Отзывы о Проектор Viewsonic PA503W 1280x800, 22000:1, 3800 лм, DLP

* UPDATE The projector did not last a full year. It was great while it lasted but these shouldn't be disposable items. I would guess we used it about once a week, a little more when it was new and a novelty. Then, snow spots appeared and we assumed it was dust. All attempts at cleaning the lens failed, they were still there. A repair shop wanted $400.00 to dissemble, it's not an easy job. We were told the most likely cause was the DMB chip has gone bad, the part costing well over $100.00. Unfortunately, the customer service for this product is in the Philippines and to date, they have not responded to my emails. I have downgraded this to a one star and suggest, if you do decide to purchase one, go with the longest Amazon guarantee you can. It's a shame because we really loved it at first.

*Update I just want to add, this unit trows off a lot of heat. We have it set up in a bedroom and with the doors closed, it's really hot. I think it's much better to place in an open area than a closed room. Still running great though.

Extremely simple to hook up to with an HDMI cable and my Roku 3 Streaming Media Player streaming box. It's the clearest, largest viewing screen I ever thought was possible without spending thousands on a theater sized TV screen. My main complaint is its sound output. The only way we were able to get more than what most would consider "low to med" sound was to hook up external speakers like these. Logitech Multimedia Speakers Z200 with Stereo Sound for Multiple Devices, Black. They're cheap and simple to use but for the price of this projector, if you're including sound, it should be loud enough to hear. I would still recommend the ViewSonic as an affordable and fun projector but order those external speakers at the same time for the best possible result.
Of course, you can use this for work presentations but as a streaming TV or for playing X Box, you'll enjoy it a lot more. I'm pretty sure these will be on the "Must Have" lists for the upcoming holiday season. The PJD6235 would make a really nice gift.

Buy this projector if you don't care about seeing tiny pixels. The 3D is outstanding. I watched Jurassic Park with SainSonic 3D glasses (active shutter) and was blown away. I didn't get the eye fatigue like I did when watching 3D movies in the theater (which gives you passive 3D glasses).

HOWEVER...

The image has a lower resolution than a high-def TV. It's like going from a PS2 to a PS1, meaning you'll see the pixel boxes and such. The contrast ratio and brightness are excellent, but with a lower resolution, it's almost like viewing breathtaking scenery through a screen door.

Some people don't seem to mind, which the reviews indicate. For a small percentage of us, the lower resolution is annoying. I'm debating whether or not to take it back.

On the flip side, for the price, it is probably the best deal out there.

I have had this projector for two years. it has been working great and the family loves to watch movies on the weekend

If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. It is a tremendous value, projects bright and clear images, sharp contrast ratios, excellent color reproduction, quick refresh rate, and 3D ready which is awesome (requires active shutter DLP glasses which are more expensive). It has a built in speaker, as well as audio output, so a sound bar or external speakers can be added easily.
I gave it 5 stars because it does everything it said it would do, and it does it all very well.
There are a few very nitpicky things that in a perfect world I'd have differently. The audio out is a 3.5mm jack, ideally, there should be RCA out as well. The fan can be loud depending on how you have it mounted. Also, because there's no filter, quite a bit of light can escape out of the air vents which can be distracting. This light does not diminish the picture at all, but it can be distracting depending on where it is mounted. The resolution is plenty good enough for movies, especially at this price, but when it comes to static images, the lower resolution starts to become apparent. Lastly, it is DLP 3D ready, which is awesome, but since it's DLP, your passive glasses from your TV wont work with it, also a lot of older active 3D glasses wont work either, it would have been awesome if they included a pair of glasses with the projector.
The features that make this thing great, the menus, you can do practically anything, there are a ton of settings. The volume control works for the audio output as well. It lights up quickly, so by the time my BluRay player has loaded the disc, it's usually at full brightness.

