(More customer reviews)This is the first projector I bought so I can't compare it with the other Projectors in the market.
I love it. For the price its worth it.
Before I bought this I did a little research and this is what I found out and my primary concerns.
I compared it with newsky-health led-2 and alanson led-2 and a bunch of projectors with the same input and shape. Are they all the same just with different names? all are made from china..
The brand PMC has the same shape but different inputs and usb so its not the same..
It has 1300 lumens brightness and to US standards 400 ansi only..
-> What is its life span?
Favi website and other website says 20,000 hours of life span while some and amazon say its 30,000..
Who cares five years from now this will be obsolete and its life is good for more than 10 years if you use it 5-6 hours a day..
With all the different information out there I really don't know what is the real specs of this thing..
-> Is it bright enough?
It is good enough to watch with the lights or windows open if you are projecting it around 3ft(25"screen) ft to around 5ft(42"screen) away from the wall. The reason I started with 3ft is because that is the nearest distance you can watch from it. This is because the projectors manual focus limit is only up to there anything nearer than that will be blurry. Yes this projector's focus is manual, by turning the lens to the right for near distance, to the left for far distance. Farther than that I think a dim light is required. The more distance the bigger the screen it projects the darker the room should be. Of course the darker the room the better.
-> Does it heat up?
Nope it remains cool. The built in fan is good enough to do this.
-> How loud is the noise fan?
Hmm I would say it makes the same noise as a desktop pc fan would or any 7 inch normal fan would make..
-> Image display?
More than satisfactory. I would say great..
I have only tried it using hdmi connecting it to my laptop and watching movies using kmplayer w/ 720p and it works great and also tried playing psp 480p using a component cable works great also.
With a dark room I have tried watchin with 120" screen more than 12ft away and no complaints w/ the image quality.
I dont advice it to be use for your laptops though for browsing or typing. In order for you to atleast read the characters clearly the resolution should only be 800 by 600(standard resolution nowadays is 1200x800)which really is annoying because you have to adjust you computer screen resolution and see a lot less on your screen.
Also the 16:9 option is not applicable using the hdmi/component.
keystone works great also for adjusting the angle image found at the bottom I didnt even know what a keystone was haha..
There is also a TV input with lots of channels in this projector. I haven't tried it though don't have an antenna cant put a cable, it needs an adaptor. I find it weird that It has a tv input when it doesnt say it has one.. I have the white one I think the black one doesnt have any..
-> Built in stereo sound?
umm next question.. Let's skip this..
yeah it has stereo sounds but my laptops built in speaker sounds better.. I use my altec lansing expressionist instead and viola good quality sound..
You are not buying this for the sound quality so c'est pas grave..
What I don't like about this projector is that inorder for you to access the menu and choose which output to choose hdmi/component/tv/video/etc you need the remote control so if you lose it then this projector is useless..
Overall I'd say I gambled on buying this product since there is no reviews out there yet on this and so far I am happy about this purchase.. :)
Hope this review is useful to you guys..
