Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being a teacher gives me many opportunity to deal with many powerpoint projectors
(I'm only in my late 20's but it used to be overhead projectors :P)
I use this projector every week and it works great~!
Features that I liked:
- Easy to see labels to show which VGA belongs where and etc.
- You can turn the projector to sleep mode just simply by closing the lid, and when you open the lid again it shoots the screen real quick.
- It's sleek and good looking for a projector.
- Very quiet, I don't hear any annoying fan noise.
- Very simple to use.
- Great color! Love showing Movie Clips and Keynotes on them.
You can't go wrong with this projector, and I think it's the best one out there for this price range.

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.

Vivitek D825MS 2600 Lumen SVGA DLP Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Use this at work in a medium size office for wall projection. The unit works perfectly, provides very sharp images, and is easy to focus. Operates for hours without overheating and shuting down like other projectors I have delt with. Video input options make this very versatile as well and since it comes with a carrying case and is light weight the unit could be taken any where for a remote presentation with a laptop.'
Very satisfied.

DG 737 HD Home Theater Video Projector LCD 640x480 Pixels Wii, Ps2, Xbox, TV, PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were amazed at the picture quality and function of this unit. Compare to the "name Brand" Units that retail anywhere from $599-$1500 and you won't believe that you get the same performance all for just over $300! Could not be happier with the unit! It is an LCD projector so you must have dim to dark lighting conditions to view in. So Not good if you need it for meetings and presentations in light rooms? For that you will have to pony up a couple hundred more $$$ and buy DLP technology. But if your looking for Movies, Big Screen, Gaming in the basement, media room or just dim to dark room, this is a great unit for you!

He paid Three times as much for his Big name unit he paid $2,200 at a big box store and he couldn't tell the difference! Image through HDMI is INCREDIBLE! Great for Educational and Presentation purposes as long as you can dim the lights.

Optoma DS317 2600 Lumen SVGA DLP Multimedia Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
