852 Projector POS 5 i order the advanced hd port lcd projector for my son for christmas . the delivery date be for the 29th but it arrive on the 22nd ! it have great picture quality and every thing be in the carton that be suppose to be there . do not have any complaint at all about service or quality . 760 Projector POS 5 we need a projector pronto on one of my project . I volunteer to order one , and really find a good deal at Electronics Expo . good price , fast shipping , and very good quality product for a reasonable price . will use this seller again . 946 Projector POS 4 it be good ... bring it a year ago for the family and it be still run good ... find out how to get it brighter , I like to hook it up to my laptop and use the projector as a second monitor on the laptop and the laptop provide even further brightness and saturation and contrast option -lrb- for the second monitor setting -rrb- , allow I to brighten the scene up and fix the contrast immensely . so for its price , it be worth it . however it can be a little frustrating , if I have it too bright for dark movie , the lighter scene will have a wash out look with too much brightness , and if I have it too dark for the brighter movie , the darker scene will be harder to make out on screen . but there with a little tweaking here and there , you can find a balance between the two if you be willing to accept it be shortcoming ... all in all , though , not bad at all . the only one who seem frustrated the most be myself , and my kid and wife do not even notice , they just enjoy it . so if you do not tell anyone they might miss a detail or two , nobody will notice . for myself though , I would say it be good enough most time . color be really bright , they pop out like liquid candy , there be no problem with the picture quality other than the brightness factor . I like how I can get the screen to take up half the wall in my living room on a dark night , definitely like a night out at the movie , especially with we external speaker hook up as well ... only downside from hook it up to my laptop be the lag on its dvd drive ... think about get a external dvd drive for it ... 8 Projector POS 4 be grate for watch tv and play game for the price you cant beat it not the best but not the worst good for family night 61 Projector NEG 2 I really though I would like this product . I have do everything I could to do so . it work fine with my i-touch , not at all with my 20010 Mac Book . Technical support have be completely unhelpful . they actually tell I after I wait 48 hour for they response to see the faq section on they website , as if I have not think of that before contact they . that be most of the sum total of they support . I be quite upset and unsure of what to do wit this product now . return it seem the best option . the only redeeming aspect of this product as the size of the product and the fact that it work on low wattage be perfect for someone like myself who like movie yet live off grid . the manual to hook this product up should have a Mac section . the manual be pretty terrible . I own other optoma product . I do not plan on buy anymore . I guess product warrant the positive review it get if you have a pc 718 Projector POS 5 so , after month of search for the right projector I decide on purchase the ep739 for 6 reason . 1 -rrb- the price , -lrb- $ 850 -rrb- that be hard to beat ! 2 -rrb- 720p , 1080i high definition picture . I have already watch Superman Returns and Mission impossible iii in 720p and it look incredible ! I have not see the 1080i picture yet , but I can only imagine ! 3 -rrb- 2,500 lumen for a nice bright image . I have a apartment with many window which be not ideal for a projector , but the ep739 do just fine . close the blind and turn off the light and get ready for a killer picture ! 4 -rrb- the input . S-Video , Composite -lrb- RCA -rrb- , VGA and DVI connection . some of you may be confuse about the VGA input and the DVI input . do not be , because I be go to clear that up for you right now . first up , VGA be analog and DVI be digital . that be the important thing to know . you can purchase a component adapter for the VGA input and a HDMI adapter for the DVI input . cool huh ? so do not shy away from purchase this projector because it do not have component or hdmus connection . it be a easy fix ! 5 -rrb- 5,000 hour lamp life !!! in all of my search for the perfect projector , I never come across another projector with 5,000 hour of lamp life . Eco mode will dim the picture a tad , but to be honest with you , it look fine . 6 -rrb- small and quiet . sure there be some fan noise but it be not bad at all . a friend of mine have a older projector and while watch a movie , you have to crank the surround sound to wash out the fan noise . not with the ep739 . my projector sit 5 foot from my head , and I hardly know it be there . and the size of this thing be small . it be hard to believe that such a small machine can produce a 25 foot picture !!! $ 2,000 - $ 3,000 for a 42 '' plasma or $ 850 for a theater like picture ... that be a no brainer for I !!! 9 Projector NEU 3 there seem to be a awful lot of hype surround this projector . after the initial `` WOW ! '' factor its all down hill . sure its a bargain , but unreliable and , in my experiance , cant take a beating . after just 1 month the fan start make this awful , high pitched , buzz sound and the tech support , like all tech support , give you and ansewer that be 100 % correct , yet absolutly usless . for the money , you better off with 32inch lcd tv or something . 79 Projector NEG 1 impress by review i get this projector but very disappointing ... it have scratch all over the body cover more than that project get over heated and get switch off every 10 min : -lrb- : -lrb- : -lrb- 441 Projector POS 4 for those who want they house to sound like a true movie theater , this may not be the system for you . what I can say be I have no desire to run wire to the back of the room for rear speaker and this sound projecter keep I from do so . it as quick to install , it be completely self contain , and the sound quality be good . I use for both television and listen to music . the only issue I can say I have , be the volume be a little low when use as a home stereo . for the price , I would recommend this to anyone . 881 Projector NEG 1 I buy this mount base on a review by someone who say that he have have the same projector that I have -lrb- Epson 8100 -rrb- . I use this as a wall mount in the back of my room which I be tell I can . the mount should be gear drive as it slip because it be a smooth connection . the set screw do not hold it in place as they should , it still slip and the projector rest against the wall . I have have to readjust my screen to fit the configuration that this mount have decide for I . it state that it will hold projector weigh much more than mine but it will not even hold my 18lb projector without slip . I do not recommend this mount . 515 Projector POS 4 the installation be pretty straight forward . however , adjust it , as one reviewer have mention , can be tricky . when you begin to tighten the allen screw , the arm tend to move in the direction of the turn . also , tighten one axis sometimes jolt the other axis as well . as a result , I have have to just nudge the arm a little even after they be tighten to get they to position correctly . however , when all say and do , this be a extremely good mount . in fact , be be the only one I have find that be able to move my projector forward in the direction of projection . 592 Projector POS 5 I get the item earlier than the estimate date . I be the correct item . I have no problem with the item or shipment . 434 Projector POS 4 the projector be lightweight , easy to set up and work well with ipad , iPhone and iPod Touch with the only include cable . surprisingly the speaker be good and there be a audio out port to connect external speaker . here be some con : 1 . it be only limited to Apple device and computer with VGA output . so you can not connect Android phone , Kindle Fire etc. . 2 . it mirror only ipad 2 and also need VGA cable for that . 3 . build in stand be flimsy and you need a tripod . 4 . amazing that a three hundred buck device do not include a 2 dollar bag to keep charger , cable , projector and a small tripod in one bag . 5 . the manual be incomplete , e.g. there be a micro usb port on the cable without any mention in the manual . I presume it be for charge . 6 . relatively expensive . with these limitation , the device work well . 216 Projector NEG 1 too bad the excellent electronics and picture be totally cancel out by a bulb that do not last as advertise . Epson tout 4000 hour lamp life , but it be a BIG lie ! first bulb last 660 hour , die after the 90 day warranty on the bulb , but be replace under a secret extension to the warranty by Epson . second bulb last 700 hour , but the overall 2 year warranty be up , so tough luck . so , two bulb , 25 month of service , 1360 hour . you need to figure a new $ 270 bulb for each year of life when you calculate the cost to operate this pj . 