Perfect projector for gaming or movies, etc. The fan isn't too loud and the picture quality is pretty great. Mine got really hot very quickly the first time i used it, just for a few minutes to test it out, but after that it worked fine and I can use it for a few hours at a time no problem. It seems to be set up for mounting either upside down on a ceiling or on a desk, so the picture is going to be very oddly positioned if you mount it on a higher space but not upside down and you'l have to adjust it somehow. I couldn't figure out how to adjust it enough so i just put a book underneath the back and angled it enough that way.

I have had this projector for a 1yr and 1/2, its been nice but now looking for something better, theres three light spots on the lower left of the screen and my wife gets the "rainbow effect" which ruins the experience. Any suggestions? On a projector without "rainbow effect"?

I really liked this projector and would have given it four stars up until a week ago. Turned everything on as per usual and it would sit on the "signal searching" icon and never change. Changed source device and cables and it wouldn't work. Currently coordinating an 'RMA' and hopefully when I get it back it will work and I will be able to give this a much higher rating. As in terms of picture quality it is sharp. But heavily pixelated. I sit nearly 20 feet away from my screen and I can literally count the pixels. Also, this projector is in 4:3 format, so when projecting a normal 16:9 image expect dim white bars on top and bottom of screen, they aren't awful, but are definitely distracting.

I recieved this projector from amazon a few days ago and all it continues to impress me. It's as good, or i would say even better than I expected. It handles 3D flawlessly, which impressed me, and produces a bright high contrast image on whatever surface you point it toward. I've tried a few high end PC games on it and it produces no noticable lag. The resolution is low, as reported by other reviews, but its barely noticable from a decent viewing distance. The one thing that stops me from giving it a 5 star rating is the fact that my remote arrived DOA. Enclosed in the instruction manual (leaflet) was a pair of batteries for the remote. I inserted the batteries (yes, I read and re-read the facings inside the remote) and the projector never responded to remote. I proceeded to try many different types and brands of batteries to no avail. I tested it at all distances from the infared sensor and any angle I could think of in relation to the projector. No results. It's been 2 days since I registered my product and reported my remote problem. I have yet to hear back from customer service but, to be fair, I reported the problem on a Friday night. I will ammend this review as time goes on to report any other news I may have.

Movies nights are so much better when you use a projector.
I love this, but I had to send it in to be fixed after only a few months of use. It was covered under warranty and I got my projector back at an acceptable rate, but I would have been nice if I didn't have to send it in at all.

I had no plans to buy one of these. I thought that I had to come up with a couple thousand to get a 3D system in my home. I was actually looking for something else to buy on Amazon when I spotted this for less than $400! I decided I'd go ahead and buy it but I had accepted that it might be crap and I might have to return it. There was no way in my mind that I was going to have a 3D system for this little money (the 3D Blu Ray player I got was only $98 which just made the whole thing more impossible) but I went for it anyway. I was still plagued with doubt all through the setup and when I finally switched it on - it worked! - for about 10 seconds and then my glasses kept turning on and off every 5 - 10 seconds but the second pair worked fine and everything was perfect!!!

I hunted around on the internet to see if anybody had a solution for the glasses going on and off and I saw that other people had the same problem but I couldn't find anyone that had solved it.

The extra problem was that I had already given my friend the pair that worked and couldn't very well make him wear the glasses with the problem at that point. So I accepted that all I was going to have then (until my friend left and I could use the working glasses) was 3D every few seconds going on and off. I was pretty bummed out at that point.

I started wondering if the problem was the sensor on the glasses so while I was wearing them I started to experiment. First I put a big mirror under the screen hoping that would help reflect the signal right into the sensor - nope, there was no change. Then I found that if I blocked the glasses' sensor somewhat they would come back on right away but I had to keep putting my hand up in front of them every few seconds every time they shut off which got tedious. An idea popped into my head that since blocking them somewhat helped, maybe they were getting too much of the signal. So I put a thin strip of a single layer of paper towel over the sensor and tied the strip together on the "inside" of the glasses. Paper towels being very porous, they would filter out some of the signal but let plenty in - IT WORKED - PERFECTLY!! They didn't do the on/off thing ever again! Of course I'll be sending that pair back for a replacement but this at least made them work until I could! I'm sure there are a lot more elegant solutions but this is what I came up with on the spot and it worked so that was good enough for then!

