professional model , the Epson - PowerLite Presenter WXGA Projector with dvd Player be the next step up in higher resolution and price . the resolution provide in this model be more than enough to do what I want and feel satisfied for the purchase amount pay .
224	Projector	POS	4	I be read a lot of review and people have be complain about the iris isuue and short bulb life . I have have the IRIS issue as well , I think it start around 1200 hour of use . the projector would shut down after a few min . you would have to turn it back on , then after a few min it would shut right back down again . I would have to do this about 4 time before it would stay on and I could actually use it . I call Panasonic and they tell I to send it in . I would have to pay to get it fix and for shipping as well . they make it sound like they would have to keep the projector for a couple of week and I would have to pay a lot for repair because it be not under warranty . I do some research about the IRIS issue and I figue out I could just open the projector and oil it up with a q-tip . it do not take any longer than 10min to do myself . it be simple and I have not have a issue since . I can not say anything good about Panasonic customer support , it suck . the bulb be still run at 2100 + hour even though the bulb life be rate at 2000 hour . if you wa not the bulb to last then you have to follow some simple guideline . - after you turn the projector off wait until the cooldown process be complete before you turn it back on . I would always wait at least 20min before turn it back on . - be conservative with the setting . if you put everything at max the bulb will go out much faster than it should . I have be consevative with my setting and I have be happy with picture quality , color and brightness . - if it be too hot in you house do not turn the projector on . the temp be usually around 80 in my house and I have have it on for hour at a time . but if it get up in the 90 's I would not use it . that about it . I have not be happy about Panasonic customer service but I love the projector . on another note , I buy this three year ago for -lrb- ... -rrb- and it be not on sale and there be no rebate . I dont know why it be more expensive to buy now .

Make sure you have the ceiling height -lrb- ie . at least 10 foot -rrb- if you be go to use it in a conference room setting . a 8 foot ceiling will cause problem .

749	Projector	NEU	3	once install , it be quite adjustable and will do the job adequately for the price . however , get to that point can be difficult . if you be someone who insist on read the direction instead of just try combination you feel be intuitive , you be likely in for a struggle . when you open the instruction , you be go to wonder how such a seemingly simple device can possibly have so many part . the various explode view may send you reel . however if you just like to start fiddle and see what `` work , '' you might be ok . there be several logistic landmine you will have to overcome during this product 's installation , and the asian-influenced text be not go to help thing . good luck try to install the `` tube nut '' -- unless you be on a ladder such that the ceiling mount be directly at eye-level , it can not be do , and there will be a lot of grumble . also , this product may not work with certain projector that have only three thread mount hole -lrb- as oppose to four -rrb- , especially if they be close together . I get it to work on my 3-holed unit -lrb- optoma ep726 -rrb- , but the configuration I employ to get there be pretty insane . in sum : good if you want to save money ; not so good if you do not have about 3 hour and a lot of patience .

Fabulous . great piece of equipment . thanks .

I be afraid it be not work correctly at first . much cooler , much quieter , better picture = worth the price . additional note : we have become a house divide ... I like the Benq handling of motion , but my 28 year old son do not . we both agree that it be crisper , brighter and quieter than the optoma but we be go to begin look for a different projector that we both can love . resolve ! the motion problem be a result of a setting on the PS3 . for game the motion be normal but for movie it be strange ... not blurry , but odd . we change a setting on the PS3 from 24 frame to 60 hz -lrb- ? -rrb- and now everyone agree that this projector be perfect .

I have recently build a 103 '' screen in my basement and have test it use a borrow Viewsonic projector . I love the output but the idea of buy lamp in a few year be not appealing . I decide to try the Qumi because at 30000Hrs i can dedicate a projector for both movie and cable tv without worry about lamp life . I plug the Qumi into my Vizio blu-ray player and load `` Gladiator '' as my test movie . I mount the Qumi at a distance where the picture fill the 103 '' screen . I hit the light and sit down to enjoy . I be honestly surprise . the Qumi do not brighten the room as much as the viewsonic , but that be because the output be focus onto the screen . the image be crisp and focus from the get go and I do not have to tinker much with the focus wheel . I then change over to `` a bug Life '' and this be where it truly shine . the color from the animated movie be astounding . truth be , you can not just judge the output base on one movie , show etc. . try different media . if you plan on purchase this projector for home theater purpose , make sure that you have a relatively dim room . the projector will do well in a light room if you video or image be not dark . I be able to watch '' a bug life '' with full light on in my basement . not so with `` Gladiator '' . plan on use a home theater system for audio unless you plan to use headphone . for its size , i be surprised Vivitek have room for speaker . pro : can not beat 30000 hr .

714	Projector	NEU	3	it turn out to be a big , costly Mistake ! I fail to grasp that comment and review for Epson PowerLite  Home Cinema 8100 be for a newly release projector . no one have own and operate the 8100 more than 90 day when I be read the review in late November and early December 2009 ! no available information could possibly verify the publish claim Epson 's be make about the 8100 's lamp life be 4,000 hour . DAH ! a professional reviewer do briefly mention that Epson have experience early lamp blowout in the 8100 beta version and change supplier . a couple of blogger note that they have experience blow lamp with up to 400 hour on they . they be send replacement - no problem . one reviewer even have two lamp blow and be give a replacement projector . so I brush over that information as just isolate incident resolve to everyone 's satisfaction . it turn out that that brush stroke will cost I -lrb- ... -rrb- . reality strike Home suddenly and darkly when my Epson 8100 's 4,000-hour projector lamp blow . it have last less than 400 hour or just 10 % of life expectancy . what really smart -lrb- a poor choice of word consider my oversight -rrb- be my 90-day warranty be also blow -lrb- that be better -rrb- by 37 day . that 4,000-hour lamp life expectancy be not something any of we make up , it be actually publish in Epson 's 8100 user 's Guide specification on the top of page 66 and include in Epson 's sale literature . so please keep in mind that all reviewer before now have be new owner with less than 3 month experience with the 8100 . after 4 month plus I can tell you : 1 . the fan be not noticeable until the there be a quiet scene , and then you will hear the fan blow air ; and 2 . the picture be really amazing - until you lamp blow . ok , let 's go back to the beginning if you care to learn from my miscalculation -lrb- or just want to be amuse by my naivety -rrb- . we have finally decide to break open the ol' Piggy Bank and upgrade we 80 's vintage 27 '' RCA TV , Stereo and VHS\/DVD combination in the family room to a 2010 Home Theater System in the lower level play area thanks to all the kid reach double-digit . I do all the usual research like go to Big Box Electronic store and watch 60 '' flat Plasmas , lcd and projector . I listen to 5 and 7-channel surround sound receiver and speaker system . I go on-line and read professional review and blog about Home Theater system . I spend hour scour over Sony , Mitsubishi , Panasonic , Epson , InFocus , Vivitar , etc. specification , price and warranty to determine which product make the most sense for we base on budget and use . on December 10 , 2009 we order the Epson PowerLite  Home Cinema 8100 to anchor we home Theater . we add the 7-channel Yamaha RX-V565 A\/V Receiver and 8 cerwin-vega speaker -lrb- 10 ' sub , 8 '' woofer , 6 '' mids & 2.25 twit -rrb- to give great surround sound to match the picture . then we take the plunge and add a Panasonic DMP-BD60P-K Blu-Ray player as a Family Christmas present -lrb- amazingly a couple of family orient br disc end up in the kid ' stocking compliment of Santa -rrb- . the last step be to hook up we exist dvd\/vhs player , a Wii and ps2 , and we be all set up 'til the kid leave for college . the Epson 8100 be newly release in October 2009 and win out over the other projector due to its relatively low , -lrb- ... -rrb- entry cost to lcd projector technology , and its publish specification of 4,000 hour of Lamp Life - even at the brightest setting . that 4,000-hour lamp life be not something the reviewer make up either . it be actually publish in the user 's Guide specification on the top of page 66 . other manufacturer specify projector lamp to last between 1,000 and 3,000 hour and cost -lrb- ... -rrb- . Epson 's 4,000-hour lamp life and -lrb- ... -rrb- price tag be big selling point to we since we expect that we would not need a replacement for 3 or 4 year . I must admit that the 8100 provide a amazing 120 '' picture even when project on a bare wall paint flat , eggshell white . it be so good that we elect to postpone buy the -lrb- ... -rrb- fix frame screen until the fall . unfortunately the 4,000-hour projector lamp last less than 400 hour ; but greater than the 90-day warranty -lrb- it blow on day 127 -rrb- . as part of my earlier research , I read about common lamp killer like movement when warm , poor circulation , and extend ON time . since day 1 the component have be on no more than 3 hour consecutively , sit side-by-side on a 48 '' long , stable shelf with 3-4 inch of side clearance , and greater than 12 inch of rear wall clearance . the projector filter have be clean every month . the 8100 and BluRay have be plug into one point of use surge protector and the Yamaha receiver , vhs\/dvd player , Wii and ps2 have be plug into another point of use surge protector . both surge protector have be plug into a 15-amp , 120v , 2-plug wall receptacle . the receptacle be on a circuit that include a couple of 60 watt reading lamp . I decide to contact Epson 's Technical support in hope that they have insight or information about blow lamp . I really would have like to know more about lamp blowout before I shell out another -lrb- ... -rrb- on the 8100 . I ask they if they have any suggestion , remedy or rebate -lrb- hint , hint -rrb- for 8100 owner whose lamp blow with less than 10 % of 4,000 hour go . they send a very quick auto response promise `` a Epson representative will respond to you e-mail shortly . '' after 48 hour I decide to write again and express my disappointment that someone could not even bother to send I a , `` Sorry you be out of Warranty . '' auto response . so I guess as a purchaser of my first Epson product I have to warn those look into buy a Epson PowerLite  Home Cinema 8100 to discount the 4,000 hour lamp life specification in you decision-making process . I can only vouch for about 400 hour so far . I can say from experience that Technical support have a quick auto response system ; but I be still not sure there be any `` live one '' at the switch . like a Toyota owner of yesteryear , I have to assume Epson be not keep any inherent problem from the buy public . I mean they do not send I any additional information so nothing could possibly be wrong - right ? oh yeah . one more thing . you might want to hold off on buy that fix frame screen until you have purchase a back-up 8100 lamp .
381	Projector	POS	5	so far this have be a good buy . I be Mark Tucker , the assistant pastor at Old Orchard Church in St. Louis , MO. . this dp be a great find because it do exactly what we need it too . we do not need the extreme high definition image , but we want something that look good and enlarge well . it do get a bit hot after 2 hour of straight use , but I be not sure that this be a problem . the price point be excellent for we as a small church , especially since I get it as a Open Box discount . I love the option and the keystone feature .
730	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector a few month ago not know what to expect , I pay the same price as I do for my plasma tv . this thing be amazing for gaming and movie from a blu-ray player or computer . hook it up to a hd cable service be not the best . as it kinda look like a standard definition even through the hdmus cord . hook it up to a VCR or use the rca cord be not that good . the speaker in the system be only good for small room . no need really for a projector screen , it look really good even on my dirty white wall , or the blue wall in show it on . although the screen do make it easier to look at . and doesnt give you as bad of `` movie theater eye '' in a small room no need to have a heater on , as this thing pump out more heat than a space heater . no zoom option which be kinda rough to deal with . but this be the highest quality projector for the price at the time of purchase . I will update if I have any further comment on here .
405	Projector	POS	5	I be play my PS3 on a old SDTV and know I be miss out so I start search for a hdtv . after do some shopping I realize I could get a much larger hd image for my money if I get a projector . I be a little nervous because I have never see a hd projector image first hand , but after much research I pull the trigger and order the Epson 705 hd and I could not be happier . for less than $ 700 , I have a 100 inch hd image that provide a amazing experience for gaming and movie watching . while it be only 720 , many of my friend who have much more expensive hdtv have say they wish they have get a projector instead of they tv . here be the pro : - Easy set up - bright enough to enjoy on a bright day with the blind down - great picture here be some con : - it put out quite a bit of heat -lrb- but I do not notice unless I get close to it -rrb- - the black be not perfectly black Bottom line : if you have a lot of money to spend , you can find a better projector . if you be look for something affordable that you can use to play game or watch movie on , you will love this .
74	Projector	POS	5	I buy this to have a portable projector for meeting . despite the ` game ' in the name , this work perfectly for powerpoint presentation . it be simple , which mean durable . Picture be clear and relatively bright . in particular the led be unlikely to overheat and burn out ... a consistent problem for other projector when you do not have the time for proper cooldown . the 50 luman output seem awfully low in comparison to the 3000 luman value I be see on projector -- but I can not see that much difference -lrb- this be perhaps 30 % to 50 % as bright as a lamp projector , which mean you will have to do with a smaller picture , but it be the area that count , so reduction to 50 % area be reduction to 71 % diagonal -rrb- . some review mention problem with syncing to the VGA port , but I have no problem with my Acer Timeline ... it work right from the start . I be not able to get the VGA to work with my desktop , because I could not get the resolution on the card to go low enough for this projector . I suspect that be the problem in the other review where the VGA do not work .
328	Projector	POS	4	I buy the Fabio RioHD-LED-2 Mini Video Projector hope for something small and light that could do the job . I have only use the product a few time and it have work quite well . the motor run quietly and the image be sharp and vivid . I do not want to spend a lot of money on a projector , because I do not use it a lot . when I do , I want a product that do not weigh a lot and be easy to transport . the Fabio satisfy both category , light and easy to carry . when I use it for extend period -lrb- a few hour -rrb- and it still do the job , I will be even happier . so far , I have only use it for under 30 minute , each time without any problem . I can not comment on how the projector hold up when on for extend period , since I have not use it that long yet .
727	Projector	NEG	1	the picture from this projector be good for its price range , but the bulb fail after 300 hour . other reviewer have experience this , so it sound like the lamp rarely last the advertised 2000 hour . at $ 350 for a replacement lamp , it make this a poor choice for a budget projector .
868	Projector	POS	5	this be a excellent business class lcd projector that be easy to use right out of the box . the Epson be plug-and-play for pc , -lrb- mac require a driver installation -rrb- use either a VGA or usb connection . the usb cable be not include . there be also a composite video input as well . the projection be bright and clear , with vibrant color , even in partially light room , which make it ideal for business use . Powerpoint animation look good , and photographic background appear clearly define in medium light . the projector resolution be 1024x768 , which be standard resolution , and not widescreen , but since most screen roll out longer than they be wide , and many business environment be still use standard definition , this should not be a problem . the unit be reasonably light weight and compact , and have most feature that the average business user would need for presentation in the boardroom or on the road . even dvd movie be project pretty good , but not as well as presentation slide in medium to brightly light room . I would not recommend this projector for home movie view - there be better projector on the market specifically design for that . however , in it be class , I think this be a extremely well perform lcd projector .
755	Projector	POS	5	I will never buy another tv again ... I be a regular guy ... so set up be tricky . 3d viewing be impossible and frustrating at first ... but I get my friend over to help I and now im watch 3d movie on my 125 '' screen ... woot woot !! it do not come w 3d glass so we have to order 3 pair but this picture be amazing . I think I would have to buy a proj screen but it be on my white textured wall and it look awesum ... tv r for sucker !!! Projecters baby : -rrb- I tell everyone about it ... I wish I woulda get 1 sooner .
15	Projector	POS	5	this universal bracket impressed we all . we it team purchase a number of they after help to install one in we facility . it be a breeze and have every adjustment you could ask for . 6 month up in the room and absolutely no adjustment necessary . but with confidence .
312	Projector	NEG	1	I buy this item on Jan 25 2011 and start use in February . after 10 month , it start to appear strange white dot , on the project visual ... it first start with a single white dot , and quickly number of dot increase to a annoying number of 30-40 -lrb- and s still increase -rrb- . as a default reflex I contact Optoma -lrb- in the UK - as I live in London -rrb- . they simply respond they they can not help ... what a waste of money ! PS . it be good projector - when you first set up . but you can not use it with these white dot . and , as I research online , that seem like a common problem - often associate with a very expensive chip flaw ... beware !
761	Projector	POS	5	we buy this ViewSonic PJD5122 projector to replace we older projector that be maybe 5-7 year old . what a amazing difference !! the brightness and picture quality\/sharpness be outstanding . I do not think we really realize how bad the old one be get until we start use this one . anyways , the pjd5122 be very easy to set up , adjust and operate . we have only use it twice so far for company meeting , yet everything so far about it be outstanding and above we expectation . -lrb- we use it for PowerPoint presentation , Excel spreadsheet , photo and a occasional video . -rrb- we would recommend it to anyone look for a excellent projector for a great price . definitely 5\/5 star .
66	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector -lrb- pj -rrb- about a month ago . I have be shop for about 2 -3 month for a pj . my old Sanyo PJ be about 8 year old . pay $ 2000 back then for it . I consider it old technology and want something newer , but do not want to spend a whole lot of money . I be willing to spend up to $ 1000 . I be think about Optoma HD 65 -lrb- 720 -rrb- \/ hd 66 -lrb- 720 -rrb- or the Optoma hd20 -lrb- 1080 -rrb- . I read all the review and research AV forum . I read that Epson have good customer service and stand behind they product . I be not that technical and try to keep my expectation reasonable . I have PS3 \/ HD cable box \/ Wii hook up to the PJ . off course the hd \/ Blueray contents give I the best picture quality . the Wii output at standard definition be okay . I be very happy with 720p . not sure if 1080 be worth the add cost . this 720p pj be well price . the build quality be good . it be small and portable . have a variety of input . the remote be functional and it be easy to set up . if you be on the fence line , just go out and buy it . keep you expectation reasonable and you will be very happy .
576	Projector	POS	4	I be look for a clock with a easy to read display , quick set up , and battery backup . this fit all my need . the only problem I have have , so far , be after the auto setup , the clock lose 5 minute from actual time . luckily it have a manual adjust feature that take care of the problem . I would recommend it !
822	Projector	NEU	3	it be a good mount but I could not get my ceiling to hold it and the projector . maybe it be just my ignorance
970	Projector	POS	5	my family buy this projector for Christmas of 2009 and we absolutely love it ! we have all of we entertainment device hook up to it include we dvd , hd Cable television , game console , and even my wife 's HTC - EVO phone have play through it via HDMI cable ; it have become a true entertainment center . we have host BSU football party at we house -lrb- blue and Orange have never look better -rrb- , the kid love to play the Wii on the HUGE screen , and the money we have save not have to go to the theater have pay for the projector many time over . the image be good enough to watch in a daylight light room , yet really pop at night ! the contrast ratio be a little low , yet for the price of the machine it do not bother I . one downside be that although the lifespan of the bulb be rate for 4000-5000 hour , we have have two bulb so far that have not go past much more than 1000hr . though this have be disappointing , Epson have really come through on they customer service in replace the bulb , twice , at no cost to I and receive it within a week of call customer support ; great job Epson ! what persuade I to initially buy a Epson projector be the price for what you get , and the great online review . what keep I as a customer be the phenomenal customer service Epson have provide thus far . I would -lrb- and already have -rrb- recommend this projector to anyone look for one as a inexpensive yet effective way to setup a great home entertainment system .
171	Projector	POS	5	projector be small , fit in place of battery cover . be careful , projector do not fit as well as cover , so take care not to break or scratch contact when fitting it to phone . Projector fire up immediately when slide lens cover to reveal projector lens . very easy to use . focus be a slider on the side of projector . can toggle landscape\/portrait by press the phone 's camera button . image be brighter than I expect after read many other review . Easy to focus . do use up battery life pretty quickly , so if you be not use external charger , monitor you battery life closely .
706	Projector	NEG	1	this be a joke , can not believe the review , you have to be in total darkness to see ! the picture be fuzzy if it be over 3 foot wide , bad bad , bad
374	Projector	NEG	2	just be not bright enough to keep . have it in a dark room at night but movie be still too dark . bummed cause it be perfect size , functionality and simplicity for a home portable unit .
551	Projector	NEG	1	these so call portable projector be all crap . do not expect to watch movie or anything . I think this stuff should be $ 100 . it be simply a toy that make you frustrate after 3 month . if it be $ 100 , I will pay otherwise it be not worth the money . however , if you want expensive toy go ahead buy , or if you have money to waste . but , I would bet you will feel the same . it be worth $ 100 !
84	Projector	POS	4	I recently purchase the Sony vlphw30ae -lrb- vlphw30 series 3d with transmitter and 2 pair of 3d glass -rrb- . as a previous owner of a Sony vplvw60 1080p 24 frame projector I have high video standard and expectation . this be say , I be not sure what to expect give the lower price point and how a 3d optimize picture would stack up in 2d mode . I be quite impressed with the fast start up time and the very deep black level of the vlphw30ae . the manual zoom and focus take some get use to but work fine . the 3d pictue on this relatively low cost projector be quite impressive , very bright and detailed with super deep black level . 2d detail for 1080p 24 frame fall a little short compare to the vplvw60 but not by much , give the vplvw60 be twice the price and 50 % heavier I be not disappoint . the remote backlight work great , all advance function be there . still try to figure out the best cinema mode , the low lamp mode be plenty bright for my need . I rate this high , 8.5 ~ 9.0 out of 10 the Amazon service and shipping time be great , well packed and with all the accessory !
871	Projector	NEG	2	the GOOD : Portable , EASY to use . the BAD : because it be a laser projector , the image be speckled . the technology employ 3 laser that mix the color to generate many . however , you really can not get a true `` white '' color so it just look like all the color in one . my eye be very sensitive to that . it be hard for I to watch a movie\/netflix without look at the white speckled effect . I be hope it would be better .
600	Projector	POS	5	it be hard to believe that I can carry this little device around with I , which be the same size as a phone , only thicker , and spontaneously show my photo or a movie within 30 seconds . also , I be astounded by both the pricing and quality for such a deep discount off of the new price -lrb- buy it at Tiger Direct , as a refurb -rrb- . my refurb item be in brand new condition with all covering , bag and accessory that a new one would have . ca not believe all the cable that come with this to go along with all the datum port on this projector ! this be not mention in most review and I have wonder , prior to purchase , whether I would even have a iPhone cable , but it come with a Dexim connector which take the provide 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm phono plug . I can connect to my iPhone , iPad , laptop , desktop pc , and also use a internal micro sd card up to 16gb which will hold roughly a dozen full length mp4 movie . be sure to use the include converter software if you movie be larger than 720x400 . again , the condition of my refurb unit be pristine , just like buy a new one . Technically , the brightness for 20 lumen be much better than anticipate . of course , the farther you be from the surface you project on , the dimmer the image , but I be able to regularly project 50 inch diagonal image in a dark room which be fully saturate in color and with great contrast ! get a bit warm , but not hot . the provide padded zipper case allow you to safely carry in you pocket and have it with you all the time . instead of invest in a expensive screen , I buy a large , white , folding project board of foamcore material at a office supply store for around $ 15 . Works perfectly and fold up to put in you car or carry around . it be large -lrb- roughly 26x36 '' but very light -rrb- . off the cuff , you can use any light color surface , even window shades , wall , or blind in a pinch .
764	Projector	POS	4	this be a great alarm clock . Timex t740 make wake up a alot easier than you every day alarm clock . one of the great feature be a on board flash light that can come in handy during a power outage ... also soothing sound to wake up to .
803	Projector	POS	4	you receive what you pay ... no more would be nice to have a audio output to connect speaker when you watch movie from the sd memory . the subtitle most of time be not clear enough . but for you hundred buck ... its ok .
844	Projector	POS	5	we set this up in we theater room in about 5 min . extremely easy and work great with out MITS HC4000 . we do not have to use the extended piece thing : -rrb- delivery be fast ! solid piece . I would highly recommend this to anyone !
282	Projector	POS	5	this be the first projestor we have own but we be very impressed and can not imagine how the picture coutl get better .
991	Projector	POS	5	the good : simple to install amazing sound do make you feel like you be sit the the middle of the cinema the functionality have anything I want and more the downside : no sub woofer -lrb- but I already own one -rrb- a bit expensive terrible user manual
348	Projector	POS	5	I love this video projector ... for a incredible price it be turn my family room into a movie theater ! when I put CHICAGO in the dvd player and see it project by the InFocus x1 , I know I have what I would want all my life ... my own theater !! the clarity and color be absolutely amazing on my 84-inch diagonal screen .
653	Projector	POS	4	great screen ! although , I do not like the way the package tracking be address by this company . the courier use be unknown -lrb- ` pilot ' courier -rrb- . no package tracking link , contact or phone number . when I search for pilot and leave message , no one bother to respond . they do not follow note \/ request on my door -lrb- just to call my cell phone -rrb- , instead keep call at my home , obviously do not get hold of I . overall delay in delivery ... give I less time to install and test entire set up . anyway work fantastic ! smooth motor operation . have not test remote yet , but should be fine . Works great with projector optoma hd20 which I buy along with this screen . -lcb- I have issue with ONKYO S7300 7.1 channel surround sound I buy ; return it to Amazon and wait for refund on that . Separately put review on that product -rcb- the maker FAVI can do better job in communicate and track link etc. . I see that they be do better already by now add the installation guideline , picture and dimension . great product , just need to improve operation and support . - Atul Choudhary
897	Projector	NEG	1	ok , this be not a projector for a office , a classroom , and definitely not for a die-hard videophile for they home theater . the `` pt '' in the pt100 stand for playtime , remember that . but , for shear fun , you can not beat the bang for you $ $ $ fun factor you get from this projector ! I have it set up in my basement project onto a 80 '' projector screen with it connect to a old surround sound system for a very inexpensive but awesome movie theater-like experience ! it easily connect to my Wii -lrb- pretty much design for a Wii since it be not hd -rrb- with the one yellow composite video cable to my Wii and the two audio cable go to my receiver . the movie I stream through Netflix look really good and the surround sound make it all the better for the full theater experience . with all the light turn off , it look awesome ! -lrb- light , even small one , quickly degrade and washout the picture -rrb- . warning : do not bother use the projector 's internal speaker since it be horrible . also , forget about use this in a room with window , sunlight will make the picture impossible to see . for these reason , DO NOT BUY THIS PROJECTOR if you do not plan on USING IT for GAMES or MOVIES in a very dark room with external speaker ! if I have plan to use this in a room with any ambient light and without surround sound or for actually want to be able to read fine print such as use it for a computer monitor , I would have be totally unhappy . overall , buy this for family fun in you basement . this be not a replacement for you tv in you family room but it be well worth the money if use within its limitation . Update : after 9 month half the pixel die . the lamp may last but the lcd display die and you end up with a doorstop instead of a projector .
855	Projector	POS	5	preface : I have little experience with projector , this be my first one . I have little experience with 3d , this be my first device . I purchase this projector purely for gaming . pair up with a set of  NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses kit w\/starccraft ii  my current setup have the projector 10 foot away from the screen , upside down on a shelf 80 '' up the wall point at the opposite wall 10 foot away . the projector throw a 78 '' screen at that distance and each pixel come out crystal clear . I craft a screen from 2 yard of 53 '' blackout material and some 1 x 2 for a frame and hang it on the far wall for under $ 20 . to play my game I be sit behind a table 5 foot from this huge screen and it fill my vision not unlike a imax movie would . I spend the first hour with it on just wander around in Skyrim look at the most mundane thing in awe . here be a list of comment I make `` WOW '' `` Whoa '' `` oh my god '' `` that wolf chew on I look awesome ! '' `` I can see right through that skeleton '' `` I can feel the ice in this cave '' `` why would anyone play this game any other way '' `` I must not cry , it 'll short out the 3d glass '' those who be concern about the low resolution for gaming , it be not a issue for 3d mode . the way the shutter glass work , each pixel get use by you eye twice except at screen depth create a much richer screen . the lower resolution also mean that you 'll be able to crank up all of the setting in whatever game you be play with no loss of performance . with a  Gigabyte nVidia GeForce gts450 1 gb ddr3 2DVI\/Mini HDMI PCI-Express Video Card gv-n450d3-1gus  because dlp be so fast , the 3d effect have zero ghost , allow you eye to focus much better than with most of the lcd monitor I have see . use a small 3d monitor also cause something I have hear describe as `` toyification '' where the size of the figure on the screen become diminutive because of the perception of size that accompany the 3d effect . with the convergence setting the huge screen allow I to use , in Skyrim 3rd person view , my character be sit within arm reach of I and the first 10 foot of the world be in the office with I fill my view . I literally feel the ground move under I . the projector can really throw a screen on just about any reasonably flat surface and the auto keystone will give you something square . the picture , however , be not ideal due to the way it use anti-aliasing to get there . the result be muddy text and it create a candy cane effect on all vertical line . I spend a great deal of time get the projector to be at just the right height and perfectly square to the screen to make sure I do not have to use the keystone feature . benefit : 3d Vision Ready Bright beautiful image Easy setup truly epic gaming potential problem : DLP Lamp will eventually die much earlier than a monitor get just the right height and angle to the screen find little desire to interact with the real world
268	Projector	POS	4	have mine for about a month . very small and light . fit in a small bag with my ipad . Picture quality be great , especially when project onto a white -lrb- non-glossy -rrb- surface . I usually project the image on my ceiling so I can watch movie from bed . I hook up my small hamburger speaker to the speaker out port , and use the usb port on the projector to charge the speaker at the same time . although I have see review which claim that the unit support component or ypbpr video , I have never be able to get it to work with a VGA to component dongle . this lead I to believe that the unit only output RGB via the VGA dongle . I hope a future firmware update resolve this . in the meantime , you can get a cheap component to VGA box , which work , but the image be not as sharp . its a shame that the unit do not come with a hdmus port . to remedy this , I buy a hdfuryius dongle to convert HDMI signal to VGA -lrb- RGB & YPbPr -rrb- . I have be able to connect my PS3 and dvd player to the sp-h03 and the picture quality be so much better than use a VGA box . the hdfuryius also come with a GammaX adapter , which provide manual gamma control , and help bring out detail in dark area . a tip to those who plan to use a hdfury or hdfuryius with this projector -- you can use the usb port on the projector to supply the 5v 500ma require by the hdfuryius dongle . once the hdfuryius be power on this way , you can connect the GammaX dongle without need to power it . the media player software on the sp-h03 be a mixed bag . on one hand it support a lot of video and document format . however , there seem to be a 2gb file size limit lastly , this baby badly need a remote control .