660 Projector POS 5 if you want to setup a really super home theater system for a reasonable price this be a great place to start . I have have this unit for about a week and have not once turn on my 42 '' plasma tv to watch a show . the picture quality be excellent whether you be watch the game of the week in hd or you favorite movie on dvd or hdtv . Placement of you projector be make easy by the front adjustment lens control . this unit be ideal for projection from a bookcase against a rear wall . the room should have a modest amount of light control for decent viewing . the preprogramed projection mode seem to compensate for most media and room viewing condition very nicely . I have install a 80x60 electric ceiling mount flat white screen , which match well with this projector for light control and off angle viewing . I can not think of a thing they could do to make this project better except maybe to boost the lamp power another 200 to 400 lumen for larger brighter room . but the current 1000 lumen be close to ideal for home theater with a 92 '' diagonal view image . Picture quality be nothing short of excellent . this projector be a replacement for a NEC 156 which I have and will continue to use for PowerPoint slide . the NEC have never be the greatest video projector due to lack of contrast and scaling . however , the Panasonic AE700u 's proprietary film imaging system consist of dynamic iris , user controllable color management , smooth screen pixel edge elimination , and progressive cinema scanning with hd-id be truely amazing , if not breathe take to watch . a note of caution , the only problem I have be one of cable . I try use some old video cable to connect this unit initially but have drop signal and poor image . when connect with good cable -lrb- not great one -rrb- this unit come to life . you can spend more and you can spend less but it will be hard to find a better image projector for you home theater system . 707 Projector POS 5 Projector Lamp be as it be put forth ! work out of the box without any modification . lamp work with a fast warm up and with no flicker start ! thanks for a great product ! 951 Projector POS 5 the projector itself be very good . bright picture with the 2500 lumen but actually when I check on the viewsonic website it say 2700 lumen . the fan be not that noisey . for I its quiet . and I be also use the economic lamp option so the fan be on low and the brightness also on low but still with light turn off you get a bright picture . I project it on the wall for now still get the pull down screen from the rebate . the contrast be also good even on the wall . setup be quick from out the box only take I 5min less and it be on live ! well I read the manual before it arrive so I get the idea of what to do already . when it shut down you have to press the power button twice , one then another one with a bit longer press then it start the cool down , for a minute or 2 then it turn off fan and lamp but the power button will still be blinking blue let you know that it be still plug in . it blow warm air on its side . I have not try the 3d feature yet . it be very light weight easy to carry around and smaller than I expect . overall I be very happy with my purchase and I and my family be now enjoy a very big screen for movie in we bedroom . 605 Projector POS 5 I read all the review and be skeptical that I could really get a high-end projector for the low price . I compare pricing to unit at BestBuy and Costco , but this be really a great deal . I use the projector for power point presentation and also connect it to my laptop so we could watch a movie on the wall . very quick and easy to set up . I like that it be so small and compact . I buy a carry case separately , but it would have be nice if it be include , as the one I purchase be soft-sided and the cord be quite large for the pocket . 542 Projector POS 4 this projector be really easy to use and seem very durable . it be really easy to hook up , however , I have a mac and you need to purchase a different cable than what come in the box-depending on how new you laptop\/mac computer be . the image quality be pretty good-but I think it be really terrific for work related usage and for viewing with small gathering . mean it be not like have a movie theater in you home but for the basics-presentation , screen something for a group of people I think it be a good price and a durable , easy to use machine . 7 Projector POS 5 just have to order my first replacement bulb for the 8100 , get 1750 hour out of it and have have no other issue whatsoever . as I be check for replacement bulb on Amazon I think I would check on the review for this projector and be surprise to find out about all the problem people have , especially with the bulb . I buy the unit in November of 09 -lrb- previously own a Panasonic -rrb- and have use it almost daily since then . set up be in the basement , good airflow , room temperature year round at about 68 degree . I clean the filter monthly , have not touch the fan yet , run in ECO mode at all time . under these condition I have have zero issue with the unit , and even though I actually feel that 1750 hour be a bit low -lrb- I get 2500 hour on the Panasonic -rrb- , see the complaint on here I guess I can count myself lucky . I would also mention that no one can ever seriously expect the hour on a lamp that a manufacturer estimate , 4000 hour be practically impossible to achieve , but I do expect around 2500 hour or so . have say that , I be overall extremely happy with the product and be wait for the replacement bulb to arrive soon . if any other issue arise , I will update . 285 Projector NEG 1 sent the wrong item , had to RETURN IT at MY COST . NOT SATISFIED . EVEN SENT the old lamp back so THEY COULD compare it to WRONG one THEY SENT . TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT accept it and return it BUT DID not send the right bulb . now I must re order and hope I get the right one . 225 Projector POS 4 the projector work wonder , only exception I have be if it have its own disc reader and mount for external speaker but that would only make the price go up more . do a great job , fairly easy to set up and use . 470 Projector NEG 1 this product simply do not work in transmit video from a ipad to a projector . I return it for credit . 763 Projector NEU 3 I buy this projector from Walmart at the beginning of July . I use it for about a month , primarily play Xbox and watch movie on it . I use a VGA cable to connect it to the Xbox and it be great for a while . it work flawlessly for a low resolution projector . randomly today , I try to power it up and play a game and the light just turn off . I could switch to composite video and the light would turn back on . Thought when I try to play xbox on the composite setting , it would not work . I call customer service ... let 's just say do not even bother with that . they be worthless . all in all , fun projector , but do not expect much life out of it . 137 Projector POS 5 I love this little powerhouse projector . the image quality be great ! I have try several connection to the projector . usb thumb drive - I have test several - a new thumb drive with a small amount file on it work best . I load a couple of movie file and a PowerPoint it seem to work fine with both . I plug in my trusty back-up Sandisk that I purchase about a year ago , with several file , it recognize that it be a mass storage device but it do not recognize that I have any file on it . I take my Micro sd card out of my android phone and it could see the file and folder . I could view Office document -lrb- but it would not open up pdf -rrb- . I could also view video , music , etc from this . hdmus connection I have issue with the two Android smartphone that I test -lrb- non-iphones -rrb- the problem be that you have to plug the device in before you start , if you plug it in after you turn on the projector it would go into search mode and not pick up the device . I project the image on my pale yellow office wall , with two light on , and I could still see the image clearly , it get better as I turn out the light . the window light still come in , and I still get a great image . so far so good . con : just one Vivitek customer support be very difficult to get through to , and when you do they do not return phone call . 670 Projector NEG 1 I have purchase this projector12 month back and be face a problem as brief below and possible solution try but the problem be still not fix . 1 -rrb- the projector power off after 30-60 seconds on start and go on stand by -lrb- yellow light -rrb- . it then show a red light of power off 2 -rrb- the projector do not start after this with the remote 3 -rrb- it have to be power off from the main and then restart 4 -rrb- earlier , this use to happen once and now it behave abnormally and sometimes it have to be restart even upto 8 time or sometimes even just 2 time 5 -rrb- after this , the projector do not shut down and movie can be watch for even as long as 8-10 hour the projector be give to a service center who do not find any problem in the hardware -lrb- power ballast , fan , bulb etc be ok -rrb- . they have suggest that the PCB mainboard should be change which cost as much as a new projector . 