InFocus X6 DLP Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the picture from this projector. Being on the low-end price-wise I didn't expect the high-quality picture that it projected. I bought it for my 15-year old daughter to have movie parties with. It is also very simple to operate. The only downfall is that it only came with a cable to connect to a PC, but not a cable to connect to a DVD player (S-video to RCA) I had to order that separately since the stores (Radio Shack & Circuit City) do not carry it in stock.

NEC VT47 Digital Video Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This past Thanksgiving, after much prayer, and begging to my wife I was finally able to complete my home theater. I have had the opportunity to try out many projectors through the years, always hoping one day I would find the perfect one: Good Contrast and resolution with multi-capabilities such as computer, s-video, all the way down to RCA plug-ins. Also it had to have huge "bang-for-the-buck" factors. I am not disappointed!
This Projector by NEC was surprising in many ways. They packed it with a cool, very simplified, remote. Plus, they threw in an extra computer cable so you can plug it right in. Nice.
It is very light at 7lbs and the brightness of the 1500 ansi lumens soaks the screen to display vividly sharp details. I have tried out many films so far to test its quality: Fast and the Furious, Nemo, A Bugs life plus others. None had any problems. Computer animated films sparkle on this machine.
There is a fan within the projector to keep down the temp. Most people decide on purchasing depending on the loudness of the fan alone. Gratefully, it is amazingly quiet. Once you turn it off it blows in high gear for about ten seconds then its done.
Here's the catch: You have to want a big picture. The projector does come with an easy zoom function to control picture size, but the kicker is, with it being fifteen feet away from the screen the smallest the image can get is 6ft wide / 5ft tall. Many may worry about dvd artifacting or pixelization at that size, but again, no worries. At 15 feet the image could easily be 10 feet across if I so choose. Nice, once more.
If your deciding on a projector that has vivid color detail and large picture capabilities, even with the lights on, look no further. Like I said, I have tested many through the years, some costing five to ten thousand dollars, you will find very little difference between them and this power packed machine. Hats off to NEC. ~SAOS~

Optoma EP721 SVGA 2200-Lumens DLP Multimedia Data Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased a new Optoma EP721 projector on the recommendation of a colleague. It was very light weight and easily carried to my lectures. My colleague had given his Optoma projector to his son and purchase another brand projector to replace it. He found the other projector was twice the weight and did not notice any discernible difference in the images, so he purchased another Optoma projector. In the first test-run at a venue, I was extremely impressed with the brightness of the 2200-Lumens lamp, which was perfect for my presentations. The lecture venue was large enough to seat 60 guests for a luncheon.
I had read in other reviews that the yellow colors were not as bright as with some other brands. While I found this to be true, it was minimal and not obvious to the audience. The wonderful feature about digital presentations, is that one can compensate for color during the editing process of the images using software, such as Photoshop.
The set-up process was easily accomplished after I reviewed the instructions. After one try, I was confident that I could rely upon the Optoma projector integrated with my MAC laptop. Lastly, the Optoma EP 721 was extremely favorably priced and was about half the cost of the competition. As an example of my satisfaction with this projector, I purchased a second one for the organization that I chaired.