989	Projector	POS	5	install be a snap ! we have a previous projector mount that be not universal , and need to replace it due to the projector die . stick this universal one in its place , and it work . come with many part for 4 different type of protector fitting either 3 or 4 screw . the color match we ceiling , so it just blend seamlessly .
517	Projector	POS	5	I receive this projector for Christmas and I be utterly blow away . the disclaimer be that I have long be a fan of projector and we have the excellent Panasonic pt-ae700u , a spectacular home projector which be incredibly well-received when it debut a few year back . that say , I do not expect anything too remarkable from something 1\/4 the price of my home projector and 1\/20th the size ... but , boy be I wrong ! a few thing about this unit : First , it be about the size of a iPhone and that include the battery . this be absolutely incredible and show it to people , they say : `` where be the rest of it ?! '' second , unlike my home theater projector , this use laser technology so it be always in perfect focus . let I repeat that : it be ALWAYS in PERFECT FOCUS . this be mind-numbingly cool and be a game-changer in and of itself ! focus be one of those thing that you fiddle with almost every time you start the projector , but here it be always perfect . amazing ! next , because of the laser , there be no bulb to burn out -- a expensive and annoying feature of traditional projector . so , in theory , this be a astounding piece of technology , but what about the image quality ? well , I be delighted to report that it be superb ! Crisp , clear , with eye-popping color and very good resolution . it also fortunately look great with video , with a rapid response that really look perfect . what be the negative ? well there be two : the first be that it be bright but could be brighter . in a dark room , it look amazing , even project to over 100 inch on the ceiling ! but if there be some ambient light , it get fade fast at larger size . that say , keep a small and concentrated image -- say 30 or 40 inch , it look pretty great and would be a much better way to show photo , video or slide than on you phone or even iPad . the second be that the resolution be really good , but not quite as sharp as a home projector . give the source material -lrb- phone and even ipad -rrb- , however , this work out well . I be think that this be the direction thing will go . with low price like these already , and with increase brightness each iteration , I be wonder when these will replace lcd and plasma tv -- I think it really be just a matter of time . for now , this be a incredible unit for anyone who need to present to small group on the go : sale folk , executive , and even teacher for smaller group . for just a few hundred dollar , you be a totally self-contained av service . this be go to make a very big splash , I think .
300	Projector	POS	5	just get this unit have be use a infocus x1 follow that up with a x2 but still miss the clarity and color I want in satellite tv viewing as well as dvd and VCR view . the optoma 719 upgrade my x2 from 800 x 600 up to a eye pop 780P\/1024 x 768 resolution that be nothing less than spectacular video viewing . I use a flat wall surface prepared and paint with `` Screen Goo '' -lrb- tm -rrb- and that be it . the room be light by one 25 watt -lrb- fridge -rrb- light bulb , provide plenty of light to still move around in a room area roughly 14 ' x 25 ' located in a basement area with window block . this be better than the movie theater . the color and clarity , resoultion of this projector with the new Texas Instruments DLP dark chip 2 be incredible for the same price as a much lesser resolution x1 or x2 from InFocus . do not get I wrong I really enjoy my x2 projector and it be great for gaming but for the serious dvd\/tv in hd viewer you can not do much better than this . contrast ration be fantastic as well as amount of lumen for the buck . the thing be so light weight that I be timid take it out of the box . this be a great bargin in a time when auto fuel be a king ' ransom .
747	Projector	POS	5	my title say it all . this projector be the only one you 'll need if you be anything like I and do not need a hdmus input to increase the quality ever so slightly . this projector be practical and affordable . the image quality be superb . I highly recommend this product to anyone shopping around for the best value on a projector .
476	Projector	POS	5	impression upon open the box , I be very impressed with the weight , size and look of this projector . it be very small , yet have a nice quality look and feel . the monster battery pack give it a heavy , but not-too-heavy feel . there be a nice selection of accessory in the box , include a ac adapter , composite video cable , VGA cable with audio plug , triple rca female to female adapter and a Apple adapter -lrb- although this may not be include normally -rrb- . I have in mind when testing that this be not a 2500 luman projector nor be it to be rate base on its comparison with one . feature the battery feature be just awesome . no regular projector can do that ! it do have a small kickstand that tilt it up slightly , but also have a mini flexible three-legged tripod to make it easy to manage steeper angle or uneven surface . -lrb- it have a universal tripod screw hole , so any tripod would do . -rrb- it have a speaker inside -lrb- 0.75 watt to be exact -rrb- . input keep in mind that the input be analog , so no input hdmus , DVI or DisplayPort without downgrade it first to analog with equipment . you device must have a analog output . out-of-the-box it can do a analog VGA jack from a computer and a plain yellow rca composite video input . many device like dvd player , comcorder and the iphone\/ipad can do analog video out today , but new device like many android smartphone and flip cam do digital only , so be careful . here be the other cable that be available :  3M Pocket Projector MP160\/MP180 Cable for iPad , iPod , iTouch  this be the ideal situation for this projector . in this scenario , it look great . it have all the brightness you need to show you family video or picture . I then try it at nighttime , but with light on . while it be not terrific , it be still viewable for picture or video , especially if I keep it within 6 foot of the wall -lrb- thereby limit the picture size -rrb- . the same go for daytime while block some ambient outside light -- it be not bad view photo and video . a high contrast powerpoint presentation , on the other hand , look good in each circumstance . testing device first I test it with my iPhone 4 . I could not quite get the connector to plug into the phone with my case on -lrb- although I can get it to work if I do not move they too much -rrb- , so I put it in my wife 's iPhone 4 . it do what Apple allow the a\/v adapter to do -- play a photo slideshow , play video , YouTube and a few other thing . next I follow 3M 's recommendation and try the  Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter -lrb- mc552zm\/b -rrb-  a few time I have to fiddle with unplug and replugg , but it do do mirroring with the ipad 2 and iPhone 4 . however , there be a strange flickering every few seconds that make it unusable with both device . I try with a composite video adapter from the ipad 2 , but it do not do mirroring with that cable . I next try my laptop with the VGA adapter . I put the computer into presentation mode and the projector take the 1280x768 resolution and it display it well . the image be stretch vertically since that be not the native resolution . I find that PowerPoint presentation , picture and video look good just like this . however , any fine text be too blurry to read . I pull the resolution to 800x600 and it look perfect ! so , that make this just like many of the under $ 500 full size projector on the market -- 800x600 natively and it adapt higher resolution down to that level . here be the resolution it can downscale itself : 1024x768 , 1280x768 , 1280x960 , 1440x900 -lrb- and 640x480 , 800x600 -rrb- plus three Mac resolution . next , I try a dvd player , which work great , since the dvd player have a composite video jack -lrb- remember , no digital input on the projector -rrb- . as for the audio , it sound like a small and tinny speaker -lrb- because it be -rrb- and sound much worse than my laptop 's speaker , but sound similar to a smartphone . just like the 32 luman brightness , this be design for a small audience of a few people , so the speaker do its job . battery i run a test and allow a iPhone to run through a slideshow of picture and video , which a small amount of time take by video with audio go through the speaker . it be able to make it for two hour , and I be very impressed . OVERALL if you get a full understanding upfront of what this can do and what it can not do , I would recommend it .
288	Projector	POS	4	package description do not specify that ipod cable be optional . and after get the item , the manual describe iPod cable be option . however , have hard time to find a `` optional '' ipod cable for this Qumi anywhere . just check all Asia sale site . all of this item come with ipod cable . too much cost saving ? advertise iPod support , but do not mention the cable be optional . and I be willing to `` add the cable to the shopping cart .

197	Projector	POS	4	pro : they really pack a lot into a little package . come with a battery that really last , I have use it for over two hour and still have charge leave over . build in speaker be good enough if you be sit close to the projector . it have four different video input , headphone output , microsd slot , media player , it be quite a capable little toy . Enough light to be fine in a dark room . emit no mechanical sound -lrb- unless you put you ear to it -rrb- . respectable contrast ratio -lrb- 1000:1 -rrb- accord to TI 's website . it be a marked improvement from the 350:1 projector I have be use for my home theater for year . con : at the farthest distance , the optics be not good enough to keep the whole picture in perfect focus , you can choose either the left side or right side to be in focus , although if you be sit far enough back you do not really notice , it be only when you walk up to the screen and see the individual pixel that you notice one side be blurry . Wish there be color correction build into the software , mine emit too much red . that be not a problem if you video source have color correction , but if it do not -lrb- my apple tv -rrb- you be just gonna have to deal . convert media to play off the sd card be annoy before I get the setting right , there be nothing in the manual . it like mpeg-4 , with a mp4 file suffix -lrb- not m4v -rrb- a h264 video encoding , aac audio and a resolution 854 x 480 or lower . conclusion : if you want something to enjoy standard def movie or a presentation in a dark room this be for you . if you want something that can be see in daylight or hd , or bigger than 60 '' screen keep look .
731	Projector	NEG	1	this projector do not work properly and the vendor do not respond to inquiry . the product do not come with complete warranty information or address for service . there be no contact information for the manufacturer . you be better off with a name brand and\/or local vendor .
955	Projector	POS	4	I have have this for over two month now . the picture be a little lighter than I would like during the day -lrb- we have big window in the house -rrb- , but in the evening it look spectacular . we just project onto a white wall and it feel like we be in a movie theater . the volume be adequate for we living room , but it could have be a little louder . I also like that you can just insert a dvd and it power on by itself . this have make watch movie much more enjoyable , and it look better than the more expensive tv of friend that I have see because the picture be larger . I would give it 5 star if this be the whole story . the other day , it start make a beeping noise . another reviewer complain about this . it beep incessantly , like one beep every three seconds , and it be loud enough that it effect the audio . right now other people be in my living room watch a movie that I want to watch that I absolutely can not watch because the beeping be on my nerve . I be try to watch it on instant view on Netflix via the computer . I have do this before without a problem . one of the reason for get this projector be that we could hook the laptop up to it and project . it be work great for picture thus far . but it be beep the other day with the laptop , and it be beep today . so far , I have not notice beep with a regular dvd , but it do beep when a camera be hook up to it . this absolutely should not happen to technology this sophisticated . it sound very similar to the beeping that happen when the power be turn off and on . what a terrible idea to begin with . why create a machine that can beep at all in the first place ? it beep once it be turn on . it be not do it as some kind of warning , or because it be too hot . it have rest for over 24 hour . it be do it because there be a flaw in the machine itself . I be go to find my warranty and either get this replace , fix or return . it be really a shame because it be a cost-effective and nice machine otherwise . why give thing the capacity to beep that do not need to beep ? update : the next time I use it with the computer , it do not beep at first , but I have to stop it for something , and then it start beep again . I let it rest for about five day before watch another film via Netflix , and even some youtube astronomy video -lrb- which look beautiful by the way -rrb- and I do not have any beeping problem . I hope the beeping disappear , and I will call customer service if happen again . overall , I love the thing , assume that the beeping problem can be take care of . second update : still beep over a month later . consistently . I be extremely disappointed . final UPDATE : thanks to a great two year warranty , I be able to get the problem fix . they replace the light , and it seem to be work fine . they say that this problem be a rarity .
367	Projector	NEG	1	I love this alarm . the wake up be soft and gentle . I use the attach flash light a couple of time when the electricity fail . then , it just stop work . too late to return . I now have a flashlight that cost close to $ 40 .

55	Projector	NEU	3	I buy my x2 in June of 2004 . it have a good picture , and I like the projector for ease of use . however , after 1.5 year , and 700 hour , the bulb blow . I be disappointed , but figure the bulb blow less than half its estimate life be just bad luck . I pay $ 300 and get a new bulb . it just blow on I after less than 500 hour . for the price they charge , they need to stand behind they bulb ! a 90 warranty ? be you kid I !? if they can not give they customer more than 90 day on a $ 300 bulb , they should lose they customer . I will never buy Infocus again ! oh , and in case anyone be wonder , I never move my projector around or miss treat it . I also always let the fan run for hour after I use the projector to make sure the bulb be cool completely .
772	Projector	POS	5	OMG !!!! that be all I can say ! this be the best projector I have ever use ! I be a teacher and where I teach , they use the Epilson . it be a great projector but very pricely . I have read all of the other review because I be skepitical about buy a product without ue a demonstration . this projector be not only affordable but be great ! I laugh at the comment that say if you do not like high quality brightness -lrb- or something like that -rrb- this be not for you . well he be right ! this projector be so bright and colorful that you can watch it with the light on . it just need minor adjustment . I be soooooo glad I do not purchase a flat screen television or a big screen television . it be such a waste of money . I still have mine from 10 year ago that still work great . I do not use it now . I connect the Vivitek to my cable wire and watch cable tv , it be connect to my dvd player for movie , and I highly recommend it for the new Xbox kinect usage !!! awesome !!!!!!!!! the only problem be ... it get hot and the fan can be loud for a short period of time . if you have the stereo surround system , then do not worry , the volume will override the noise . that be it !!! buy it and enjoy it !
744	Projector	POS	4	I actually have work with EPSON unit with similar specification to the vs315w with regard to input and output , and find this a very comfortable personal fit . if I be to gauge the market for this I would push it toward people who be not early adopter and probably be use 3 or 4 year old computer , dvd player -lrb- heck , even VHS player -rrb- , and do not depend upon high quality sound . people with older equipment -lrb- I -rrb- will like this projector most . VGA video input and display be excellent . rca cable audio\/video input be excellent video , audio not so awesome . usb audio\/video input work , but be overall inferior . hdmus input ? not a issue for I . if you need it , do not get this box . the sound quality through the projector be mediocre which should not be a surprise for any projector of this class . the video be not for cinephile , but if you do not push the projection distance or the room lighting , the video quality can be excellent . set up for optimal distance and lighting be something that be almost only resolve in the specific environment where the equipment be use . my requirement be old school - primarily be able to use VGA to VGA for video input , or to use rca cable for audio\/video input -lrb- primarily video -rrb- . about the only time I would use the build in sound be when I be test something , or in a emergency when I do not have time to set up as I wish . the vs315w 's speaker be serviceable , but in the same way that a lot of laptop and tablet speaker be serviceable . best use in intimate setting , you will hear the sound , you will not be impress . even though it be market for its portability and easy set up and play , this be not my first choice as a stand alone . my one test with the usb input be quite unimpressive . the driver install on laptop easily , and it hook up easily . static video display -lrb- slide -rrb- be fine , but motion can be `` iffy . '' sound be actually similar to the other hookup , but with such crummy video I be not sure that matter . I also set up this unit in these two way : 1 -rrb- hook up video with VGA to VGA cable to 4 year old Dell Inspiron laptop . screen be about 20 foot from projector in a `` medium '' light room . for sound in this scenario I just run a small sound out patch cable from the Inspiron into a separate boombox and use that for my portable speaker . I have find very few projector have any decent sound . you would be surprised how use a portable sound system with nice speaker can enhance the video experience . anyway , follow by a little tweaking use the vs315w 's pretty standard menu system , and rely on the excellent automatic anti-keystoning feature -lrb- plus I love the manual keystone control button located conveniently on top of unit -rrb- I have a excellent 1280 x 800 wxga image project in a couple of minute . I run some dvd video through my pc and notice some jaggedness and some color problem - the fancier the video -lrb- e.g. , Transformers -rrb- the worse the performance . animated film come across beautifully , but they do have simpler color pallet and less demand on motion . the one powerpoint presentation I use have no true video , but quite a few animation which display to perfection . 2 -rrb- hook up video and audio with rca cable from my $ 20 Memorex dvd player . Video and sound be almost exactly as above . again , I prefer external speaker so I detach the white\/red rca sound connection and run the dvd player 's sound through my boombox again . obviously , none of this be the portability be market -lrb- carry around a dvd player or laptop , with extra boombox and this projector -rrb- . I give this four out of five star because it do what it say it do it within the publish specification . one star be knock off because the one fairly unique feature , the usb plug and play , do not seem to be ready for prime time yet . I 'll personally be use this primarily for in-office presentation in the configuration describe above .
70	Projector	POS	4	this projector be definitely the one you want if you be look for one that be affordable , light and convenient . I be a teacher and I love this because it be so easy to set up and use and the display be clear and just like that of those other big and bulky projector . I can actually carry this one in my bag without any hassle . it be compact , and do not need to rear up , do not overheat ... I just can not say enough . . I love it ! I love it ! I love it ! the only reason why I give it 4 star be because of the tripod stand ... due to the imbalance weight , set off by the cord on one side . . the tripod keep fall . so I simply just do not use it and prop it up on book instead . my son first birthday be come up and I intend to use it to project picture at he party . it be so small and light weight ... they would not even know it be there . -lrb- smiley face -rrb- do I say I love this projector !!! well I do ! definitely a good buy for half the price !!
203	Projector	NEU	3	if you want a great mount that CAN get that IMAGE ZERO 'D in and hold it be position , THIS be NOT the product . for the money , it be fine . you just have to work at it get that IMAGE SET ON SCREEN WITHOUT USING `` KEYSTONE '' CORRECTION . the BIGGEST ISSUE be `` HOLDING '' it be position . require ` SLIGHT ' RE-POSITIONING EVERY FEW day . no BIG DEAL when you consider it be ` very ' INEXPENSIVE .

433	Projector	NEG	2	I buy this model 4 year ago for my computer lab . from the very start I have trouble . the project image flicker and jump . I call right away and they replace my lamp for free . for the next 2 year it work sporadically . it would not come on the first time I turn it on , sometimes I have to unplug it . I call several time and be give the run around . finally a notice to extend my warrenty come . I extend it and call again . I be tell it be certainly because the lamp be get near the end of it be 1000-2000 hour -lrb- big difference , eh ? -rrb- . I explain there be no way it have be use for that many hour , and the tech support guy argue with I . I give up argue and try one of the thing he say -lrb- take out the lamp and remove the dust -rrb- . after that , it work consistantly . -lrb- when I could finally get it to work , I check the lamp hour ... it have run for 238 , no where near 1000 -rrb- . I think I be home free . I use it today and it be on for about a hour plus . I be away from it work on a computer when I hear a loud bang . I look up and the screen be blank . the darn lamp explode !

I start with a sharp office projector and upgrade to my previous setup which be a XGA Epson Powerlite 130c because my other one just didnt have enough lumen . my old Epson powerlite be almost as bright as this one , but it be great because it be 2200 lumen and i could watch it in the daytime . well I buy this one for the same reason pro : it do exactly what its suppose to , which be to deliver my high def gaming and stream Hulu and Blu ray from my Girlfriends laptop . I pair mine up with a 11 ' 16:9 matte Da-Lite projector screen and it look gorgeous all day all night . I really like how much you can zoom you picture size so i can watch all aspect ratio without move it from its ceiling mount that i buy from amazon for 30 buck . I do not know what the guy on the bottom of the screen be talk about because I love how detailed and lush everything look even with all my light on and window open in the middle of the day . I would recommend this projector to anyone especially for people who be tire of watch they projector in a cave . these day I need the best of both world for high contrast Cinema and high brightness gaming and this unit deliver . con : i notice a slight `` screen door '' affect but every pixel be fill with color and light so I cant complain compare to the other projector i send back .
770	Projector	POS	5	when I first get this product , I think it be not work , because I have not adjust the lens . of course I feel like a idiot when I do , but I also feel like I be on top of the world when I do , too . the clarity of this projector be second to none . if it be hd ready , you can plug up to it which be the simplest way . I hook up my Mac Mini and my Sony to it , and after a little over a month of usage , I still can not believe how vibrant the picture be . plus , in the simplest form of the concept of a projector , you do not need to lug around a T.V. All you need be a wall . bulb life I have not see yet , but it seem to be pretty nice , because it 'll sleep itself the same time you computer sleep itself with no screensaver and I can leave it on over a two day weekend and have no problem with it . like it , love it , want some more of it . on the other side of thing , I have now become addict to hi-def , so if it be not hi-def , it 'll show on this projector all the little detail and pixellation , but that be completely the fault of the quality of video or medium be show . however , if it be hd , get ready for a wild ride ! Ideal for anyone start up or want a home theater . Optoma , you have certainly win I over . buy it !!!

I have run this projector for hour on end since i recieve it and it have not shut off or overheate . hand down the best investment i have make in a long time , with the flexibility of increase the image size base on the space you have and the image quality , you cant go wrong . why pigeon whole yourself to a fix size of a lead or lcd flatscreen , for the price of a decent 32-42in flat screen you can have this amazing projector that will have you , you family , and you friend beg for another movie or game to be play . absolutley incredible for the price !