299 Projector NEG 2 I wish I have see the `` costly mistake '' review before I buy my 8100 in Feb. . I , too see the concern about `` beta '' unit , and discount they . well , I be initially a very satisfied buyer . this be the second projector I have own , the first be a Panasonic 720P pt ax200u . the 8100 be a big improvement over that one in picture quality , perceive brightness , etc. , as it should be , be several year newer technology and 1080p resolution . for 600 hour and 5 month , I be happy . then all of a sudden , the bulb severely dim . I spend the next 5 minute check various setting , hope to make this go away so we can finish watch the movie we be streaming from Amazon , then POP -lrb- loud -rrb- go my bulb , like the old-school flashbulb of yore , scare the \* ^ -lrb- \* ^ out of I and my wife . the next day , I check my warranty information , and discover that the advertised 4000 hour bulb be only warranteed for 90 day . my bad , should have read the fine print . I go online and find out that I be not alone , other have be experience this same kind of premature failure , and there be hint that Epson be `` extend '' the 90 day in the interest of customer service . so , I try the Epson `` direct customer line '' card provide with my projector , only to find the pin the supply on the card be not valid . ok , I spend my dime and call the support toll number . I describe my problem to the 1st level support specialist , and he instantly transfer I to a `` projector bulb specialist '' who take my info . and with no argument agree to send I a replacement bulb , after walk I through the extraction procedure -lrb- little bit of glass rain down on I in the process , as it be ceiling mount -rrb- . ok , I say , I be a satisfied customer , but kind of worried about the next bulb 's life . three day later , the bulb arrive , it be the WRONG one . I call support , same drill , this time they keep I on the hold for a long time , then transfer I to a `` customer relation '' specialist . she proceed to tell I that Epson policy be that they can not send I the correct replacement until they receive the wrong one back , and that I can not return it until they send I a return label . I say , wait a minute , this be you fault , not mine , I be not happy about this , my projector will be down a week , be not there someone who can authorize a expedited replacement , you can take my credit card # for security ? no , she say , due to the value of the bulb , it be company policy , and that be that . five day later , I finally get the return label , which be send regular US Mail , and it be for regular ground shipment , not even expedite . take 3 more day for they to get it , and then they do Fedex Next Day the replacement , but after the cutoff , so I finally get the replacement more than two week after the failure . it work so far , but who know how long it will last , or if they 'll replace another one after more time . have to be without live room entertainment for 2 week , and deal with service that do not care about customer satisfaction or even get the part #s right be not that entertaining , either . probably the last Epson product I 'll ever buy . my 3 1\/2 year old Panasonic projector be still go strong , install elsewhere , on it be first bulb , after 3000 hour , ironically . 925 Projector NEG 2 my concern with this projector be that it be very marginal for my intended use . the resolution of the projector be only 800 x 600 and when project smaller type figure they project so fuzzy that they be almost unreadable on the screen . Epson 's tech support be very good however and they isolate the problem for I and finally suggest that I need to upgrade the projector for what I be try to do . for someone want to use the projector for power point presentation with very large letter it would be ok or for project just photo or video it work ok . for my use however , I buy cheap and pay the price in it be utility . 467 Projector POS 5 battery backup , after initial time set automatically set the time and date in case of power interruption , project the time on a ceiling or wall , easy to program , choice of alarm sound , ambient sleep ` noise ' option , easy to read led display ... the list go on and on . for the money , this be a great radio\/alarm clock ! 922 Projector NEG 1 I buy this lamp to replace the one in my ep719 projector , follow the instruction that come with the bulb , and it blow up my projector . I think maybe I get a defective lamp , but the other reviewer that have the same thing happen make I think these be just junk . Stay away ! although I do get a refund for the bulb itself , neither Amazon or the seller offer to replace or fix my projector . for try to save $ 30 , I lose hundred ! 153 Projector NEG 1 I buy this projector 2 month ago and it have already break on I ! have maybe watch 10 movie on it top and now it be not turn on . when I speak to customer service about this issue they be totally helpless and insist that I pay they $ 75 to send it in and have to inspect it . I find this totally insane since I have hardly use it and clearly this be a poorly make product . if you be consider get a projector do not get this one . they have awful customer support and cheap product . 479 Projector POS 4 I buy this as a Christmas present for my husband who love electronics . Use will be for gaming with the Wii -lrb- until we kid we older and he get that PS3 or XBox he want -rrb- , and movie blue-ray\/dvd watch purpose . my kid be thrill with the idea of a `` movie theater '' in we game room . I be impress with the picture for the price I pay , and no , it be not hd , but it be pretty cool if you ask I -lrb- as a electronics novice -rrb- . he say , great picture , very bright . some difficulty in find the component to VGA cable - it must be order off the internet . right now , he be just use what come with , and be still fairly happy with it . Picture be pretty clear even with three window in we game room - even better in the dark\/at night . we be very pleased with the product , for the price . he have no idea what I pay for it , but seem very impressed . rate lower ease of set up due to find cable , etc. but if you know ahead of time what to order , you should be fine . 56 Projector NEU 3 the product work real well and I have not have any problem with the product . 59 Projector POS 5 I get this projector as a wedding gift and actually get totally hooked on it . we have a nice flat screen television already , but the projector be a whole new viewing experience . it be so easy to set up and hardly take any time at all to focus the picture perfectly . now movie night really have that movie theater experience too . 284 Projector NEU 3 finally there be a projector one can afford . I be quite pleased with the quality of the projection . in addition to 1024x768 VGA , it also handle hdtv 1080us as well as all other current video standard -lrb- ntsc-pal\/secam -rrb- . unfortunately , the image be not bright enough to see in a well light room ; you 'll have to turn out all the light to see the output from this projector . Great for watch you dvd , make presentation , or just plain fun -lrb- surf the web on a 200 '' screen be quite nice : - -rrb- . con : the bulb be rate for 1440 hour of use before it supposedly explode , discharge toxic mercury vapor into you view area . I do not like the price tag of the bulb either ... for a projector bulb be simply outrageous ! and if you use you projector like I do , expect to replace it every year -lrb- and you think ink-jet be expensive to operate -rrb- . my advice : wait for other company to release ` consumer-priced ' projector and pray that the replacement bulb will be more economical . \* or \* buy yourself a -lrb- -rrb- CRT projector , problem solve ! 3 - -rrb- ... 889 Projector NEG 1 I buy this projector to upgrade my home theater from 2d to 3d . the projector function quite well in 2d and have a lot of 3d bell and whistle -lrb- I be assume for gaming -rrb- , but can not play 3d Bluray dvd 's because it do NOT have a hdmus input . while I realize this may be a small problem for most people ; it be something that should be disclose in the product description from the manufacturer . 736 Projector POS 5 THIS be the best purchase that I do . the product be to thin and I can travel with it without ANY problem . I recommend this product ! 697 Projector POS 5 this projector its awesome , work very good , it be really handy and i can bring it everywhere , really easy to use and very useful . it be a really worthy item at that price 904 Projector POS 5 the InFocus ScreenPlay 4800 be a reincarnation of the very popular InFocus ' x1 DLP Projector . the 4800 have a remote but , otherwise , be identical to the x1 . recently InFocus have release a x2 model which have 1500 lumen -lrb- brighter bulb , up from 1000\/1100 lumen -rrb- . since Amazon like to know about best pricing you can obtain a x2 for about $ 1000 and the x1 be available for $ 900 at various vendor 's on the internet . I purchase my screenplay 4800 at Costco for $ 1200 and it include a 6 ' by 3.8 ' self contain -lrb- roll down or up from floor -rrb- screen which be at least a $ 200 value . this projector -lrb- 4800 -rrb- be a outstanding value and perform with stunning clarity and overall excellence . the accompany documentation be thorough and setup be very easy . I have use the projector for viewee dvd 's , watch standard cable broadcast sport and tv programming and for project my computer -lrb- notebook -rrb- display all with great ease and great satisfaction . dvd movie view use the projector 's component input produce crystal clear image that be smooth and virtually amazing . the lamp life be rate at generous 4000 hour and a replacement lamp be price at $ 300 . any flat white wall will do nicely if you do not have a view screen . even though I have a projection screen I purchase a 48 '' by 