Dell 2300MP Projector with 2300 Lumens, XGA Resolution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After having access to various projectors through employers for several years, I decided to purchase the 2300MP for both home entertainment and business use. In my current setup, I have the projector connected to a TimeWarner DVR (SA 8300HD). Audio is run from the DVR to a stereo computer speaker and subwoofer system (see review Dell Champagne speakers). It is a quite impressive arrangement. At first glance, many viewers' draws drop when they first see the screen, which is merely projected on a beige painted wall.
With a throw of approximately 11 feet, it creates a screen 7'2" across. The formula for the maximum screen size is: diagonal = 0.618*dist + 0.0192. However, this is somewhat misleading as the distance changes with the incident angle (think Pythagorean Theorem). Yet, if any single characteristic of projectors can be considered a handicap, it would be the limitations imposed by the lens distance to the screen.
Distance also affects brightness as there is less light intensity per square area. However, brightness is not a problem with this projector. One of key selling parameters of DLP projectors is the number of lumens, which describes the total visible light output. Low-end portable projectors are generally under 1000 lumens. At 2300 lumens, this projector is bright enough to hold presentations in a daylight-filled room. In fact, the projector is so bright that I have to navigate through the sluggish management menus to reduce brightness when there are scenes with snow-filled landscapes.
While the projector comes with a remote to operate the management controls, the whole system of operating the projector is a big cumbersome. This problem is compounded when the projector is mounted on the ceiling. In certain instances, it is difficult to determine if the projector is on. The small green status LED's are difficult to see from a distance. As a testament the quietness of the fan, it is barely audible and completely unnoticeable when there is any background noise. Unfortunately, in about one out of 25 times, the projector just doesn't start properly. This sometimes necessitates a hard kill by unplugging the unit. Some of these difficulties may present a difficulty for the non-technical user.
Having a separate tuner (owned and maintained by Time Warner) and projection device is a very, very clean setup. This separation allows for added flexibility as evolving video input options that are separate and distinct from the projection device. Despite the distance limitations, the setup is a great space saver. Moreover, the portability is incredible as it only weighs 4.9 pounds. In my case, the [pre-existing] wall is the viewing surface so there additional hardware such as screen.
Before I purchased this projector, purveyors of competing products warned me about the rainbow effect which appears on certain images when displayed via a DLP projector. The rainbow effect is a strange artifact that only some viewers can see. Basically, prismatic colors form around certain objects with parallel lines such as a pinstripe shirt. In the first couple of weeks I occasionally saw the effect. However, I have not seen it in the past several months. In general, the picture is fantastic. It appears that most anomalies exist in the video source because DVD's appear crisper than recorded DVR movies, which in turn appear better than live broadcast television. With a great picture, portability and tremendous flexibility, the Dell 2300mp represents the future of entertainment.
Pros
Giant, high resolution pictures for entertainment or business
Portability
Flexibility
Great performance for the price
Multitude of inputs (svideo, PrPbY, RCA, VGA)Cons
Long Startup Time/ Occasion Failed startup
Sluggish management controls
Required skill to setup
Some limitations on setup (screen size vs. distance)
Electrical consumptions and heat generation
No HDMI

InFocus IN26+ DLP Projector XGA 2400 Lu Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is one major thing that you need to do if you buy this product and that is upgrade to the latest firmware on the infocus website. The firmware that comes with it isn't nearly as good as the one they just released. Overall, for the money you can't go wrong with this projector. It has a decent resolution for a projector in the price range, and the 2200 lumens are more than enough. I keep mine on low power mode all the time and it still runs at 1700 lumens. There is nothing like watching movies on a 120' flat screen! I guess if there was a problem with this product it would be the noise. On low power mode it isn't really noticeable, but on high power, unless you have a movie with sound going, you are going to notice it. I personally love how much they have come down in price. This just last year would have cost me over 1200 dollars easy and now they're finally affordable. I recommend this product.

ViewSonic’s PJD6210 XGA DLP 120Hz 3D Ready Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently took the plunge on a projector. I was actually originally going to get this projector initially but then the Acer H5360 and Optoma HD66 lured me with their 720 peeeez. However, upon many many talks with the wife, I decided to wait on a more expensive 3D PJ until the Blu-Ray 3D thang is all settled. For nearly $300 less than the Optoma HD66, I scored a Viewsonic 6210 at $420. As for the Acer, it is still unavailable here in the 'States as of writing this. Anyways, the projector is tiny and does max res of 1280x1024 (1024x768 native). It supports 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio.
Right off the bat, I felt the color was a bit muted, but the projector was insanely bright. I borrowed a HD20 Optoma for months and this rivals the brightness of that PJ. Picture clarity of the 6210 is what you would expect of a XGA projector. It's clear, but no 1080p. I played with the color and was satisfied but never undeniably impressed. It's passable (for my standards), but I think I need to do some more tweaking.
After a wrestle with an on-board GPU, I finally got the drivers to work for my 8800 GTS (thanks to Windows Update - nVidia installer flat out would not work). 3D Vision wizard was an absolute breeze. It recognized the monitor instantly. I tried some movie trailers (Bolt, Fly Me to the Moon) and they were EXTREMELY impressive. No ghosting, very clear.
I then tried Avatar the game. Blown away. I was used to playing on a 120hz CRT but playing on a DLP projector is just... better than I imagined. ZERO ghosting. I mean, zip, zilch, nada. The brightness dips heavily in 120hz mode, but you can make up for this for the most part in the number of options via the nVidia Control Panel, in-game settings, or PJ settings.
I hooked up my 360 to it with ease via the VGA cable that is available. It looked great, along with HD Netflix streaming. The PS3 was a different story. It's super easy and looks great when you have the right connectors, but I had to order the PS2/PS3 component cable first, and a VGA to component adapter which took forever to arrive (accidentally ordered from a Chinese seller on ebay for the adapter). Once its all hooked up it looks really good in 720p, but 1080p was too compressed for this PJ. Blu-Rays actually look pretty damn good too on my 88" screen. Definitely "HD" looking although the projector is technically a 1024x768 native image.
Summary:
Pros:
Small
Bright
Zero Ghosting
CHEEEEAP!!
100% 3D Vision Compatibility/Support (although did not work for Mirror's Edge)
Clear
Cons:
Less-than-impressive Color (not bad, just wasn't impressed)
Not Technically HD (but can take HD signals and def looks HD)
Dimming in 120hz Mode
No HDMI Port, which was obvious before I ordered, but still.
Need lots of connectors too hook up PS3
I also posted this review at the nVidia 3D Vision forum.