567	Projector	POS	5	Yamaha be a great company when it come to sound . I have 2 very fussy music teacher in we family , my son and wife . surround sound with many box may be overkill . I think it be false to have something go bump on one side and instead of the sound be beside the screen ... it be unrealistically beside you arm . the Yamaha have a method of study you room for reflective surface , and you actually must leave the room for it to do so . I have the subwoofer behind the tv with the omni-directional bass sound . we be happy and that be incredible for these sharp musician . look no further ... lot of box be just awkward , false impression and a mess to place they . this be light , thin and blend with the tv styling and coloring . no need to improve this model in the near future , either .
679	Projector	POS	5	excellent hardware . allow for easy removal without unscrew it from the ceiling . work great for the Epson 8350 ! buy this mount without hesitation . very rigid and high quality !
856	Projector	POS	4	I open the box and hook it up to my macbook pro . it be a very good , clear picture and will work fantastic for presentation . no brain need to get it work
797	Projector	NEG	1	try to use this projector this week to put a slideshow onto a wall at a trade show . turn off all spot light in the stand and the hall be not very brightly light ; even so , most of the slide be not readable as the projector be just too weak of a output . not suitable for this application . it might work in a totally dark room but be not usable when there be even a small amount of ambient light .
738	Projector	NEU	3	the miniaturization of technology be amazing . with ipod and cell phone and netbook I have always have way to show neat stuff , but generally one at a time . nobody like to squint over a tiny screen or deal with view angle . something small and battery power that I can just stow in my bag and project on any wall would be pretty great . unfortunately , this just do that and do not quite seem to be as magical as the pr make it out to be . as far as control and circuit logic go , it be pretty plain . just a stand-by screen wait for input , volume up and down , mute , battery check , and off . no color adjustment . no 16:9 \/ 4:3 toggle . no high-power mode when plug through ac . I know it be small , but even a simple color adjustment could maximize the range of non-ideal surface you can confidently project onto . the image itself be fair quality ... even though this 2010 model have double the brightness of the earlier 3M model , you still really can not consider use this in a light room . that `` whether you be in a cafe . . or conference room '' really be a bit of a stretch since the cafe be not go to let you turn out the light . one real annoying bit about the display be the rainbow effect that drive I crazy from early dlp television . newer revision be fast enough to minimize it , but the red\/green\/blue flicker be quite obvious with this . I would say that rule out most movement-heavy video source , relegate it to the world of Powerpoints and camera shot . for those thing it should do fine : the standby screen give a nice big `` 3M '' logo in the center and you could use that for a focus reference . as the machine stay on and heat up , though , it seem to lose focus a bit and it then become a little more difficult to readjust because the focus dial be now hot . last part about the image quality : you should know it be a 800x600 display , so , even though you could , in theory , hook up a 1080i or 1280x960 wxga source , it be all gonna get scale down to 800x600 anyway . ye shall find no forgiveness for small font . Audio be another let down . the volume adjust only have 4 level so there be not too much control over it . and even at it be highest it barely exceed the noise of the cooling fan . while it be nice it have a headphone port for more substantial audio setup , I would not see why you would route it through the projector unless you be force to -lrb- by use hdmus or a dedicated ipod cable -rrb- . now the stuff that do not matter quite so much . it come with a lot of goody . it come with a flex minus tripod with a standard mount post , which mean not only can you mount the projector on any standard tripod , you can also put anything on this mini-tripod . it also have a fold-down kickstand to raise it , so , it seem like a duplicated accessory . you get ton of plug adapter which be nice , a composite cable with gender adapter for each cable , and a VGA cable with audio tail . the connection be flexible but I much would have rather have real port on the side . there be room enough for composite , component , hdmus , and a 1:1 ipod cable . it would not be neat and it would be scatter all around each edge , but at least I would not have to carry a additional bushel of cable for device I might want to plug in . round up the accessory be a little carry case that fit it just perfectly . unfortunately , with the extra stuff you 'll have to carry around , the utility of a carry case that just fit the projector be a bit silly . I would have be fine with just a snug little lens cap . I think they include all this stuff because after be a little disappointed with what you get you might not want to throw more money at it for adapter and cable . look , I understand it be a pocket projector , but really I do not think the technology be there yet . seem the biggest limit factor of the technology be the battery with a leisurely 2800 mAh . if it simply have more juice then they can crank up the brightness , color cycling frequency -lrb- less rainbow -rrb- , and audio . it take 3 hour to charge but last only 2 while operational . all this put together a ho-hum product that will put off my fantasy of a impromptu drive-in movie date on the side of a tractor trailer in a parking lot for perhaps another 5 year .
884	Projector	POS	5	this be my first projector . all I can say be wow . I use this projector for everything . it be my computer monitor and my tv . I go from a 28 '' lcd computer monitor that I be happy with to this projector which I be thrill with . there be nothing like play a game and fight a 6 ' troll that be actually 6 ' on the screen ! my big concern with buy a projector be clarity and screen refresh rate . dvd , blu-ray , Netflix all show clear and beautiful . fp and online rpg like WOW and eq2 be all clear and smooth . there be no bluring , artifact , or lag from this projector . the bad ... black level . they be not terrible but at some time the dark or black area be a little wash out . this be in a totally dark room . it be also be project on super-white photo paper -lrb- diy screen -rrb- . for the lower cost of this projector and the longer bulb life I can easily live with this . also , text be sometimes a little blury . not a lot , just a tiny pinch . but it may not be the projector . clean the lens with proper lens cleaner clear some of it and I may need to look into a new screen or tighten my current one -lrb- it seem to be a bit difficult to get the DIY paper screen perfectly sag and wrinkle free -rrb- over all I love this projector . UPDATE : after 1044 hour on the bulb -lrb- 9 month -rrb- it go dim for a day then go out with a pop . Epson be easy to contact . I send they a email . the next day they send I a email ask specific question , one of which be my address . two day later I have a new bulb . Free of hastle , Free of charge .
710	Projector	NEU	3	I have own this projector for about 2 year now and I keep it in the family room where it be use daily . like other have post , it be a excellent projector ... until that noise kick in . we be decide whether or not to pay $ 350 for it to be fix by we local service dealer or to buy a new hdtv . I would say , if you buy a Infocus projector , get the x2 since this be not manufacture anymore . that say , image quality be quite good , especially hd . for computer , it only go up to 1024x768 . when it be work , it `` wow '' would anyone who see it and be a awesome addition to the home theater .
473	Projector	POS	5	first , for home theater use , I would give this projector 4 star . I give it 5 as this be a business projector , and should not be penalize for not have home theater feature . I be very happy with this item . out of the box , the color be a mess . this , again , may be because it be not calibrate as a home theater projector . I highly suggest use the Avia video calibration dvd -lrb- with color filter to look through -rrb- . it take I 5 minute , and the color be more natural than any of my CRT tv ! in high power mode , I can watch tv show during the day with my blind close . movie be a bit hard to watch . once the sun be no longer on that side of my house , it work great . at night , I can watch a movie in low power mode -lrb- and the fan be very quiet -rrb- , but I prefer the regular mode as color look more vibrant with that extra boost . I sit with my head about 12 inch from the projector , so I can hear the fan , but it be not noticeable with sound system speaker at a decent volume . as state in a prior review , the image be 4:3 . if you do not have a 4:3 screen , 4:3 image wont fit . not the projector 's fault . my biggest concern be the connection , which again be due to this not actually be a home theater projector . for the best image , you need to use a component connection . as state in a prior review , a adapter must be purchase separately to connect component through the VGA port . this be not specify on the spec sheet where I buy this item , and the box itself have no info about the spec . one other thing to note ... I have read that the color wheel on business projector be different than on home theater projector . I be not familiar enough with this to comment , but this be something prospective buyer may want to look into . overall , I be very happy with this item . 5\/5 as a overall product , 4\/5 as a home theater projector .
314	Projector	NEU	3	I purchase this unit with the intention of diplay Karaoke word on a screen at my karaoke show . the unit seem to work fine but the display be very small compare to other projector . it seem like you have to put this unit about 10-12 foot away just so you can get to a normal project size screen . I be return the unit because I will not always have that much space to use it in .
699	Projector	NEG	2	I purchase this mount for my epson 8350 despite conflict review if it would fit . I find a YouTube video describe how to add in extra hardware to make it work for my model . while the mount do in fact support the projector it be not strong enough to hold the projector level . I find that every couple day the projector image would drift a few inch down toward the left . after continually straighten the projector and re-tightening I notice that the cheap quality metal be actually bend the projector mount . for a smaller projector this mount just might do the trick but for the Epson 8350 or any projector of similar size I would invest in a higher quality mount . I switch mine out for a chief mount and be amaze in the difference in quality and design . while I do recommend chief as a alternative I would not have be willing to pay up for the chief brand have I not spend 10 hour mount and re - adjust my projector with this mount .
898	Projector	POS	5	do not get I wrong , there be room for improvement but for the price tag this little projector deliver . let 's start with the sound , I agree this projector do not have audio out , but this be not a issue with I , when use hdmus with my laptop because you can use smart audio software to disable the projector audio and send the sound straight to you laptop speaker or external speaker plug in to you laptop . I have Windows 7 and use a p500 Toshiba satellite laptop . I be able to connect this use a hdmus cable to both my DIRECTV HD receiver and laptop w\/hd and get 1080i picture with a 100 + '' 16:9 widescreen within approximately a 15 to 17 foot distance . if you can afford something more expensive I would say go for it , if you be look for true 720p or 1080p hd . however if you be on a tight budget this little projector be great and the picture do not disappoint even for hd . I be so happy I settle for this and do not spend so much more to get a hd -lrb- label -rrb- projector . this be very portable and I be use a regular camera tripod as a stand , and the whole experience be just awesome .
211	Projector	NEG	1	this projector lack many feature include a\/v mute . it use a propritary video cable that have break on my unit twice . have to order replacement cable from Infocus store at a premium price . lamp life be really bad . have two bulb explode -lrb- yes explode and smoke -rrb- in the unit . now I be have trouble get another replacement lamp . if I want a new lamp I have to send it back to Infocus to get a power supply upgrade . this thing be a hunk of junk - nothing good to say about it . I will never buy a Infocus product again !
435	Projector	POS	5	this product be a tremendous value and have deliver all that be promise . auto lens shift feature be a real plus and setup and adjustment be very intuitive . Ultra short throw be a main concern and I have zoom-to-spare throw a image from 10.5 foot onto a 92 inch diagonal screen . in dakened theater , the low lamp setting -lrb- with est lamp life of 4,000 hour -rrb- be exceptional and with a cinema color setting , video be warm , rich , smooth and black be outstanding . I spend 6 month look for this and be very pleased with this unit . I would highly recommend it .
943	Projector	POS	5	we be in need of a computer projector for meeting and do not want to spend $ $ $ for a new one . this InFocus projector be the perfect answer . it arrive quickly , work right out of the box and have already perform well at several meeting !
604	Projector	POS	5	ive own this projector for over a year now and I love it . the picture be fantastic and color be perfect . this be the second projector ive own and the best by far . I be concern about the picture clarity compare to the dlp projector I previously own . soon after install it I be blow away by the picture quality of this projector . the only thing I would change be to make a few hundred more lumen of brightness . but that can be make up with a more reflective screen . the picture show up excellent in the dark , and good in afternoon light with the right screen . I use it as a main tv and have it mount on the celing in my livingroom . with curtain that filter light a little the projector be up to the task for anything . I know two other people who buy one because they love mine so much . none of we have ever have a problem whatsoever with the projector . one even have over 3500 hour on he original bulb ! with hdmus , componnent , s video and composite input this projector have the ability to connect to anything . overall this projector be a excellent value !
858	Projector	NEG	1	we buy this projector about a year ago and love it for the first 11 month . then one day , we try to turn it on and it would not work . curious . we pull out the manual , which display a series of troubleshoot step . when we turn on the power , the blue power lead light blink 8 time , indicate that there be a dmd error . turn out that stand for `` Digital Micromirror Device . '' we do not really know what that mean , so we call customer service . the customer service representative be very friendly , and he walk we through the troubleshoot step . he confirm that it be a dmd error , which be cover under warranty . we ask he if it could be a lamp issue -lrb- which be not cover under the year-long warranty -rrb- , to which he reply that it be `` unlikely . '' we pay the $ 20 to send we projector to the warranty department . after about a week , we get a response that it be a lamp issue , and it would cost $ 250 for they to fix it and send it back . if we do not want they to fix it , we would still have to pay $ 75 for a `` out of warranty diagnosis , '' plus shipping -lrb- ~ $ 25 -rrb- . so we would either pay $ 250 for a work projector that be still within the first year of purchase , or $ 100 just to get we broken projector back . I call customer service and explain the situation , tell they that we do everything we could to confirm that it be NOT a lamp issue prior to send in the projector . there be serious fan issue and the power button be not work properly , which I assume be symptom of the DMD error . the folk at customer service be not very sympathetic . they do not have any more information about the error , they would not let I talk to a technician , and they do not have any documentation about these type of error . I still have no idea what a dmd error mean . the user manual say that if it be a lamp issue , the orange lamp light should blink , which do not happen for we . we have the projector mount to a ceiling where it never move , receive plenty of air flow , and be only use for a total of less than 400 hour -- not the 3,000 hour that they claim the lamp should last . after read some of the review , we find out that we be not the only one who get screw by the Vivitek warranty department . the language in the warranty and the product manual itself be mislead . in the meantime , Vivitek be hold we projector hostage . I have hear that Amazon be great about return faulty product , but we be not so bright and we send the projector to Vivitek instead . EDIT : about four month later , after we have completely give up on the Vivitek projector and buy a new projector from another company , we mysteriously receive a package in the mail from Vivitek . Lo and behold , it be we old projector -- and it be fix ! there be absolutely no explanation about what have be wrong with the projector , and why they have suddenly decide to send we back we projector that they previously claim be not cover under warranty . Wish they could admit to they mistake and\/or tell we what be go on . vivitek suck at customer service and communication .
185	Projector	POS	5	cant beat the price . nice smooth surface . no wrinkle . pull up and down nice and smoothly . I be just amaze I get a screen so large for $ 110 deliver . I be tempt to get another and put it away in case I need another later . look well make . nice and solid . when you pull down screen , it lock into position with very little effort .
815	Projector	NEU	3	not good for ANYTHING BUSINESS RELATED : + this be not good for anything business related . in a business setting , meeting , seminar , etc. . this do not have the power to project in a light room . no one will be able to see the screen . + you audience will also not be able hear the sound . + this be not good for a booth at a conference\/seminar either . again the lighting will make it nearly impossible to see and the picture quality be not crisp and typically wash out . you be much better off get a lcd\/led tv and set it up in you booth . this will not work . + if you be at you desk at work , run it off you computer . + if you be in a conference room , run it off a laptop or proper projector . PRACTICAL use for the projector -lrb- only good if the setting be PITCH DARK -rrb- : + if you be in a public space w\/o electricity in the evening and it be quiet as a mouse outside , you could probably use this item . + I can not think of any advantage of use this projector as oppose to hook up you phone to a monitor or a real project . before purchase this product , I read the review of the other mini-projector list on Amazon . at the time of this review , there be not a single one with a 4 or 5 star avg . they all have either 3 or 3.5 star , and a price range from $ 100-350 . for the most part the the review for all of they read the same , so I opt with the cheapest model know it be a early 1st generation technology that would be quickly improve upon in the next year or so . I buy it with low expectation , and my expectation be more than meet , as a result i return it . in short the critical review of this projector be accurate . 1 . brightness : w\/10 lumen you can not expect much . -lrb- a typical average projector sport 3000 + lumen - so that give you a idea of what you be deal with -rrb- . in a darkened room , the picture borderline acceptable . imagine if you have a old tube tv and the picture be start to fade out . that be the output . the `` always in focus '' lens be a little bit of a stretch . even after i increase the brightness level to the max , nearly impossible to see . 2 . cord : it include all chord necessary to run the projector from you phone -lrb- minus a apple chord if you be use a apple product -rrb- 3 . sound : you can not expect miracle from a piece of technology this size . it be exactly what you would expect , like a tinny transistor radio with very low volume . 4 . SDHC card slot : it provide a standard size Camera Card slot . play a slide show of pic , you set the transition , etc from the projector . I drop a video clip on my card , and the projector be not able to read it . I be not sure if that have to do with the video format\/or the operating software . 5 . functionality : Easy to use overall .
195	Projector	POS	5	I know , it be expensive -lrb- read the other review -rrb- . I think the same thing . but you do check the bulb price before you buy the projector , right ? right ? anyway , because of my previous experience with a Acer projector , I expect this bulb to last in the area of 750 hour -lrb- it be advertise at 2000 -rrb- . to my pleasant surprise , my first bulb go to 2970 before die . just make sure , when you replace the bulb , that you carefully clear out any dust from the inside of the case ; if you screen be flash green , you color wheel be probably gummed up . it take I forever to figure that out . anyhow , you choice be between this bulb at about $ 250 for 2000 + hour , or some other crappy bulb for $ 180 at -lrb- 1000 hour . you do the math .
914	Projector	POS	5	I order this projector base upon the very positive review . I be tire of use the traditional computer projector with it be video connector and the associate fuss with the f9 key to get the right output to the projector . this projector connect via the usb port . the projector 's software be self-contained on the unit . installation on my Mac laptop be almost instantaneous . the laptop 's desktop appear almost immediately . installation on my Windows laptop be as simple and almost as quick . the projector also permit multiple source connection , and the remote allow the operator to toggle between the video source . I receive notice of shipment on Sunday , and it arrive on Tuesday . that be incredible service .
608	Projector	NEG	1	yes , it be wonderfully small , lightweight , portable , and easy to operate . but what you get from this projector be a image that even in a dark room on a projector screen at a mere 30 '' diagonal have illegible word and color that be a miserable reflection of what you be try to project . -lrb- yes , I use the focus dial to try and sharpen the image . -rrb- if you be project in black-and-white or do not care about color , if you be show a presentation that have all 36-point font , or if you absolutely need to carry something in you pocket at all time in case you need to project a image , this be you baby . otherwise I suggest get creative , use something else , or skip the visual . my expectation may have be unrealistic . Make sure yours be not .
975	Projector	NEG	1	up \/ down mechanism break after 90 day . favus will not return my call even though it fall under warranty . incredibly disappoint in the company and the product . the lack of ANY customer service be appalling . they do not even bother with a automated service . when you call the help number , it ring and go to VOICEMAIL ... as if it be a personal cell phone ... be there a `` no star '' button ???

I have a imac run a 10.6.8 os x and a Macbook pro 10.6 os x. so the projector do all that it be suppose to do once you get past the software installation process . it would have get 5 star without that fiasco .

I more often deal with recording and sound reinforcement product - the former usually involve small monitor and the latter use large scale multiple speaker array and so I tend to lean toward the larger box sound , but this system amaze I . I also sell a large amount of Yamaha pro equipment , include they amplifier as well as guitar and electronic keyboard . they product be always among the best and the most reliable . while I agree placement be important -lrb- it be in all system , do not let the industry hype fool you -rrb- I find it work well in a variety of placement position as long as you run the auto setup and then tweak to you liking . please understand that I be a `` early-senior '' with a moderate amount of hearing loss from the aging process , and more importantly from a number of year in work in high sound pressure environment for extended period of time -lrb- in the sound room and on stage -rrb- . I no longer consider myself a critical listener -lrb- I do not listen to `` the sound '' anymore - I listen to the content -rrb- so what I hear may not apply to you need , but I believe this product to be a exceptional value sound bar .

I leave my screen pull down 99 % of the time , so I can not comment on the durability of the roll-up mechanism , but it appear robust . you can not lose with this screen , highly recommend .
291	Projector	POS	4	anyone look for a small portable projector should look no further . it be hard to believe that such a small package could deliver such powerful visual . my band stillsuit need something small and light weight to take on tour , and this be the best option hand down . we use video during we performance and need something that could fit into a variety of tight space depend where we be play . it be somewhat limit in connection -lrb- no DVI , no rca audio connector , no component video -rrb- but have just about eveythe you need . although a digital connection -lrb- dvi -rrb- be miss the most . I do not honestly think this unit be capable of true hd -lrb- in 720p at least -rrb- via the vga\/rgb connection . I have a hdtv , and while this projector 's picture look good , it can not touch the clarity of a lcd . but that be not the point . a tight little dlp unit like this would be a good choice for anyone who need projection on the go -lrb- presenter , DJ 's , etc. -rrb- or have limit space to make a home theater .

Camping , road trip , or a big move . all three be impend for my family , and I will take this with we to help entertain not only the kid , but the adult as well . battery life be also excellent . I be really digging this little product . we be a homeschooling family , and I be try to think of way to use this projector with the kid 's curriculum -lrb- variety keep life interesting -rrb- .

734	Projector	POS	4	I be hesitant to buy this item because of reviewer receive defective clock , but I take a chance and have not have any problem -lrb- yet -- it be be a month and a half -rrb- .

I would have like more\/better choice for wake-up sound , but I like three out of the four -lrb- ocean , brook , meditation , and wind chime -rrb- . I do not fall asleep to the sound , but for some it would make more sense to fall asleep to one and wake to another which be not a option here . I do not use the built-in flashlight or time projection on the wall\/ceiling , but there be there if you want they . I think Timex try to add too many whistle and bell -lrb- e.g. , if you want a flashlight by you bed , you already have one , do not you ? it be interesting that you can have the flashlight turn on automatically when there be a power outage , but : a -rrb- why would you ? , and b -rrb- they sell full-sized flashlight that plug into outlet and do the same thing . the clock automatically set the time : nice , but not necessary . -rrb- and the add complexity for a low price may be cause problem with some clock . also , I think more attention should have be pay to what I think be the main feature : the soothing sound and fall asleep\/waking up to they . overall , I have not have any technical problem with my clock or the alarm -lrb- s -rrb- and I like it . I wake to pleasant sound ; I can set my workday and weekend alarm and not touch the clock until a holiday\/vacation come up ; and I do not worry about a power outage turn off my alarm clock .

867	Projector	POS	5	I take some time before I zero on this product . this be a excellent projector . some of the key feature which I like be - a. -rrb- Dolby Sound System -- fantastic sound b. -rrb- in-built dvd Player -- save you money on dvd Player , extra wire arrangement . c. -rrb- very silent operation -- no issue till date or any interference while watch movie . simply love this product .
302	Projector	POS	5	I have own several projector , first be a Sony , then a optoma , after a Yamaha -lrb- expensive compare to this one , more than double -rrb- and now the Panasonic . this projector take I by surprise . I be expect something good , compare to my previous Yamaha projector , but not as good as the picture I be see with the Panasonic . contrast be very good , and picture quality awesome . no screen door effect noticeable . people be make comment about the setup , in my case the setup be straight forward . to get the right focus make sure to use the remote control instead of the button on the unit .
118	Projector	POS	4	after my son -lrb- accidentally -rrb- break 2 50 '' plasma tv 's I start seriously look into projection as a alternative to those easily breakable screen . because of the loss I take on those 2 tv 's I be not willing to spend a great deal of money so I be cautiously optimistic when I come across this projector . we have have it about a month now and I have to say that I be surprisingly please with it . the picture quality be really good , even during the middle of the day . I would say it rival my previous plasma tv 's . it only have 1 hdmus output so we buy a `` switch '' to accommodate the cable and the blu ray . the sound be fine when we be just watch regular tv but when we be watch a movie on the blu ray the volume get really low for some reason so we be look into a sound system to take care of that . we have the WII hook up to it as well and again , the volume be low , but the kid can play WII and have fun and I do not have to worry about any remote fly thru the screen . for any family with small child I would definitely recommend look into projection as a alternative to tip toe around a flat screen tv and this be a great budget friendly projector to consider !
24	Projector	POS	5	I be a little skeptical of 5 star review , but this mount most certainly deserve that ! I recently purchase a Planar Pd7060 , and be in need of a mount with good adjustment , due to my low drop ceiling in my theater\/basement . -lrb- the Planar do not have a lens shift ... -rrb- as mention in earlier review , the instruction be lack , but the build quality of this thing more than make up for the shortfall of the literature . I have to make a brace behind the ceiling tile outof 2x 's and that probably take longer to do than install the projector . I be very pleased with all the tilt , yaw , forward , back , and side to side adjustment that can be make . it be very easy to square the projector to the wall or screen you be project on ... it have a variety of bolt include for mount you projector , I do not need to go to Lowe 's or hd to pick up any thing ... my Planar have three mount point , and the mount have 2 set of 3 adjustable arm , that I be sure will work with almost any projector . W there be set screw in every adjustable pivot point to lock you setting in place . this thing will not move ! pricepoint and versatility be top notch !
489	Projector	POS	5	I be surprize that it be new at that cost because walmart want 70.00 for just 10 ft. . it work great with a perfect picture and sound . also I read coment first and that make I choose this one .
642	Projector	POS	4	my old home theater room have my Projector on the table , very low class , now I this mount and my home theater be SWEET ! very professional look . my wife really like it .
588	Projector	POS	5	I have have this projector for almost a month now , and it have work perfectly for I the whole time . it be a little bit fuzzy when project off of my computer use the standard VGA connection , but when I be watch video from my computer or gaming system it look perfect . I have be project straight onto my green wall , and with the wall color adjustment it look great . I would definitely recommend this projector , and I think that you would be crazy to get a projector for 3 time the price that be only a little higher quality .
601	Projector	POS	5	I review many different projector before finally purchase this one . I have it project on a flat , white wall from about 15 ' away and the seating be also about 15 ' away . the high definition be outstanding on this projector . I also have a 52 '' Sony Bravia 1080p lead and this be definitely comparable to that which be amazing consider it be much , much bigger . the menu option do not need much tweaking despite what you may read in some people 's review . I increase my contrast to 61 and I decrease my brightness to 48 during the day and move it down to 40 at night . if you be look at buy this model I would strongly advise do so . only downside be that the zoom be very limited and there be no lens shift capability so if you be work with a small area you might want a projector with lens shift and zoom but if not then this model be definitely worth the money ! I have have friend over to see it and no one can believe that it only cost $ 630 . the PS3 look outstanding on this as well . I can not comment on the 3d capability as the converter box be sell out at the moment and do not get to test that out but if it be as good of quality as the rest of the projector then I be not worried one bit .
657	Projector	POS	5	I select this projector base on discussion with my two child , both of whom have projector . I be most concerned about the ability to project through ambient light as this be cite as the most annoying problem they have experience . my projector be situate about 25 foot from the screen and light stream into the room through two french door and two sky light . the BenQ W6000 easily handle this and project a highly watchable 12 ft picture . of course during the evening with the light turn down the picture rival and in many case be better than what you will find in you average neighborhood theater . its get just about every connector port imaginable include VGA , 2xHDMI , RCA Video , Component and S-Video . this projector may be more expensive than a lot of the projector available but it be well worth the extra price . I pay about $ 300 more from Amazon than it be now be offer for and I feel it be a bargain at that price . now it be even more affordable .
199	Projector	POS	5	let 's get the obvious stuff out of the way : this be not a 1080p , ultra high end projector and after purchase it and set it up , I realize that it do not need to be . I have a studio apartment with these light beige\/eggshell color wall -lrb- not the prettiest color , I can assure you -rrb- . I have want a projector in my room\/living area since I be a teenager . I always think it would be cool to have my own large screen media display that be all mine . well , fast-forward about 20 year and I decide that I have wait long enough so I buy the Epson for a pretty decent price -lrb- positive # 1 ... I be a student so I live on a budget ! LOL ! -rrb- I do not watch network television hardly so a tuner be not necessary . instead , I use it for media view and gaming . my setup consist of : -lrb- 1 -rrb- Epson EX5200 Digital Projector -lrb- 2 -rrb- xbox 360 elite console w \/ kinect -lrb- use the HDMI port and the audio adapter for left and right analog output -rrb- -lrb- 3 -rrb- hdmus 1.3 cable , double shield with gold terminal end from specialty electronics shop in town - 25ft length -lrb- 4 -rrb- monster audio shield , gold terminal rca patch cable - again , 25ft length -lrb- 5 -rrb- Logitech z-623 2.1 Speaker system -lrb- pair 4 '' separate with tweeter and single 8 '' sub - 200w\/400w max -rrb- -lrb- 6 -rrb- - occasionally - personal build htpc with Lite-On Blu-Ray drive , 3.2 Ghz dual core cpu , 4 gb ram , Windows 7 Ult . use the HDMI cable I have run video signal to the projector , the image on my wall -lrb- no sheet-no screen -rrb- be phenomenally sharp and the color be well balanced consider this projector 's price point -lrb- which it will do 720p and a pretty good 1080p compress with only minor screen-dooring when closer than 6 foot -rrb- . it take I a moment to get it just sharp enough with the manual zoom and focus ring . I test it at various position with image size up to 120 inch , but settle on 88 inch base on room in my studio apartment . the setting be amazingly simple to adjust and the result be great . I use several media form for adjust it to my taste and comfort : serenity -lrb- blu-ray -rrb- , Tron Legacy -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , Sucker Punch -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , Star Wars -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , James Bond 007\/Quantum of Solace -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , -lrb- 5 -rrb- Halo Legends -lrb- dvd -rrb- , Appleseed ex Machina -lrb- dvd -rrb- , let the Right one in -lrb- dvd -rrb- , Halo Reach -lrb- Xbox game -rrb- , mass effect 3 -lrb- xbox game -rrb- , Forza Motorsport 4 -lrb- xbox game -rrb- , Earth 1080p -lrb- youtube clip -rrb- , top Gear UK episode -lrb- internet -rrb- I have the contrast increase in Theater mode to about 16 and in a ambiently light room , I still have quality discernment of light and dark . in a dark room , it be theater quality and my friend enjoy it when they come over . I be beyond pleased with this projector and even more so with the setup that have it work as well as it do . I encourage anyone to purchase the ex5200 if you want good quality video on a budget .
702	Projector	NEU	3	grant we do not buy this as a ` travel ' projector , we still buy it to use as a projector , and it be convenient enough in case we do ever want to travel with it . unfortunately , we be not even able to get 6 month out of it before the pixel start die . one day we turn it on and notice one pixel be dead , the next day a few more be dead , the next day ton more be dead . so there go the projector . what a waste . and we buy it new from Ebay , so unfortunately no return or warranty . there be some good thing about it ... it be small , so you can travel with it no problem . the screen be large enough and good quality . but that be about where it end ... but for the price , you expect what you be get . so do not expect anything fantabulous . the bad thing about it , obviously once it start go downhill , it go fast . to get the best picture quality , you will need to be in the dark . and it be kinda annoying have to run speaker to the thing . anyways . it be not horrible ... just wish it would have last longer . but because it start die , it cause we to invest in another projector that we like much better . so I guess it be a good thing .
998	Projector	NEG	2	I be displeased with this unit . at about 15 foot the word be not very clear . I use it for presentation of financial statement and display we online client portal . people be unable to read what be on the screen .

329	Projector	POS	5	this projector rock , the color and picture be excellent ... plus they give you a extra bulb , and bulb be only 30 buck ... great product very happy
242	Projector	POS	4	after round one of tweak the 1080p picture be top notch ! im still quite shocked how far projector technology have come . the picture be so compelling you 'll think you be watch a hdtv . that be until you realize you be screen be 8ft across or more ! I have only be use this projector for exactly one week , and it be my first , and I be very impressed ! the `` out of the box '' picture be pretty good but fortunately im not one of those plug & play kind of people . I actually use the `` menu '' button ! UPDATE : 10-22-11 I have put in just over 470hr on the 8100 and I notice a unusaul problem I can not defeat ! there be a bluish band across the `` top '' -lrb- it be upside down -rrb- of the screen and red across the `` bottom '' . it be only noticeable when watch bright scene and in 16x9 but it seem to be grow towards the center of the screen . appearently this be common with past Epson projector . the cost to fix this will cost as much as buy another projector and that be ecactly what im go to do . buy from another company that be ! iv ' e get my eye on a optoma 3d projector . we 'll see ! I might give Epson another chance . Minus one star for this problem ...
756	Projector	POS	5	screen be big and very quality , easy and quick to set up , bright and clear picture . Tripod go pretty high ! very satisfy . awesome item for a good price .
156	Projector	POS	5	I be look for a projector to show Harry Potter for my son birthday and to watch movie outdoors this summer and my brother , who also own this model , say to try this one out because he love it . well he be right . the picture in a dark room be incredible . we have show it on the wall and on the EPSON DUET projector screen -lrb- which be pretty cool too -rrb- . we have watch the final four -lrb- from a dish network receiver -rrb- , Shrek 4 -lrb- from a Samsung Blue Ray Player -rrb- , Legends of the Guardian -lrb- from the PS3 -rrb- , and Tron -lrb- from a dish network receiver -rrb- . the color be all incredible and the black level be great . the only minor issue I have be that the projector would not find my Samsung Blue Ray player with a 25 ft hdmus cable , but it would with a 10 ft cable . not a projector issue I be sure as the 25 ft cable work with the projector and the PS3 . in a well light room the projector look okay -lrb- obviously not as good as when the room be dark -rrb- . with a little light filter into the room , the projector still look really good . I also adjust setting accord to one of the other review and it seem to make the picture even better than it look out of the box -lrb- which be still really good -rrb- . if you need a great little projector at a great little price , go for it .
534	Projector	POS	5	this little projector be perfect for someone look to have a home theater on a budget . I admit , I be not expect too much out of this thing when I order it . after all , you get what you pay for , right ? in this case , you get a whole lot more ! the picture be great , to begin with . out of the box , I adjust the manual focus -lrb- yes , manual -rrb- and tweak the picture setting with the include remote . within five minute , I have a phenomenal 120 '' image -lrb- just on a white wall , too . I 'll edit this soon , once I get my `` real screen '' -rrb- . whether its dvd or Bluray , Xbox 360 , wii or ps2 -lrb- no PS3 -rrb- , the picture be well above what I ever expect . for $ 250 , this little projector be a steal ! pro : + great picture + Easy to set up and adjust + a lot quieter than I expect + never heat up , no matter how long its on con : - build in speaker sound terrible -lrb- but who care ? you do not buy a projector for speaker ! -rrb- - no way to adjust setting without the remote . OVERALL : buy this projector . you will not regret it !!
965	Projector	POS	5	after do research for a screen this one be better than expect !!! great deal for the dollar amount I highly recommend !
664	Projector	POS	4	this package have it all and it be a great system for beginner . I have a small living room and I do not want to move furniture around or clear a wall . you do not need to rearrange a thing when use this system . just pull up the screen , plug in you projector and subwoofer and you be ready to go . the 80 inch screen be a great addition in this package . when you be do , you can hide the screen under a bed and hide the projector away in a closet . there be some negative as it be not hddvd compatible , and it do not accept component input . but most people will simply use it to watch regular dvd or hook up one 's own video game system . it be a all-in-one system that be inexpensive and a great introduction to home theater .
335	Projector	POS	5	after day of totally obsessive research about projector -lrb- 3d , 3d glass , 2d to 3d conversion , full 3d as oppose to `` 3d ready '' and on and on -rrb- , I finally make a somewhat inform decision and order the Optoma gt750e . I have nothing to compare it to , as this be my first projector , but I could not be happier !! my new toy do everything it promise and we have watch several 3d and 2d movie in the comfort of we home - it have even make a 3d fan of my unimpressible husband . the picture be fabulous in a darkened room and good in ambient light . the build in speaker be good enough to enjoy anything you want to watch but HDMI surround sound be better , of course . 3d sound be through the hdmus output so sound be not send to the RCA out or the headphone out when play 3d or convert 2d to 3d . we have use both a Panasonic dmp-bdt210 integrated-wi-fus 3d blu-ray dvd Player and a Sony 3d blu-ray player hook directly to the projector via a hdmus cable . the gt750 recognize the Panasonic immediately but take longer to find the Sony 's input . the picture be great with both player . we have use a king size sheet , a blank wall and now a elite 135 '' screen - the screen give you a fabulous picture but the wall be waaaaay better because you can make the picture so big !! all in all , the gt750 be a delightful toy and I would do it again ! here be what you 'll need if you want to take advantage of the gt750 's 3d capacity -lrb- all be available on Amazon -rrb- - a hdmus 3d capable cable UltraClear HD DLP Link compatible 3d glass - most comfortable for I - work beautifully and best picture overall or optoma bg-zd101 dlp link 3d glass - be a bit heavy but have a great picture - some flash in bright scene or Optoma Technology bg-3drfglass 3d rf rechargeable glass -lrb- radio frequency NOT IR glass -rrb- work with the emitter include with the projector - picture be good and glass be comfortable but the picture be better with dlp glass - you can use all three kind of glass at the same time . also , I find out the hard way , 3d glass can not be find at local retailer . I should have order a extra pair -lrb- or two -rrb- . I also purchase a Panasonic dmp-bdt210 integrated-wi-fus 3d blu-ray dvd Player which play 3d and convert 2d to 3d -lrb- after I follow the advice in the follow quote -rrb- . it also stream Netflix , you Tube and all they friend and you can -lrb- slowly -rrb- search the internet . it be fabulous ! for the Panasonic 2d to 3d conversion fix `` turn on you blu ray player and navigate to setup , next go to player setting , then push tv \/ Device connection . go to 3d setting and go to 3d type , click this and change it to side by side , as this tv support neither full hd -lrb- for 2d-3d conversion -rrb- . once you have change it to side by side , the problem be fix . now insert a non 3d movie and push the 3d button and go to 2d to 3d conversion . you tv will sense 3d content and ask you if you want to switch , you will only have a few seconds to push yes so be ready or it will revert to 2d .

