The screen I ordered isn't here yet so I just fired up the projector and put the image on the wall in the basement. I plugged it in via HDMI and put on 'The Avengers' Blu Ray. Wow.. And remember this was just on the beige wall. Image looked great. I'm huge stickler for how a picture looks also. Does it look as good as my 55" 1080p Samsung? No it doesn't, but I didn't expect it to. But was it huge and crisp and awesome looking? YES IT WAS.
Like most reviews say, the speaker is not good at all. That's fine, I knew that going in. I purchased a $40 2.1 speaker system to go with it. (2 speakers and subwoofer) I plugged that in and the sound was great.
Quick note: some were asking if this supports 16:9 ratio? Yes it does. When its plugged into an HDMI at least it did for me.
I'm very happy with it and I can't wait to use it this fall for games. My kids came downstairs and watched a little bit of it also. To say the least, they were impressed. My 3 year old thought it was the best thing since sliced bread to see Thomas the Tank Engine in his 7 foot display glory.
Definitely recommend and would buy again. This is my first ever review so I must have liked it!
I wanted to get rid of my old television
I wanted a big screen to watch movies
I don't watch TV
It fulfilled all these conditions under a limited budget and it does the job well. However beware it produces around 65" of screen only if you have a distance of 10-11 feet. If you want bigger screen you need to have a bigger THROW distance,longer room to project . The screen size is huge, but having seen one of the OPTOMA FULL HD projectors, I personally was hoping at 10-11 feet it would have greater screen .
Again great Remote ( Don't lose it cos you will not be able to use a lot of features like ECO MODE without Remote ) , great setup.
BAD :
I don't think the HDMI CABLE works with it. I tried several cables and tried attaching the HDMI to the projector on one end and LAPTOP on the other it just does not work. It has been given to make most techies happy.
Overall very good buy. Great clarity and I will hope great lamp life.
Warning : On the box it does not claim 10,000 hours as Viewsonic does here on Amazon. On the box it says 6000 hours, though I am sure if used in ECO mode it could be more...
Cheers
My only complaint is that I wish it had 1080p resolution, (it will display at 1080 settings, but it still is a little grainy. When hooking up my laptop for occasional gaming, it makes it hard to read text but is fine if I change my laptop to 720p. Its still a great value, and I have had it for a couple of months now with no issue whatsoever.
I also wish It had more HDMI inputs, as you will have to buy a switcher if you want to use multiple sources. I recommend a manual one as this will not always auto-detect the signal coming in from an auto switcher. I have used several switchers for different TV setups and the manual ones work better it seems than the auto detect ones, especially on this one.
You cant go wrong with the price, (if its still around 300 bucks give or take), and I will definitely buy another exact one or a newer model when this one goes out! Great buy!
Update as of 2015 january 2nd
Been to repair 3 times after 1000 hours it seems to flicker and fade out until it turns its self off .. It is now ringing when off so I need to unplug it when its not in use and its becoming very very troublesome
Now that I have it, I have people over every Sunday to watch some of the big shows and I also do movie night with the family. I'm yet to try out the 3D option, but will update when I do.
You can begin to see the projected image outside as as the sun goes down and usually by dusk you can be watching a movie with no problems at all. I was pretty impressed with it's brightness.
Pros
Lightweight
Easy to set up
Very Good Image quality!
Cons
Only 1 HDMI input (to solve this I purchased an HDMI splitter, Portta PET0301S HDMI Switcher Support
Speaker quality is not very good, but this was expected.
Adjusting the screen to project evenly can be a pain. It's easily solved by maybe putting something under the rear/left leg or visa versa, but it would be nice if all the legs were adjustable. The unit does adjust up and down though with a little screw leg located front and center.
All in all, this is one of my favorite Amazon purchases and I don't regret it in the least. Between this, a portable 120" stand, a sound bar and some wire, I have a sweet backyard movie setup for about $650 total.
Only draw back is I wish it had an HMI port.
The onboard sound is pretty quiet and tinny, you will barely be able to hear it about the fan, even at the max volume. If you're using this to watch movies or something, be prepared to use external speakers if you want to have a complete experience. Most of you will probably do that anyway, so no big deal.
It isn't exceptionally quiet or loud. Pretty much in the middle.
NOTE: I searched for replacement bulbs, and stuff was all really expensive. Hoping that goes down. I'd like to run 2-3 bulbs through it before I need to replace.
P.S. I used my old projector a lot and got 4-5 years out of it on one replacement bulb. it then started showing dead pixels. That is the sort of lifespan I would be satisfied with.
I use Win7 Windows Media Center (WMC) to manage the TV tuner attached to my laptop. I use VLC media player to play digital or BluRay movies.
I am not an audiophile and don't care about sound. That said, the volume coming from WMC does not seem to be loud enough through the projectors speakers. However, if I play it through VLC, it is plenty loud. When I am not using the built-in speaker, I plug headphones into my laptop to hear everything
It is extremely bright and has a great 15000:1 contrast. The blacks stay very black and don't look gray.
I have not tried using 3D glasses as of yet as I am shopping for something less than $20. I have tried the sample 3D videos to see how they play. You can also use this projector to play Youtube videos that offer a 3D mode in the same way as the 3D BluRay.
It's design is nice that you don't have to replace a filter. Airflow is really good. Also, dim mode when inactive and shut off when not connected. Great value!
I've used it nonstop since I purchased it, the kids love it, the wife loves it, the whole family loves it.
When I placed my order, I paid $434, while the price was $329 the day before, but I bought it anyway because of the reviews I had read and all of the research I had done, and nobody else had it in stock. I paid the higher price, and was happy with paying the price difference when I received my item. I've contacted Amazon regarding the price difference, and I purchased it on Dec 15. and even though I was out of the 7 day price difference policy, they were so great to me and issued a refund for the price adjustment.
I will always suggest Amazon to friends and family, and if I ever encounter someone buying a projector, I will certainly recommend this one.