Also, before I got it all set up, I was nervous that I was missing a component (I hadn't learned much about these systems since I didn't think I would be getting one soon) and I was going to find out that I needed to buy something in addition to the projector, the 3D Blu Ray player, the 3D Active Shutter Glasses (I got the SainSonic SSZ-200DLW 3D Active Rechargeable Shutter Glasses for DLP-Link Projector), and of course some 3D Blu Ray disks. But as it turned out that was all I needed!

Also, the Blu Ray player has Wi-Fi (I got the Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black)) so you can watch Netflix and other streaming movie/TV sites with your projector as well as some internet sites that have 3D streaming content, which were really cool!

So I got everything listed above and four 3D Blu Ray movies for $630 and the 3D picture is incredible and I couldn't be happier!!

The projector has a little speaker that's kind of hard to hear (which at the time was handy because my friend that was there always talks through movies but he had to be silent to hear anything!) but you can use the Blu Ray player's audio out to plug into any home sound system that has an audio in plug.

I did not purchase this projector from Amazon, but after seeing all of the raving reviews about how this projector was a steal, I purchased one for myself and tested it out. After playing with it for a few weeks, I have come to dislike this projector and plan on returning it.

The colors are nice and saturated and the fan is relatively quiet, which is a definite plus. This is a very bright projector, and I think it would be great for still presentations in a business setting.

It had, at least to my eyes, significant "Rainbow Effect." I know this is subjective, but it made watching movies with this projector next to impossible causing significant eye strain.

The image quality was sub par, appearing very pixelated. I have a pico projector with slightly lower resolution than this, and the image on that far surpasses this projector.

With projectors being so subjective to the viewer, this was just not a good fit for me. If you are prone to seeing a "Rainbow Effect" from projectors, I would recommend staying away from this as it really was the ultimate deal breaker with this projector.

Thanks for reading this review, hope it helps you decide if this is the right projector for you!

I would get something newer. It worked adequetly for what was available at the time but all of the resetting and changing of resolutions is annoying. The color isn't all that good compared to some of the newer models. It was pretty good when I first bought it.

i wanted to get a projector to watch movies. i figured that this would be of great value since the picture quality, according to a lot of reviewers, is out of this world. i have an old samsung 50" lcd... but it has always had the sharpest picture. i am a cable installer so i see the best to the worst, and to my surprise most of the newest/newer tvs are not as good as my 5yr old samsung.
if all you are looking for is a large picture for cheap this is it but if you also want a great image then look elsewhere. i feel im sacrificing image if i was to keep this projector. i shouldve known better because of the specs but i like to have faith in the reviewers.
i think everyone is overwhelmed by the large picture. i want it all so i just ordered a used 1080p 3d projector optoma. price, quality, and huge a$$ picture!!

oh, and i almost forgot.. the 3d in my opinion is horrible. image is very blurry. i was watching an imax hd undersea doc. really took away from the experience.

It supports VGA. You have to pay more for HDMI. You can only use USB if you buy an adapter. The instructions that come with it are two glossary pages of cryptic worthlessness. When I finally found a computer that still supports VGA, the only thing the projector would display is the desktop, no matter what I had on the computer. The help desk didn't help. They only told me what I already knew. I will trash it and buy something else. I only gave it one star because 0 stars is not a choice.

Great Lumens brightness is very good researched projectors for a long time made this purchase and it gives a crisp bright picture. I use it for backyard movie nights and have never been disappointed. I use it with the blowup screen has all the inputs for any type of show I cant say enough good things about this projector envy of the neighborhood

Bought 3 for a conference I organize, and they work beautifully, only complaint is that they will not work with iPads, even with the adapters- no idea why not and the company would not return an email to address my concerns or any resolutions. other than that, they are great quality and did the trick for a 2 day conference on 8x8 screens. go for it if you use a laptop!