36 '' clear white -lrb- reflective -rrb- `` marker board '' -lrb- $ 9.00 -rrb- and mount it on the wall in my home studio and the result be as good as any $ 3000 + plasma screen tv . the dlp technology rock ! Infocus be now -lrb- I believe -rrb- in they 13th generation of projector and they have it down pat . some people may -lrb- very few by percentage -rrb- notice a slight -lrb- and infrequent -rrb- `` rainbow effect '' that be inherent in all dlp technology projector . the `` rainbow effect '' be fleeting and infrequent sparkle in some small area of project video and not something that be continuous nor large -lrb- size of a dime -rrb- . the effect be minimal and fleeting -lrb- one frame -rrb- and be , in my opinion , as close as you can get to `` of no consequence '' . someone who can see these `` rainbow effect '' may notice two or three in a entire feature film . so , if you get a dlp technology projector you may not want to invite any Virgo 's to you screening party . : - -rrb- ideally , to use any projector -lrb- regardless of luman rating -rrb- you need to have control of you ambient lighting . the best viewing be in a room where the lighting can imitate that of a movie theater . you can imagine how a project image would be in a regular movie theater with daylight streaming in through picture window . the same situation will exist in you home . the darker the room the better the visual quality . Night time view present no strategic lighting issue . to get a project image -lrb- 16:9 -rrb- that be 7 foot -lrb- diagonal -rrb- across you will need about 14 foot distance from you projector to you wall or movie screen . eight foot distance will give you a five foot diagonal image . so space -lrb- `` The Final Frontier '' -rrb- be a consideration . the project image also allow for a view angle of about 120 degree unlike plasma screen tv 's . bottom line : the InFocus ScreenPlay 4800 DLP projector be a expression of technological excellence . stellar movie , jaw drop video , ease of use , legendary bulb life , greatly enhance tv viewing , superior mobility , 2 year part and labor warranty -lrb- exclusive of bulb -rrb- at a bargain price compare to plasma screen tv , lcd tv and some rear projection tv 's . with the 4800 I have a `` better than '' plasma screen tv , with a minimal footprint , with a 55 inch diagonal picture -lrb- 8 foot from projector to `` message board '' view screen -rrb- and it actually feel like you be on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise -lrb- Spike tv -rrb- and dvd 's be magnificent and televised sport give you the best seat in the arena . if you be look for a DLP Projector without have to get a advanced degree in Rocket Science then the 4800 fill the bill . O.K. Let 's go to press ! 549 Projector POS 5 two word . `` freak awesome . '' I would use a different word than `` freak '' , but we be in a pg environment here ... anyway , I be a college guy . we have a huge tan wall in we apartment this year . this projector look EXCELLENT , even on a tan color wall . projector be 14 ' away , and we be get a 125 '' picture . funny thing be , that be the smallest we could get it at that distance . clear . massive . `` freak awesome . '' Video game , sport , movie , etc. . . all look fantastic . for the price , you can not beat it . people complain about `` black level '' on this projector , but here be the thing : if you have never own a projector , you would really never know how `` horrible '' the black be -lrb- I think they look pretty black -rrb- . I be think about get the Optoma hd66 , solely base on the black level . I feel like that be a mistake . you can not go wrong with the 2 year warranty from Epson , plus the bulb life on this thing be suppose to be excellent . cheaper replacement bulb than most company as well -lrb- ~ 200 buck , from what i have read -rrb- . wonderful product . College student . buy it . you little apartment turn into a theater . sick nasty . 814 Projector NEU 3 this be very well make and great design concept . there be only one problem , it be no where near bright enough to use in a normal office environment without have most all of the light off . if you be intend to use it in a well light area where you can not dim the light , I do not recommend this . if you have a room where you can turn out all of the light it , will be great . the storage feature allow you to just bring the projector with you which will virtuallly fit in you shirt pocket . 835 Projector NEG 1 I agree with Mr. Mitchell that these be falsely represent as OEM lamp from Optoma . I be in the process of try for a refund - the bulb do not even turn on in the projector . the projector be function perfectly when the last bulb finish its predict life . the seller be extremely anxious that I remove my negative comment and repeatedly request they removal . if other dissatisfied individual have remove they negative comment already , a balanced set of review may not even be available and people will continue to get burn . however , the seller do post a full refund -lrb- incl shipping -rrb- back onto my credit card , when I ship the lamp back . 513 Projector POS 4 the product be very good and meet expectation . I be satisfy with the purchase and recommend it to anyone interested in a quality product . 401 Projector POS 5 I have have this projector for 2 month and have about 250 hour on it . it have be a great buy for we family . the picture quality have just blow we away . watch dvd 's and hd content be great and even during the day when we do have some light in the basement the picture be good . we can not wait for football season this fall . my friend and family can not believe that I be able to buy this projector for under $ 700 . BTW . we be use a paint wall as we screen and have Directv and PS3 , both connect with hdmus . 436 Projector NEG 2 use my computer hdmi out to mini HDMI cable I test this device for a week . I set up the projector on my camera 's tri-pod and project against my bedroom wall . at 1920x1080 text be unreadable . the only resolution where you can read text be the native resolution of 848x480 . however this resolution be so small its hard to see much on the screen at once . I test hd Netflix , dvd , blue-ray disc , SlingPlayer HD stream and Hulu . the picture quality be ok . I see a few rainbow effect and text and subtitle be hard to read . not be able adjust the location of the projector , I be force to project a picture size of 8ft x 5ft . and due to where my chair be , I might have be sit too close . so be able to adjust the picture size smaller might of help . biggest issue 1 -rrb- you can not use the item with you light on , or any light source on in the room . even with my computer monitor on , I notice a big difference in picture . 2 -rrb- fan be very loud when 100 % brightness be and plug into the wall power . 3 -rrb- 848x480 be small 4 -rrb- 1920x1080 text be unreadable 5 -rrb- move the projector be require to adjust output image . even with all the issue , lead projection like this be the future . cheap , small , and good quality -lrb- with a little more work . -rrb- 330 Projector NEU 3 for a little projector it do the job well for basic tv or dvd quality . for game it suck unless its a low graphic game like a rom or old month sega ect . it will hook up to a hdmus but project 800x600 . if you watch movie on it computer to you computer use vlc player and make it brighter and sharpen the picture and it will make it much better . for the monet it be a good buy . 113 Projector POS 4 I have have this iGo projector for a few week now and it be pretty impressive for it be size . that say , the room have to be dimly light for a crisp picture . I purchase it for presentation when I be on the road and the conference room lack a projector . it seem like it will serve this purpose well . it would not be a very good choice as a primary projector in a business setting due to the low picture brightness . the projector come with mini hdmus cable and micro adapter , but no VGA cable . I have search for the VGA cable that supposedly exist and can not find it . since flip the maker of the projector be purchase by Cisco who then discontinue the line , I doubt I 'll ever find one . not a big deal if you laptop have HDMI out capability . also , when I connect this projector to my Droid Charge 's mini hdmus port it will show the mirror screen for a second , then restart the phone . that be probably not the projector 's issue , but I be able to mirror the phone on tv with hdmus in . if you want a small projector to take on the road for business or for watch movie at home this be about as good as it get for the price . 313 Projector POS 5 love the alarm clock , it have 2 alarm that can be set for weekday , weekend , or both : easy to set and alarm signal blink when you use snooze function . 140 Projector POS 5 it be a great product , not full hd but hd ready . not silent but you will not hear it when the film start . the onboard speaker be only usable for some kind of presentation -lrb- maybe -rrb- or in order to test the sound of films\/games if you do not have any speaker at all . if you do not want to waste you money and if you do not have many full HD\/Blue Ray movie -lrb- but rather 720p dvd or lower quality film -rrb- , this one be for you . you can also watch Blue-Ray or 1080p film . disable the auto focus , it be noisy and useless . Eco mode be really sufficient , so you save energy and guarantee a long lamp life . finally , it get hot in the summer after 30 minute so be careful . personnally I recommend Epson , just save money -lrb- it be only 600 $ -rrb- in order to buy a better one in three year and enjoy the movie at home right now ! 