Good for bright room

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

Style: Full HD 1080pVerified Purchase

I have this projector in a room that has two large windows and two sky lights. I'm not going to tell you that when the sun is coming through the ceiling and hitting the wall this projector is still good. However, when the sun is not directly on the screen, the picture is very serviceable. Any time after the sun moves lower in the sky the picture is outstanding. Obviously, when it's darker the image can't be beat.

I project on a 120" screen and making adjustments was no problem at all. I would like the picture to be a little crisper, but in general it's quite good. I plan to use this to project onto a 300" screen for the Super Bowl. The throw ratio supports this plan.

If you need a picture in a brighter room, this is an excellent option. Sound quality is decent, but I use a sound bar in lieu of the built-in speakers.

Awesome Brightness!

Bought this for my restaurant for showing movies and sports during the day. We had a different one that just wasn't bright enough during the day. Our spot has LOTS of windows, so it's super bright during the day, and so I was worried that this one might also not be bright enough. But it's awesome.

High Quality A/V Reproduction

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2016

Style: XGAVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This projector puts out a very clear image from a relatively small chassis.
I found that one of the best features of the design is the vertical lens shift which allows you the flexibility to place the projector in various locations in the space that you are using.

Also, you can hook up almost anything to this projector. Here is a list of the connectors with quantity:
1 x USB 2.0 TYPE A
1 x ETHERNET LAN (RJ45)
1 x 3.5MM AUDIO OUT
2 x 3.5MM AUDIO IN
3 x HDMI 1.4
1 x HDMI MHL
2 x VGA IN
1 x VGA OUT
1 x COMPOSITE RCA VIDEO IN
1 x S-VIDEO IN
1 x MINI USB
1 x MICRO USB

Here are some specifications:
Weight: 13.89 lbs
Width: 19.6 in.
Height: 12.5 in.
Depth: 5.6 in.

Here's the legend for the attached images:
1 - Cable Management
2 - Vertical Lens Shift
3 - IR Remote Sensor
4 - Projection Lens
5 - PortAll™ (HDMI/MHL)
6 - Zoom ring
7 - Focus ring
8 - Monitor Out
9 - Power Switch
10 - HDMI (x3)
11 - LAN
12 - Menu Controls
13 - Kensington® Lock Slot
14 - AC In
15 - VGA (x2)
16 - Audio/Video In
17 - Audio In/Out
18 - IR Passthrough
19 - USB
20 - 12V DC Trigger
21 - RS232
22 - 3D VESA
23 - USB type Mini B

It also has 2 internal (10W) speakers that provide some decent sound, although you will most likely be hooking up external speakers.

The only thumbs down that I give it is that It does heat up quite a bit after watching a normal length movie. Otherwise, this really works well in so many different sized spaces as well as lighting variations.

Great picture, but onboard sound was flakey during testing

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016

Style: Full HD 1080pVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

First thought was, it's big. I have a tiny little 3COM LED projector, about 3 inches square and an less than 2 inches tall. It doesn't do 1080, but still it's little. This one's LENS opening is about big enough for me to insert my little projector right there, like a small shuttle returning to the mothership to dock.

Ports along the back are easy to identify and access. The unit also comes with a smooth shell cover for cable management in the back for permanent installations, once you've got it wired up how you want it, four screws will hold this over the back, hiding all the plugs from sight, giving it a smooth appearance.

I had picked up a 100 inch screen to test this with. The screen was absolute rubbish and I've set it up for a return, but it gave me a bit of a chance to play on a real screen before I started using my huge ceiling (cathedral ceilings at an angle, so things actually project well up there).

