  • Summary: ViewSonic Projector
  • Comment: Arrived in good time, and excellent condition. Features and brightness are great, and pretty easy to use and it is a real bargain for the price. My only two complaints are the high cost of the replacement bulb relative to the overall price, and I searched the instructions without success on how to get my laptop to "see" the projector. I finally had to call a computer guru friend who told me to push "Function" plus "F5" to make the connection!! (This is my very first time hooking up and using a projector of this type...) Seems like they might want to make a bigger deal out of that somewhere in the instructions! Once that mystery was solved, I was in business and it has performed very well.

  • Summary: Great projector for the price!
  • Comment: I had been looking for a projector to do trainings and stumbled upon this one on sale. Boy am I glad I did. It worked right out of the box, the directions were simple, and once I read the manual I realized what a great deal I received. I checked at Office Depot and a few other places and similar projectors were over $200 more than the price I paid(just under $400). I have used it a couple of times now for trainings and it really gets the job done. It is bright enough that I did not have to spend a lot of time adjusting the lights and all those other gyrations that have occurred in the past. I also like the economy feature to extend the life of the lamp (which can get pretty expensive once it needs to be replaced). If you are looking for a simple projector for presentations this is what you need!

  • Summary: Everything I wanted for the price.
  • Comment: I have been saving for an LCD projector to use mostly at home and jumped on this. While it does not have HDMI and is not considered HD I can not tell the difference between an image displayed on an HD plasma TV using HDMI compared to the same image on the projector using a component to VGA ($5 dollar cable) from an HD source which is currently Dish Network. I am still waiting on the screen and mounts to arrive but the image and brightness are better than I expected using a dollar store white king sized bed sheet. I can still watch movies and tv with light coming through the blinds or with the table lamp turned on.

    Being able to plug it into my laptop and do my work on it is a bonus. Editing pictures in photoshop on a life size screen makes all the difference.

    Only downside expect to spend half as much as you paid for the projector when it comes to replacing the bulb. As I keep and use the regular CRT tv for most things and only use the projector for movies this is not a big deal for me.

    If your looking for a good bright projector that does a good job in many roles and do not want to spend a mortgage payment on it.. get this one.

  • Summary: The Best Projector for Your Money
  • Comment: I bought this projector to use at my church in a small room with a lot of sunlight and was shocked at how well it performs. I knew when I bought it, that the price was cheaper but this little projector (and it is very small and light) is worthy every penny (and probably a lot more). It has excellent brightness for its size, and has more features then anyone would expect for such a low priced projector.

    It can show both 16:9 as well as 4:3; it can rotate its view to suit wall mounts as well as floor and ceiling mounts. It has digital and natural zoom as well as a host of color correction and brightness adjusting controls for optimum picture performance. From the minute you turn this little guy on you will be amazed at how easy to use it is and it even comes with a free screen and mount if you're willing to pay for the shipping.

    Either way if you're looking for a projector with "all the fixins" that won't do damage to your wallet, then you really couldn't find a better one than this.

  • Summary: Good for the money/ Easy set up
  • Comment: Just connect and go. Auto reads the input your running into it. Remote with all the features adjustable from it is a big plus if you have it on a hard to get place (which I do). Using as a visual for guests walking into the lobby but is a little dark for it (day light coming in) but for a dark room or area, it is ideal. Great for the price and quality! A-