419 Projector NEG 1 I be very excite about this item for two reason , its portability , and the fact that the bulb would last a very long time so I would not have to worry about replace it as I travel internationally . unfortunately the projector start malfunction right off the bat . within three month I have to replace the cord , it cost sixty two dollar . after I receive the cord , within a month the new cord do not work correctly . I do not think there be anything wrong with the cord , it appear that at the junction point of the cord go into the projector be a malfunction in the design , as it do not want to sit straight for very long , cause it to not connect correctly , which cause the projection to cease in midstream . ca not watch thing very long before this happen . also , within six month the pixel I think , the screen start show one white dot , then after another month it be three , and after a year it be like sixteen white dot on the screen from the lens coat fall apart or something . bottom line , within one year this thing be a piece of junk , and at four hundred dollar , it s a big disappointment . 248 Projector POS 4 I have be use a projector as my main big screen for about 10 year but when I move from a old house with high ceiling to a new place with a really low ceiling in the basement tv room , I have to find something else . I get this and a nearly flush ceiling mount and it do the trick . I can sit behind the projector rather than have it in the back of the room . I get about a 55 inch screen at only thee foot away . I use it for both cable tv and xbox kinect game . this be the lowest price short throw projector I have see that accept HDMI cable which be a plus . the only star off be for the volume control . it be not infinitely variable ; it just go up 1,2,3,4 etc. so it he difficult to adjust to the right level for some program . I will probably run it though a amp to fix this . oh yeah it have a `` high altitude mode '' I have never even hear of that before but since I live at 4,600 foot , I guess I 'll give it a try . 920 Projector POS 5 we have have we projector for almost 7year and have go through 3bulb which include the original . we use this as we everything tv . typically , we be about 25-30 hour a week of daily tv , movie , and video game . there be no doubt , from day one , that we choose the best tv out there that exceed all we needs\/wants . we project onto a hd 120 '' screen and have all hd component hook up . plenty of other reviews\/sites will give you all the technical datum you need . this be simply a experience review . it be located in we basement , so light be not much of a issue . although there be a vast improvement in dark versus daylight , but it still do a good job when the room be more light . overall , the decision to buy or not to buy be simple : you will not regret you decision to get this ! 102 Projector POS 5 I be in love with this product . it be well design , and brighter than I be expect . mind you , it be not go to compete on brightness with a more expensive , much larger unit . however , it be definitely visible in standard room lighting . the light weight and compact frame make up for that difference , for my purpose . 778 Projector POS 5 before I bring this projector , I read all of the review . many of those review voice a concern about the noise from the fan . I must say I do not hear anything , this product be great much better than I expect we do movie night on Tuesdays , but my husband watch he Sunday football on it weekly . it be be use regularly its hook up to or tv so we be use it and so far have no complaint and trust I when I say I will complain if I be not satisfy with something I spend my money on . I say go for it its a great by . if something change I will post that to . LOL 886 Projector POS 5 this be a very good product if you look for a white screen love it . I have hear gray screen be better but if you look for white this be great for the price 979 Projector POS 4 I recently buy this projector for my daughter and she friend to watch movie outside in the backyard on projection screen I build which be 8ft x 6ft . the projector be use on halloween playing scary movie which they like and be accompany by the home theater surround sound use the hdmus hook-up . the color and brightness of the projector be very good and the resolution be a plus . if you hook it up to the hdmus cable the resolution be great . I play the Wii and Xbox 360 on it as well , work great . do not be cheap and buy some of these no name brand that be on this site . I do that and send mine back . 945 Projector POS 5 I purchase the Benq w6000 from Amazon after previously own a Benq pe8700 + -lrb- which be sell with my old house and I think I pay $ 3700 for it year ago -rrb- . I set up this new home theater with two front BIC 15-inch woofer speaker rtr1530 's - and they be big but just $ 109 each ; , Polk Audio Monitor 50 side unit for $ 102.50 each free ship , and I use older BIC 's that I have rebuild with 12inch woofer for my rear speaker . my subwoofer from Amazon be the BIC f12 475 Watt front firing power subwoofer for $ 182.99 free ship . I hook all this to the Onkyo TXNR808 AV Receiver -lrb- also purchase from Amazon -rrb- and I have DIRECTV and a Blue Ray from Onkyo\/Amazon -- very good quality at just $ 128 -rrb- overall , I would say this diy home theater be great for the total price I pay . my last item purchase from Amazon be the 150 Inch Elite Screens matte white manual pulldown screen ... WOW ! the projector be beautiful , and put out a great picture regardless of HDMI feed . I have no major color correct to do , as out of the box this unit perform brilliantly , with good black and spectacular color . I also buy the $ 39.99 projector mount from VideoSecu via Amazon , which be a bit flimsy in some area but still ok as it will hold the w6000 projector safely . year ago , I would have need $ 15k to do all this with such a quality projector . if you see the 150 inch picture , I feel you would agree . I also see no rainbow , something other complain about with dlp projector . I have this all setup in a 12 ' 7 '' wide by 24 ' dedicated area in my cellar and I be use 95 inch long curtain alomg the side . the Onkyo AVR be one of the 2010 model with 1.4 a and great sound from 135 watt per channel . do not let the low Onkyo price -lrb- $ 679 -rrb- make you think that maybe a different $ 1,500 to $ 2,000 mid level model would be better . just check Home Theater Magazine and you 'll see this Onkyo AV receiver receive top billing , especially for the price . I have always be a Sony receiver purchaser , but with this onkyo I be well pleased . the front BIC 15-inch speaker be big as I say , but for those who have not fall for these skinny , small multi-woofer unit that cost 20x more , try one of the `` old style '' speaker out and you 'll be surprise what less money buy these day . the bass be outstanding , and replace my old 15-inch woofer Optimus -lrb- Radio Shack -rrb- speaker that go with my old pe8700 theater . I be use my older -lrb- but still fine -rrb- Optimus front channel to complete the system . this review be here to hopefully be helpful to those who want a outstanding home theater on a budget . I be not a professional home theater installer , but I know a good value overall when I see and hear it . many will spend 10 time as much overall on they system , but when someone see this picture and sound , they be very impressed . do not hesitate on the w6000 if you be in this market . finally , some say the w6000 be loud but it be not to my ear . 115 Projector POS 5 I think that this overhead projecter be very easy to use , and alot of fun to play with . it be easy to assemble and very bright , however as soon as I get it it break . I would defimately recomend this to people . I f you be try to find a really good and cheap overhead , this be the one you should get 968 Projector POS 5 this be a great projector . everything about it work easy and be great ! the only con I have be I wish it be a bit quieter but then again every other Projector I have ever use be much noisier . Casey 229 Projector POS 4 I use this screen for my Sunday School Power Point presentation each Sunday . this screen be so easy to install and my wife help I hang it . I purchase the manual pull down screen due to we ceiling be low enough that I can reach the pull string , it work like a pull window shade . the screen have great resolution . 777 Projector POS 5 Dont be fool by the low price of this projector . I have a movie room i just build and get everything but a projector i research many and for the quality i want i be look at 2000 dollar . I find this and be amaze when hook it up to my xbox 360 in hd and my Comcast HD cable box . watch the red sox game be a blast at 150 inch . even at that big the quality be better than a 6000 dollar plasma . if you be build a entertainment room it be perfect . 