First thing I hate - this does NOT do well projecting "straight out" - it actually projects UPWARD from the direction the projector is pointing. So picture it pointing straight level, the picture is HIGHER UP than where it physically points... Unless you're going to get something under the back end to prop it up, to point this UNDER the screen, the picture will be too high. I really wish this wasn't the case, since i makes it more of a pain for me to mount where I wanted it mounted. Oddly enough, the front feet for adjusting it UPWARDS are great - lots of travel, quick and easy, no twisting or anything. It's so insanely easy to tilt this upwards, but since it already makes the picture HIGHER than you're aiming, unless you're going to shoot on your ceiling, they would've been better off with feet on the back too so you could point it DOWN to get the picture more at the level you'd expect.

Now, other than that caveat, so far this actually has been visually impressive. The picture is crisp and bright. I had this set up next to my 65" 4K Sony LED TV, during the late afternoon, so sun was still up, and all my blinds are just sheer white, won't block light. And while at the brightest point of my playing after work some of the edges were washed out due to the brightness, as evening wore on, it became very visible FAR earlier than I had expected. And next to my TV, the brightness was amazing.

Of course, with the 4K TV upscaling everything, I couldn't get a picture AS crisp as on the TV, but watching some of the test materials, such as Zootopia, Inside Out, Star Trek, Avatar, and Wall-E, I was very amazed at how clear the picture was on the projector's screen.

Even my computer's desktop, and windows explorer, everything looked very good.

Heat - this beast pushes out a TON of heat. Be prepared for that - it was another day in the 90's today, and this really kept the area around it uncomfortable after a while despite the air conditioning being on. Wintertime, this will be a handy portable heater.

The controls are simple. And there's a TON of adjustment for keystoning - making it easy to adjust it for the angle of the screen.

Sound - I was never able to get sound to work on it as you'd expect. Now granted, most people spending this much money will have surround sound systems in their HT rooms for audio playback, and won't need this device's playback feature. But if you're planning on using this as your playback device, don't anticipate simply using it via HDMI for audio. I have several laptops and a convertible tablet here, and each one I tried, failed. I could connect the HDMI cable, and if I'd touch the volume slider, I'd get the very beginning of a sound, then nothing, as if the first bit of sound to come through totally horked up the processor and it couldn't deal with sound at all again, until the next time it was disconnected and reconnected, then I'd get a split second of sound out of it again, then absolute silence. So out of curiosity I grabbed a 1/8" stereo cable, plugged it in the headphones out on my computers, and into the audio in for this, and still nothing. While playing around with the remote and the menu options, I found a "reset" and tried that, even though I had made no changes other than keystoning, and then sound worked. But again, still only through the 1/8" cable. Even though my computer showed the audio device as the projector via HDMI, sound only worked if I used the 1/8" cable. As soon as I disconnected it, sound stopped. Reconnect, and you'd expect sound to work again, right? I never stopped the movie playback, so that should've been all it needed. Nope. Had to do the reset again and then sound worked again.

Sad behavior from a device at this price point, and hopefully it'll be addressed in a firmware update. Since this has a LAN port, and is IP addressable, hopefully it'll get firmware updates to fix issues like this. But again, most people will have this hooked up to a surround sound system, so hardly a showstopper for most buyers.

Within the remote menu, there's a ton of options that you can do, including a nice one for individual corner adjustment. So you can get granular control over each corner one at a time, rather than keystoning. But it states that keystone adjustments will wipe these adjustments out, so beware that keystone adjustments will win in that battle and wipe out any individual corner settings.

The replacement lamp is RLC-103 and the cost I've found is about 525 USD on the Viewsonic website.

There is no manual, just a pictograph quick start thing (at least that shows how to get the cover off for the storage compartment / 4th HDMI input / wireless dongle attachment spot). There's a CD that I assume has a detailed owners manual on it, but since my laptops don't have on-board optical drives, I didn't check since I prefer usually to download a manual from online in PDF format. Of course, this one has no online manual yet, so I'll have to take the disc into work to see if it has a PDF file that I can just copy to my HP Spectre convertible.

I'll update this more as I come across more things, and especially if I ever figure out why the sound is so screwed up and won't work most of the time.

