The picture is big and beautiful. The machine is plug and play. The lamp is bright enough so that you don't need total darkness. When you turn it off the lamp is cool so that you can pack it up immediately to take it. It's just 2 pounds so that it's a dream to transport. I really couldn't be happier with it.

Just got it, tested it out, and got serious air let out of my tires. This is a beautifully designed product, tiny in size, next step from the pocket projectors, light, portable, plug-n-play, all that.

But when it came to picture quality, particularly color reproduction - it's not even close. Sad, since I was planning on using it for my portfolio presentation, and with at least an hour worth of adjustments and mocking around, the picture is pathetic at best. Yellows come out green, no matter how much you try to adjust, reds are too dark, some blues look strange too. And the obvious - sharpness - with the highest sharpness setting it is still not sharp enough. Not sure how hard this was to engineer, but dear Viewsonic, people need quality picture, and this one would've been an awesome product if it did.

Looking for a better alternative; we'll see what Epson and Samsung have to offer

The third party power supply (AC adapter) that came with the projector died during my first presentation about 3 hours in to it. The projector is great, the power-supply is Asian no name junk. I am out an additional 60.00 because I need the projector/don't have time to go through a return process and so went to Fry's and bought another. My first ever bad experience- but Amazon is NOT responsible.

If you are looking for a projector to take on presentaions - this one is great! Set up is a breeze and the picture is perfect! Anyone can use this!

For the size and price this a great little projector. I wanted something small and light weight that I could travel with for client presentations. It is better than I hoped it would be. The projection quality is good. It's tiny and so light weight in comparison to my former expensive projector. It is very easy to hook up and operate. The only thing I was not thrilled about it that there is no remote control to advance the slifes. You have to advance the slides from your laptop which is not always convenient. That's why I gave it a "3" rating for accessories.

I was able to speak to a person in support in the USA which I always value in a product!

I think this is the best balance between weight, size and lumens. It fits nicely in my backpack with a netbook and I use it to give classes. I dont know how could a live without this projector!

While most of my venues do have projectors for my use (and they are VERY bright), some do not. THIS projector is PERFECT. 400 lumens. Not like daylight, for sure... but quite bright and gives you great visuals to use as a backdrop that creates a much richer feel to lectures and presentations, rather than going without that visual support. Of course, you need to develop great visuals -that goes without saying.

Negatives: Yes, the power brick is the bear. But having a projector so small is truly great and much more portable that others. Don't expect the image you would get from a much more expensive projector, or one that has thousands of lumens. That being said, this one is the right balance for my needs.

Bonus: It acts as a great home projector to add some fun on a living room or bedroom wall for movie night fun. It's 'short throw', so you get a very large picture with very little distance.

Buy again: in a heartbeat. Wish I had picked it up months ago!

The projector works as advertised. For the price point, the picture is decent. But I had to return the unit for repair after
a month. I think the bulb expired prematurely.

The unit has a good image quality and brightness for the price but the lack of a carrying case force the user to carry with the power supply (which is large and heavy by the way), the DB9 cable, CD software and remote control elsewhere.... come on ViewSonic dont be so cheap selling a good middle class projector lacking such a basic accessory?