151 Projector NEG 2 I have a Mitsubishi hc1500 projector in a somewhat light controlled room for the last 3 year . it finally get hit my a South Alabama lightning strike and fry the circuit board . I pay about $ 600 for the Mitsubishi refurbish but almost new and think that $ 600 now would get I at least as good a projector three year later . wrong . the Optoma be noisy and the image not nearly as sharp as the Mitsubishi it replace . the deal breaker , however , be the fact that the Optoma could not hold the signal come from my Blu Ray player 25 ' away . the Mitsubishi have no trouble lock on the signal . the Optoma would display the image , then flash the screen white for a second then lock onto the signal again , then loose it once more . I guess that if you just want to game with this projector then it would be fine . I return it promptly to Amazon for a trouble free refund . -lrb- thanks Amazon -rrb- . I be now look for a different projector . no more Optomas for I . 286 Projector NEG 1 I buy this alarm clock for my husband for Christmas . we absolutely love everything about it until it just die . the display just go completely bonkers and be now stick on what look like 1:80 . and , the ONLY thing I do for that to happen be hit the snooze button . really ?!!? now , nothing work to fix it either . we try everything from unplug it , to take the battery in and out , it do no good !! I should of listen to the bad review and\/or buy it locally in store . now , I be face with the pain in the butt decision to I ship it back at MY expense and hope they fix it and\/or replace it with a new one which be asinine ! maybe I 'll just take the hit and learn my lesson the hard way and never buy another Timex again . regardless , it be a darn shame as we love Timex -lrb- at least they old alarm clock -rrb- in the past . my daughter have my old one from 2006 and my husband have one that be still work since he purchase it back in the early 90 's . what a bunch of crook , take people 's hard earn money , by use cheap part that be make overseas that will not last and\/or be defective from the get go !!! and , do not get I start on the LAME 90 day warranty that be pure b !! come on , really ?!!? if I know it come with only a 90 day warranty I would of never purchase this product . it also seem like Timex be not the only manufacturer that have major issue with they projection\/automatic date\/time set alarm clock either . buyer beware !! DO NOT buy ! 712 Projector POS 5 the Optoma EP739 have the best picture you can get for under $ 1300.00 I have own this projector for a couple of month and it rock !!! the Hi Def be amazing !!! under $ 1900.00 in my total projection system and it compair to a $ 5000.00 system . I 'll stay with optoma from now on . 371 Projector POS 4 when I purchase it , I be impress by the ability to project show without a pc attach . but in practice it seem there be more option than I have realize . I try out the 802.11 g wireless connection to a laptop . it work fine for slide , but be unacceptably jerky for video -lrb- mpeg2 and dvd 's -rrb- although this may have be due to the older laptop I use . I do not try out the multiple laptop connection feature but presume it work the same . I also show my presentation without a pc . this process require you to install they software , and then to convert you powerpoint . ppt show to the epson-recognizable format . place the resultant file on you usb thumb drive which plug into the projector and off you go . worked perfectly on simple presentation , but do not sequence some of my fly-in label properly . -lrb- they all three fly in at once . -rrb- so if you have a more complex presentation , I would be prepare for surprise . it show a folder of -lrb- non-powerpoint -rrb- jpeg image without a hitch . advance they with the remote be intuitive . but `` pc-free '' projection of mpeg file be hit-and-miss . one work fine , one do not project at all . other feature -lrb- auto-keystone correction etc. -rrb- all work as expect . I like the product , but I be not depend on it for video . 226 Projector POS 5 I use the Vantage Point cgupm12-s to mount a Panasonic pt-ae200u projector . the mount be easy to put together and install , work great , very adjustable , well make , look good . I would highly recommend this product . I call Vantage Point to make sure the mount would work with my projector , they return my call and be very helpful . 10 Projector POS 5 I receive this clock about a week before the change to standard time here in CA , and the clock re-program itself without a hitch . we have two different alarm set , and find that setting and change the alarm be quick and painless . the construction of the clock be very sturdy , and everything on the clock work . in this day and age , that be amazing ! the nature sound be very nice ; we be currently use the windchime for both alarm . I highly recommend this clock - thank you to the previous reviewer , as I look at review to help in my decision-making . 200 Projector POS 4 the 3M mp160 pocket projector be a perfect little device for the corporate world , and that be mostly likely what it be mean for and all it be good for . any videophile or audiophile will cringe at the measly 30 lumen of output and the flat sound speaker . then again you be not mean to watch movie on this thing . video : the video be a weak 30 lumen but for static graph and image it do the job . if you project on a wall expect a fade image since you need all the reflectivity you can get . on a pulldown screen the image be not bad . the closer the projector the better . you can pull it back to get up to a 80 inch image but the bigger you get the more saturation and color you lose . AUDIO : this be not mean for watch movie but you can always use the audio of the source product from where you be pull the video -lrb- computer , tv , etc -rrb- . CONNECTIVITY : you can connect this projector to pretty much anything -lrb- tv , computer , ipod , Phone , Camera , etc -rrb- . there be plenty of cable include , but you may have to fumble around to find the right one as the projector itself have one propriety input . so you have to have a adapt cable . luckily almost everything you need be include . the one draw back of this model ? you have to have a input source of video . this projector have no memory storage so you can not store video file or any file of any kind . so some sort of video device must accompany the projector at all time . 869 Projector NEG 1 this be by far the worst product i ever buy on amazon . i drop $ 200 on something that be probably worth about $ 20 . please do not buy this projector to save a little money . you 'll just end up get a new one . the light 's dim , the speaker have no volume control , the pixel be lousy and the fan be loud . please stay away from this one . 891 Projector POS 4 it be quite impressive with 1280 vs 800 resolution but anything more than that be not that impressive . the picture seem little blurry with 1080p input . overall I be very much satisfied with this product so far . 767 Projector NEG 1 I buy this unit because the specification say he have a powerful and it be perfect for teacher but the device be not even recognize by the laptop , the backlight be terrible in the light of day . the screen size be extremely small and do not match the description give by the seller . definitely do not recommend this product to anyone . the quality be terrible . in addition , I purchase this product from Costa Rica , and now I regret the money spend on this device to bring up my country . this be my first purchase from Amazon disappoint I . people please ... do not buy this unit because they will throw away they money . 380 Projector POS 5 after review several video clip on this AFFORDABLE lead projector I decide to buy one . I have watch at least 10 movie -lrb- with my girlfriend -rrb- so far and I have to say that we be impressed with it . I be use standard white matte finish plotter paper as a screen and the image quality be surprisingly good -lrb- I be guess that a regular screen would be even better -rrb- . I be play dvd 's on a standard player with the RCA hookup to the projector . I do have it hook into my pc and the picture quality be noticeably better . pro so far : - decent image quality on a 70 inch home build screen -lrb- plotter paper -rrb- . - long project bulb life . - Inexpensive for the movie quality !!!! - more quality time spend with my girlfriend ! - portable . can be use with a laptop -lrb- with good speaker -rrb- and portable screen to watch `` drive-in '' movie anywhere -lrb- need vehicle \/ power inverter \/ battery -rrb- . - have a wide variety of connection to choose from -lrb- hdmus , s-video , rca and VGA -rrb- . con so far : - all of the control be on the remote . - the fan could be a little quieter . -lrb- not a problem when hook into a good surround \/ computer speaker system -rrb- - on board speaker be not very loud . -lrb- use external speaker source -rrb- I would definitely recommend this nice little unit to anyone look to buy a cheap , decent picture quality projector for the first time !!! - some light shine through the rear fan exhaust . -lrb- this can be divert by sit something slightly behind the projector . do not block the air flow !!! -rrb- 491 Projector POS 4 the screen arrive well package and protect . it be easy to extract from the wrapping with a box cutter . it be also easy to hang . the first thing I do be throw a Blu-Ray movie onto the screen , and it look fantastic -lrb- paired with a 1080p Epson projector -rrb- . con : none -lrb- 1 week of use , so far -rrb- . 