If it weren't for the sound issues, I'd give this 5 stars, visual quality is just stunning. The brightness is amazing compared to other projectors I've seen (although as I stated, I've only OWNED the one small one for meetings, but I have a few friends with projectors so I'm comparing this to those, albeit not directly side by side). It's more visible in brighter environments than I expected from a projector, is crisp and vivid even just on my white painted drywall ceiling, and even more so on an actual screen.

But for this price, I would expect everything to work and the flakiness of the sound input functions just shouldn't be an issue for this kind of cost.

I ended up permanently mounting it off a floating wall that separates my kitchen and great room, so it's about 9 feet up in the air, and I put in a nice motorized 125" screen over the bay window of my great room. I find we're using this a LOT more than I had anticipated simply because it's amazing to see the movies, or my video games like Destiny, on the huge screen.

And for people who complain that I dropped a star because of my "ignorance" about projectors and how it wouldn't project straight, you need to read more carefully, I clearly stated the sound issue is why it lost a star.

Super Beamer

Reviewed in Germany on January 18, 2018

Style: Full HD 1080pVerified Purchase

"Er hat ein helles Licht." "Und was macht das?" "Es leuchtet hell!" (...frei nach Rambo).
Sogar sehr hell. Ein Riesending, der Beamer. Etwa doppelt so groß wie ein herkömmliches Gerät. Diese Abmessungen sollte man beachten. Es kann ja sein, dass er nicht überall hinpasst.
Das Rädchen oben in der Mitte zum Verstellen der Höhe des Bildes ging anfangs einmal, dann schon nicht mehr. Ist wohl defekt. Aber das ist nahezu irrelevant, er hat ja vorne zwei stabile Füße zum Aus-/Einfahren. Und wenn er einmal richtig steht, dann steht er.
Das Bild lässt sich von der Größe her super variieren. Bei uns steht der Beamer ca. 3 m von der Leinwand weg. Das Bild geht von winzig klein bis 3 m breit. Da die Leinwand nur 2 m breit war, wurde noch eine neue angeschafft. Selbst bei 3 m Breite ist das Bild gestochen scharf.
Einen Nachteil habe ich bisher bemerkt: die schöne, schwarze Fernbedienung hat kein Knopf für "Standbild". Nur schwarzes Bild. Ich hatte oft, wenn die Schulungsteilnehmer gearbeitet haben, kurz eine andere Datei geöffnet und etwas nachgesehen, eingetragen oder vorbereitet. Das geht jetzt nicht mehr, weil alle zuschauen könnten. Echt schade.
Ansonsten einfach ein Wahnsinns-Beamer!

Bonne puissance lumineuse pour une projection confortable. Connectique bien fournie (4 hdmi). J'apprécie particulièrement la possibilité de décentrer l'appareil sur le côté sans distorsion d'image. D'autres plus : La focale assez courte qui permet d'avoir une grande image sans beaucoup de recul, la fonction blank qui permet d'occulter l'image projetée pendant les réglages sur l'ordinateur. En résumé, un bon vidéoprojecteur professionnel.
Seule réserve : Il dégage une chaleur importante. Un vrai radiateur soufflant!

Dies war der erste Beamer, den ich bestellte. Habe auf ganz bestimmte Kriterien geachtet, die wichtig für mich sind. Leider aber ist es nach meinem Empfinden unmöglich, in unmittelbarer Nähe des Beamers zu sitzen. Er pustet extrem viel und heiße Luft aus den seitlichen Lüftungsschlitzen und ist relativ laut. Das Bild allerdings ist wirklich gut. Bei ca. 3,50 m x 2,50 riesiges relative scharfes Bild, Farben auch akzeptabel, Kontrast für Filme noch ok. Viele Einstellmöglichkeiten sind interessant. Preis-Leistung ist sicher ok, aber mich störte dieser extrem stinkende und starke Lüftungsstrom.