432	Projector	POS	4	I buy this item for my husband . he really like it . he be amaze at how big and clear the picture be . the only complaint he have be that the usb port do not work on this device . besides that , everything else be good .
807	Projector	POS	5	I use this to install a hc1500 mit . projector and I could not be happier with the product . it be very heavy duty , and have many adjustment . I can not think of a way it could be better .
713	Projector	NEG	1	install the bulb and when I turn on the video I be disappointed beam illuminate very little , I do not recommend this bulb , never ever buy .
264	Projector	POS	4	do not pay attention to the review suggest that the bulb be a hassle . this be a good product , and I think I know what happen with he . the first bulb probably have a problem , and that be why Toshiba replace it at no cost . but if he install the next bulb incorrectly , the lifespan be shorten exponentially , so be sure to do it right . and as for the price of the bulb , they be expensive , but he be exaggerate just a bit . I just buy one on the internet a week ago for $ 260 -lrb- tax free -rrb- and it be already here . as for I , I use my projector extensively , probably 5-7 hour a day . it last about a year and a half for I , which be more than I think it would . all in all , this be much better than a big screen t.v. , and cheaper ... good buy .
742	Projector	POS	5	I cant believe the picture quality of this projector be so niceee I purchase a favus 120 '' screen and now I play game and watch bluray movie and the quality , color be simply awesome cant beat this projector for the price for 600 $ i highly recommend this for hd movie and PS3 , xbox360 or pc gaming order the Nvidia 3d Vision and will write about the 3d review in shortly I also order the 3d gamer so will be use 3d Games with PS3 Cant get a better deal for the price Sandeep
350	Projector	NEG	1	I would have give 3.5-4 star for picture quality . I still run my 14 year old sonyg90 CRT Projector through a Faroudja processor and nothing I have see since can beat it . not even close . biggest problem I have with the picture really be poor reproduction of black which to I separate the great and the good . the one star come from build quality and customer service . I always believe the true test of a company be how they back a product . well two lamp go down , the original in just about 100 hour . arghh !! it be like buy a Gillette razor on sale know they will get you for 10 year on the blade . I purchase the product with a extend 1 year warranty and when the third lamp do not work I realize I have a problem with the projector . Panasonic refuse to honor the extended warranty and although I write they detailed description of the problem customer service basically send I a form letter deny the second year . I give up and toss it in the garbage . many people seem to have post similar comment about the Panasonic PTAX200U in regard to product build issue and customer service . my advice ... . LISTEN !!!
456	Projector	POS	5	product be very affordable & be a superb choice for the price . the image be a bit pixelated , but it be a excellent medium for play game & watch movie . the machine be fairly quiet & the picture be still usable even when the ambient light be a bit high . I be very happy with my purchase
924	Projector	POS	5	the UNIT go WELL beyond MY EXPECTATIONS . picture quality be great , ease of USE , WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND .
792	Projector	POS	5	I have never write a Amazon review before , but I have learn a lot about projector over the past couple week , and think I should share . as price have be come down , I finally decide to get a projector . 720p be plenty good for I . after read plenty of review here and the various projector website out there I narrow my search down to the Optoma hd66 and the Epson 705HD , both go for + \/ - $ 650 at the time of this writing , and both highly rate . a bit about I - I be not a projector or electronics nut , but I do appreciate know that I have the best -lrb- or better -rrb- of what be out there when I do buy thing of significant $ $ $ . male , early 30 's . do not watch any tv , just the occasional movie at home . after much fuss , I decide to order the Epson . it seem to have more feature , have longer bulb life , and in the end I figure since I be no projector connoisseur I would be more than impressed with its performance . however , I be not blow away enough , so I order the Optoma . I be keep the Optoma , and return the Epson . I test both use a connection to my old Mac Powerbook g4 laptop , project onto a white wall paint matte white . here be what I learn : Epson 705HD : - lcd technology really do display `` little pixel '' that be visible if you be up close . not really a big deal with a movie where thing be move all the time . - significantly brighter than the Optoma . - better design box , integrate lense `` cap '' that slide , easier to use adjustable leg , more friendly packaging\/manuel , carry case . basically you get the feeling that Epson put some think into its product . feel more name brand and consumer friendly . - supposedly have ~ 1000 bulb hour more than the Optoma when in Eco mode -lrb- a touch less bright than normal mode -rrb- . - have a speaker -lrb- I do not use it -rrb- . - definitely better for office or daytime use . - Blacks appear gray when compare to adjacent wall . - compare to the Epson , have a larger `` screen size '' to `` distance from wall '' ratio -lrb- I think this be call `` throw '' -rrb- . plenty big . in fact I have to `` zoom out '' as the screen actually feel too large for the distance I be from the screen . the projector be prop up on a table immediately behind my couch . once adjust it be fine . the large size could be great for the gamer out there though . optoma hd66 : - feel more `` make in China '' with less fancy sticker and design . - not quite as bright as the Epson . - I have yet to try this one during full daylight , but guess the Epson would be better here . but this be fine with I b\/c I figure if it be bright outside , I should probably be there instead of inside . - much better color . - throw ratio not as good as Epson , but more than adequate for my need . - dlp really do have much better black . the `` black frame '' around the movie be a far cry from gray , and I have a feeling if I fool around with it , I can probably get it to almost disappear . - better picture quality - this be apparent to I and all 4 of my non-professional projector testing friend , and more apparent the darker the room be . the Epson be great , but the Optoma be like `` Whoa - I would not think I would be able to tell , but I can . '' - harder -lrb- though still possible -rrb- to discern the `` pixel '' - feel more like film . - I be worry about the `` rainbow effect '' . my friend and I be all able to see RGB shadow if we shake we head back and forth wildly , and maybe a flash of it once or twice during the movie when we eye would flick across the screen . not really a big deal , though I guess some people be more `` susceptible '' to see it than other . both : - easily find my computer and display the correct resolution automatically . - amazing resolution . - plenty of adjustment to mess with color and whatnot . I only fool around with these for 5 minute or so . you can easily make the color warmer or cooler . - have a small remote with plenty of function . battery include . - do not come with hdmus , DVI , VGA cable . however , each do come with cable that allow you plug the traditional dvd player -lrb- the yellow , red , white `` rca ? '' -rrb- cable into the VGA port . like I say in the end I be stick with the Optoma hd66 . since the reason to get a projector , for I , be to have a really great screen to watch movie on , I figure I should lean toward picture quality over feature . if I watch tv for a lot of the day , the brightness and bulb life of the Epson may have sway I in that direction . I hope this be helpful and save you all some time .
931	Projector	NEG	2	so , I do a ton of research before make this purchase , and I be still blind-sided by poor design choice across the board on the pk301 . First of all , I be mac base , so in order to convert my video file -lrb- why do this not offer the ability to play back more codec ? -rrb- I have to load up handbrake . after several hour of completely waste time convert video to the claim acceptable codec and fail to have any of they work on the projector , I sit down and begin to search for a answer online -lrb- the proper info on how to handle the video file convert for mac user be not include in the manuel -rrb- I manage to figure out the very strict guideline for the file conversion process . I begin convert a few video to test the projector and put they on a 4gig microsd card . the first video I transfer be a 22 minute tv show . the file size come to be around 540mb . it do not work . I spend another half day struggle with this until I try change the file 's extension from . m4v to . mp4 . miraculously , once I do that , it play fine . would have be good to know this a day earlier . seriously ? seriously ? ok . so after all that , I finally have the proper -lrb- and somewhat tedious -rrb- direction on how to get these file prep to work on this thing . boy , let I tell you , you better not be the spontaneous type , because the the time it take to prep a video file for this thing be enough to kill the spirit of any group hope to watch a video outside on the fly . second major problem be the battery life . now , EVERY single write up I find online mention some fabled `` extended 5 hour battery '' for this thing . where ? where be it ? I 'll pay for it ! I have the money . 200 dollar ? fine ! fine ! where the hell be it ?! it do not exist . that be all there be to it . it be not real . do not buy this thing because of that `` 5 hour battery '' you have read about on every single tech blog that mention this projector , because it do NOT EXIST . so , as a alternative , there be third party adapter that do not come package with the proper cable to be use with the pk301 , so who need that ? yet another ridiculous brick wall separate I from really enjoy this projector . sure , you can find a extra batter -lrb- the exact same one that come with the projector -rrb- for 30 buck ... but where the hell be the 5 hour ? where ? where be IT?@!!!@!!!!! the next problem be the internal firmware . come on guy . Update please . and post the update on you website and make it easy to find and implement on both MAC and PC . this be just ridiculous . if one of my movie file be bigger than 2gigs it will not show up as a valid file ? be you serious ? why ? so I have to go through the messy process of trial and error in order to break my movie file up into multiple smaller file on order to use they on this projector ? this be absolutely unnecessary ! get in there and overhaul the firmware of this thing and update it ! make it better ! add more codec ! allow for the recognition of larger file ! release the extended battery ! what the hell be the matter with this company ? it could be so easy to dominate the pico projector market with these simple product adjustment and additional support . the other problem here be the provide cable . if you want to use you iphone or ipad , you 'll need to dig around and figure out what sort of adapter and nonsense you 'll need . I have not bother yet , but I be sure it will probably set I back another couple of hundred buck and about 4 daisy chained cable before I have thing set up . from what I have read online you 'll get you Iphone or Ipad connect , but the slightest movement could result in the cable lose they connection . you 'll have to jiggle they in order to get it back up . wonderful . why not one cable ? directly from the Iphone\/Ipad , right into the projector via usb or mini hdmus ? do this exist ? well , if it do , I be sorry I do not spend the better part of my week painstakingly search the deepest part of the internet in order to find it . I guess it be my fault . I 'll get right on that . let I free up my schedule for the rest of the month so I can devote every wake moment to comb the endless span of the internet in order to find this nonexistent direct connection ipad\/iphone adapter and `` 5 hour '' extend battery . to be completely honest , I would not be this upset if this product be not so so close to be incredible . I have thousand of movie and tv show save as AVI , DIVX , etc. . I be ready and willing to spend more money on a -lrb- good -rrb- extend battery . I would spend money on a simple Iphone \/ Ipad adapter . come ON .
468	Projector	POS	5	Easy to install : I use two white metal chain link -lrb- about 1 1\/2 '' long heavy link -rrb- on each side , pass through the mount hole . then I use two white ceiling hook , place at the proper diatance , one for each side . I buy they at Lowe 's and they be specially easy to use , as you do not have to drill any hole or look for stud , just screw they into the ceiling plaster and they anchor themselves and support up to 60 lb each . next I hang the two chain link to the hook on each side and the work be do -rrb- . it take I several hour to think about this way of do it , but only 10 minute to install it . the screen be great and function well . I have and Epson 8500 UB and it be picture perfect .
971	Projector	NEG	2	it begin show a huge black spot in the middle of the screen ! it work for a couple week at least .
495	Projector	POS	5	I be look for a inexpensive projector for we church to use on movie night and 2500 luman seem enough to do the job . be a teacher I have use many projector in school as well as at conference some cost many time what I pay for this unit . when this one come in I plug it into my netbook and be amaze at the picture it have . it be not only very bright but the color be amazing . metallic color like silver and gold in the video I watch seem to shine out from the screen like sunlight hit real silver . further the sharpness and clearity of detail on hd video be better than any projector I have ever see when project 12 ' wide . the unit need no install software or anything to start it and the netbook sink up plug and play and they start on they own just by plug it in . I do later install they driver for the projector to try it at higher resolution . I run it for 6 hour straight with no issue to test it as I have read review that suggest it cut out on people and lose signal after a time . I have no idea what problem they be have it work flawlessly connect to my netbook . in short you could not find a better projector that be easier to set up and use for any price !
463	Projector	POS	5	I have to admit , that this be not the easiest equipment to put together , but that be mainly because it have to be versitile . all projector mount situation be not the same , so I can understand why the manufacturer do not supply specific instruction . if you be handy , or have someone around that be , I would highly suggest this . if you have trouble with assemble Ikea furniture , I would look elsewhere . in my situation , I have a drop ceiling with you typical cross beam above . this work out great , and I have be able to cut a 2 '' hole in the ceiling tile , and adjust the mount 's extention arm to the perfect height . this way I be not worry about duck under a projector constantly . White be a good match , as it would be for most ceiling . overall construction be sturdy , and not much movement once everything be tighten down . I would have a set of hex wrench ready , because although they provide you with one , it be necissary to have one on each side when really tighen . about 30-40 minute assembly time .
621	Projector	POS	5	this be a impulse buy . my wife 's birthday be draw near and I know she would love a projector to watch movie together but I be not ready to invest more than 500 $ on something that we will not be use daily . I be very pleased with the purchase . pro 1 . less than 500 $ 2 . work for home movie ! 3 . bright at 2500 Lumens 4 . value for money if you use it for occasional view con : 1 . no hdmus input : - -lrb- 2 . low resolution i.e. no hi-def
110	Projector	NEG	2	product quality be not what I need . the term hd be mislead . resolution be as advertise but be very grainy look . I recommend better resolution than this the picture be not clear .
154	Projector	POS	5	just purchese the epson digital projector for we business . we love it . it be so easy to hook up , virtually nothing to it . buy at comp usa . probably could have save a few penny elsewhere but be quite pleased with we purchase .
93	Projector	POS	5	we buy this projector for presentation at we gym and find it very easy to use with great picture quality . would highly recommend !!
357	Projector	POS	5	I be in the tech field and I have be wait for the pico projector to come down in price . I just never expect one of this quality and feature set to sell for under $ 300.00 . I have look at the 3M one and some of the other but none come close to this 20 lumen switch blade of a Pico projector . I get mine about 3 week ago and I have be use it constantly . everyone who see 's it be like `` I be so get one of these '' . I like the fact that it come bundle with the cable require to connect you laptop . with other unit this be extra as well as a case . I purchase the IPOD connector kit so I could hook up my Iphone . it look awesome with video come from my Iphone . please note that the extra battery in the Ipod\/Iphone connector kit be for the pk101\/102 projector and will not fit in the pk201 . so bascially I 'll ebay that battery . the Arcsoft media software I be not so happy about . I try convert a video to the pk201 profile setting in Arcsoft only to have it not work on the unit . if I convert the same file utilize Arcsoft 's pk101 profile -lrb- lower video bit rate -rrb- then the file will play on the pk201 . I have a support case open with they about but its really a Arcsoft issue . I have work around that anyway by utilz other software to do the job . long story short be that I have do a lot of research regard the Pico Projectors , this be by far the best due to its brightness , input capability , resolution , and ability to play content on its own -lrb- build in media player -rrb- . those be some of the most important thing to I when I be look for a Pico Projector . do I also mention it utilize Micro sd so I you can have up to 16gb of storage . it be great just take this unit out without have to hookup any wire and play a movie or project a powerpoint . I have never write a review before and I hope this help you in select a Pico Proejctor . Cheers
50	Projector	NEU	3	if you buy this to simply display from you pc as a general projector then everything 's all well and good , it will connect VGA - -rrb- VGA no problem . however if like I you buy this for its ability to connect as it say to Wii , Playstation and XBOX then you may hit a bit of a snag . the Wii be fine , since it run from composite cable , the standard be there . I can not speak for the XBOX as I do not have one however I be plan on use this both for work and for hook up my PS3 . I feel it be somewhat my fault for not read in to this more and visit specialist site but I go mostly on the page blurb . it state that it be compatible up to 1080p , even if it be not native -lrb- should have be my first hint -rrb- , and couple that with it say it be good for playstion make I instantly think `` oh it must mean ps3 '' after all what console would even need it to go that high if not PS3 and 360 ? I also see that you can get HDMI -lrb- PS3 connection -rrb- to VGA -lrb- projector connection -rrb- cable and the one I view on Amazon state : `` this hdmus to VGA hd15 -lrb- male -rrb- connect you hdmi-equipped device , hdtv -lrb- not from COMPUTER or laptop -rrb- to you monitor . the hdmi-equipped device include high-definition dvd player , hdtv receiver , projector , a\/v receiver , Playstation system . the cable support high-definition resolution up to 1080p '' excellent I think , I just need to plug the hdmus into my PS3 and the VGA into the projector , it support up to 1080p and I 'll just use my optical out into my speaker system for the sound , fantastic . no. . turn out after read the review panning the cable that HDMI from the PS3 be digital and VGA be a analog signal , mean that it can not physically be transmit from the PS3 to the projector -lrb- see a few site with people who have buy this complain about the same thing -rrb- without pass through a converter box , the cheapest be $ 40 and of dubious quality and go up to $ 200 . for that I can just buy the gt720 . native 1080p , HDMI connector for the PS3 etc. . say that I have return the projector for a refund and will most likely rebuy the higher range one , three star for the build quality , nice include backpack , the fact that it will be fine if you just have the Wii or a dvd player and it lose two star for be a literal mindboggle of a information page , look like it be fit for purpose when read between the line and a number of different forum make it apparent that when they say `` playstation '' and `` XBOX '' they really mean that literally as in first gen or ps2 at the most due to they use of scart . tldr : do not get if you want to show blu-ray or ps3\/xbox , major hassle , buy the gt720 .
929	Projector	NEG	1	I get my proyector in the mail anf right out of the box it have a problem with the audio , could not fix the problem so a call amazon and they send I a new one the next day -lrb- amazon costumer service be exelent -rrb- I recive the 2nd one and everything work great for one hole day , i be very happy in till the hdmus port stare to act funny , the hdmus will lose complete signal , this be very anoying because everytime i have to desconect my ps3 or blue ray and hook it right back to get the signal go again !! I have 2 for a week and only be able to use it one day for about 2 hour ... . what a pain in the butt !! . . my son be upset because the thing do not work for he ps3 and it make my experiance on get this product soo miserable , I will not recomend this UNIT if you be plane on USING IT with HDMI PORTS !! IM RETURNING IT and GETTING MY MONEY back !!
547	Projector	POS	4	I buy this a few day before I leave to Afghanistan where I know I would be live in a small room -lrb- thankfully by myself -rrb- . I read review of most of the pico out there and the pk301 seem like the best . bottom line : it be good for watch movie and presentation , but I would not use it as a secondary giant display for my computer . pro : \* it be small and light \* it be quiet \* it be pretty bright for its size \* I mount it to a dresser at the back of my room and project it to the other side -lrb- ~ 15 foot away -rrb- . it create a nice 8 ' diagonal screen which be great for movie . con : \* do not come with a remote -- this end up be useful since it be so small and easy to bounce around \* hard to mount and position for view . fortunately I have a spidery tripod for a camera that it screw to which make position of the projection easy . no more fumble with little pamphlet to pitch it up a half a degree . \* not that sharp for text . I try move the focus ring to get sharper text inside the display -lrb- when just use it attach to my Mac Mini -rrb- but the text be readable at best . I would not read a ebook while use it . \* you definitely want the light off or at least a fairly dark room . 50 lumen be the best out there for its size , but not good enough near a sunny window . I probably need to read the manual to learn more how to configure it , but it seem fine at 720p hook to my Mac Mini via the include hdmus cable . most movie look fine , some be choppy , which I suppose be not the projector 's fault . overall I be very pleased with this little guy and be shock at its size like everyone else . I think you give this technology another year or two and you 'll have some even better hd projector .

1	Projector	POS	4	look for a bright , portable , quiet projoector ? this be it . great keystone control and color depth and brightness . only downside -- zoom effect be highly lack . do not expect to shrink or enlarge the image much once you have the projector set up . but for the money -- perfect projector .
35	Projector	POS	5	I do not think I can say enough about this product . for a installation , it be perfect . the unit do have a thin skin -lrb- be strike by Wii remote and no issue so far -rrb- . and be bulky for travel ; if you intend to use it in a installation it be great . I mount my from the ceiling and the throw be perfectly suit for this . my price be 644 and this be a steal deal for that . it be bright , able to use it in a room that get muted sunlight -lrb- closed white curtain -rrb- and unshielded -lrb- naked -rrb- light -lrb- 3 of they about 75 watt each -rrb- . only in dark scene do I see shadow on the screen from wall and such behind the projector . this be my everyday tv screen . I have it connect to dish hd -lrb- 1080i -rrb- and with it project to a width of 9 foot you will be awed . watch football will never be the same . I have use the speaker and while it be weak against my 1000 watt thx amplifier , it be perfectly suitable to hear in a reasonably quiet room . pro : bright , short throw , simple setup , 1080p , good value . con : no horizontal keystone , large , appear fragile , no DVI input .
424	Projector	NEG	2	I buy this projector because I though I look cool , when I receive it the box look like if it be cheap , when I open it it look very nice . when I turn it on the menu be a little hard to work , and the room have to be very very dark to get a clear image , and also the image quality be not good . I end up return mine and they customer service suck .

I test it out before wrap and wish I do not have to wait to give this to he . this be the first projector I have ever purchase and spend about a month research inexpensive projector before buy this one . I be extremely satisfy with this purchase . I be amaze at the picture and audio quality . we use this as a tv for we bedroom and for gathering with family . it easily set up with a home theater system . I do not have any complaint with this item and can not wait to purchase more favus item in the future !
571	Projector	POS	5	this be my second pj and I love it . it be smaller and brighter than the hc1500 I have .

168	Projector	NEG	1	I use it on a monthly basis , and after a year all of a sudden white pixel appear all over the screen and the projector become no longer usable . it suck !
717	Projector	POS	5	this unit be just amazing .  although the rating be 800x600 , you can display 1024x768 with excellent result . if no one tell you , you would not know that 1024x768 be not the native resolution .  it be very light , and come with a remote that double as a mouse for you computer , which enable you to deliver presentation in a very professional manner .  although the rainbow effect that plague early generation dlp projector be present at time with this unit , I be not bother by it . you can only see it if you look for it , but be non-existant if you be captivate by the movie or show you be watch .  other point : - 1 composite video in - 1 s-video in - 1 vga in - 1 audio in - manual focus -lrb- that be a minus -rrb- - electronic lamp hour usage tracking - 4:3 , native , or widescreen -lrb- 16:9 -rrb- display mode - digital keystoning - it be as loud as a standard computer . so , at night you will notice it when all other sound be mute . that noise be usually cover up by the movie or tv sound or during the day by daily noise .  finally , there be two extra bonus when you get the unit . - the bulb now last 4000hr instead of 3000hr as advertised - it be 1100 luminen instead of 1000 as advertised - the bulb price be down to 299 buck , which make it very economical

