Very easy to set up and adjust the picture size and focus, with keystone adjustment if used off-centre. The image is very responsive for gaming on the Ps4.
Watching films on Netflix and blurays look incredible; bright and clear when watching during the day. This is in a room with blinds but not curtains, and I usually use super-eco mode which also has the benefit of reducing fan noise.
The onboard speaker is clear and great for times when a sound system isn't available.
Here are some of the specs I love about this projector. First it's 15,000:1 contrast ratio provides a very clear picture and great color balance. The Lumens on this projector at 3000 have made it work great for office and home. As long as I can get the room semi dark (even some light coming in from the shades has been okay), the quality of display been great. No complaints, even from those in the back of the room. The projector supports VGA (up to two devices connected at the same time, only one displaying at a time), HDMI, RCA and HDMI.
I mentioned I move this guy from work to home but it's not exactly the most portable projector. It weighs about as much as my laptop and has a footprint the size of a standard sheet of paper. There are plenty of pocket sized projectors on the market, but in terms of quality, I didn't want to compromise.
I've had this guy for a year now, and have been really impressed. I was worried, based on other reviews at the time, that it wouldn't hold out, but it's been just fine. The 3 year warranty has been a great peace of mind knowing if I have problems, I'll be covered. Here, a year later though, I'm still going strong.
The unit is extremely light weight and feels cheap. The feel of the plastic is what you should expect from a no name brand. I took a chance based on a lot of good reviews. I've come to the conclusion that those who gave this a great review either never looked at a decent projector or they expected the lackluster performance that this unit delivers.
When it heats up you can smell hot plastic. It's relatively loud for it's size. The lack of inputs is a problem. Most of the options in the menu are greyed out. The second time I turned it on, there was a blinking red light and I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to finally come on.
The picture was substandard. I was replacing a unit that dates back to 1998, that had a better picture than this even at 17 years old. I could see every pixel, and it made my head hurt.
Thankfully Amazon has rock stars working for them. I was able to return this and traded up to the Optoma dh1011. It was $669, compared to $309 and worth every penny. Keep this in mind folks... native resolution is a huge deal. 800x600 will destroy a blue ray picture and your theater will only be as good as the cheapest component in it.
It gets two stars because it shipped really fast and if I wanted a cheap low definition projector this would do the trick.
The Viewsonic arrived packaged very well. It was a lot lighter than I expected. Instructions were more than ample, however, I did not need or use them. I found the build quality very good and would have no concerns using the unit in a portable manner. Yes, it does have a plastic shell. However, what are really the alternatives? Operational control layout is intuitive, nearly eliminating any need for a manual. The design and weight of the Viewsonic also makes it highly portable and effective for people who need to travel and maintain independent projection capability. Viewsonic includes (like most others) an adjustable leg for height.
The most important features to look for in projectors are resolution, contrast ratio, and lumens. It doesn't do full 1080p HD (it's SVGA 800x600) , but it does do 720p with a simply STUNNING picture quality and clarity with vibrant, but not overdone colors. The 15,000 to one contrast ratio provides great dynamic range with very dar darks and bright whites. Refresh rate is 120Hz, which is very good to maintain fluidity of image during high speed action sequences. The 3,000 lumens makes this unit more than suitable to deal with all but the harshest ambient light conditions and is very well suited for outdoor use (we can now start an outdoor movie a lot earlier than usual). Simply stated, usability and picture quality are superb. Note that you can adjust nearly every aspect of resolution, contrast, brightness, etc....
Viewsonic provides various inputs for connectivity, so no worries there. However, there is only 1 HDMI connector and this might be a deal breaker for some. Also, like all onboard projector speakers, the Viewsonic speakers left a lot to be desired. To overcome this, you can simply run a 1/8 audio cord (standard stuff) to any speaker or sound system. There is no delay in the sound at all. In our case, we paired the projector with a portable Bose speaker.
Bottom line? This projector provides exceptional value in the current price range. You will need to spend a few hundred more to move up to a projector that provides better quality.