Mustang SC-E92D169 92-Inch Electric Screen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little sceptical about getting this seeing how only one place locally sold it and seeing how it was so big, cheap and motorized all at the same time. The only other ones I could find like it would set me back at least $450. I bought this from a local store online and paid only $312 for it including expediated shipping and taxes. There was only 1 review I could find on this and it was good, just said minimal ripples as one of the only complaints. I pulled this monstrousity out of the box, had a little trouble mounting it, not due to the screen itself, but due to my wall and finding a stud. I just bought replacement stud screws and its hanging just fine. It lowers pretty slow, but that's not a problem but beware, this thing is huge. Much larger than I expected. The viewing size is right around 9 feet by 6 feet and the actual length of the base of the screen is every bit of 116-117 inches long, so keep that into consideration. I have a sony vplaw 15 set about 13 1/2 feet back and it uses up every inch of the screen and it is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced. I'm very happy with this screen and don't think I could have landed a better deal, just wish it could have been bigger since my projector projects an amazing size from the distance that its set back at.

Epson PowerLite S1 Multimedia Video Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Looking at the S1 in respect to using it for home theatre -
* it provides a brighter picture than most Home Theatre Projectors at 1200 Lumens
* the picture is very clear
* the colours are accurate and vibrant
* the contrast is average. DLP PJ's like the Infocus X1 have better contrast but u risk seeing rainbow effects with cheap DLP PJ's
* It has a short throw lens so 10 feet gets approx 100 inch diagonal screen so it can suit small rooms down to say 9 x 9 feet
* It doesnt have a genuine zoom feature so placement in a room is limited
* It is SVGA resolution but with the .5 size pixels (instead of .7 on most SVGA PJ's) screen door/pixelation is much reduced. I have it in my 12' by 11' bedroom at a diagonal screen size of approx 95' and it looks supurb.
* Fan sound is about average. It exhausts the air out the front so can be mounted close to a wall
* It doesnt have manual individual colour adjustments. The 5 preset viewing modes will be fine for most, coupled with the ability to adjust contrast/brightness.
* Try to position the PJ at right angles to the screen in order to avoid using keystone correction. The picture looks slightly better if u dont use keystone correction with this PJ.
* The PJ itself is very inexpensive and the replacement lamps are the cheapest i have ever seen. Would be good if the lamp could go more than 2000 hours but since they are so cheap its not so much of an issue.
* Many S1's are sold/have been sold so it should be easy to get replacement items such as lamps in the future.
* Doesnt have a individual component video connection. U have to use the RGB port so if u have a pc u have to share this port. Would have been good to have a seperate component video port.
There are several entry level PJ's which are providing performance at a level previously only found on PJ's much more expensive. At similar to the EPSON S1 price point you could look at Infocus X1, Hitachi CPS210, Sanyo Z1 amongst others.
In Summary Epson S1 - Bright, very clear picture, excellent colours, short throw, cheap globes
Im very happy with the S1. The most important issue above all is the picture and this PJ's picture is crystal clear, bright and vibrant.

By the time it reached me the box had been retaped and was either a used screen or damaged during shipment. Sent it back and ordered another. Next one delivered with a huge dent in it. UPS determined that the packaging is inadequate. Be warned! -to send it back, UPS wants to charge you half of what the screen costs. If I had to do it over again, I would run from these guys. There's a reason it's so cheap. Screen itself is wavy and does not seem to hang properly. You get what you pay for with this one. Lesson learned.

