I purchased this exact item from another site and I ordered a 5' x 9' piece of projector fabric to create a large, opaque white screen. I ordered this for my 6 year old's "Saturday Movie Matinee" Birthday party, because I wanted to do something different besides the pizza place, hamburger place, jumpy bouncey place, etc. party. We're going to set a room up like a movie theatre and play one of the new animated releases for the kids, with pop corn and movie snacks.

I have read many reviews and complaints about this projector, but for what it is and for the money - it works great. We have been testing this item the past 2 nights and so far, so good. We are able to get a pretty large screen, maybe 3' x 4' and the quality is "good." I would compare the viewing quality to that of a drive-in movie. It's not going to be super crisp like your TV and the colors could be sharper, but my kids think it is awesome! We haven't even tried this with the video games yet.

Also - this projector does not require total darkness, which I've seen in many other reviews. We are able to view the movie on the wall just fine at one end of our bedroom, with a lamp on at the other end. However, the darker the room, the sharper the image appears. I would also add that movies with a brighter, lighter background are easier to view, than movies with a darker background. The movie sound is really good and I don't find the projector fan sound distracting - at all. In fact, I think it kind of adds to the "movie" experience. Of note, you must have a live feed for this projector to work. You have to START the DVD for the projector to project the image onto the wall. Otherwise, you will see absolutely nothing or just a teentsy, tiny, little menu on the wall and you will be scratching your head and changing out the cables, trying to figure what's wrong. Trust me....we know!! :)

I bought this projector to replace a tv for a game room. Most projectors are around 100 to 200 dollars so I gave this one a try. When I received the package it was put to the test.
Pros: will project a 72 inch image on a wall or screen.(preferably a white wall)
replacement bulb very cheap around 5-10 dollars
small and easily set up
relatively high resolution 920-240
easy volume control
simple focus control (simply twist the lens to sharpen the image)
can be used for presentations with an adapter
Cons: only has one speaker built in
works best in dark rooms but poor picture with ambient light
only has RCA jack (red,yellow,white)
no cap for lens or carry case accessory
overall it is a great projector for its price but don't expect a high quality HD image or sound quality. Its good for games and movies as long as they aren't dark oriented.

i got this projector last year at first i thought it was great(i dident have a flat screen) pixels will stand out when the image is 40" or higher

the price is good and cheap
the sound is very good
the display is poor
the size is gigant

El proyector tiene mala imagen, hace mucho ruido, se distorciona incluso estando a menos de 2 metros de la pared, me satisface tan poco que solo lo he usado 2 veces

I purchased this item to project a map tool for my D and D game. I bought the suggested cords for this only to have each one not detect the screen. In an attempt to determine if the projector was faulty, I plugged it into my DVD player (a Phillips model from '06) with the included cord. That went off well. The test DVD was Life of Brian which is tan in general. So if I'm interested in using it for DVDs, I'm covered. However no reviews have covered the pc problems that I'm having. I've contacted the company five times (granted it's the holidays so I'm keeping that in mind) and have yet to receive a reply in regards to this. I'm on the fence in returning the thing on that alone.

I bought this product from another site. I could not use this as it was not displaying anything. I tried all possible things like changing the wires, connecting to my laptop, dvd player and wii but the projector did not displaying anything on wall. It only displayed/focused light on the wall. Also, I did not find the replacement lamp. I just had to return it and the seller credit the sale price to my account.
Overall, I was not at all satisfied with this product.

Its not working since it was delievered. I tried connecting with all type of cables. I am connecting my laptop with project using a VGA to SVideo + Svideo to composite video cable. But it does not work.