396	Projector	POS	4	this be a solid mount . other than not include the screw\/bolt you 'll need to attach this to the ceiling , it have everything you 'll need .
550	Projector	POS	5	i be use this projector in a linux -lrb- ubuntu -rrb- system . the quality of the image be perfect ... it be easy to set up -lrb- in fact , there be not necesary to do anything at all , just to plug it on -rrb- . the image size be always the same , it just depend of the projection distance . but the image resolution depend of the connection wire -lrb- if a s-video the max resolution be 800x600 , if VGA the resolution grow up to 1920x1200 ... -rrb- and the graphic card . i be project the movie to a white wall , and have a image size about 1.80 m diag with 3m distance between wall and projector . it be not necessary to turn off all the ligth because the high contrast ratio , but it be better if there be not a lot clarity in the room .
893	Projector	NEG	2	I love the size but , picture quality be lack and I buy mine so my wife could use it at school in a room with the light off . I guess there be still too much light because it be impossible to see . I should have save my money . great concept just not bright enough
927	Projector	POS	5	but , you will want to get a outboard subwoofer to complete the package . I add the Yamaha YST-SW215 subwoofer to complete the bottom end . the proof be when I invite friend over to watch a good sound drive dvd tell they that the main home theater system in the basement theater be be use by my son and he friend . we watch and soon they be ask about the Yamaha sound bar and that it be produce better sound quality than they larger , less discrete home theater system that they own . the Yamaha sound bar be versatile and have all sort of setting that you can mess with to you heart 's or ear 's content . everything from basic output of a news talk program to a `` lush with audio '' dvd to a ipod connection for just plain music . there be setting to satisfy most anyone and those setting product rich sound that a flat paneled sound bar such as this one have no right to reproduce , yet do . to be fair , if you be look or listen for the bottom end , the sound bar itself will not do it , you must add a subwoofer as I mention above . the feedback calibration function be extremely useful in allow you to get dead-on adjustment for your room , not some industry average . I have a particularly odd set up in that the room have a cathedral ceiling and a partially open back end that flow into a galley kitchen . I pay much more for this when it first come out , it be now down in price significantly as there be higher model now available . this be a excellent unit for those of you who do not want or can not have discrete component due to setup or space limitation . Hang it just under you flat screen tv and you have get about as small a footprint as you be ever go to get with top notch sound to boot . grant , it do not possess the heft of my full home theater unit at 200w into 7 channel plus Hsu Research subwoofer ... BUT bang for the buck , this unit will not underwhelm you -lrb- just add the subwoofer , the Yamaha sub unit that I have work just fine and you can let it kick out when there be no sub content in the source ! -rrb- .
553	Projector	POS	5	excellent projector that be very easy to setup and use . if you plan on use a remote for presentation , you will need to buy another remote . the one list with this machine be only for the projector setup and operation and will not control the presentation .
973	Projector	NEG	2	I purchase this projtor base on the mostly positive review . First of all please note that this be not a hd projector . it simply accept hd signal via HDMI for example and the video signal be be downsize to VGA picture quality . furthermore , the color be completely off . I be debate with myself if it be worth it to send it back and get another projector and ask friend who be over and the verdict be that this hurt they eye . do you research and be aware of these factor . if you want a better picture , then simply go with a name brand .
138	Projector	POS	4	watch movie and play game in 3d on a wall-size screen will blow you away ! I replace my old BenQ projector with it . it be connect to my pc via 10-meter VGA cable . I be think about put new wire through ceiling , which would be pain . fortunately the 3d work at 1280x700@120Hz even with this VGA cable which amaze I . you dont have to enable 3d mode in projector setting for it to work . just make sure you nvidium control panel can switch into 120hz mode and back -lrb- i have a issue with it not recognize 1280x700 mode as native and not be able to kick into 120 hz mode so I have to add custom resolution from within the panel -rrb- . another thing be , you have to be in Projector only mode -lrb- in win 7 just press Windows + p to bring up display mode selection -rrb- for 3d to work properly . but once you get it go in 3d , the effect be so wonderful that you quickly forget about the set up bump . the downside , as usual , be the price of 3d shutter glass .
409	Projector	POS	4	Pretty happy with this upgrade version . use this toy mainly for watch streaming video movie from Netflix . good for up to 40 in . on the wall in semi-dark env . link via s-video from laptop to composite video on the projector . buy a s-video to rca convertor . pro : - ultra compact - adjustable image size and color - always in focus - no noise con : - poor for view text -lrb- almost can not view any word in m word doc from VGA docking to laptop -rrb- look forward for hd and brighter laser pico projector in the future .
471	Projector	POS	4	even on the std mode -lrb- eco -rrb- , the projector be seriously bright . you really do not need light on in a dark room while watch a movie . only negative be you do see the rainbow effect during dark background , could be my eye , but I be not expect to see rainbow on a 3d ready projector with 120hz capability . not so much to be a deal breaker thou . the detail on the video be pretty good and you really get the feeling of sit in a movie theater . I do not do any calibration and out of the box picture itself look pretty good to I . I do reduce the brightness a few notch , feel too bright otherwise . the remote control do not have a back light , but as I say , the room be bright enough to see even in movie mode . a little ambient light do not wash the image . that be a strong positive for this projector . I have not try the hd to its full extent yet , just try play movie use regular dvd player use rca and s-video . try a few movie and power point presentation by play via the VGA connectivity . thanks to Amazon , the projector be deliver super quick : -rrb- I have it within a week of order . the packaging be good too . I 'll definitely recommend it to the user . its a 720p that can play a 1080p stream . the detail be very good . Technically it have a native resolution of 1280 x 800 which be same as most laptop screen . so it be good for both play a movie or use it as a secondary laptop display for a high resolution presentation .
689	Projector	POS	5	very nice sharp colorfull clear picture , a slient and great product . my living room have ambinet light and this projector will not cut it even in bright setting . good for light controlled setup .
982	Projector	POS	5	Great for the price . very happy with it , recommend . they also have a electric one for more money but this one do the trick .
896	Projector	NEG	1	this be my first projector and I do alot of research before buy it . it meet a most of the requirement in term of picture quality and brightness etc. . everything be ok for three month ... then the pixel start die , -lrb- which mean there be dark and light spot all over the screen -rrb- within one week we have close to 30 dead pixel spread across the screen . the Amazon 30 day warranty have expire so we contact Vivitek and that be where the real disappointment come . they never answer they telephone !!!!! they do not return message !!!! they do not answer e mail !!!! there be no way to get a human be at this company ... and I really try . they customer service be the worst I have ever encounter and will never buy anything marked vivitek again . I contact Amazon about this and they be give I a refund so I be buy a Epson this time . Adios Vivitek !
63	Projector	NEU	3	there be two main reason I buy this projector : 1 . the increase in resolution over my SVGA projector . 2 . the horizontal keystone correction so I would not have to have the projector perfectly square . the projector succeed in the resolution department as I can now easily read small text in the Netflix movie description . however , the horizontal slide correction do not work anywhere near as well as I have hope . it do function and help some but no where near the correction capability of my Uncle 's Panasonic pt-ae700u with lens shift . grant the Panasonic model be considerably higher price than this projector when it come out , I still feel Epson 's horizontal correction capability be overexaggerate in the diagram provide in the description . if you do not care about this feature this be easily a four star projector for the price -lrb- can not really knock it for be 720p instead of 1080p in this price range -rrb- . the minus one star if for a fan that be a bit louder than my old SVGA projector that be similar in brightness and rate at 2600 lumen , so the brightness be not the only factor in increase fan noise . ultimately , this be a upgrade to my previous projector and be probably a fair deal for the price but I feel it do not quite live up to some of it be claim .
510	Projector	POS	5	just get my Electric Favi Screen 120 '' -lrb- hd-120 -rrb- , all i can say be perfect , im satisfied with the quality of the screen , the place on where i order it -lrb- Ace Photo Digital , 3rd seller party at amazon -rrb- they didnt use ups\/fedex to deliver the item but use this company call `` Home Direct '' and all i can say be awesome customer service , they be call I everytime to update the status of the item , the box be perfect and the delivery guy really handle the item with care . overall im satisfy . note : if you install this thing on a drywall ceiling like i do , i recommend use this anchor  Red Head EZPPL100 E-Z Self-Drilling Plastic Drywall Anchor -lrb- 100 per Box -rrb-  this be Screen be great with Epson 8350 on a 12 foot throw .
615	Projector	POS	5	use it to show picture at a party I be at on the back side of the garage door . then hook it up to a blu-ray player and watch Scott Pilgrim vs. the World . be a great picture . it do need to be DARK in the room you be use it in , due to the 50 lumen . but for the price it do what it say it will . also need to hook it up to external speaker for sound as the internal .5 watt be obviously not enough . overall I highly recommend for those look for a extremely portable projector . if you want videophile quality this be not it , though . but then agian it be not market that way .
996	Projector	POS	5	okay ... I have a bias , and I 'll admit it . I be a engineer by trade , and I have work on the design of Picoprojectors for 3M . so I know what go into they all the way down at the silicon level . there be several approach to get pixel up on a screen use as little power as possible -lrb- mostly have to do with how you turn the LED 's in the `` lamphouse '' on and off more quickly than the eye\/brain can notice that they be flash -rrb- . there be also way in which you can turn they on sequentially in red , green , and blue to illuminate what be actually a monochrome display module -- and then let the brain reassemble the three mono-colored image into the full color picture you think you see . what differentiate this projector from a number of other on the market be the amount of time 3M put into ask a fundamental question a lot of other people do not : `` how be the human eye and brain combination -- which be a part of the system -- stimulate most effectively by light so that the perceive quality of the overall picture be highest ? '' I should note that I be not a 3M employee , I be part of a engineering consulting business that do work with 3M . -lrb- a great company to have as a client , btw ... -rrb- but I have do video system design for dozen of people over the year . and 3M have they act together on this project to a greater degree than just about anybody I can think of .
531	Projector	POS	5	Epson have go the full 9 with this projector . it be compact , come with most of the cable a majority of user will need , and even a nifty carry case to fit everything into . I think the part that impress I the most be the exclusive tech support phone number right on the bottom of the projector itself . clearly , Epson be aim for the business class and intend to stand behind they product . Easy Setup I recently get a Epson printer and have nothing but trouble with the software setup right from the get-go -- a tell-tale sign of a piece of junk in my book . well , it look like they get they act together this time around , by contrast , the setup for this projector be as uneventful as it should be -- no issue whatsoever install the software on win 7 pro 64bit ; just a clean seamless install and use . silly as it sound , that be often not the case . truth be tell , there be little to no setup if you be do slideshow presentation off a usb flash drive ; everything can be do on the project screen right out of the box . the same hold true of you laptop have a hdmus port -- just plug in the cable from laptop to projector and operate you computer as normal . but here be the real kicker ... Android Tablet projection via Toshiba Thrive  Toshiba Thrive  now that be forward think technology in my book . tired of all work and no play ? how about play Angry Birds project on a huge screen ? or maybe you be a app developer want to show you latest creation to a room of client . the possibility be endless , that be , if you have a thrive with full-sized hdmus port . speak of input this projector have every port I would ever want -- usb , hdmus , s-vid , rca -- even the arcane VGI port if anyone still have the need -lrb- eek ! I guess the only thing miss as a sd slot , which might have be good for certain slideshow presentation . but with all the other connectivity option , the oversight be no big deal . after all , at the end of the day , it be all just multiple option of do the same thing . image Quality & Brightness the quality of the project image be superb -- naturally some environmental factor come into play , such as , the surface be project on , and lighting environment . but I be able to get clean , crisp image , even in a room with the light on ! I be quite happy with how everything look . and yes , even text be crisp and perfectly legible . and it do not take much tweaking with the focus and projection angle to find the best setting . Perfect ! quiet the unit itself be fairly quiet . it do have internal fan to dissipate heat , but the sound be not distracting or loud by any means . over time , as the fan blade collect dust , that may change . but most time I can quiet down a noisy fan by just blast it with a shot of compress air . it get hot the projector do get hot quite fast and blow warm air from its vent almost immediately . it be not scalding hot or anything . and the manual do say you do not have to wait for it to cool off before pack it away . but it be just worth mention that it heat up fast . boot up this projector boot up and be ready to go in less than 30 seconds . so if you be run late and everyone be wait for you to get go , this Epson will not hold you back at all . remote Pretty much everything this projector do can be control with the wireless remote , include switching input source , e-zoom , volume , etc ; offer all the flexibility and control I would want or need . and I do not even have to point the remote directly at the projector to make it work ; in fact , I intentionally point the remote away form the projector at extreme angle and the ir signal reach the projector with no trouble at all . sound the build in speaker be surprisingly loud . it be not HiFi stereo or anything , but people should not have any trouble hearing audio during a presentation . Light & Compact this projector be not overly bulky or heavy , which be great , because I be disabled and do not need to lug bulky , heavy peripheral around . I have some application for this in mind which will all occur on the road , so this lightweight projector be a plus for I . it be about the size of one of those big 4 '' 3-ring binder , only nowhere near as heavy as those get if load to the max with paper . another nice touch be the carry bag be mark on the inside , remind I to put the projector inside with the lens face up -lrb- if it be face down and the bag be accidentally drop or set down too hard , the lens could shatter . -rrb- Bottom Line -- this be a pretty straight forward projector -- everything work as I expect and be easy to operate . I really do not need to refer to the instruction for much of anything . this be a great projector , and compare to how expensive these use to be , the price be good for the quality . I do not recall the brand I use to use in the past , but I remember it be 3x the cost of this Epson , and do not have all the feature . but then , rapidly change tech be just a sign of the time . if you do not need HDMI , Epson even offer a cheaper model than this one ; just figure out what input you need most , cuz there be no need to break the bank buying feature you 'll never use . though IMO , the HDMI be the most indispensable and the port I 'll use most . I may even project video off my hd video camera ! kudos !
277	Projector	NEU	3	seller ship it fast but the deliver company delay it by couple more day , but that be not a seller 's fault ... screen do not come with any installation screw for the mount the screen case to the wall . but once you prepare the wall for support the weight of the screen case , installation be a breeze . -lrb- I screw a 14 foot wood plank and screw it at all the stud point , then I screw the case to the plank , since the case screw point do not align well with the stud -rrb- Motor be not whisper quiet but quiet enough to be appreciate . wire control and both remote work very well . screen be thick and material be a good quality reflection material , you can easily see the gain in the reflect light . they claim `` you will never see any bump or wave in any favus screen . we electric screen technology have effectively eliminate the need for a more expensive high tension screen . '' , but I disagree with it . yes it do stretch the screen tightly every time the screen roll up , but during that process it form stretch mark which could become a wrinkle after few month or year . also the screen bow on the edge . it doe not affect the view area yet but I do not know how long that will be the case . it do look little bid ugly like roll down paper-roll with out a side stretch , I guess that be why you need a more expensive high tension screen . note : my screen be 150 '' so the bowing be little bid more than a 100 '' and 120 '' , bigger the size more be the bowing . if the bowing be not happen I would have give it a five Star . over all it be a good product , a cheaper alternative for a more expensive high tension screen with a compromise . when you pay 1\/8 or 1\/5 the price of a expensive high tension , screen compromise be expect .
536	Projector	POS	5	I mostly use this projector for my dvd player and my game console . I find that it have a real crisp picture , and very easy to use . it be very compact and very portable . I be surprise . I would recommend this product to someone look for a projector .
752	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector in September , so far i havent get any problem with it , if i need to tell any bad point that would be that Aaxa dont make they with more that 110 lumen output .
246	Projector	POS	5	first , let I explain my set up . I purchase this projector for the great room in my new home , which I move into in December 2010 . I have it ceiling mount and have a hdmus and power supply build into the ceiling , so I would not have any wire hang down . I use the projector for DirecTV -lrb- HD -rrb- , Blu Ray movie , my karaoke player , and my Wii . I have two HDMI switch , which allow I to go back and forth between the projector and my Samsung plasma tv . I be use this projector with a ceiling-mounted , 80-inch screen -lrb- also purchase via Amazon -rrb- . while I do not use the projector as my primary tv , I do use it when I have company over or want to watch a movie . it could easily be one 's primary television , but the picture be not as clear as that on my plasma tv . obviously , the picture be better at night than during the day , but it be bright enough that it can be use during the day . I have a Super Bowl party -lrb- the game start at 4:30 here -rrb- , and everybody comment on how cool it be to watch the game on the projector . I do not get any complaint about the picture . I initially think the projector could project up to 300 inch . I be not sure where I get that . it be possible I get confuse due to the ton of projector I be research at one time . there be no way -lrb- that I have find -rrb- to increase the picture size . it be about 80 inch ; it fill up my 80-inch projector screen just fine . the audio have not be a problem for I . I have ceiling-mounted speaker as part of my home theater system , so I would not have any need to use the unit 's built-in speaker . overall I be happy with the projector . I may move it into my bedroom and upgrade to something with a higher resolution that be a little bit brighter , but for the price this be a great deal . I have the coolest home theater setup on my block , and my friend love to come over for movie and karaoke night . what more could I ask for ?
688	Projector	NEG	2	we have use this projector for less than 20 hour and be already get a lamp error replace lead blinking light . I will be test the 90 day manufacture warranty on the bulb . up until this issue I feel like I have a good product for the price .
506	Projector	POS	4	this be a really bright projector and project very sharp image . need quite a bit of color adjustment out of the box but I get it to look really good . however , the DLP rainbow effect be very noticeable to both I and my son on this machine . what be odd be that we be replace another DLP projector and we do not see rainbow with the old one . the old projector be a SharpVision xv-z3000 -lrb- 720p\/1080i -rrb- . we think the reason for the DPL rainbow effect now be a issue with the BenQ vs. we sharp be that the Sharp be a 5x speed color wheel while the BENQ be only 4x speed color wheel . too bad ... I have to return the BenQ . I would have keep the BenQ if not for that since it be otherwise a really nice machine . we wind up get a Epson PowerLite 8500ub . very nice machine right out of the box -lrb- in term of adjustment , performance in general , sharpness , black , etc. -rrb- - a keeper ! Amazon be awesome with regard to take the benq as a return . thanks Amazon !!!
398	Projector	NEU	3	I have have this projector for about 1 1\/2 year now . its get about 2700 hour total on it . for the price it be be a fantastic projector . however , unlike my old much more expensive Optoma projector that last for year , this one be die before even burn through the first bulb . it begin with just a few white spot , but over the past few day it be like a disease of white and dark spot grow on the picture . for some reason mirror just seem to keep die and spread by the hour . I be a loyal Optoma user , in fact I be upgrade soon to the hd33 . I understand this be a cheap unit with only a 1 year warranty , but I be hope Optoma will do something , the dlp mirror should not be die this soon . I 'll update the review if they do .
161	Projector	POS	4	love it only give it 4 out of 5 star because i be unable to adjust the stop point of where the screen stop when comee down

I just buy another one for my brother and he can not wait to get it in the mail ... I have recommend it to other family and friend . a MUST BUY !! = -rrb-
963	Projector	POS	5	very easy to set up , sound great ! . I have 10 ' ceiling and a `` l '' shaped room . I do not want to go to all the trouble of install tradional speaker . I be please with this product !
80	Projector	POS	5	I get this projector within 3 day of purchasing , it be ship half the globe to middle east . it be a perfect purchase and delivery from amazon . thank you amazon . . when it come to the projector , I have be use it now for over two month , its as perfect as you wish it to be . I be use it as my primary visual device -lrb- i do not have a tv set -rrb- . so I be connect my satalite reciever , my Mac minus and my dvd player . all workk perfectly . the 720p hd picture be very crisp , I almost see no difference compare to the 1080p . however , it be a bit of a blow when it come to the 3d , I contact optoma to ask about the 3d capability and how can I watch 3d on it , they say I can not watch 3d video on it yet , mean I can not connect my cable tv or blue-ray player to it and play 3d , I will have to buy a 3d adapter -lrb- like the optoma 3d-xl adapter -rrb- in order to play 3d . I be expect it to be 3d capable and ready without any adapter , but its not the case . anyway , i be very happy about my purchase , will post another review if i manage to get the 3d-xl adapter . i give it 3 star in the 3d attribute cuz u can not play 3d without a adapter . thanks
247	Projector	POS	4	it be now 2007 and I buy this projector in 2003 and it be still run strong . I use it to watch tv and dvd . about half a year ago the bulb pop and I have to replace it . this be expect to happen at some point , but HP do not make it very easy to order the bulb online , you have to call and then they can not find the part etc. . and it be quite expensive -lrb- $ 500 -rrb- . the only other complaint I have be the noise level of the fan . ohter than that it run perfectly and very reliably and have never fail I .
326	Projector	POS	5	at first I didnt believe that you could get a decent projector for just over $ 300 , and when I open the box I didnt expect this little thing to be very good , but I be wrong . this little powerhouse put out a very sharp bright and colorful picture . the contrast be much greater than a lcd type projector . and I dont see what all the complain be about with the input . you can purchase a VGA to RGB cable for very little money on Amazon and use the component output of you dvd player . you will get a much higher re picture . I have put this thru the test for a friend of mine and I must say ... I want one now . it be small , come with carry case and basic cable and I love the way the remote slide into the top of the projector for storage . very well design and cheap to keep . replacement lamp be about 1\/3 that of other projector . highly recommend .
338	Projector	POS	4	1 . VGA output from connection to portable laptop : Adequate due to focus problem , i.e. unfocused image across the breadth of the projection which come from a distance of approximately 12 ' in this case . furthermore , focus the image adequately with the focus wheel be somewhat difficult . however , if the operator fiddle long enough with the focus , one can generally see a clear image over most of the projection if the projection be nearly perpendicular to the wall with minimal skew . although 12 ' be outside the range suggest by the manufacturer , the Optoma pk201 have focus problem even at shorter distance , e.g. 9 ' . the hdmus capability beg a user to connect the pk201 to a computer and project the desktop onto a wall as a replacement for a large screen tv . currently , the latter process do not work well because not all quadrant of the project image be in focus at the same time . personally , I would love to use this capability with my speech recognition system while browse the InterNet , but a project desktop consist of text be very difficult to read . in order to read the fuzzier text , heavy use of the web browser 's zoom capability be require which cause other problem . Optoma , you blow it here and I fully expect you next generation of micro projector to precisely focus all quadrant of the project image simultaneously . I will not be as forgiving if this problem reoccur in succeed generation . no excuse . 2 . thermal : a purchaser would not want a micro projector produce greater heat . personally , excessive heat might be play a role in the focus problem . with the current design , 20 lumen be about maximum for micro projector use lead dlp -lrb- currently -rrb- and passive cooling . employ laser diode instead of led be a option for micro projector , but I be unsure which option have the greatest luminosity per unit of thermal output . 3 . luminosity : the projector be barely acceptable at 20 lumen . unless one restrict the usage of they micro projector to nighttime hour , do not buy a micro projector with a rate output less than 20 lumen . the projection from the pk201 can be see in a room with some indirect exterior light so the brightness be acceptable . 4 . battery life : marginal at best . buy another battery as a spare . you 'll need it . 5 . the power switch be too small . 6 . one can replace the include conversion software with Handbrake if the user be willing to fiddle with the setting . personally , I use avidemux 2 to convert video for the pk201 , but Handbrake will work as well . thanks to legondaree on the Handbrake forum for these selection for use with Handbrake : a. Select the `` iPhone & iPod Touch '' preset . b. Set output format to `` mp4 file '' c. Set Video \ Video codec to `` H. 264 -lrb- x264 -rrb- '' d. Set Video \ Quality to `` average bitrate -lrb- kbp -rrb- : 1500 '' e. Set Advanced \ b-frame to `` 0 '' f. Disable Advanced \ CABAC Entropy Coding g. Set Advanced \ Motion Estimation Method to `` uneven multi_hexagon '' h. in `` Picture Settings '' , select a maximum width of 720 and height of 480 and set Anamorphic to `` none '' although , I initially think about return the pk201 due to the difficulty in focus and the minimal life of the battery , I have decide to keep it as one can get a readable image across most of the screen if the aforementioned precaution be follow and one can always purchase a additional battery . the pk201 be a good micro projector and worth $ 300 , but the difficulty in focus and the minimal life of the battery detract from its usefulness . remember , technology will continually advance these micro projector so one have to weigh various factor before decide to purchase . personally , I do not think either the pk201 or pk301 be mature enough yet although they be close . the next generation of these micro projector will probably see much wider adoption of these device . I suspect 30 + test lumen will probably be the minimum output and at least 90 minute of battery life before these device see wide acceptance . in conclusion , the pk201 will work nicely for display picture and video as a slightly out of focus condition will not generally be noticeable in part of the image . furthermore , if the pk201 be use primarily in a room with indirect light , e.g. all shades pull during daylight hour , or at night , the brightness of the project image be adequate . the pk201 can also be use to display text , but slightly out of focus text can be maddening after awhile . personally , I be able to use the pk201 to project my desktop while browse the InterNet with my speech recognition system if I heavily zoom my web browser to enlarge the text and precisely fiddle with the focus wheel . the latter can be do with some difficulty and the text be largely readable so all be not lose . I have decide to bump my overall rating from 3 to 4 . the pk201 be so close to meet the requirement for many application and it be a very good buy if the intend use be primarily for view picture or watch video .
43	Projector	POS	5	I be very happy with Moviemate so far . I be pleasantly surprise by feature not mention in other review . - Plays MP3 CDs , 12 hour or more of music on a mp3 cd create on you computer or purchase . the onscreen display be nice and complete , as well as the built-in console display of track information include title . the onscreen display be easily turn off -lrb- even with the remote ! -rrb- to preserve lamp life turn the unit into a great sound tabletop music player with sub-woofer and remote that will play all day long . - Sleep timer . the sleep timer be very useful in `` tabletop music player '' mode above . the unit can be set to automatically turn off at up to 150 minute or whenever the program end in `` auto-standby '' mode .

556	Projector	POS	4	my fiance and I just recently purchase this projector as a replacement projector for we home Theater and love it . it be easy to set up and we be watch movie and tv in no time . the picture be fantastic for the price and be well worth it . if you be look for a entry level projector that will surprise you this be the one .

921	Projector	POS	5	the projector be receive in good order , function accord to specification and my interaction with GRAHAMGANNON & Co have be cordial and helpful .
444	Projector	POS	5	this amazing little piece of technology have blow my mind . I turn my empty bedroom wall into a 50 '' screen . I have show family member travel photo at a moment notice . I have impress a few young woman at the bar . quite simply , you have the ability to project a screen of vary size anywhere - it be quite the feat and really quite fun as you watch other `` ooh and ahh '' at this technology . enjoy !
981	Projector	NEG	2	I buy the p1 Jr. . Pico Projector specifically to plug into my ipad 2 and iPhone 4 . note that the unit do not come with any ipad\/iphone connector cable . it do come with Composite AV cable so I buy the $ 50 Apple Composite AV cable to use . the Apple cable do not work . after contact support , I be tell I have to buy the $ 25 iphone\/ipad connector cable from they . I buy the cable from they only to then find out the projector do not project everything . it only project YouTube and Apps that have be specifically write to allow project . keep in mind I have the ipad 2 . it project everything when plug into my regular projector or tv . that be a feature of the ipad 2 , you can plug it into a tv and everything get display . unlike the original ipad 1 that do require app to be write to allow external viewing . I spend almost $ 200 on the unit and cable to find out it do not project the internet . major fail . if want this unit to project the internet , it will not work . the projector itself be very small and nice . the display be fairly decent when use in a dark room . however if you want to project Internet , it will not work .
354	Projector	NEG	1	I buy this for new comer briefing for my business . it look good but that be about it . none of the input work . after follow the instruction and plug in a VGA cable to start with , there be a `` no sync '' screen showing . then I try different input include hdmus and s-video to no avail . I have own a few projector and this be product be just a waste of money . I end up purchase a pocket projector with the build in hard drive and good battery life -lrb- mpro150 -rrb- .
899	Projector	POS	4	projector look and work great out of the box , get the universal mount that amazon offer as a `` bundle '' and it fit well . I have a 120 '' image at 14 ' throw distance and it be stunning at night or with blackout curtain over the one small window . it be visible but not nearly as impressive with light on . unfortunately , on day 2 we hear a loud POP and it stop work . take it down and there be break glass -lrb- and I have since learn , mercury gas -rrb- everywhere . apparently this happen to a few lamp out of each batch that be defective - they explode within the first few hour of use . Amazon immediately offer exchange of whole product or partial refund to buy a new lamp . I opt for the latter and just now order the replacement lamp . I have always be impress by amazon 's customer service , it be what keep I come back , but have to wait another week to use the new projector stink . I 'll update this on how thing turn out .
490	Projector	POS	4	the Epson VS Series VS315W 3LCD Projector 2800 Lumens be a nice projector to use for school project or work presentation . I use my projector for a PowerPoint presentation and it be amazing no hassle or fuss . I use the adapter cord to plug it into my laptop and it allow I to watch video , Youtube , and any other website you want to put on you projector . even though this projector do not come with a screen you really do not need one I use the white wall and even a dark color wall and the picture be just as vivid and clear . the initial set up be easy my 13 year old son do it all by himself . the only complaint that I have with this projector be that the bulb put out a good amount of heat and the fan do little to cool the projector off , also the speaker be very low and you have to have a completely quiet room to hear they or else the sound seem slightly distorted . the Epson Projector also come with a easy to use remote that operate the projector so that you can show you project or presentation in a professional manner . minor flaw but overall great projector .
179	Projector	POS	5	as long as you be not work in a big theater , this be a terrific projector for everyday presentation . it be one of the least expensive on the market , and easy to use right out of the box . the control be super-easy and the hook up simple and clear . a nice sharp , bright image in a very small and lightweight package .
795	Projector	NEG	2	I purchase a 3M portable projector last year . the cable that connect to my pc usb drive appear to have malfunction and the supplier do not have the replacement , which be strange . without that basically I can not use the projector
961	Projector	NEG	2	I purchase this product because I do not want to spend a whole lot of money , but I want to be able to watch movie on my wall in my house . I purchase it basically know that for the cheap price , it would not be that great , but I have hope for some reason that it would be passable and get the job do . but I be wrong . with most of my movie , I could not even make out the identity of the character that be show from the movie . I do not recommend get this product as it be a waste of very valuable money on my part . if you really want to buy a projector , then I recommend save up you money to buy a really great quality one -lrb- the really good one average from about $ 500 and up -rrb- . but , if you do buy this product , here be a tip : although the picture be barely recognizable , it help if the surface you be project on it very large . again , I do not recommend this product at all . I recommend save up for a quality one if a projector really something you want .
839	Projector	NEG	2	we church also have get this unit , only use it on Sundays . have it for under one year and the bulb go . say it have 72 % leave on it , hardly no where close to 2000-3000 hr . life . not happy with bulb .
663	Projector	NEG	2	this be a good concept however the delivery of the product be cheap at best . the container be make of metal that be too thin to actually hold together . critical bracket be break when I receive the unit . also the screen be dirty and this should never happen in a new product . would not buy another one .
675	Projector	NEU	3	I purchase this mount because of the good review . over all it be a good mount but even with the include extension arm it be not large enough for my Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 . I make it work use only 3 of the 4 mount hole
167	Projector	POS	5	I get mine on sale last year . what a bargain . great pix , versitile , & super bright ! we can watch it in the daytime it be so bright . I use it on the road for my show so it get use & abuse a lot . it be still run perfect on it be original bulb . when it be not on the road it be use as my primary widescreen tv at home . this unit will not show full the resolution of true quality hdtv , but do a excellent job . many hdtv signal have be downscale , upscale , dowscale again , recompressed , & reprocess so many time by the time it reach you home , most of the channel be not true hdtv quality anymore anyhow ... esp . signal through cable & satellite . I guess the FCC have not pass any law for hdtv quality yet . the unit have more than enough resolution for ordinary DTV & DVDs . for some reason , I do not get eye fatigue like I do watch other projector a few hour . the factory preset be not that good & seem to be for watch ordinary analog TV & VHS tape . fortunatly it come with 3 user settable preset with a very wide array of setting & tweak that make it a top quality performer . I buy the component input adapter for it from Infocus . the quality of the adapter cable be poor & pick up plenty of RFI . also after carefully unplug it only a few time , one of the connector fall right off the adapter . poorly , cheaply design adapter concider most infocus product be specifically design to be use on the road , set up & tear down easily & quickly all the time . the connecter for my other road equipment do not break after year of heavy use . fortunately for the road & at home the s-video connector do a excellent job . do not ever use the ordinary rca-jack style composite signal jack on a hi-end tv or projector . the signal will not be good enough . any good tv will just make the poor signal quality more obvious . the above reviewer must have get a bad unit or one that be bang around during shipping , or be drop . these be durable unit , but with too much bang around , you 'll have problem the reviewer describe . the grind sound come from the color wheel or blower fan be knock out of alignment . I also own they older lp-350 xga model & use a few of they other model . so far I be very happy with all of they I have use . although my very old lp-350 still work like new , I have do some mod on it & the lens to increase the contrast ratio , brightness & bulb life . I be surprised that if I can do it , that infocus do not offer a mod plan for they to do it for a price . they will not even sell spec & technical service datum on they old machine . I guess they want you to pay a arm & leg for they to do repair , or buy a new one . I have have to fix a few infocus projector out of warranty after they be bang around or just get well use & old ... with no help or sevice datum from infocus , even though it be request . fortunately , dlp projector have be around for a while now , so there be plenty of qualify tech familiar with they in just about every town who know how to fix , mod , & upgrade they at a fraction of the cost infocus will once they be out of warranty . from what I read in the past , you be better off send it to a local tech with experience with dlp machine for repair rather than back to InFocus . they seem to do a better job cheaper , & know what they be do . Infocus will not even to tell you where to get special tool need to take they apart . I wonder if they know how to service they at all . it be one thing to build one , but another thing to troubleshoot & fix 'em . I give 5 star for the product , not for the service , because I service all my own equipment so do not need they . do not take these thing apart yourself people unless you know exactly what you be do & experience . you can ruin or destroy they if you be not very careful & knowledgable .
308	Projector	POS	5	my previous experience with business projector be with heavy and clunky model that I haul from customer site to site , show presentation of one type or another . I be expect more of the same when I order this , although I hope it might be a little bit lighter . wow ! what a great surprise ! not only be this projector light -lrb- it weigh about 5 lb , about the same as some laptop -rrb- , the finish of it be wonderful - all of the corner be round off , mean a whole lot fewer snag nylons . it be a cinch to hook up to my MacBook , just plug and play through the usb port , and off we go . the software cd that come with the projector install with no problem at all . I find the display to be adequately bright , and the whites look white , not yellow as with my older projector . it also handle animated presentation with no delay , which be a big deal to I . all in all , I be delighted by this little guy . it be easy to travel with , and do everything I need it to do . it have a remote control , so I can set up the projector and give the presentation from anywhere in the room . -lrb- yes , my previous projector be that old ! -rrb- a carry case be available , but I find that a old laptop case work very well for I , although I would get the `` right '' case if I be go to travel as much as I once do .