$330: The Epson VS230. Amazing for the price. Bright enough for lit rooms. The only thing it lacks is resolution - it handles movies and PowerPoints pretty well, but if you plan on anything else (detailed diagrams, smaller text, etc), you should consider one of the $400 options, which are 1280x800 pixels, vs 800x600 pixels. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GMGDFPI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GMGDFPI&linkCode=as2&tag=nealo10a-20
This, the $350 Epson PowerLite 500. "Contrast ratios" aside, movies look better on this than on the VS320. On the other hand, it is visibly dimmer. If you want an inexpensive home theater, go for this. If it's meant for presentations, I'd go for the VS320.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D29Z1TQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00D29Z1TQ&linkCode=as2&tag=nealo10a-20
$350: The ViewSonic PJD5134. It's a bit brighter than the Epson VS320, but that'll almost never matter - either is bright enough for daily use. This sacrifices some of the Epson's image quality for a lot of mostly unnecessary features like 120Hz refresh rate and 3D support (why would you watch a 3D BluRay on a low-res projector?). I recommend the Epson over this.
$420: The Optoma DW326e. My favorite projector for under $500, it's a tad brighter than the Epson VS230, but WAY sharper. It's basically the difference between SD and HD TV. Highly recommend: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GGM6G9A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GGM6G9A&linkCode=as2&tag=nealo10a-20
$420: The ViewSonic PJD5533W. Basically the same as the Optoma, but not quite as sharp. However, the prices of the two projectors has varied by up to $100 in the past, so I'd recommend just going for whichever is cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00511ITEM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00511ITEM&linkCode=as2&tag=nealo10a-20
There you have it - a quick rundown of your best options. Hope you found this helpful!
Main use: Outdoor summer movies for the kids in the backyard or basement/garage during in-climate weather.
The unit: It is appealing to the eye, a nice glossy black finish and relatively small in size. The button layout has been very well thought out and done very ergonomically. The menus are easy to access, navigate, and understand. I had no need to even crack the manual (which is only on the included CD, only printed material is quick set-up guide). All menu functions from my initial testing can be done from the unit itself or through the remote. Connections options are satisfactory, however, i would like to see a standard component (Red/White) audio hook up vs 3.5mm. Then again, the internal speaker on this unit is really not all the usable, nor did I expect to be. For audio, I channel through my 5.1 Harmon Kardon A/V receiver.
Remote: Again, like the projector itself, it is very well laid out and easy to use. Nothing fancy going on, just a straight forward layout. Often used buttons such as menu, select, and exit are easy to spot and color coded. The remote is usable from a distance and at various angles - even from behind the unit.
Picture: While I have yet to use it outdoors (where it will get most of its use for evening summer movies - review coming) it performed excellent in my basement. I tested with the following: 92" screen, standard def DVD, projected from 20', movie Goonies. With the lights on (simulate outdoor use), the picture is both crisp and clean, during the opening car chase sequence there was no visible blur. With lights off, of course the picture is fantastic.(I have yet to test my HD setup, gaming, or live broadcast TV - review(s) coming). One area i would have like to see improved is the zoom capability. The manual zoom in or out does not allow for much play - you more or less need to setup the correct physical distance of the projector. Other than that, I'm initially very happy with my purchase.
Update: 4/23/13
I have tested HD through my WD TV live media player (My Blue Rays are all stored here) and it is AWESOME! Movies look fantastic in full HD. I tested with Finding Nemo and RIO - these two movies are visually stunning in terms of color. I wanted to see how this would stack up to my 1080p LCD & Plasma - the quality is great, I'm very pleased!
I also tested HD through my Xbox360. Gaming is also wonderful. I did not incur blur while playing and the experience was awesome on such a large screen. Standard def DVD also was an upgrade through the 360 due to the fact that I was now outputting through HDMI vs. standard component cable (yellow cable).
