I purchased this projector for two very different purposes: 1. to project movies onto a wall for pleasure viewing, and 2. to project a small image onto paper as a means of creating hand-drawn rotoscoped animations. I've been very impressed with this projector in all lighting conditions, whether projecting large or projecting small. The image is crisp and bright. I connect to a PC for watching movies and to a Mac for my animation projects, and I've had no problems with either. In this price category, I'm fully satisfied with this product.

The Optoma DS317 DLP Multimedia Projector lives up to its marketing materials. It is simple and easy to use, projects a clear image in small or medium-sized rooms and has the lumens to be seen in a moderately bright room. (I haven't tried it in a large hall yet). The price is fantastic for small business owners, teachers and others who have to operate on a tight budget, yet you still get more than you paid for. People who travel light may find that its 11"l x 8"w x 3.5"h size is a little large for them, however I found that it fits very well in a wheeled backpack-style carrier, fitting nicely right along with my laptop. A small downside, the projector relies on an "on-screen command" to adjust the size of the image on the wall rather than an easy to use slide or roller wheel. That is a small matter and not a big detractor. The lense cap has very small pronged clips and I wonder how long they're going to last. Let's end on a positive: the fan system is excellent and cools the projector quickly after power off.

This is a great multimedia projector and I recommend it for anyone with basic business and education projection needs. It may be great for entertainment and home theater, however I haven't put it through those paces. I suspect it would do quite well.

I bought this primarily for use in the classroom and have been very impressed with the ease of use and the picture quality. It is bright enough to be easily viewed with the lights on and setup is quick and easy. It fits with my laptop in my backpack and the remote control/laser pointer included works perfectly. For the money, I couldn't be more pleased...well, a USB cable would have been helpful but otherwise it's great!