I start off buy the Discovery Wonderwall projector for $ 70 and then promptly return it as the image quality be very poor -lrb- I could not read subtitle -rrb- and it be not bright enough to project a dark scene -lrb- e.g. the cave see in lord of the ring -rrb- even in a totally dark room . I then get the pt100 and feel that it work very well for be under $ 200 . it be a clear enough image that the subtitle in a movie be easy to read . however , when hook up to a pc the word on the desktop icon be not clear enough to easily read . it be bright enough that about 90 % of the detail can be see during dark scene -lrb- e.g. the cave see in lord of the ring -rrb- . it do need to be use in a dark room to have any quality . I would say the image quality be similar to VCR\/analog tv with the benefit of a small , lightweight package that be versatile and can project a large screen size .
121	Projector	POS	5	I scour the internet for month look for the right projector , and land upon this . I be look for something around $ 1k or less , which have 1080p re , long lamp life , good warranty , and that be good for gaming . I have be run this for almost 1000 hour and the picture be still like day 1 . the color be very well calibrate out of the box , that only require a slight amount of tweaking for you perfectionist . the black level , for a projector of this price be pretty good . it do not compare to a lead monitor , but for the size of screen you be get , who really care imo . I could have buy a 50 '' lead tv for the price of this w \/ screen include , and to this day would not have change my decision . a couple week into use the projector the lamp die and go through the warranty process for a replacement be quick and easy . no shipping charge and have the replacement bulb within 3 day ! the only thing that I have against this projector be it be placement flexibility . to really get the picture as crisp and spot on as it should be , you need a very flexible setup , like a higly adjustable mount or a adjustable table . I be rent so I can not mount it ; it be sit on a makeshift bench-table-thingy , lol which require I to set keystone to 1 with slightly unsquare edge . not the best but not the worst either . pro : - great color and calibration feature - crisp picture -lrb- more uniform if you can place it correctly -rrb- - no lag when gaming -lrb- a plus feature of dlp versus lcd projector -rrb- - great lamp life and warranty - very quiet fan when in `` low '' lamp mode - small size -lrb- way smaller than the EPSON 8350 -rrb- con : - no lense shift and high picture incline = somewhat difficult placement - slight `` rainbow effect '' I think it be call . the DLP chip use a 4x color wheel , not the 6x + you find on high end projector , which mean you can detect the seperate Red , Green and Blue project color sometimes -lrb- like if you move you eye away from the light quickly -rrb- . it be in no way distract for I , but if you be highly sensitive to it , go with lcd projector . before you consider this decide whether you want dlp or lcd . lcd produce higher black level -lrb- although I have read they be not produce as well as dlp 's -rrb- and do not have `` rainbow effect '' . however , dlp projector have better response time -lrb- beneficial when gaming -rrb- , which equate to smoother video . dlp projector do not show pixel near as much as lcd 's , and be much smaller in comparison . after this it be just a matter of find the right model . which bring I to ... get this projector ! it be a great value for the quality of image you be get . it be perfect for gaming on a big screen ! and video be great too of course . I would reccommend this for a screen size up to 110 '' . any more than that and you would need a projector with higher luman output . I have a 92 '' and I think it be perfect .
181	Projector	POS	5	on a `` tight '' budget for you home theater need ? that be I . I decide not to go above $ 1,500 between audio and video ... well , that be a bit unrealistic if you also count cable and setup , but the Optoma ezpro 737 will get you one step closer to you goal . here 's why . it be by far the best bang for you buck , among the sub - $ 2,000 projector . it boast DLP technology for a crisp picture , with a very decent 1800:1 contrast ratio and 1,500 ansus lumen which - along with the native xga 1,024 x768 resolution - make it a great solution for you projection home theater need . if you be not extremely critical , you will even find that it perform very well even if the room where you project be bright -lrb- during the day -rrb- , but I would recommend make sure you have proper blind or projection at night for best result . in any case , if you do not pick this projector , make sure you do not purchase anything that be under 1,500 lumen . ah ! do I mention that it support hdtv ? that be what the xga resolution be all about ! now , on to the hidden cost . since you will be mount on the ceiling -lrb- most likely -rrb- , unless you be extremely handy , count on some $ 400 - $ 700 in installation cost , which may only include labor for run cable to you receiver\/box plus the actual upside-down-mounting to have it hang upside down , etc. . as for you cable , depend on how far you need to run they , they may cost anywhere from $ 50 to $ 150 buck -lrb- tip : get the 50 ft m1-a to rca - component - extension cable from Dell for under $ 50 ! -rrb- all in all , this projector be the best thing I have find out there to meet all my video home theater need : quality image and support for hdtv , plus it will not cost you a arm and a leg -lrb- compare to almost everything else out there these day -rrb- . just jump into it know that you will have to spend some $ 600 or more to get it set up for good .
533	Projector	POS	5	I finally get around to remodel the bedroom and do a little over and beyond the `` honey do list '' . since we be remodel , my wife finally agree to a tv in the bedroom but do not want any wire , amp , speaker , ect . in the room to clutter up the new clean look . so I hang a flat panel with this Yamaha ysp-1100 under it . -lrb- I highly recommend the wall bracket for a application like this -rrb- . the sub be hide in a undisclosed location and yes I hide the wire . step 1 complete . step 2 require I to make it work and make it easy . the auto-calibration feature be a snap . my bedroom be rectangular and the ysp-1100 sound amazing ! there be sound come from all around the room but look honey , `` no speaker '' . I program it be `` my Beam '' feature and so when one of we nod off , the other can still watch tv and not get the `` can you turn it down '' line . well it pass inspection from the Executive Director of the Interior aka the Mrs ! bottom line , it sound amazing , look cool and I highly recommend it . in fact , now my condo-livin ' brother-in-law want one and yep , it be be add to he `` honey do list '' .
631	Projector	POS	5	this projector ia fantastic !! I make a giant screen use PVC pipe and a sheet and use projector to have a `` float in '' out by the pool . projector be bright , beautiful picture quality , convenient to use since the dvd player be part of the projector and easy to set up . the only down side be sound quality . the 10 watt speaker in the projector be just not loud enough to be hear around the yard . I attach speaker to system to get around this . but truly the picture quality and ease of setup make up for this tiny problem . this projector be well worth the money !!! I can not wait until superbowl roll around . I 'll have the biggest screen in town ! buy and enjoy summer night with friend and family .
145	Projector	NEG	1	UNFORTUNALLY I have to SAY that this item be the worst thing I have VER BOUGHT in MY LIFE , I do weekly presentation at work & GUESS what , I almost lost my job over this item , it work fine a COUPLE of TIMES & THEN IT just stop it just would ` nt do anything . please DONT BUY UNLESS you know HOW to fix it ... SORRY
280	Projector	NEG	1	these bulb be junk . the first one I buy blow in 3 day . they send I a replacement -lrb- Projector World -rrb- and it blow within 10 minute of install it . do not bother try to save money , it will be a huge pain in the long run and you 'll regret try to save any money .
696	Projector	POS	4	I will update this review after 6 month with the product . initial impression : Beyond expectation . wow ! silent operation . function well . very happy that I do not settle for 720p ! I use my projector as purely a tv replacement for my living room , display the htpc or xbox360 via HDMI . I project a 97 '' image at 11.5 ' from the ceiling onto a wall paint with Behr Silverscreen . even with a lot of ambient light , include ambient sunlight -lrb- though uv window film -rrb- , the picture be bright and viewable . of course , as you subtract ambient light , the picture just get phenomenally better as black quickly deepen and color come alive and pop . functionality wise , this unit be very simple . everything be well lay out and it respond well to the remote -lrb- same exact remote as my previous Viewsonic pj766d -rrb- . power-on and warm-up to full brightness take between 15-30 seconds , I would guestimate . source change be very fast . hdcp handshake seem to work perfectly . Default brightness be set to `` normal '' . `` boost '' be not a whole bunch of extra light , but it be noticeable if you see the mode change . this projector be QUIET . it have three big fan that move a bunch of air and a ton of heat , but it be just plain silent at any distance . this unit have really good black level for a entry level 1080p crossover projector . Colours be bright , vibrant , and appear to be very correct right out of the box ; I will not be tweaking any color until I repaint my wall with rs-maxxmudd . I be sure there be always something better to be have , but this be great ! minimal\/virtually no rainbow effect , even if you try to force see it , thanks to the new 6 -lrb- or 7 ? -rrb- segment color wheel instead of my old pj766d that have a 4 color wheel . resolution be , as expect , fantastic ! wonderful . out of this world . it take a little bit of back and forth to get the focus \* just \* right -lrb- have a helper be vital ! -rrb- , but once it be there , you can literally see a strand of hair on someone 's head while sit on the couch directly under the projector -lrb- 11 foot -rrb- . you can see that people actually have pore from that distance . dirt and sand be no longer just abstract definition for that muddy-brown or detail-less tan look stuff that people walk on or waft through the air . small , passive ` actor ' in the environment come alive when you step up to 1080p and have native content to display on it . even 720p native content look fantastic . I only suspect sharpness will improve once I sand my wall and have a smooth surface to deal project on to . 2 hdmus and 1 VGA be really the only input worth discuss in this day in age . I use both hdmi port via 25 ' BlueRigger cable , which work flawlessly -lrb- the cable and port -rrb- for hdcp handshake with Blu Ray movie from the HTPC . I would have like to see the VGA port swap out for a dvi-d or another HDMI port , or another digital option for connectivity such as DisplayPort . note : the BlueRigger cable I mention be very high quality , have a nice , soft flexible jacket that make it very easy to route thing and you also will not be fight a thick , heavy cable that be try to pull you projector out of alignment while it try to coil back up . and you can not beat the price ; I get 25 ' cable for $ 13 per here on Amazon . try find a 3 ' cable in retail store for less than $ 15 or $ 20 and you 'll find out what a great deal cable on Amazon be . pro : everything . brightness , contrast , black level , color , resolution , long lamp life , ease of lamp change , hdcp compliance , QUIET ! responsive remote . con : a little larger than I have expect , but I just do not do my homework on dimension . so , not really a con . as I note at the start , I 'll follow up after 6 month with the product . by which time it 'll be even more obsolete than it be already , but at least it should be lower in price and more available to people who want one , so maybe my update will help someone .
250	Projector	POS	5	I be very happy with this purchase . the projector screen be truly excellent . I like the fact that it come with two remote control . I also like that the you can stop the screen at any height you want . the motor be very quiet and you can hardly hear it . the screen really make the color of my Epson 8350 Home Cinema 1080p projector really come alive a show its 1080p capability . I make my family room a home theater and it really look amazing . I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that want a high quality electric projector screen . buy it and you will know exactly what I mean . excellent price and excellent quality . the Favi hd-150 projector be under-priced .
455	Projector	NEG	1	I just receive mine yesterday . it seem to work fine , however ... this morning the alarm do not go off . rather , the alarm did go off , I have it set to buzzer but simply be unable to hear it . here be why : the display dimmer control switch also control the volume of the Buzzer Alarm mode . this obviously be not intend during manufacture . the low setting of the dimmer control make the Buzzer Alarm BARELY audible , so faint that you have to put you ear very close to the unit to even hear it , and the high setting of the dimmer control seem to be the `` normal '' volume that should wake most individual . I be currently in contact with Timex await a response as to what exactly they intend to do about this major manufacturing boo boo . can you say ... recall ?
423	Projector	POS	5	if you be read this chance be you already a tech-head and know most of the specifics regard projector . I be in IT and be quite pleased so far with this model-for the price , you can not go wrong . although it be not `` full-hd '' , it be a fantastic multimedia gaming projector . I have it hook up to my custom build pc and via 1.3 hdmus and run NVIDIA 3d on it . I think this be where this product truly shine and if you be plan on integrate this into a pc setup for gaming and blu-ray , you be look at the right model in my opinion . and there now down to $ 560 ! this be a fantastic deal at $ 610 when I buy mine 3 month ago !
442	Projector	POS	5	soon after I purchase my favus projector I decide to start shop for a screen to go with it . I want something big that could also be easily store away . since I be happy with the projector I decide to give favus another try . this screen work great ! there be no set up require and the metal case be build right in so I can easily hide it away when its not be use . a huge plus for I so I do not have to look at a BIG 100-inch screen when the kid be not play wius or have a movie night with friend . a + + super happy so far : -rrb-
356	Projector	POS	4	this unit work great , the brightness isnt super high , but for the price and be able to have a huge screen on my wall be greeat !!
194	Projector	POS	4	this screen be a lifesaver for we . monthly we have to set up a conference at a remote location and the screen there be inadequate . this screen allow we to get as close to the subject as we want , as big as we need it and as quickly as possible . from travel size to full size in 6 seconds flat -lrb- we time it -rrb- and ready for business . would like the top rail to be a bit sturdier , but otherwise ... it be a winner .
825	Projector	POS	4	I buy this unit refurbish for $ 450 . I mount it to the ceiling and be use a samsung 6800 3d blu ray player for source via hdmus . pro : image quality be excellent as with most dlp 's have good black , color , sharpness brightness so this be good especially if you project on a huge screen in a large room not so good for smaller room . size be small for a better look theater enviroment . 3d ready 120hz you need a 3d blu ray player and a 3d converter like the optoma 3d-xl or Nvidia 3d vision with active glass fan noise be not too bad the unit do have standard and bright mode which the fan be faster in bright mode and slower on standard mode . price i get it for $ 450 it be go to be hard to beat this at that price or near it . color wheel 4xspeed con : zoom be minimal there be not a big window of error when place this projector . light leakage come from the front air vent and I have a black ceiling and I notice it if I have a light color ceiling it would even be worse . remote CONTROL I do not like the way it be design but it do function like it be suppose to . if you debate to buy this or the acer h5360 . if you can get the hd66 for $ 550 or under buy it . the hd66 have a faster color wheel 4x compare to 3x speed and a better contrast ratio 4000:1 compare to 3200:1 . the acer do have the darkchip 3 as the Optoma use the darkchip 2 , but the darkchip 3 can not even help pass the optoma 's contrast ratio so I think this spec be mute .
169	Projector	POS	5	I be interested in the Epson 8100 projector for my customer recommendation and , possibly , for myself . I be a isf -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- certify calibrator and I decide to do some research on the product . read through the review on other site and on Amazon , this projector be one of the best of it be class but ... I be take aback on the small but vociferous number of customer unhappy about the 4,000 hour rate lamp fail in as few as 400 hour . this make the product unusable for someone like I who have to recommend product and as a consumer ; the lamp be a expensive consumable at hundred of dollar to replace . worse , the customer complain that the 90 day warranty on this specific part do not match the two year overall warranty and after 90 day they be out of luck . now to sidebar , that kind of policy be just be cheap and , overall , \* stupid \* . one can not even use the projector bulb even close to that rate lifetime in 90 day ! 24 x 90 = 2160 ! how -lrb- place unflattering adjective here -rrb- be that ? back to the narrative ... I call up the pre-sale Epson customer support line today , 11-02-2010 . I be transfer to a gentleman that answer my question on this issue . ask about the report lamp problem , he relate to I that the policy be not correct and Epson warranty the product in its entirety for the FULL duration of the two year , lamp and all , and that it be even post at projectorcentral.com -lrb- I do due-diligence and look up the source and quote and be include below -rrb- I dig a bit deeper , and the rep related to I that the policy have change -lrb- although I do not ask for a specific date of they change of heart -rrb- and that some older machine would also have they warranty honor as well . he do mention to I the model , but I do not record they as I be only interested in a specific model . I ask he about the reason that Epson do not publish this information in other source besides projectorcentral like Amazon and the like . the reply be a fairly unsatisfactory answer that I will not go into here . but at least it be publish -lrb- below be the source and the info -rrb- . after ask a few tech question which he answer in a very forthcoming and friendly way , I close out the conversation . at least he be eager to assist and I be appreciative . take away : the product be cover for the whole warranty period . customer service , in this particular occasion , seem hammer by the question -lrb- s -rrb- on this but assure we that the product be indeed cover and also other model as well . ----- from projectorcentral.com -lrb- ... -rrb- . say Evan Powell , Editor `` I have speak to Epson about this situation . they have look into it and , like the dealer I talk to , they say they have not discover any aberrant issue . nevertheless , Epson want to ensure customer that it stand behind its product . therefore , Epson 's spokesperson have inform I that if you experience any problem with premature lamp failure on any Epson 1080p projector , you may return the lamp for a replacement lamp anytime during the life of the projector 's warranty . yes , you read that right -- premature lamp failure on any Epson 1080p projector will be cover for the entire duration of the projector 's warranty , not the lamp 's warranty . ''
451	Projector	POS	5	screen arrive undamaged which be the main fear i have , have to pay to ship it back for a rma would have suck . but that be not the case it arrive in perfect condition and be pack well . installation and setup be simple . Quality be good , do not feel cheap or flimsy . come with 2 battery power remote and a wall mount unit . the wall mount unit look kind of ugly mount on the wall with two thick white cable come out of it -lrb- especially with dark gray wall -rrb- but really no other way around that unless you run power through the ceiling . Picture quality be much better with the screen than the wall i be previously project on , cant really compare it with other screen but the picture quality seem fine to I . screen speed up\/down be slightly slower than expect , not a big deal though its all the way down by the time the projector finish start up . also relatively quiet as far as motor noise go . finally i be able to program it into my Logitech Harmony remote with no problem , add it to a activity and make it the first thing to fire . it will be down by the time the projector warm up and up by the time everything else shut off . really cant beat it for the price , plus free shipping with Amazon Prime . would definitely buy again or recommend to a friend .
97	Projector	NEG	1	I think this would be a good mount , and maybe it would be , if it come assemble . this crap come ship to I in a bunch of piece . the instruction be hard to understand , and just look at the first diagram , it be actually miss a part in the instruction . when try to assemble it accord to the instruction , some of the bolt be too short . the mixed bag of bolt and washer be also very difficult to identify which be which . in the end , I try every single possible combination and come to the conclusion that the bolt they send be WRONG . I would like to have the last hour of my life back which i waste try to assemble this piece of crap . they make this in China for $ 1 . do not buy it , go to home depot and figure something out for cheaper .
790	Projector	POS	5	I be a teacher and be use two version of this projector currently in my classroom , the ex7210 and the ex3210 . this review include both general information about the two projector and describe the difference between they . General review of the Epson Multimedia Projector : applicable to both model the projector itself be smaller than I expect . it be also reasonably light and come with a carry case for easy transport . as teacher who move from room to room the portability be handy . the carry case have a strap long enough to throw it over you shoulder , a real plus when you be juggle stuff between classroom . the case have a front pocket for the power cord and remote as well . the manual and cd -lrb- for extra info -rrb- be originally packed inside this front pocket of the case . input : the projector be absolutely idiot proof when it come to input . you can push the button that say source search and it will find where you be try to input and start display the information . light output : light output be strong enough that powerpoint presentation can be see with the projector 20 foot away from the screen -lrb- this be as far back as I can get it in the room in partially light room . partially light in this case be define as the overhead light be off but the three window do not have blind . the room be bright enough that the student can easily see they papers and take note -lrb- and I can see the student ! -rrb- . these projector put out 2800 lumen -lrb- a luman be a unit of visible light emit by a source -rrb- . the school have 1500 luman projector , which I rarely use because the light have to be all the way off for the student to see the projection , and that lead to trouble . sound output : it have build in speaker and they be loud enough for use in a room with 50 student but just barely . in the smaller room with 25 kid it be great . if you use it with a laptop I would suggest add some speaker for sound . noise and Heat : they hum . the fan whir . not very loud but it be audible . they get hot , and fast . this be one problem because you need to let they sit for a few minute after use so the fan can cool the bulb down before you unplug it . that mean I have to remember to turn they off a few minute before class end . if you be leave it in one place this be not a problem . if you have to run , it might be . difference : want to watch movie ? you want the ex7210 with the hdmus input . I see two main difference between the ex7210 and the ex3210 -lrb- besides the color -rrb- . the first be the input . the ex7210 have HDMI input and a higher resolution -lrb- 1280 x 800 for the ex7210 and 800 x 600 for the e3210 -rrb- . the difference be clearly visible . if you be use the projector for video -lrb- or show movie -rrb- the ex7210 definitely provide a clearer picture . project on a screen from 10 foot away movie be clear , sharp and very little pixilation be visible . just want to use it for presentation ? if you be use the projector for business presentation -lrb- powerpoint and such -rrb- the lower end ex3210 be plenty good enough . I have often be use it to project a grid onto the classroom chalkboard for graphing . I can then switch to the next image with the answer and the student can see if they solution be correct . this be a godsend , as it be difficult to graph on a chalkboard with any accuracy without a grid . the projector even have a setting for the chalkboard , which take into account its greenish gray color and counteract the color change . it be bright enough to project a clear grid . the only small problem be keep out of the way so you do not block the image . and other use the projector can also be use in science class to project a clear slide of one color of light to show color absorption and reflection . I know this be not what it be design for at all , but it work very well for this purpose . I simply make a image of the various color I want to compare and since the projector use lcd to make the light the wavelength be very precise . although this will probably not be useful for most user it do show you how clear a projection the device yield . other issue : I originally try to use the projector with really cheap -lrb- think less than a cup of high end coffee -rrb- 25 foot long hdmus cable . this cause some problem , with the signal drop out every once in a while . Digital be either all there , or not . with a slightly better -lrb- think two fast food dinner -rrb- 25 foot cable I do not have this problem . the replacement lamp be currently just over 160 dollar on Amazon . since it be rate for 40,000 hour that be a lot of science and math . I can not speak to the price\/value for these projector -lrb- as I only have these and the school one but they be a lot better than the school provide one . everybody want to borrow they , and since they be easy to move around it be simple to loan they out .
793	Projector	POS	5	in we business consultancy firm with 15 professional , do presentation be 60 % of we activity . this be we 8th Epson Projector and we love they . in fact we just buy another ex5210 as a backup . Easy to install , it accept any type\/brand of laptop graphic . most of we client react with a ` wow ' when they see the quality and sharpness of the project data\/colors . important reason for choose this projector be the low noise . this machine be a consultant best friend .
114	Projector	NEG	1	this device do nothing to live up to the description or previous review . First of all , if you want to use HDMI , you be stick with 4:3 ratio , so no widescreen movie or computer image . next , the keystone be extremely limit , so you have to have the unit sit almost perfectly level to you projection screen . also , the image be 100 % dependent on be in a very dark room . any ambient light from window or open doorway really affect the quality . finally , any video playback be poor due to a hard-to-focus picture and seemingly jerky movement . I unbox , test , and rebox this unit for return in about a hour .
907	Projector	POS	5	this be a very good projector for the price . the image quality be really great and you will have a good time with this projector .
614	Projector	POS	4	although the brightness in artificial light leave something to be desire it perform exactly as describe I have a clear 1080p image of 140 '' from 15 foot and i can carry it to and from work as need . at the price list i would definitely recommend this as a tv replacement , or a gaming accessory .
382	Projector	NEG	1	the first two people that praise this junk obviously work for the company that make it . a bic lighter throw more light that this weak projector . my unit 's HDMI port do not work -lrb- no sync -rrb- , the headphone jack do not work -lrb- even when the menu selection be set to line -rrb- , and the resolution suck -lrb- 640x480 - where as 800x600 should be consider a bottom barrel minimum -rrb- . the focus be not uniform from far leave to far right , and top to bottom . the construction look like a toy make in a third-world country . fortunately , I also order the LED Samsung 410 for less than $ 600 . my buddy have the p400 , and I be wow by it be picture quality . it do not have hmdus -lrb- the only real reason I buy this junk in the first place -rrb- , but now I could care less .
579	Projector	POS	4	very reasonable price for a good projector . Easy to use and very portable . Works well together with a portable public address system .
392	Projector	NEG	2	so I would have to agree with most of the post . I like the projector alot but I feel the 20,000 hour for the bulb be mislead . I probably use it 8 hour a day . I leave it on in the background quite a bit . with 20,000 hour why not ? I have have it for 13 -lrb- ish -rrb- month and I now need a new bulb . during startup within the first minute , the left hand side of the screen flicker then go halfway dark . I have contact Favi twice and have not hear back . language barrier ? I be post this because this be the whole reason I buy the projector in the first place . the bulb . besides the bulb I like it . it be be a great first projector . I hope to hear from Favi as I would like to fix this . I feel a little leave out in the cold as there be no replacement bulb available . if someone have a link to a replacement bulb please email I or post here . I hope this be not a disposable projector . Update 5-18-12 Favi do end up send I a new projector in the case above . no complaint , good help . but , I just have the bulb go out on I for the second time last night . this bulb go out on the new unit they send I after a year and 2 month -lrb- wait for favus the find my records\/respond -rrb- . so , when it say 20,000 hour on the bulb it be utter nonsense . I be either really unlucky or these bulb be not what they claim to be . so I buy this projector specifically because it have a lead , and I 'll never deal with bulb , be not work for I . I 'll update this review when I hear back . 14 year bulb life ? try 14 month like any other projector have be my experience .
152	Projector	POS	5	excellent project with enough brightness in the room with window . all function be work well as describe by Panasonic . Lighting remote control be helpful in dark room . it be definitely worth $ $ $ $ you pay for this project .
81	Projector	POS	5	this mount appear to be very well make , but it would not fit the projector that I have purchase . it look like it only work for the smaller size projector . I have to return for a refund and order a new mount from another site .
874	Projector	NEG	1	purchase this projector to use for a small project room setting . need to project power point presentation . the image be small and very blur . even the basic title page of the presentation be blurry . I return the projector and my search continue .
545	Projector	POS	4	I buy the pk301 in the middle of January , 2011 . as everybody here , I guess , I have be watch hour and hour of Youtube video and read thousand of word in review . in order to better help and explain my opinion to you , who be consider this projector , let I tell you keypoint : - I be a University teacher , and my main use be show simple graphic and text ; - my class have 40-90 student ; - most of my class be at night ; - I do not need sound and be not expect this pico projector to fill this task . so , YES , I can use it in a BIG room with 100 student . with the desk 5 to 6 meter away from the wall I can get a pretty decent big screen so they can easily read the text and see some graphic . -lrb- wall need to be white os whiteish - it be not good on a black-green board -rrb- . some people say it can not be use in a large room and I disagree . important : light need to be COMPLETELLY OFF . I try use this during my morning class and , as expect , the lamp do not have enough lumen to make the projection visible at daylight -lrb- but i know it and it be not bad for I -rrb- . the `` fan '' sound , which a lot of people say be too loud , be not a problem for I . even in a quiet room its sound be not loud or annoying . I watch a movie in my living room and with the film 's sound I could ' t listen to the projector cooler system -lrb- no , the external speaker I hook it up be not very loud -rrb- . what else ... hum , it get hot , really hot after a 1:45 hour of class . I think it be normal and predictable . the first few time I smell `` smoke '' . it cease after the third time I use the pk though . MY ONLY WARNING be : the VGA CABLE , AFTER LESS than 2 month of LIGHT USE be DEFECTIVE . projection get pink . if I hold the cable in as specific part -lrb- next to the ferrite -rrb- it stop . I have just send a email to Optoma . let 's see how it end . I recommend this equipment , some of my co-worker buy regular projector and I see they carry heavy and elephant-like unit to they class . here in Brazil we have a popular say for this . in English it sound like : '' -lrb- the other regular-sized projector -rrb- be cannon to hit a fly '' . IMO , for class , the pk301 be dead on . do not listen to people say it have not a good resolution or it have a poor contrast . it be a PICO projector . expect what be reasonable . I can live with it when I think I can put the whole set -lrb- remote control , cable , tripod , power-supply , unit itself -rrb- in my backpack add around 1kg to my back . bad thing overview : - OBVIOUSLY : poor quality VGA CABLE . bad CONTACT NEXT to the ferrite . WAITING for OPTOMA 's answer . - remote CONTROL HAD to be BOUGHT SEPARATELLY . OMG ... - tripod have to be BOUGHT TOO . seriously , Optoma . do you really think you user would mind pay , let 's say , 15 dollar more , include on the price , for a `` full set '' include the damn remote and a tripod ? omg again ... - power supply could follow the portable mentallity , right Optoma dude ? need to be smaller , but it be not bigger than the average one . - include cable be too short and have I alrady say tha one of they be defective ? good thing that make me SMILE OVERVIEW : - extremelly light , portable and small - sport a execellent construction -lrb- at least , look like - feel sturdy ... -rrb- ; - recognize the input much faster than other unity I have ever see -lrb- Samsung , Epson , 3M and BenQ -rrb- . in 8 seconds you be ready to go ! - quiet unit ; - good resolution for its size ; - good contrast for its purpose ; - several cable include to make you start -lrb- hope no other break ... -rrb- ; - micro sd slot work pretty well , so you can really go portable , leave you notebook at home and save you smartphone 's battery ; I recommend this item . but Optoma need to work with better cable supplier ...
72	Projector	NEU	3	well , let see here . I have this projector deliver to I in Kuwait , -lrb- US Servicemember station here -rrb- , and i be hope to use it for gaming in my tent . well , it accomplish this task , ide say 5\/10 . the color be bleached out , and after about 1 hour of playing , u get really tired and my eye hurt like crazy . but in the dark , movie be half decent , as well as powerpoint slide and such . i dont know , its a 200 $ projector , so how much can u expect ?
672	Projector	POS	4	this projector be great value for money , I live in the Caribbean , and have it ship , the only thing that i have a concern about be the delivery time frame . it take 30 day to get here , but it do not say that before I make the purchase . it say that only after you purchase and get the delivery information . this projector be awesome for it price range . it be best use in total darkness though , my kid and I have use it for movie and video game but it be better use for movie because it do not handle text very well even on the lower resolution . caption and subtitle show very well though .
620	Projector	POS	5	this product be over my expection . it be small and light . as well , the performance of this projector be really great . although I do not have any protable projector before , I think this one be the best so-far . I be glad that I make a good choice to purchase this projector .
836	Projector	POS	5	I be worry that the picture quality on this model would be lower the usual . it be a cheaper version of a lot of other . I be very nicely surprise when I turn this on . the quality be great . the first game be Grand theft auto , I love it . play on a screen that big be great and its picture quality be very good .
307	Projector	POS	5	I need a quality product to make professional presentation . I be not work so I need something that I could purchase that would not break I but that would show my potential client that I mean business . this product be it . I research for month and read a little over 50 review and go with this projector . it exceed my expectation . I even use it for a 3 day weekend seminar for over 500 people . she run great and have a clear picture in a light hotel conference room . I be utterly satisfied thus far . I have be use it for 6 month now .
507	Projector	POS	5	we have only have this for a month now . we get it as a replacement . it have a great picture . a lot brighter than we last projector .
31	Projector	POS	4	I be use the with my epson 8350 projector . it be work well so far . assembly be simple mount be not to bad . the good be that it be very adjustable . the con be that there be no fine adjustment . basically it be easy to get it in the ball park but if you be expect to be able to adjust the mount a millimeter you should go for a high end model . it work well for I and would not hesitate to suggest to anyone do a budget install .
36	Projector	POS	5	with purchase be very good . arrange all . color sate . it be focus well . the small . the convenient . as the screen I use a white wall , the picture do not spoil . about what still to write I do not know , but it be require twenty word .
243	Projector	POS	5	I be a little skeptical of 5 star review , but this mount most certainly deserve that ! I recently purchase a Planar Pd7060 , and be in need of a mount with good adjustment , due to my low drop ceiling in my theater\/basement . -lrb- the Planar do not have a lens shift ... -rrb- as mention in earlier review , the instruction be lack , but the build quality of this thing more than make up for the shortfall of the literature . I have to make a brace behind the ceiling tile outof 2x 's and that probably take longer to do than install the projector . I be very pleased with all the tilt , yaw , forward , back , and side to side adjustment that can be make . it be very easy to square the projector to the wall or screen you be project on ... it have a variety of bolt include for mount you projector , I do not need to go to Lowe 's or hd to pick up any thing ... my Planar have three mount point , and the mount have 2 set of 3 adjustable arm , that I be sure will work with almost any projector . W there be set screw in every adjustable pivot point to lock you setting in place . this thing will not move ! pricepoint and versatility be top notch ! I order the black version , but this be the same model .
421	Projector	POS	4	my previous projector be a sp4805 I have for many year . I decide to upgrade to the 8100 . I have have my unit for year and a half now . the projector itself be awesome . not a single problemwith the unit itself . amazing picture with good brightness and lot of bell & whistle . its easy to set up , easy to operate . the remote be very useful and easy to navigate . some people complain about the fan noise . yes you can hear it but not so loud to be a negative check to I . I guess it depend on where you have it place and how loud you listen to you sound system . the main problem be that it be blow bulb at 400 to 600 hour . they be suppose to last 4000 hour . Epson be aware of the problem and replace mine with no hassle and I get it promptly . I be on my 3rd bulb . I just call Epson and they take some info and ship it free and provide the label and packaging for its return . I realize this be not the greatest way to do thing . I agree Epson should recall these unit and get the problem fix . it be very inconvenient go thru the motion each time to get the bulb replace . although I buy the unit from best buy , I go thru Epson for the bulb . I love the unit and I guess as long as they keep replace bulb for free I 'll just keep on go at this point . but besides the buld problem its a great projector .
228	Projector	POS	4	if you want to play XBOX game in hdtv mode , the Xbox 's config screen wont appear on the InFocus x1 . the Xbox 's config screen be 480i and not 480p resolution . so the 480p game will appear in high resolution but you will not be able to see the config screen unless you connect the Xbox to a regular tv . the x1 support 480us out of the s-video port but not the svga port . if it be not for this annoyance , I would have buy this projector last year .
861	Projector	POS	5	top Quality ! Easy to install and strong enough to hold even the heaviest of projector . sturdy !
159	Projector	POS	5	thank you very much , this projector be really awesome . the picture clarity be good , and the shipping be fast too thank you very much . ill keep on order from you guy and tell other to order from you guy too ...
512	Projector	POS	4	this product so nice and perfect 3M pocket projector mp 180 remote control be as mention by the dealer and suppler its the right choice for you its amazing tool for datum show
863	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector for watch movie and video game , and its do remarkably well . the picture be clean and crystal clear . the HDMI port make you blu-ray connectivity easy . this projector be 3d ready as long as you have the appropriate glass , i cant wait to see how Avatar be go to look on my 4 by 7 1\/2 foot screen . it come 2 day early and snugly pack in a box . I do not notice any of the `` color wheel effect '' Great buy . the UPS driver leave a $ 700 projector sit on my front lawn , so make sure you be there when it arrive . UPDATE : Avatar look astonishing !
331	Projector	POS	5	this past Thanksgiving , after much prayer , and beg to my wife I be finally able to complete my home theater . I have have the opportunity to try out many projector through the year , always hope one day I would find the perfect one : good contrast and resolution with multi-capability such as computer , s-video , all the way down to RCA plug-in . also it have to have huge `` bang-for-the-buck '' factor . I be not disappointed ! this projector by NEC be surprising in many way . they pack it with a cool , very simplify , remote . plus , they throw in a extra computer cable so you can plug it right in . nice . it be very light at 7lb and the brightness of the 1500 ansus lumen soak the screen to display vividly sharp detail . I have try out many film so far to test its quality : fast and the furious , Nemo , a bug life plus other . none have any problem . computer animated film sparkle on this machine . there be a fan within the projector to keep down the temp . most people decide on purchase depend on the loudness of the fan alone . gratefully , it be amazingly quiet . once you turn it off it blow in high gear for about ten seconds then its do . here be the catch : you have to want a big picture . the projector do come with a easy zoom function to control picture size , but the kicker be , with it be fifteen foot away from the screen the smallest the image can get be 6ft wide \/ 5ft tall . many may worry about dvd artifacting or pixelization at that size , but again , no worry . at 15 foot the image could easily be 10 foot across if I so choose . nice , once more . if you decide on a projector that have vivid color detail and large picture capability , even with the light on , look no further . like I say , I have test many through the year , some cost five to ten thousand dollar , you will find very little difference between they and this power pack machine . hat off to NEC . ~ sao ~
597	Projector	NEG	1	the VIVITAR 5000 arrive with the inner , MANUFACTURERS BOX , UNPROTECTED FROM the outer SHIPPING CARTON . both carton be intact ; HOWEVER , I assume it WAS drop very hard from a CONSIDERABLE HIGHT ... three of the four lens in the projector be knock OUT of THEIR BRACKETS and LOOSE in the VIVITAR ASSEMBLY RENDERING the projector completely inoperative . contact the shipper BROUGHT IMMEDIATE STATEMENT that it would be pick up at MY HOME ASAP BY UPS for RETURN and the send of a new unit . I hope they pack it more carefully . the CONTACT PERSON say it be carefully pack . I be sure it be supposed to be BUT in REALITY IT WAS NOT ! I have hear that both FEDEX and UPS in THEIR CONVEYOR BELT SORTING HAVE TRANSITIONS with DROPS of 2 FEET or more in the process . THIS REPORT be SECOND HAND BUT one COMPANY -lrb- MAKING HIGH FREQUENCY AMATEUR BAND LINEAR AMPLIFIERS -rrb- say 40 % of THEIR SHIPPING of AMPLIFIERS be arrive severely damage that THEY HAVE resort to PUTTING THEIR AMPLIFIER CARTONS ON PALLETS for more gentle handle by the FREIGHT COMPANYS .