Nice, bright picture with excellent contrast and colour reproduction. The focus is maybe too good however, given the low (800x600) resolution, as I can quite easily see the individual pixels on the screen when I'm watching. If you're super-fussy about your image quality, I recommend going for the higher-resolution (1024x768) XGA version, but otherwise it's a brilliant unit.

This thing is awesome for gaming and movies!! I've heard of lag due to projectors, but I don't notice it at all with this projector!
I do kind of wish I had upgraded to HD for the price at the time, but its great just as is.

I am a review junky and take a very long time reading and comparing before I make any significant purchase.
I am very glad for purchasing the product. This is a great projector.

Wonderful projector. Very versatile, very good picture quality. Lot of options to connect. Recommended.

The ViewSonic PJD5134 is a remarkable product and I'm glad I purchased it along with Amazon recommended HDMI Cable and SainSonic 3D glasses.

The VS 5134 projector is an excellent value at its $350 price. I live in a small studio apartment and this projector satisfies all my needs in this living environment.

This projector is classified as a business product but provides full functionality for people wanting to create their own private home cinema.

I have read criticism in several amazon reviews for the PJD5134's audio system built into this projector unit. However, I highly value and appreciate this projector's audio system. To boost audio output from it, I connect an old $25.00 small, portable, 2 channel stereo audio system designed for PC support (6 Watts RMS per channel) to projector's 1/8th inch stereo audio output jack. I can connect stereo headphones to added audio system to keep the room relatively quiet at night for my sleeping dog. I have to be careful that I don't disturb next door neighbors after 10 PM at night with excessive high volume audio. So, this audio setup avoids quiet hours disturbance issue. My Philips 2985 3D Blu-Ray player only has one RCA component type connector dedicated for Dolby TrueHD audio output which at this time I don't want to get involved with. No other audio output connectors exist on BD player. But the ViewSonic PJD5134 has come to the rescue and provided the audio output type that I need for my situation.

3D performance is excellent when viewed on highly reflective white matte screen material. If you view 3D when projected on semi-gloss off-white painted wall, it won't look anywhere near as good as picture projected on white matte screen material. The 47 minute documentary called "The Universe" produced for the History Channel by A & E, is truly spectacular in 3D!

This projector can be a valuable tool for evaluating DVD and BD disc picture quality and will reveal fuzzy focus or slightly out-of-focus issues that can exist on BD as well as DVD discs. I recommend this projector for BD and DVD manufacturers who are interested in monitoring quality control on video discs they manufacture.

If you light your cigars with $100 bills, you might want to opt for a different and more expensive projector. However, for me, this projector is more than adequate. I have my projector setup to project a video picture that is around 7 feet wide. It makes watching 32 inch LCD picture inadequate.

I have seen 60 inch diagonal Mitsubishi Plasma (rear projector) TV in a big, bulky, heavy cabinet and the picture is really stunning on 1080 P mode. But the 5 pound ViewSonic video projector is so much more easily handled and used. Projected movies are much closer to a true movie theater experience than "vivid" enhanced LCD or Plasma TVs.

The ViewSonic projector has a "movie" mode that kicks in when it senses optical disc is being played and makes adjustments automatically to the picture. The picture is always nice looking in this mode.

I'm in video watching heaven!

I'm glad I stumbled across this projector while browsing at the Amazon website. I'm glad I waited a while before jumping on the 3D bandwagon. Good things come to those that wait!

This projector is used in a small auditorium and works phenomenally w a laptop computer. It's been in use for quite a while now so can testify it's a quality product that lasts!!!

Perfect for what I wanted it for - an outside movie screen. Nothing like having a drive in experience in your own backyard!

Bulb pins were too thick and had to cut them to fit. Strange burning smell but picture quality is fine