Elite Screens EZ Cinema Floor Pull Up Projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-150in. (Max White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After battling with a 120-inch tripod screen, my family decided to give this EZ Cinema screen a try. Let's just say the tripod battles are over! We do plan to move things around our family room in the future, so we definitely wanted a portable-style screen in the first place.
We simply can't say enough about this item - the screen set-up time is right around 30 seconds flat. Seriously. The black "bottom" is made of very sturdy aluminum-type material, and we simply leave the "bar" sitting on the floor at all times. The two little "feet" swing out for more support, four suitcase-style snaps are opened, two support bars are easily inserted into the back base area, and you pull the screen up. That's all there is to it! Now we have awesome 150-inch images in our family room with ultimate ease.
Though made by the same company, we think this 150-inch screen has a better image than the tripod one did. HD is amazing, but even SD images or DVDs from our projector are breathtaking. Couple that with the ultra-easy set-up (and take-down), and we're happy campers! Bravo, Elite Screens!
P.S. Just keep in mind the measurements for this item - it's a LOOOOOOONG piece of equipment! We actually brought it in through a family room window, as it was far too long for swinging around doorways and such in our house.

BenQ Joybee GP1 Mini-LED DLP Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm very satisfied with this projector. I set it up in my bedroom with a portable projector screen (60" wide) and fed it 720P and 1080i inputs thru the component outputs of my HD satellite receiver and DVD player,(Toshiba XD-E500, available on Amazon, DVD upscaled to both 720P/1080i)to the VGA connector on the projector and it performed admirably. I moved the projector back to fill the entire screen width (60") with a 16X9 picture and the clarity/sharpness when receiving 720P/1080i signalling was better than I expected. The picture with a dimly lit room was very watchable and with the room darkened was outstanding. The colors were bright and vivid and the brightness/contrast were excellent. I used a RCA component male x 3 to VGA female adapter cable, 1 ft. long,(vendor description-HD15 VGA female to RCA x 3 male double shielded, HD15 to component video, available from Wholesale Cables on Amazon), that mated to the projector's VGA male connector plus a 12 ft. component cable that mated with the adapter's 3 male RCA's thru 3 RCA female to female barrel connectors. I also used a video switching box for the video, 4 inputs/1 output, and audio switching box, 4 inputs/1 output for the L/R stereo audio (available from Radio Shack) so I wouldn't have to keep unplugging/plugging cables all the time. I connected the L/R stereo audio switcing box output to my video/Aux audio inputs on my Aiwa home stereo/CD unit. Setup was very easy as the projector has auto-keystone adjusting feature. The projector has pre-programmed selections for movies/photos/pc/brightest/user. The user setting allows the user to set their own desired picture settings as they wish. The projector distance from the screen to fill the 60" width of the screen was about 9 ft. Although the projector has a tripod mounting hole, I used a music stand available from any music store and velcro'd the projector to the music stand. The music stand is adjustable in all three dimensions, pitch/yaw/height with locking adjusters when you get it where you want it to stay. This setup sure meets my needs/requirements completely and no lamps to replace periodically on the projector (it uses LED's). I was concerned about the 100 lumen output of the projector prior to getting it home and trying it out, but my concerns were relieved when I set it up and actually saw the picture for myself. It's not washed out or too weak to watch. I was extremely pleased with the video quality of the projector. I watched a MLB baseball game on it and fast moving objects (the ball,runners) were not blurred at all. I'm satisfied. One note: the projector pictured on Amazon doesn't look like the present BenQ Joybee GP1 model that I have. Mine is white with a black top and is almost square. Perhaps the version shown on Amazon is an earlier or another version of the product.

Epson PowerLite S5 3LCD Projector by Epson Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this yesterday because I needed something small for the living room in our apartment. I set it up on the book shelf to shoot over the fireplace and it's impressive. The wall is flat white paint and I didn't want to hang a screen being in apartment and the picture looks great. It's brand new so I hope it will do well in the long run but for now I would recommend it.

Aosom 100" Electric Hdtv Projector Screen 87"x49"-White Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works great in my home theater. However it is probably my own stupidity but I assumed the measurements given (87" x 49") were for the entire product. This is not the case it is only for the white part of the screen. Being that I had a 90in space to fit it in I was looking for something 90ins or less. The casing comes in at around 109 inches. Well two homemade brackets later and the screen is awesome. the screen moves up and down quickly and the motor is not too loud. I did notice that the sides are starting to curve in but it is not effecting the actual projection surface. Putting it up was fairly simple there are two screw holes like you would find on a wall shelf. I put it up in a few minutes (after figuring out the size issue) with some help form an extra pair of hands.