667	Projector	POS	4	first , let I say , I would have give this projector 4.5 star if the rating be available . basically , it be a really good projector . it have everything you need , and the picture quality and brightness be really good . however , this unit be really big and not just a little ugly . I mean , I suppose the picture quality be the primary objective , but could not they have make it just a little prettier ? it do not actually look that much worse than other unit in shape , etc. . but it be huge , which make the utilitarian appearance stand out . also , it be white . which mean that if you want to use it as part of a home theater setup like I , it be more visible in a dark room . ugly and more visible make a bad combination . I be really happy with my projector . I be sure I 'll get a lot of use and satisfaction from it . but the first thing that go through my mind everytime I look at it be : `` wow ! that be a big , ugly projector ! ''
65	Projector	POS	5	this projector have tremendous quality for its price . no , refresh rate issue , great resolution on VGA hookup , focus and zoom work well , and lot of digital setting to get you desire color and size . only con be the video-in jack . this seem to be a bit fuzzy and opposite color that be close together : like orange and blue stripe : will sometimes blend in movement . other than that I be very satisfied : -rrb-
480	Projector	POS	4	great picture great price . Picture doesnt fade when light be turn on . the bad thing about this projector be no button on the projector -lrb- just a remote -rrb- and no audio source ! I return it because of this reason .
445	Projector	NEG	1	my husband buy this projector for we daughter from CVS for $ 100.00 + tax and be so not worth it ! we have only have it for a day and it already shut off on we . it be not even over heating or hot at all ! this thing be crap ! not a good buy at all . now my girl be bummed because they cant enjoy they movie night like they plan to . highly disappointed !
460	Projector	POS	5	the new projection lamp come in as request and within the estimate delivery date . I install the lamp but have difficulty get a picture from the tv so I call technical support at Sony and they walk I through the issue . there be a door on the side of the tv in which the lamp be insert . if that door be not shut a certain way , there be a sensor that will not allow the tv to turn on . after that the tv work just fine . the lamp be a great deal and I definitely would do this again .
561	Projector	POS	4	i purchase this product and the size be great easy to carry , its lighter then a iphone 4 and its smaller then the iphone . and the picture qualitly be pretty good for something this small and the battery last a while , BUT here where my good review go bad . i can not connect it to my iphone ... and that the only reason why i buy it . and the other reason this review be bad be because there be no volume control on it and the speaker be horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible quality . but i buy a external av cable for my phone and now it work so im pretty happy with this product
681	Projector	POS	5	I like product that be as simple as possible and require very little set up time . I be able to get this up and run with my computer within 3 minute without even look at the user guide . when I start stream a movie from Netflix , the picture be a crisp 70 '' movie-theater quality picture -lrb- really crisp when I turn off the light -rrb- . I be really glad I buy this instead of a lcd screen . the basics : - come with a VGA connector for you computer - you do not need to buy it separately - it be incredibly light at 5 lb - very portable - the cord to connect it to the power supply be pretty short -lrb- estimate at 3-5 foot -rrb- , so you might need a extension cord depend on where you put it in you room - no speaker - you 'll need separate speaker . I just buy Sony gaming speaker to connect via usb to my computer for a full home theater experience
320	Projector	POS	5	buy for Iraq deployment ... awesome 5 ' + screen on the wall of my CHU -lrb- trailer -rrb- . definitely need external speaker\/headphones , but in a darkened room the picture be great .
952	Projector	NEG	1	shift3 light blast entertainment projector  and of course just my luck the store only give you 30 day to return a defective product so now i be stick with 2 non work projector , also to my surprise there be no info on trouble shooting on line anywhere !!! my only option be to go after the manufacture `` MerchSource , LLC '' and try to get a refund or exchange .
918	Projector	POS	4	this be a very good projector mount . I have a very difficult install ahead of I -lrb- low basement ceiling , with a support beam block my projector view on the ceiling -lrb- I have to mount the project behind the beam to get my 106 '' image -rrb- . needless to say , this be not go to be a easy install to get the image line up without the beam interfere -lrb- and I have a dlp projector with not many placement option and limited zoom -rrb- . long story short , this mount work . I would have like the three twist screw that connect the projector to the mount to be more flexible without have the projector come loose -lrb- which it do a few time -rrb- . make the ever so fine adjustment be a bit difficult since I could not get a screwdriver in there be only a few inch below the ceiling . I eventually use a drill bit and vice grip to do the job . again , this be about a difficult install as you could probably do and this mount do the job . in most people 's install , you can adjust the arm alone and achieve great result ... I have to use everything I could do to get this to seat perfectly . I highly recommend the mount and I would be surprise if this could not meet you installation need . fit and finish be excellent and the mount will not budge once properly tighten -lrb- which be good because I do not look forward to adjust my projector anytime soon -rrb- .
789	Projector	POS	5	upgrade from the ae2000 , well worth it . the color and black level be noticeably improve over the 2000 , especially the red . brightness seem better but my old projector have 2000 hour on it so the bulb have dim some . nothing better imo this side of $ 4000 , can not go wrong with the pt-ae series .
373	Projector	NEU	3	I be finally able to get the projector work with my MacBook -lrb- run Lion -rrb- after the support team send I the latest driver for the usb link . this process be quite frustrating yet I must say the fix work the first time . overall ok for customer service . pro : - display be very bright - the ability to adjust color be important as well and intuitive . - menu be simple and intuitive . - once customer support be actually engage , it work well . con : - I have a great deal of difficulty with initial installation with my MAC - despite the claim of ` it work right out of the box ' it do not . os x Lion have be out for over a year - why be they ship with a old driver ? - video playback for YouTube and DV file from my hard drive be choppy . the frame rate support by the projector be far from ideal . I find it quite noticeable . when I look at the computer screen the playback remain clear and chop-free . not sure what the issue be here , but this be a definite detractor . I need to test with a dvd and see if this be true for that as well . I will update when that test be complete . Update on pay a dvd from my MacBook : the dvd screen be a mass of gray and white square - no picture of the movie at all . I email customer support for assistance . - customer support get right back to I - which be great , but the the advice be to use the VGA cable to fix the issue I have . this show a basic lack of understanding of my system . MacBook do not support VGA cable , so they advice be useless . - customer support once again reply a couple of day later and advise I to purchase a adapter for the VGA cable to ensure that dvd playback on the MacBook would function properly . once again , I find this a less than desirable solution . it be not like mac be ` strange ' - VGA be old technology , it be time to update people ! I be reduce my review to three-stars base on this experience . overall - for the price - a very solid projector for business application . I can not recommend it at this point for entertainment application as the video playback be simply not up to par .
548	Projector	POS	5	Great little projector . I have have it for a day and I believe you need nothing else if you be look for a small , light and very portable projector . 300 hundred lumen be more than enough for anything you may want . a good set of connection cable -lrb- short , like 18 inch -rrb- . in my case I get a 120 inch screen from 3.5 meter from the wall . excellent quality . only complaint be sound , but any speaker system will do the trick . I recommend this to anybody who be look for a portable projector .
959	Projector	POS	4	buy this think that the remote controlled powerpoint slide show . the projector arrive before the estimate delivery date -- which be when I realize it do not have that feature . if you do not need that feature -lrb- I 'll accept blame for not research it better ! -rrb- , this seem to be a pretty well make -lrb- albeit basic -rrb- projector . I call they customer service for info -- the person I talk to be very helpful and knowlegable . I be impressed . I return the unit and purchase a different one , again , on Amazon .
930	Projector	POS	5	wow , this screen be enormous and easy to set up . I may end up building something a little more low-profile in the way of a stand because the tripod take up a good 30inch behind the screen . we have a `` okay '' quality digital projector for we computer and it take 20 ' from back of tripod to back of projector for we to fill the screen .
198	Projector	NEU	3	I like this projector for its size . 8oz be so small , easy to carry , and fit anywhere . everything that come with it be great , and it come quickly . initially , it have a large , sharp picture . however , soon after receive it , dead pixel begin to appear to the point it be unusable . currently , it be be fix under its warranty . sorry I can not give any more information as to how that turn out ...
136	Projector	POS	5	I want a projector which would provide the easiest possible use . - ie plug-in and project with minimum effort or technical know-how . this projector be do just this . the adjustment be to the finger tip and within minute the set up be complete . it be lightweight and provide a clear picture and can be use wth a mac or pc . it work exactly as the manufacturer have promise .
240	Projector	POS	5	I buy the hc4000 as a replacement for it be older brother hc3800 -lrb- damage in a lightning strike -rrb- ... the family line have a good gene pool - super price\/performance value
3	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector to use on a recent business trip . Works as advertise . nice and portable ; love that it run off a battery . I do not have experience with other projector in this category , but I be very pleased with the brightness and clarity of the image . one bit of warning : the stand that come with it suck . the thread be defective -lrb- do not thread into the projector -rrb- , and the leg would not stay in position . luckily , I have another desktop camera stand that I be use with it . I would avoid the `` spider-leg '' type stand . overall , very pleased with the device .
595	Projector	POS	4	I be not a techie , but I do like technology , especially if it do what it be make to do well and do not cost a arm and a leg . I think I would be very pleased with this projector if I do not already have the ViewSonic PJD5123 projector , which be cheaper and in my opinion do a better job project video . this be what I mean . before I receive the Epson product to review , I have buy the ViewSonic , because I would use that model at work and I really like it . so , when I get the Epson , I immediately set they up side by side to compare they . basically , the projection quality be very similar , and they share similar function and option . however , there be a noticeable difference in the color quality . while the Viewsonic be consistently bright and have bold color contrast , in comparison the Epson 's projection look light and wash out , with the black too prominent . if I do not have the Viewsonic to compare side by side , I think I would not have mind that . and I do play around with the different color function on both machine . Viewsonic look better to I each time . though this color issue be really the only problem -lrb- that really be not a big problem -rrb- that stand out , I would still recommend this projector . keep in mind that it be only noticable because I be compare they next to each other . I also like the slide cover and the slim look .
977	Projector	NEG	1	buyer beware ! after only 10 or so use , white dot start appear all over the screen until finally you could not see a thing . when it be work tho , the image quality be fine , although it need close to zero light in the room to be enjoyable . so buy this only if you have a really dark room , only need it for about a month or so , and have money to spare .
383	Projector	POS	5	I purchase this mount after read the review for use this mount with a Epson 8350 . I take the advice of other in order to locate the balance point of the mount . also , like other , I be only able to use 3 of the 5 mount hole . however , I be able to mount the projector and it work very well . it take a little adjust to get it level and solid but I be able to do it . I do want to use all 5 mount as I want to be sure the projector be securely hold . I find the Atdec website and send a message to customer service ask how I would go about purchase two additional long extension . I be very pleasantly surprise when the customer service representative reply that he would send they to I no charge if I would provide my address . now that be outstanding customer service !!!! highly recommend this mount !
627	Projector	POS	5	just like everyone else i do my own research for week . be debate on a 1080p device or 3d ready device with 720p . come down to this sucker and i aint look back ! personally i like be amaze and on top of be amaze i like save money = -rrb- . that be say this be the perfect projector for I to get because i of course take advantage of its 3d processor ! i buy the viewsonic vp3d1 converter and it work great ! i first test it out with my xbox 360 but have some trouble at 1st because my output setting be at 1080p and this device -lrb- viewsonic vp3dus -rrb- only read 1080us . once i switch the setting to 1080i the projector also allow the 3d option to turn on . as far as the quality of this projector its brilliant ! good for day and night setting . color be awesome and quality be good as well . use through hdmus port which native be 720p 20mhz but with the viewsonic converter it automatically convert it to 1080i 60mhz . only when its actual 3d content will it then display it at 720p 120mhz . as far as the glass i buy the optoma dlp lnk hz1 . my testing be still not complete as i still have to get a blue ray 3d player . im very impressed and satisfied with my curent set up . in all great 3d home theater set up for $ 1k
449	Projector	POS	5	Compact and light weight , this be aim squarely at the travel business person who need to make presentation while travel , but it be also a handy general purpose projector , if you can accept a few limitation in exchange for the low price . pro : very compact , low price , excellent image quality , good color , good build quality , easy to use , good remote con : no hdmus input , remote not backlit the high lumen mean this projector be very bright and can be use in a room with a fair amount of ambient light . a step up from the 800x600 210 model , the 310 's 1024x768 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio be fine for present and for dvd 's , gaming , and many video format . it be equivalent to 720p hd -- higher resolution than standard dvd video -lrb- 640x480 -rrb- and fine for streaming video , divx , home video , photo , and similar use . it be very well suit for laptop video game with a mid-level graphic card as well . you get Epson build quality and reliability , long bulb life , good out of the box color , instant on\/off , usb instant play -lrb- for photo , presentation , and pc display , but not suitable for video -rrb- , and VGA -lrb- good for pc Video and general display purpose -rrb- . you get vertical -lrb- but not horizontal , that be reserve for the more expensive 315 model -rrb- lens shift and lot of tweaking option -lrb- most of which you will not need -rrb- . this unit be very quick and easy to set-up and use , and quick to shutdown and pack up as well . I use the VGA input to connect my laptop to the projector , everything work fine and be quick and easy to setup . projector detect the video signal and the auto config work as expect . I project a 84 '' -lrb- diagonal -rrb- image use ECO mode -lrb- lower power\/brightness , less noise , longer lamp life -rrb- and leave the auto iris on -lrb- better black -rrb- . I do not need to make any adjustment to color , everything look good to I . the image quality be excellent for the price . for business purpose , it be very good . for home media , it be acceptable and , at this price , very decent . the black be not `` inky , '' but the image be bright and colorful . also a good choice for gaming via the VGA connection . there be no hdmus at this price , not a issue for business use , but it mean you 'll have to use component output to the VGA input connector via a special cable -lrb- not include -rrb- for best quality dvd\/movie video . no usb cable be include , either , which be a bit lame in my opinion , but , hey , look at the price ! verdict : the basic idea here be to deliver a good quality , budget projector that feature Epson 's key image and build quality , and basic feature , at the lowest cost possible , I believe Epson have hit the target and that these projector will be quite popular . I have raise my initial 4 star rating to 5 star base on my test and performance vs. cost -lrb- i.e. bang for the buck -rrb- . a excellent business projector and a handy all-around projector when use with a laptop or desktop pc via the VGA connector . --------------------- Update 2011-12-01 : photo and Art image look very good to excellent . there be plenty of detail , very bright , fairly sharp , wonderful color fidelity , and overall great image quality . I also do some limited testing to see how this unit would work with streaming video for casual movie watch -lrb- e.g. netflix , Amazon Instant video , etc. -rrb- . image quality be very acceptable . Blacks be decent , thing that be black , look black . this be no match for a good home theater unit , no inky black and `` pop '' here , but a very decent and eminently watchable image . would be great for sport , I be guess . I watch some Netflix film and they look very good , dvd quality plus\/minus depend on source . the Amazon video I watch -lrb- Firefly non-hd -rrb- be a bit lower in quality , but still acceptable . some native video -lrb- i.e. play from laptop hard drive -rrb- look great , near or better than dvd quality , YouTube video be pixellate due to they low resolution , but the higher rez look ok . -lrb- on a 84 '' image , you be go to notice block and pixellation w\/youtube and other lower quality source , so keep that in mind . -rrb- I use blutooth speaker or headphone for audio - do not bother with the projector audio . all in all , it be fun and I be very pleased with the result . I think many would be perfectly happy with this projector for casual movie\/video use -lrb- just do not compare it to a moderate to high-end HT unit -rrb- . the wonderful hbe -lrb- human brain effect -rrb- take over after awhile and you do not really notice any image quality issue . perfectly enjoyable and very inexpensive by comparison . also very easy to set-up and put-away . I project the image on my light beige wall and even that look pretty good . the auto iris do click a bit occasionally -lrb- as with most other unit -rrb- , but you can turn it off if this bother you . it improve the black a little bit , noticeable , but not a dramatic change . if you do not get too hang up on the lower resolution -lrb- vs. the newer 1080p unit -rrb- , moderate screen door effect -lrb- never bother I at all -rrb- , you 'll have a lot of fun . and , at current price , this be hard to beat in term of fun\/dollars spend .
244	Projector	NEU	3	buy this packet of item because of the Amazon recommendation `` people who buy this -lrb- productx -rrb- buy -lrb- producty -rrb- . '' however , it still sit in a box and have not be open . I be probably go to return it or gift it . I just do not see a need for it and think it be a bad recommendation on Amazon 's part .
972	Projector	POS	4	I have be enjoy the projector and it be easy to use . I have it hook up to my dishnetwork and dvd player and now I have a whole wall for a monitor , also use it with my computer . I have no problem use it and it have be great . now I be just wonder what the life of the machine , I hope along time but it be worth the money .
785	Projector	POS	4	even though the Epson Movie Mate be a older version , it fit into my need perfectly . I have no problem with the seller . e-bay and Amazon.com be a great service .
962	Projector	POS	5	buy this for my husband for father 's day . he love it !! the picture and sound be amazing . we use it with a outdoor 120 inch screen , but we have also use it with a bed sheet . the picture be great either way . my husband have hook we cable box to it and watch television on the 10 foot screen !! we use it alot and have no complaint at all !
135	Projector	POS	5	the package be real long , but that be obvious consider the one I order be 120 '' ! the whole thing be in two part : the tripod portion and the screen portion . the tripod be a easy setup and the screen snap in with ease . the quality of the material be fine and it do not appear to have any flimsy part to it . this product be easy to setup and tear down -lrb- you can set it up and tear it down in a minute , seriously -rrb- . the white portion of the screen be bright and the screen material be good quality . I highly recommend this !
370	Projector	POS	5	I buy this mount after read the review and be a little edgy about it because of the `` one star '' review i read that say it might just drop from the ceiling ... well before i hang my projector from it I actually grab onto it and hang with the full 140LBS of MY BODY WEIGHT and it slip about 1\/4 '' and then CAUGHT . I notice that if you turn the slide height adjustment bar upside down it will slip off so make sure you put that bar on the right way -lrb- try it both way , the right one will be obvious -rrb- if you install it correctly you really cant beat this for the money . it be a must that you be somewhat mechanically incline . . if you unsure , have a friend on hand for second opinion and to help you hold everything steady . once its up its easy to make adjustment and it look sweet !
676	Projector	NEG	1	it be my own fault for not try it and return it immediately . when I get this I wait around two month before I even plug it in . however , it have never be able to sync with either of my two pc , a VISTA and a window 7 . I be very adept mechanically and can not figure this out . I have use many projector , so I be surprise this one just seem enigmatically complicate or it be simply just a mechanical reject . the lamp fire up , the fan purr , yet no matter what I do to get it to sync , all I get be a pale blue screen that read `` not synce . '' DUH !!! tell I something I do not know . and ... there be no manual , no online documentation , download or forum . I have contact favus entertainment and I 'll let you know what they solution be once they get back to I . advice : : : pay a few dollar more for namebrand quality . I be afraid I be out $ 250.00 -lrb- price in 2010 -rrb- . a expensive lesson ...
309	Projector	POS	5	its a awesome little device . its small , have a hdmus port right on it , and it host my western digital passport like a breeze , and play most media from my drive with no problem . also , its plenty bright for standard bedroom operation - even during the day with average window cover . at night its startlingly bright for its size . and it be sturdy - no move part besides the fan . it be take a tumble once or twice as someone would foolishly trip over a cord , and it suffer no loss of performance . con -lrb- worth mention , but not worth pass it up for -rrb- : the remote control - its a bit of a mess , intuitive-wise . get around its menu be a chore . the itir receive port be on the back of the projector , where I find myself not be positioned - far to often . some of the best place and way to position this projector leave the remote out of line-of-sight . and of course , you would better not lose the thing , because many of the projector function can only be access with the remote control . I velcroe mine to my projector in the hope that it would keep they together . so far , so good . the power adaptor - its huge . its nearly as big again as the projector itself . kinda sour the pleasure of have such a amazing compact projector when you realize you have to lug a big brick around too . and contrary to my original thought , the projector have no battery of its own , only ac power . all that say , its still the best , most versatile product of its kind and the best bank for one buck in this category . it always work .
701	Projector	POS	4	I be worry when I read the review for this product . I own a Epson Home Cinema 8350 , after search a bit I find the extension piece -lrb- that should come with this mount , but it do not -rrb- :  VideoSecu White Projector mount extension adaptor only for brand VideoSecu Projector Mount W53  the 2 rod will not reach the right 2 hole . I purchase only 1 extra extension and it fit perfectly along with the 3 other rod in a 1 center , 2 leave , 1 right configuration . if you want a 2 left , 2 right configuration for the screw , I recommend buy two extension . either way make it quite stable . so far so good with the ceiling mount . it say it can hold up to 44lb . the 8350 be only 16lb , so we will see how it hold out . assembly be simple , need a philip screwdriver -lrb- not include -rrb- , and a Alan wrench -lrb- include -rrb- . good buy .
177	Projector	POS	5	if you be in the service -lrb- I be currently deploy in Iraq -rrb- , here 's why this projector be useful for you : fun : play movie and game to entertain you buddy . look great in you CHU , a dark room , or even on a t wall at night . portability : projector in case with power adaptor fit in you cargo pants pocket . Professionalism : you can set up a power point presentation without a computer . usb drive connect in the back and use the remote to advance slide . the current plan be to make a portable movie system . Vivitek state that you can use the xpal xp18000 to power the projector for 2 hour . I order that and will update this review once I try it out . I also buy the monster clarityhd bluetooth speaker for audio because the build in speaker be not good .
466	Projector	POS	5	we have search for several month for a screen that stay within we budget and provide the quality of screen find in much more expensive screen -lrb- I use projector screen of various size at work -rrb- . the FAVI screen do a great job and be easy to install for my husband and myself . we install right into the drywall -lrb- with use of drywall anchor -rrb- since no stud be nearby to keep the screen center on the wall . to spend only $ 257 be a incredible price . we have watch movie every evening for about a month now . we read earlier review with one person go on and on about the smell after they unpack the screen . it do off-gas for a day or two but not the 2 week or so as they claim . we have pair this with the Optoma Game Time Projector which be portable and do not need extra speaker unless you just want to add they . we also add a Apple TV device -lrb- $ 99 -rrb- to stream movie from we Netflix account as well as many other service the Apple TV device bring to the screen . we have also learn how to mirror we iPhone 4 and ipad 2 and later through the Apple TV device onto the big screen which be accomplish wirelessly and show anything you iPhone 4 or ipad2 can deliver whether it be app , movie , text , or email .
267	Projector	POS	4	this projector be super cheap , compare to other . buy it for less than $ 100 and it be good . it be a good projector for those who want to play game inside they house at night but a bad projector for outdoor event . I use it for movie and game night at my dorm at my college and it be good , all my friend like how the image be big on the wall , and still use it . I would recommend this projector only for inside and night time use , will not work at all outdoors , try it and the image be just to blurry .
690	Projector	NEG	1	I do not know if the problem be with the accessory kit or my projector , but I still have problem get my Iphone 4 to work with my Optoma projector .
845	Projector	POS	4	compare to the price , this projector be the best one . the only problem I have notice in this projector be the picture be a bit grainy . but not too much .
289	Projector	NEG	2	I suffer from dlp rainbow effect so have to go with a lcd unit . color be not as vivid and with the lower contrast ratio video image be not as good as dlp model . `` screendoor effect '' be extremely noticable especially in white\/bright area of video . do not be fool by the advertisment that this accept component video signal -lrb- which give you the best possible image -rrb- . I purchase a vesa adapter to connect via component video to the monitor connection on the unit . it do not work . after some research , I find that you can only use Epson 's adapter to make it work which run $ 100 . now , be I go to get $ 100 worth of image gain over s-video ? i do not think so . do not buy this if you want to connect via component video . i read that Epson be the only company that do not use the standard adapter . I also receive a brand new unit with a dead pixel , which i read be pretty common for lcd projector over time but i do not expect it fresh out of the box that way .
430	Projector	POS	4	the light blow out on my projector . this product be exactly as specify and just what I need . quick delivery time . thank you
389	Projector	POS	5	AAXA Technologies do a great job with this micro projector , its too big to be consider a pico projector and it put out more light than any pico projector I have ever see . the build in media player be alright although it do have some room for improvement . I have no problem use the small remote that come with it . the fan make noise but its well within the range that I expect for a projector , much quieter than many of the larger projector that I have use in the past . after nearly a year of use it be still work as good as the day it come off the fedex truck . I use it with a Epson Duet 80 '' screen  Epson Duet 80-Inch dual Aspect Ratio Projection Screen , Portable 4:3 and 16:9 Aspect Ratio Screen -lrb- elpsc80 -rrb-  it have travel almost everywhere I have since I get it and I still love watch movie on it whenever I can . if you be sensitive to DLP 's rainbow effect , this may not be the projector for you since it use a liquid Crystal on Silicon display which be similar to dlp ... no screen door effect like lcd projector have . sd-hc compatible , I have use it with my 32gb RiData Lightning class 10 card , can also be use as a card reader when connect to a computer via usb . lead power display so no bulb to have to change within the lifespan I expect to get out of this projector . come with a cheap gorilla-pod style tripod that be far to flexible to support the weight of the projector , a standard Photography tripod work beautifully especially when use it with the Epson Duet screen . the build in speaker be more of a after thought than anything else , use good speaker or headphone with this projector . have all the cable you might need with the exception of hdmus in the box , but I can honestly say I have never use this with hdmus . the VGA cable be short but I have no problem when use it with a extension cable or a DVI to VGA adaptor cable . the only display equipment I own with a composite input , which work great with a old Nintendo Game cube that be just collect dust in a closet before I get this projector . very portable , best in class brightness , compact full featured portable projector that travel nicely with my laptop or ipad . I would recommend and have recommend this projector to anyone who travel frequently ... I even remember demo it to someone while wait for a plane in the Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport .
362	Projector	POS	4	I purchase this clock with the intention of use the soothing sound to fall asleep too . but now that I have this clock there be so many other feature I love about it . good : - two alarm setting that you never have to touch ! simply set you day and a time and the alarm set itself every night . no worry about forget to set it the next day . - soothing sound be nice to fall asleep to - Projection clock be really nice . I think I would never use it , but i project the time on the wall , super nice ! - flashlight have a automatic feature that turn on if the power go out - self setting time , no need to program it bad : - very bright . it do have a dimmer , but it be not even close to dim . so if you be sensitive to light , be warn . I just turn my clock away and use the projection on the wall - I only like one of the four soothing sound , so it be not really bad , but I have higher expectation overall I really like this clock !
616	Projector	POS	5	I love this projector picture be awesome and the 3d look great . be planning on use this only when watch 3d movie but this have become my main tv . have a 100 inch screen be great . you will not be disappoint with this purchase .
141	Projector	POS	4	I be not expect much from this projector for the price . it turn out to be better than I think . although this be by no mean a toy , it still be limit in what it can be use for . it can be fun for kid to watch cartoon or movie since kid do not generally care about image quality . that be not to say that the quality be bad . it be pretty good actually . it can be compare to a CRT tv . the lamp be on the dark side . it will not be enough if you want to project a image larger than 60 '' . pro : Projector can actually be use as a portable tv . it be very light and small in size , plus it use a ac adapter . it will last long due to the led light . for the price , you will not find a better projector . con : the only thing that be bad about the projector be the focus ring . the ` sweet ' spot be difficult to reach if you project a large image . and you do have to refocus every now and then because it can unfocus with time .
879	Projector	NEG	1	remote never work and for some unexplained reason which ever computer connection use on two different window 7 system it would connect then in a matter of about 60 secound disconnet , go look for another connection , come back and select the usb 2.0 and start the cycle over . True-to-Life Colors ... have problem with yellow . return item .
429	Projector	NEG	1	the product work and be easy to mount but company send I use item when I purchase new one . there be scratch all over the mount . one star give because of ethical concern not because of product functionality .
44	Projector	POS	4	Spent just a little over $ 70 on this . Spent most of my time worry if it would look fine playing , if it would be too dark , or not enough sound . item be receiven in great condition . be easy to hook up to my PS3 to stream movie right onto my wall . Picture be not amazing , but it look pretty well and the sound be loud enough too . I 'll probably save up to buy a newer brand that can be brighter , but as for now this be totally fine and worth the buy . even if the bulb burn out , I be give a manual on how to replace it , so I be good : -rrb-
368	Projector	NEG	2	initially I very excite by this product because I view it as a portable way to project larger version of myself to other . in particular , I be interested in appear 7 + foot tall to other in a business context . unfortunately , this do not work out as well as I have anticipate . quite possibly due to the fact the Optoma pk301 be only capable of create a two-dimensional image . on the upside , the pk301 occasionally send I through time in a uncontrolled manner . I also see from other review that this be not a uncommon occurrence for Optoma projector . I think the `` net net '' here be that it be a mediocre business tool but a effective , though unpredictable , time machine . I be actually in the process of now try to contact past-me by travel through to time to warn myself from purchase the Optoma pk301 in the first place . I think that pretty much say it all .
762	Projector	POS	4	I order this screen on 7th apr '11 and be out of stock for long time and finally get it deliver on 11th July ' 11 . it be a decent motorized screen for the price . it come with 2 remote like description say and one almost never work . it have easy mechanism to adjust length of screen . I have not see clear instruction or hardware for install the screen to the wall or ceiling but I figure out my own way of install screen . after see the hole on each side anyone can figure out how to install . only one thing that be bother I be , after few time I roll screen up and down , I see lot wrinkle up towards the case . I try to look up the contact number for favus but nowhere to find . also contact Amazon but they do not have contact for FAVI either . I go in to they website and fill out contact form but have not hear from they yet . so the bottom line be , if you be look for professional \/ real theater like experience may be you should consider frame screen , not motorized one .
978	Projector	POS	4	I actually pick this up refurb ` ed from woot.com , and I have to say I be very impressed with it so far . I buy it because I do not have a tv , and it have all the input a tv have and more : VGA through a include cable , hdmus through a hdmi-to-mini-hdmus cable -lrb- available on amazon for very cheap -rrb- , regular component cable -lrb- come in the package -rrb- , from a micro-sd card -lrb- sell separately -rrb- and also supposedly through usb . pro : - very small and light - come with a padded carry case - perfect for replace a tv -lrb- if you can make the room dark -rrb- - excellent resolution -lrb- 1200x800 max -rrb- - pixel be diamond-oriented -lrb- make movie clearer \/ less pixelated -rrb- - with the battery and micro-sd card , it do not actually need any cable at all - internal memory be big enough for a picture slideshow or a short home video - can flip the image -lrb- so you can run it upside down , or behind the screen , etc -rrb- con : - manual focus , and text will never ever be completely sharp no matter what - when the bottom be in focus , the top be slightly out of focus -lrb- not noticeable in video - only become a issue when read text -rrb- - hole for the tripod be right at the front . this mean that if you buy a small tripod -lrb- like the one recommend on this page -rrb- it will tip over backwards , no matter what you do - not sure how to get usb working . I buy a female-to-female adapter so that I could connect a flash drive to the usb cable they provide , but it do not detect it . I think perhaps you need to buy they proprietary cable -lrb- boo -rrb- overall , I love it . I do not think I would have pay $ 400 for it , but for $ 250 I could not be happier .
974	Projector	POS	5	everyone that see the picture this projector give want one . you would expect to pay much more for this quality . the picture still look great with the light on and blind open . give the adjustability of the projector and the abilty to handle ambient light , this will work in a lot of home other projector might not be right for . and it look great even on a inexpensive screen -lrb- da-lite hd Model B -rrb- . the only negative thing be I know about right now be that with all projector include the new dlp rear projector tv be that the bulb have to be replace every 2000 or so hour and they cost over $ 300 to replace . I just get my projector , so I do not know if the bulb will last its advertised lenght . I would be surprise if you be not wow by this projector . UPDATE : I have have problem with this projector . already on my second one and be get ready to send it away for more work . seem to be a reliability problem . the projector shut off automatically after I turn it on . . force I to wait 5 minute to turn it back on . also , and much worse , the project image be start to go blank every 5 minute and the imput option appear . . very annoying and you may miss key part of whatewver you be watch . now , still under warranty , Panasonic be make I pay to ship the unit to Kansas -lrb- I be in California -rrb- where they will work on it and say they will have it back to I in 7-10 day . if you still want to buy this after read this , make sure you get a good warranty . my rating now would be much lower than 5 star if Amazon would let I change it -lrb- they will not -rrb- second Update : well my Iris have break again ! and now it be out of warranty ! this be the third time I have have to return this product for repair ! I think there should be a class action suit against these guy for not recall a product that almost everyone be report problem with ... will never buy a Panasonic product again .
254	Projector	NEG	1	out of the box , the instruction be nearly incomprehensible . after I get it mount it be fine . it do everything I need it to do . I raised\/lowered it probably 2x a week for less than 3 month and the motor go out . the screen just plop all the way down and would not raise . as mention in other review , it cost more to ship the product back to FAVI for repair than I pay for the screen itself . I end up open up the case to try to fix it -lrb- stupid on my part -rrb- and make it 100x worse . I hope the motor would last longer than 3 month , so I will not be buy anything FAVI brand again . I reach out to customer service , so depend on what they say I may change my mind .
76	Projector	POS	5	I receive my apple ipad dock connector cable , connect it to my lcd projector and it work perfectly . I didnt need to do anything . this company be great . I actually receive my product before the suggest delivery date . thank you for offer this product .
334	Projector	POS	4	we purchase this projector for use in the worship center of we small church building . the picture be very sharp , and we plan to upgrade we screen to a wide-screen size soon , and that will take advantage of the projector 's full capability . it be easy to use , easy to get set up . the color seem not to be as vibrant as the projector we just replace , however . the blues especially seem to be wash out . we may be able to adjust for that , but have not be able to figure it out yet .
500	Projector	NEG	2	I have purchase , this projector to replace my 6 year old NEC projector . I like that it have a hdmus input , 2500 luman , and think it would have a clean sharp picture . but I fail to notice that it be only 800 x 600 resolution . with my picture about 6 foot wide . the picture look blocky -lrb- if that be a word -rrb- . I could actually count the pixel on the screen . I have return this Vivitek projector and purchase another NEC NP216 projector with a 1024 x 768 resolution . the 1024 x 768 resolution make a huge difference in clarity . I will never purchase anything less than 1024 x 768 . I be sure a Vivatek projector with 1024 x 768 or higher would have a better picture .
532	Projector	POS	5	1080p , great picture , bulb be less expensive than with other projector . I be just amaze at this product and everyone that see it as well . bigger than expect but I would say bigger be better in this case . I buy projector screen material and make my own 120 '' screen . the material have a surface for the projector and be also black out cloth , so I mount the screen right over 2 window in my family room . I get the screen material from the seller dazianfabric on ebay !
34	Projector	POS	5	so far I have have my projector for about a week and it work perfectly . I buy this know the cost and not expect the performance I would get from a $ 1000 projector . I assume anyone look to buy this do not have 500-2000 dollar to spend and just want a projector on a budget . so far this be it . I buy a refurbish one and get it ship for $ 230 . I have be use it everyday about 9-12 hour as a second monitor . it come with a extra bulb and all the cable list in the description . the cable and power cord be short so unless you plan on have it close get a longer cable . it say 800x600 but I have mine set at 1024x768 and it accept the signal use vga cord but anything over and the screen turn blue and say no signal . I try s-video hdtv out on my card but nothing display right unless I put it to 480 . I plan to get a vga to hdmi adapter and try the hdmus input on the projector . I hope then it will display 1080 without it be scramble . I hook up coaxial with expand cable tv and run the scan . it pick up the station but it must have the old style because none of the hd in between station work -lrb- ex-10 .1,10.2 -rrb- . some of the station be wrong and i would have to go under each one to manually adjust the frequency to get the right channel and get the clearest picture . also have to set the sound to the right kind to get that to work . I then try a antenna and nothing work so you will need a converter box to get those channel . I have spend much time tweaking the contrast ect . on the projector and my graphic card to get the picture right . the keystone adjustment be just up and down so you need to project straight parallel . the picture size depend on distance from screen so i recommend a ceiling mount so you do not have to have it setup on a table in the middle of the room . it have adjustment for both ceiling -lrb- flip -rrb- and rear -lrb- reversed -rrb- mode . for pixel and clarity I have mine setup about 9ft away with a screen size of almost 6ft wide and about 5ft tall . from 3 1\/2 foot and closer it have a obvious look through a screen effect . the pixel size with my screen size be 1\/16 inch square . right now i just project on a white wall and look good from 5ft back and beyond . my dislike be ; 1 . the fan be loud 2 . it have blank on the input side for usb , scart and card reader . I assume in the next model those input will be put in but its a bummer not have they in this model and see the spot for they . 3 . I have a longer vga cable but with the location of the input on the projector -lrb- cover be too close -rrb- the screw be not long enough on the one side tighten it in . overall I recommend this to whoever want a projector but can not spend over $ 300 . what convinced I to buy this be the fact bulb be 30-40 dollar and last 4000-6000hr . I could have spend $ 250 on a use projector that blow this one away in picture quality and spec but then I would be stick pay $ 200-300 every 3000hr on a new fixture . what I want be a huge picture I can use as much as a tv and not have to ration out the hour i put on the bulb . if you have any question feel free to comment and I hope my review help . just remember if you want perfect quality expect to pay for it , do not fool yourself into think this can compete with a $ 600 + projector .
163	Projector	POS	4	it be a very usefull video projector , my wife use it for she conference of 20 to 50 person and it look great . I personally use it wiht my xbox in a big white wall and it make complete different game experince . it be a basic video Projector , with basic feature but just enough for my wife and myself and the best be the low price !
829	Projector	NEG	1	it be unbelievable how a company with the reputation of 3M release a product like this in the market !! what be it mean for ?? the light be so dim that you can not watch movie , do presentation , whatever . it be useless ! the favorable report we see around must be from company people . only insane people can give a favorable rating to this piece of ... how to call it ?
668	Projector	POS	5	great projector for the price . it look better than my big screen tv . we use it outside in we backyard theater project onto a 16 by 9 screen . awesome .