Still no live broad cast TV test (have to run cabling) and still no outdoor test. Mother nature just won't cooperate here in the Midwest. If it's not cold, it's flooding.
Update: 12/10/2013
Finally, I have setup the projector for 3D viewing.I used a pair SainSonic SSZ-200DLW glasses (which are great for $29)watching the following movies: Finding Nemo 3D and Wolverine 3D from a digital media player in H-SBS format. I have to say, I'm impressed! I did not think it would give a similar experience to that of a movie theater - I was blown away. This is coming from a guy who feels 3D in the home is gimmicky. I'm now sold on it. It just adds a neat and immersive viewing experience.
The set-up:
The projector does not pick up the 3D feed automatically (it just plays the side by side images), I needed to go into the menu at the start of the movie and select the side by side 3D setting. It then converts the side by side video images into the single overlay 3D video that works with the 3D glasses. Pretty simple stuff and a pretty big smile on my face!
The sound from the speakers suck , so be sure to have some external speakers for it or your movie night will be ruined for sure. A phone has better sound coming from it. A first generation psp has better sound coming from it than the built in speaker.
This thing puts off a lot of heat so avoid small areas and keep away from other electronics just in case.
The picture it puts out is great and you will not be disappointed with your purchase.
Perfectly problem free for the year that I've owned it. It doesn't have all the features of other projectors. You may have to prop some bills or books under it for fine adjustment but that's really no big deal at all. Like all projectors less light equals better clarity.
I'm using it just on a white wall, not putting any work into the project whatsoever, and it looks pretty great for $310. I opted for a smaller screen (65 inches) because my room is smaller and the screen does look quite a bit better smaller. After a bit you can hardly tell it's not HD. I'm actually a retro gamer and I like a lot of older movies, lots of horror, so it's really not that big of a deal going back to something not crystal clear.
Even saying that, Blu Rays don't look too terrible at all coming from the PS3. I bought a pair of the 3D Glasses and they work. So for $310 it's a pretty amazing piece of machinery.
If you were building a theater putting money into it with a screen over 90-100 inches, and you want it to look right, I would not buy this projector. Personally I'd upgrade to a 1080p machine.
But if you were looking for something low cost, something for the bedroom, heck even something for the living room if you are used to a 720p or standard TV, this thing is sweet.
The projector itself is a complete joy, the picture is mindblowing, even on eco mode which will extend your bulb life,the picture is fantastic, i was initially using two strips of lining paper on the wall as my screen, and let me tell you even on that makeshift screen the pictures was phenomonal, i have since bought a 100in screen and i am in cinema heaven, my next purchse will be the ceiling mount.
Noise wise it is just like a PC on quiet mode, but nothing that will distract you from the screen, the remote does just what is says on the tin.
The only thing i can find fault with is that is won't play media from a USB stick or HDD as it has no built in media player, but a PC/PS3/XBOX/Your phone/Tablet/ connected to one of the many ports at the back sorts this small niggle out.
Cracking bit of kit for anybody looking to get into home cinema on the cheap, BR disc's in 1080p have to been seen to be believed....right i am off to watch my BR of Close encounter of the third kind. :)
It is easy to setup, the image is very bright (very visible in full daylight and even with indoor lights on) and even the built in speaker is more than useable.
I've given it 5 stars but I'd give it more if possible, highly recommended.
Bright image, and the menus for the remote are intuitive and logically laid out. Worked first attempt.
PROS
Low price. Decent data image quality. Good set of connectivity choices. Lightweight and portable. Good lamp life. 3D ready. 3-year warranty.
CONS
Feeble audio. No carrying case. Rainbow effect in video.
BOTTOM LINE
The ViewSonic PJD5134 provides solid data image quality and HDMI connectivity in a budget-priced portable projector.
Overall The ViewSonic PJD5134 holds its own as a budget, portable data projector. Though there are projectors with better image quality and louder audio in its class, it brings a good balance of price, portability, connectivity choices, and image quality to the table .
