This projector is an awesome deal. I have had it now for 3 months. It runs quiet. It is small, compact, and light. It has a bright display with great resolution and great contrast. I have had three projectors and this one has definitely been my favorite. You can't beat the price either. Good luck finding another projector that is new at the same price with the same specs.

I was waiting with great anticipation for this projector and let me tell you how satisfied I am with my purchase. Please don't think I'm pulling you leg because this little bundle of joy is everything and a bad of chips!

First of all, it's extremely light weight and is super easy to operate. The operational buttons on the device enable you to adjust the settings and the manual focus feature, although low tech, works smoothly. The biggest surprise was the picture quality and the ability to change from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratios. As for the picture and color quality, that's dependant on the video source you decided to connect to the projector. For example, I connected my laptop to the device and the picture quality was great. I didn't experience any picture compression or letter distortion. I can't tell you how much fun it is to run HD You Tube video's on my wall. I then connected an old DVD player it but the picture quality wasn't as good as my 1080pi HD television. However, I did connect a new DVD player that I picked up for $55 dollars that converts standard DVD movies to almost 1080pi picture quality. The picture quality was off the hook and I couldn't believe the immenseness of the picture this small device could project. I have a moderately sized 1 bedroom apartment and let me tell you, I was able to generate a 130 inch screen without making my Optoma sweat. Keep in mind this projector can also be connected to any HD cable receiver or HD player via component cables. You'll need to purchase a Component to VGA adapter to accomplish this which can be purchased through Optoma or right here on Amazon.

In conclusion, there are many projectors out there that can range from really cheap to really expensive. You'll also find projectors that range from being user friendly to needing a PHD in computer science to figure out. This small yet mighty project is the happy medium. It's reasonably priced and has all the features of your really expensive brands and models. I sincerely can't say enough about this projector other than hurry up and buy it.

We got this for our church. We were able to mount it to the ceiling with no problems. People are able to see the screen with out any problems, and without turning off any lights from the back of the building. (there is a florescent light less than 2 feet in front of the screen.) Our building is 100'x60'. If you are a small church with a small congregation, this is the projector for you. We can hook up a laptop, DVD Player, or even a game console without any problems. We haven't shown videos yet, only still images. (Songs, Scripture). This is a good picture for a good price.