Games , movie and tv show be incredible on the 66 and the darker the room get , the better the picture get . definitely worth the purchase price and quite frankly , you would have to be a certified lunatic to choose a television over this when you take the price and performance into consideration -lrb- even factor in the negligible replacement cost of a optoma light bulb -rrb- . I really do not see myself ever go back to normal tv as anything but a secondary viewer . use a hd projector be the only true way to do home theater right . setup be a breeze and I buy everything on Amazon through various seller and pay WAY less than I would have anywhere else . for the full price of the setup and ceiling mount this thing I would be lucky to grab a tv over 50 '' -lrb- exclude dlp 's -rrb- . every single one of my friend and family member -lrb- especially my wife ... the ultimate skeptic -rrb- be extremely impressed . the only real problem I have now be keep all of they at bay long enough to watch something of mine ! as for performance tidbit ? resolution be very clear for a 720p model and I have keep all my item scale up to 1080p and let the hd66 's onboard downscaler do the work as I feel that look the sharpest . even when I do this I be still able to play my xbox 360 with no noticeable lag and it look beautiful . my Samsung Blu-Ray Player and my hdmi-capable htpc also look phenomenal -lrb- I highly recommend use Windows Media Center and one of its custom frontend like Media Browser as they look marvelous on a screen this large -rrb- . screen door effect be at a minimum if the machine be calibrate halfway decent and if you be sit at a adequate distance from the screen . I do not suffer from RBE so I have yet to see a rainbow -lrb- hopefully I never do -rrb- and I have already watch hour of various content from live-action movie to game to sport , etc. . the menu system be easy to navigate and the focus and zoom offset be great -lrb- but offer the limited placement flexibility consistent with other dlp model of its ilk -rrb- . the remote be not backlit , but once the room be darken , I still have no problem see the necessary key to press -lrb- I be also not one of those remote control stickler , so go figure -rrb- . calibration prove easy enough and a quick Google search will yield several reviewer site with easy setting to try out . the unit itself be very light and be a breeze to install . overall , a solid purchase and I feel I get the better end of the deal for the type of home theater I now have . I have not test out the 3d capability yet as I do not have enough for the active shutter glass -lrb- but that be what I be hope to get for my birthday -- hope my wife read this ! -rrb- . it be nice to know that optoma be now offer firmware upgrade to deal with Nvidia driver properly and that they may be ready for 3d blu-ray by year 's end -lrb- accord to some scuttlebutt I have read on a few tech message board -rrb- , this way , if I do eventually decide to make 3d a priority , I can go that route without too much fuss . I guess all that be leave for I now be to upgrade my a\/v receiver -lrb- hopefully sooner than later -rrb- and buy a few pair of those fancy 3-d glass . until then ? I be a very happy camper .
842	Projector	NEG	1	do not waste you money . not sure what this be use for but I buy every adapter I could get and still be unsuccessful in play a Picture slide show on it from a laptop . do not waste you money ... .
502	Projector	POS	5	I recommend that you place this under a 42 '' tv or larger with place it under you tv . I also recommend that you calibrate the speaker to obtain the best result . it work best for I hook it directly up to my Blu Ray Player vs just hook it up to the tv by itself . finally this speaker need a sub woofer to obtain the low base sound that will add much joy to you movie watch .
831	Projector	POS	4	the mount be slightly confusing to figure out , but it end up be much better look than anticipate , and it be very secure . it also allow proper leveling of the projector , and then angle in 3 axis . no problem with it , I would recommend it for any Epson projector .
472	Projector	POS	4	amazing little projector that have be clamp onto my camera tripod , and it just cant help but give great Picture Quality , and i deduct a star for bad audio quality , easily remedy by take the Audio out from the source rather than from the Projector . otherwise at 100-120 inch near perfect screen quality , every time . yes there be a lag time of 5 minute for warm up for best pq , and you need to manually focus to get best result every time , but i like tinker around with it anyways . the remote be spot on , and the HDMI port excellent , though i need to get a extra long hdmus to mini hdmus cable , which can be a pain in the ass . but other than that , , , , projector for projector , whether its PS3 , blu ray , or whatever you can throw at it , this little baby will crunch it up and spit out a image worthy of more expensive projector , , , the size and form of this lead Proj . be unbelievable , and Texas Instruments have do a remarkable job in miniaturize , and to buy this projector be to tap into the latest and best of LED DLP HD projector tech . enjoy !
210	Projector	POS	5	this projector be sick ! Peroid . I buy this projector on Dec , 23 2010 and it arrive on Christmas Eve . 2 hour out of the box it be up and run perfectly . the instulation be quicker than usual because I have a infocus lp640 install previously . the only reason it take that long to install be because the janky , so call `` universal '' overpriced mount that I buy from worst buy , be universal only to about 2 model of projector on the market ... go figure . anyway after retrofitting the mount , and a few adjustment . . splakaw !! Perfect ! after turn this thing on , and with zero picture adjustment the picture , brightness and black level be great , especially when compare to the infocus that I have be use . the infocus be ok but only because I have nothing else to compare it to . I buy the thing from the local `` hookup '' man for 300 buck so I guess I get what I pay for . it be capable of display a hd signal , but not with nearly the appeal and quality as the hd66 . so after a good month at the office , and countless review and research hour , I decide to go with the hd66 team up with the onkyo ht 6300 7.1 surround sound system which i order at the same time , by the way my wife be PISSED !! ah well , can not return it after it be fully install and the box be destroy ... guess we gotta keep it all , sorry ! this projector , and that surround sound system make a wicked team . the Lions , and Pistons never look so good at lose at my house , and I can shoot the dust off a opponent nose in c.o.d from 200 yard away ! and ps3 blu-ray be nut ! overall I be a very hard person to please when it come to these thing , a bear skeptic . I be very particular about my system , how they be hook up and preform . I hate dangling , expose wire and will spend two week if necessary to perfect my setup . I never wright review only read they . I purposely fail customer survey , especially the one for the company i have to make check out 4 every month , directv , dte , sprint pc , etc. . . -lrb- everything should be free n my opinion -rrb- but I be so pleased with my hd66 I be inspire to give back for once . ca not wait for the 3d-xl convertor box to drop ! if you want a great projector buy the hd66 , the quality , feature , and all out performance be great , and the price be a add bonus . the manual zoom , and focus allow for perfect tweak , and adjustment . my setup : - 12 ft throw - ceiling mount - ps3 - 3d capable hdmus - directv hd - xbox 360 - onkyo ht-6300 7.1 - optimum 3d-xl ... ... come soon as it be available
14	Projector	POS	5	I purchase this projector last year and have be nothing but happy with it . I have not use it be hdtv capability -lrb- since I have no source -rrb- , but I use it to display movie from a computer regularly . with more input mode than you probably need , this projector will handle almost any display need . I have use it for VGA and DVI input , as well as s-video for my ps2 . as a computer monitor it perform spectacular up to resolution of 1024x768 . it be capable of down sampling 1280x1024 input , but it leave 12 point text nearly unreadable during the down sample . I have be use it successfully at 1024x768 to play game and movie and it perform spectacularly . when display analog tv input from my ps2 it do very well . final Fantasy 10 show only minor blur from be display in a large monitor , and overall I be very happy with it be analog tv capability . as a monitor for a media center pc be amazing . after adjust the setting the display be better than my parent rear projection screen . after all that be say , there be a few problem : 1 . the down sampling from 1280x1024 leave a lot lack . I try to use this resolution to play world of Warcraft and the text distortion eventually cause a headache . try to program with 12 or 14 point text in this resolution cause similar problem . however , if I be simply view a movie I doubt I would have notice the down sampling artifact . if you plan on play computer game or do thing like program on this projector , be aware you will need to be in 1024x768 -lrb- not nearly as much of a problem as you would think , as you be on a 5 foot display ... but still a slight letdown -rrb- . 2 . there be only one `` user mode '' for display setting , but it have very different need for different input . for instance , ps2 have a radically darker output than a VGA computer connection , and leave the brightness up when switch to a computer cause a wash out effect . the build in option `` movie '' `` game '' -lrb- and one other I can not recall -rrb- be acceptable , but hand tweaking the display setting for a particular input invariably lead to a cleaner brighter picture with more distinguishable color . I would have like to have at least 5 user setting for display . 3 . if you be not use the right display setting for you input the output may be horrible . effect range from dark color in a ps2 blend into black , to wash out on a computer connection . further , change the contrast and brightness sometimes have radical effect on how many color be visible . 4 . the projector do not have auto light sense as have be find on tv 's since I be bear . when you turn on the overhead light , you usually need to adjust the display to be brighter . this be something that a trivial bit of circuitry can , and should , handle . with those problem state , I would like to repeat , of the projector on the market I believe this be the best home theater \/ personal use choice . most people will not change input constantly , and set you user setting to handle you movie input should be enough for most . as a computer display at 1024x768 it allow for team editing of document , and would easily handle powerpoint if I use it . in the average situation , the room lighting be dark while use a projector , and auto light sense will not be a issue . if you be go to buy one projector this year , bar any amazing new competition it should be this projector . it be low cost , very bright , handle almost any input you could want , and very good at display movie and computer screen .
590	Projector	POS	5	great video , great size , great quality . as everybody else I think it need a audio-out connection . the built-in speaker be basically useless , but its better than nothing . I be very pleased with the product . totally recommend . sorry for bad english .
493	Projector	POS	5	I buy this projector while I be station in Baghdad in the spring of 2006 to play my ps2 game . I purchase it refurbish at 100 hour and 3300 hour later , it be still work like a charm . sometimes I forget to clean the dust from the filter but that do not affect the play any . I mainly use it as a second monitor for my laptop through hdmus and at the time of my purchase , it be ahead of it be technology for price ratio . it be one of the best investment I have make and go great with a bottom scissor Da-Lite projector screen . 3 thumb up !
438	Projector	POS	4	my expectation for a $ 200 projector be not high . but really it put out a decent picture . Hung up a shower curtain liner -lrb- suggest on a forum -rrb- and plug in the dvd . kid watch some flix at night . . they love it . lot of input which I like . sound be decent for the little speaker . now my cable input do not work as well as I have hope and I may try that again . I will say . . if you need much support I would not hold my breath . just try to find the manual online be a worthless effort . Pretty much on you own I think .
32	Projector	NEG	2	I receive my screen the 120 hd . it arrive with minor damage to the box . when I open it , I quickly notice a dent on the back side of the screen . I be not to concern with this , know that this side would not be see . after hang the screen , and pull it down , it look really nice . as other have mention , there be a few wave in the screen , but it look great . Mine have a small problem though , once you pull it down and lock the screen , it retract back up on its own , its hard to notice right away since this motion be very slow . in about 45 min the screen be back in its original position . I do not want to deal with the hassle of send it back , so I decide to tie it down with a hook screw attach to we console stand . you can not tell its rig , but I plan to get a better one in the future , this will do for now consider the price . it blow to have get a damage one . I contact Favi via they website and receive a email back . the rep there already know what my problem be , but ignore my request for technical help . if you need a cheap screen , go for it , take the chance of get a good one , but be prepare to deal with the issue of a lemon .
584	Projector	POS	5	nice usb to pc connection it be truly a plug n ' Play ! I just scan through the Quick Guide and I be able to operate the projector easily . my only concern be whether the 2600 lumen would be enough light intensity consider the natural light present , not to mention the church 's plain white wall be use to project image . however , it be plenty enough the project image off of Power Point presentation be quite legible and colorful from over 300 ft. . needless to say , I highly recommend this product !!!