585 Projector POS 4 we be skeptical after read about horizontal panning and on the first projector we receive it be pretty noticeable - soccer be difficult to watch with significant blur and jitter . we have to replace the original after a week when it start overheate and shut down in a 70 f degree room . the replacement be better than the original . horizontal panning be much smoother and watch USA v Japan woman 's match today be a great experience with great clarity and smooth tracking . image be sharp even when player be run and color be wonderful . we all notice the difference immediately . use same connector , HDMI cable as on first . use the pro 8200 with a Epson Duet 80 '' screen for now - perfectly good for this projector or until you get a more permanent setup . projector come with a nylon case for transport and the tripod Epson Duet screen fold right up in seconds . very stable once deploy . alignment and feature for the pro 8200 be good . it have great zoom and decent keystone correction . I be use it in a garage office with overhead led spot and blackout curtain on the sole window but it be plenty bright to use even in a light room on `` Standard '' brightness and this be best color . `` brightest '' look more wash out by far . Works great with dual hdmus - use a hd Directv DVR and alternate the other between PS3 and Apple TV , Roku . the MacBook pro Retina with Mountain Lion and AirPlay easily put my Mac display on the big screen - nice bonus . a bit blurry run thru projector either on AirPlay or use the mbp hdmus port and it do go to 16:9 use the Mac 's HDMI port . Works great with we flight sim pc and the HDMI port on EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW too . both would be adequate for class or work . excellent PS3 performance use Gran Turismo , COD , etc. . I have see the $ 3k projector but nowhere near enough difference to justify the price . you will not regret this projector for home or work . 849 Projector POS 5 I order this item and it be one of the best investment I have ever make it work great good picture and kind of small and light weight . also it seem durable the remote work well and it get far range . I love it so far . 132 Projector POS 5 I purchase this projector to use for business presentation when we be on the road . it pack nicely and be easy to travel with . it work well for the presentation and get the job do . I be please with this purchase . 949 Projector POS 5 I honestly think that it would not be that great due to the price of the product , but i be highly impress when I get it . it hook up to everything like it say and I love it . 2 Projector POS 4 Update : I have use it quite a bit now , hook up the cable , computer , Seagate and now my Roku . hand down , Roku rock on this thing for Netflix and Hulu use the hdmus input . still have not try the Wii . the Seagate be awful and the computer and cable be ok . for some reason , the Roku seem to produce the most consistently good picture and I be play directly off a white wall with a near 6-foot tall picture . the light can even be on the lowest dim and you get a fine picture . you do not need a completely dark room for a perfectly enjoyable picture . the screen I buy will be use for outside since I have find play the larger picture on the wall be great . the built-in speaker be fine for tv but I buy a inexpensive speaker set at best buy that work better for movie . my little basement room be now like my own personal theater ! original review : First , I be amaze at how quickly this arrive . I be a prime member so I get good shipping time , but this be just astounding . I order it and it arrive the very next day ! I hook it up to my Macbook , which take a little more cabling than the various cable include but I have what I need . I play a movie and then Hulu and it work great . I do not have to have all the light off , and I be project onto a proper screen . I be not use the HDMI port but the quality of the picture be extremely good -- just like watch a large standard def tv . I also use headphone so I do not know how the speaker sound yet . overall , this meet my all my expectation and I would recommend it . one note : if you notice the usb port , it be not really a port ; it be placeholder for a port . I be sure a higher end of the same model must have the actual port . 416 Projector NEG 2 buy this item for my husband as a Christmas gift . I read so many review about PICO projector and focus on this one because it seem to be the best out there . then I read dozen of review on the pk 301 . I have mix feeling and I be not sure it this be a good purchase . my husband open it Christmas morning and go to we bedroom to test it out . we bedroom have burgundy wall and the shades be down , so there be very little light or brightness in the room . when I come into the room to check it out , he already have it pack up in the box and say `` send it back '' . Picture quality be poor , even in we dark bedroom . what be worse , be that when I tell he what it cost , he jaw hit the floor ! I do not necessarily think that this specific model or brand be no good , but I think that as a whole , pico projector be just not there , technologically speak . it be like the Christmas gift you could not wait for as a kid because it look so cool on the commercial and the idea be great in theory , but once you use it , you be incredibly disappointed because it do not live up to the claim . this be one toy -lrb- yes , that be really all it be , because it be just not functional -rrb- that I recommend you skip , especially for the $ $ $ . 739 Projector NEG 1 make of cheap material and not sturdy enough . we spend a lot of time to make it work finally but I still do not like the way it hang . I do not recommend this one at all . 537 Projector POS 4 I find this mount when look for a economy mount for my classroom at school . a strong and stable mount , it have not move since we install and aim it . my one concern be that the product ship without instruction , but we school engineer who have hang mount before have no problem install it . zif not tfor the lack of instruction , it would have easily get 5 star ! 645 Projector NEU 3 the video signal be very good , the audio cable do make noise when no audio be play , but it be not notice when audio be be pay . overall , it be good enough for I . 908 Projector POS 5 I do a unbelievable amount of research on home theater projector over the course of about a year begin on a projector about half the price of this and slowly make my way to this model before decide that this be the one . I have never buy a projector before so I do not want to jump in and buy one for $ 6,000 + or anything , but I be a movie geek so I still want the best that I could possibly get on a reasonable budget . I be overjoy to report that this projector be beyond my wildest expectation . I own a Samsung Touch of Red lcd screen that be the envy of everyone who come over and see it , but this blow that out of the water -lrb- project 100 '' onto a fix 16:9 screen -rrb- . color be bright and the image be crisp with great contrast . although I do calibrate it and get the image to look slightly better , I find that it be not really too necessary as the out of the box color 1 setting be tune well enough . I will say this about it though , it be huge . although it do not weigh a great deal , the physical size of this thing be gigantic . I also have some difficulty get a universal projector mount to fit and hang right with it , but I guess that be not entirely its fault as I be sure other more experienced have no trouble . 235 Projector NEG 1 we purchase a BenQ pb 6100 projector . if the overall quality of the projector be fine , such be not the case of the lamp which blow up in less than 6 week !!! and worse benq do NOT honor they international guarantee and the support center do not respond to the email for exchange the lamp -lrb- price 400 $ ! -rrb- . overall a very poor support . my last boxlight lamp be still run after 4 year . this be my first benq but surely the last . a strong suggestion , do not buy BenQ . 452 Projector NEG 1 I purchase this projector refurbish off woot.com for $ 650 . great deal , right ? I then build a entire home theater around this unit , purchase a 5.1 surround receiver and speaker system , electric projector screen , mount hardware , speaker wire , etc. . by the time all equipment come in and I be ready to set up the system it be about 45 day later . it work great for about one week , then the lamp start shut off . I call and they say it be the lamp that need to be replace and it would cost $ 250 to do so , because the lamp be only guarantee for 30 day -lrb- the rest of the projector 90 day -rrb- . I only put about 30 hour of time on the lamp and it will cost I $ 250 more dollar ? that put the cost of the projector over what it would cost to buy new in only one week 's time . I be stick return the projector back to woot for the refund and look for a better company that make hd projector for my theater . my sister be also on she 3rd optoma projector because of shoddy circuitry . she be send she 's back before to find that it would cost she $ 400 for out of warrantee service . you may have better luck than I , but buy at you own risk because Optoma do not stand behind they product and will overcharge you for the repair . 771 Projector NEG 1 please be careful and do not be cheat by the poor and cheep offer for this projector -lrb- lcd Video Projector -lrb- include HDMI Cable & Extra Bulb -rrb- Great for dvd , Wii , XBox , Playstation it be really bad and you will not get any chance to return it back because the seller will ignore you and you email if you want to return it back . 344 Projector NEG 2 I purchase the 106 inch version of this projector . it be very long , obviously . take a little bit of effort get the box into my apartment from the hallway . -lrb- without bump into wall , overhead light , etc -rrb- the packaging be decent , but it could have be better . the metal frame be dent right in the middle which be annoying , but I do not care . the metal tripod be easy to unfold and set up and the metal feel cheap . once I attach the screen to the tripod , I be able to easily raise it to my desire height . the first thing I notice be that the screen be not completely parallel with the floor . it be at about a 20 degree angle . I have to put a book under one of the tripod leg to compensate to get it to be straight . also the top of the screen be more forward than the bottom . I also notice some dusty hand print all over the back of the screen . this be annoying , but again not a dealbreaker . I be not ask for much ... I just want a functional white screen that be portable . -lrb- since I do not have space in my condo for a permanent screen -rrb- the actual screen quality be good . watch my 3d 1080p blu-ray on it look amazing . -lrb- this may have more to do with my Optoma projector than the actual screen quality -rrb- cosmetically , the only change I would have want be to have the frame and the tripod to be paint black instead of white . after I watch a movie for 45 minute , I try to take down the projector and put it away . that be when thing get bad . the screen retract about 70 % of the way down and then get stick . several tug up and down do not fix this . since it be 1am and I be worry all of this pull would wake up my kid , I pull the projector back up and leave it on the tripod . I try to take it down the next morning and stillgot stick about 70 % the way in . I finally tug really hard -lrb- almost to the point of where I think it would tear -rrb- and whatever it be stick on have set it free . I finally be able to close it . that be a lot of effort for use this projector for the very first time . not off to a good start . the 2nd time I use it -lrb- later that day -rrb- , set-up again be fine , but when I try close it again , it get pinch on something and would not move down . this time it be worse because I could no longer pull it up either . it be just stick completely . I email the favus tech support to see if they have a solution to fix this . they do not help I at all . they just say that they could not find my purchase record on they database . I tell they that I purchase it via Amazon and they say they still could not find my record . it also take they 2-3 day to reply to email . I decide to return it directly to Amazon . I wish FAVI 's customer service be as good as amazon . I be able to return it the next day and get a full refund . -lrb- UPS pick up the box from my porch -rrb- thank AMAZON ! I just want a simple manual projector that I could set up and take down as I please . I be able to overlook the dented frame , the cheap metal , the dirty hand print , and the uneven screen . but , the most important component in a manual screen be probably the retract mechanism . once that fail , the entire product be useless . not everyone who purchase this have have problem so it be definitely a quality control issue . it be a shame that I have to return it because when it be set-up , it look great . 422 Projector NEG 1 the whole part be solid except the screw , shame when a screw break inside the connect plastic side of the projector , it ruin everything . 415 Projector POS 5 I have try less expensive bulb from other place . I either return they because they do not work or they last half the lamp time of this one . the lamp I get from Amazon work the first time and actually last 3-4000 hour of view time . will not buy a lamp anywhere else . 363 Projector POS 5 bright , clear , quiet , perfect picture . hook up the blu-ray and Wii . really enjoy and like we purchase . highly recommend . 810 Projector POS 4 I do not give a 5 star because for my home media center it work with 1080p resolution , but with my ps3 it only work with 720p resolution . I have try to watch a 3d movie demo and I could not , I do not know why . but the image be good . 144 Projector POS 4 EDIT # 3 : back to a great review : -rrb- while complain on twitter about my projector , @optomausa see it and contact I about fix my projector . long story short , they fix it at no cost to I , other than ship it to they . this be a great gesture consider the warranty have be out for 6 month . I hope to get more than a year out of the replacement chip . EDIT # 2 : to be exact , I have 475 hour on this projector . EDIT : well , with just a little over a year on this projector and still the original bulb , I have in excess of 50 dead pixel on my screen . very disappoint with this projector and very hard to watch thing with a constellation in you way . even at $ 500 for this projector , it be not worth it if it only last a year . previous REVIEW : I buy this projector after my Dell 2300MP die a inexplicable death . I really do not think you could get a decent project for under $ 1k , but boy be I wrong . the picture on this projector be great . there be a little bit of detectable noise in the picture , but I be not sure if it be because I be feed it from a 20ft long vga cable and not hdmus . I plan on replace the cable eventually with a hdmus one . I be use this projector on a mythtv frontend . it be run in 1280x800 mode -lrb- it be actual native resolution -rrb- and it display hdtv perfectly . it be quick to find the signal when turn on . it be quick to turn off . although the picture display quick , it take a minute or two for the bulb to project in the right color cast . also , when first power on , the fan be very noticeable , but once the picture stabilize -lrb- 1 minute or so -rrb- , the fan speed kick down and it be fairly quiet . my previous screen -lrb- for my Dell -rrb- be too small so I end up smooth out the wall and painting over it with white paint . even though it be not project on a proper screen , the color be still great and the contrast be very good . so , if you want to have a good home theater and you really do not want to spend a lot of money , this projector should be on the top of you list . 207 Projector POS 5 I be skeptical that this very low price projector would be as good as the review claim . no need ! it be light in weight , project brilliantly , be easily set up , come with good instruction and do the job as well as anyone could wish for ! we use it as part of wedding ceremony when a rental unit charge would have be $ 300.00 more than the price of buy this unit ! try it , you 'll like it ! 365 Projector POS 5 great picture quailty , look just as good as my lcd , people think i spend way more on it , i do have to lower the brightness to not wash the color out but it take no time to set up . would buy again 255 Projector NEU 3 this projector actually work very well , the only draw back be that it will not work with anything but video or power point presentation . it will not display document file like Excel , Word , access . I be really hope to use this as a presentation tool for many different document type . I wish I have know about these limitation before my purchase . 149 Projector POS 5 I be able to replace my tv lamp very easily with this assembly . the picture quality be very clear . very quick service and reasonable price . 578 Projector NEG 1 everything seem fine and normal . I pop the bulb in and it work ok for about a hour before it start to overheat . I have a bigass fan sit around so I open the window and point it at the projector . it last another month and finally burn out with the bulb lifespan of only 72 hour . Amazon have be awesome in assist I with my return and full refund . I be mail the bulb back as we speak . 820 Projector NEG 2 ALARM CLOCK have AUTO TIME SETTING , IT WAS OFF 4 MIN FIRST DAY and OFF 5 MIN the next . the ALARM DID GO OFF BUT OFF 10 MIN or SO . I think TIMEX be the best and I just get a lemon . I contact the COMPANY to RETURN IT . you will be DIRECTED to the return POLICY to READ the page of requirement and the whole process be to try to NOT get you to RETURN IT or trip you up SO that you return it not the WAY STATED and THEY CAN refuse the return !! after pay 8.95 in postage to send back the `` LEMON '' , AMAZON send a EMAIL that THEY be processing my return -lrb- at least I make it through the return process !! -rrb- and I should see a credit to MY CARD in 10 day for the AMT of the `` LEMON '' ONLY . I pay 8.95 to get it and paid 8.95 to send it back . I will never buy ONLINE again ! lesson learn . 173 Projector NEU 3 this project be very decent for the money you pay the picture image be not bad . however I be very excite to learn that this projector come with a spare bulb as we all know how expensive they could be . this be one of the main reason that drive I to buy this model once I recieve the item and try it out the bulb inside the projector be break . so much for the spare bulb . 529 Projector POS 5 for educational presentation I have in mind for the video and all the presentation that I have in mind be simply more than excellent
