I replaced a 15 year old Panasonic LCD projector and wanted something that would fit in the same opening. This one fit perfectly, plus it's laser (no bulb to replace). I wouldn't call this a short throw projector. My screen is about 20 feet away and I can manually get the picture down to about 9 feet wide. There's also a digital zoom feature that allows you to reduce the picture size even further. My only issue is the left/right screen shift capability. My screen is off center by about 7 inches. The shift left feature seems to only move the right edge of the picture, i.e. compress the picture. It's bright enough to watch any time of day, even though our family room is fairly light during the day. If you need something small and bright and don't need the latest 4K technology, I recommend this projector.

These are nice projectors. I purchased two of them for our church. They brightness and contrast are very good. We use them with the lights on and the are easy to see. They are also very easy to adjust after install. The only negative is: you can turn them off via web interface but not on. There is an on button but it will not turn them on?

I have a smaller bulb projector that is fine for indoors but I wanted to start projector mapping my house for holidays and needed something with more lumens. The 3200 lumens that the projector has is more than enough for me to map my house. Our neighborhood is not dark and there are street lights in my and my neighbors yards around me. The ambient light pollution doesn't interfere at all with the projection onto the house.

I feel bad for those reviews with B stock projectors sent to them. Mine is brand new and functions as expected for a single chip DLP Laser projector. The colors really pop and have to be seen IRL to understand it. Movies like The Grinch and Birds of Prey that have a lot of RGB coloring in to them are great. I am in the category of people that can see the rainbow effect of DLP when moving their eyes across the screen (so -1 for Picture Quality) I have heard that 3 Chip DLP is better however this projector looks really great considering its price. It is fairly quiet as well. When I get it in the mount 12 foot off the floor I doubt I will be able to hear it. Considering that it is not 4K resolution we can comfortably sit 7.5 feet away from a 135 inch screen and it looks sharp, not razor sharp. I don't know who says that is too close, seems like with a TV people sit further away and a projector you sit way closer, it is a totally different experience. I installed a manual pull down screen over my current 65 inch TV so we can either have a pretty good sized TV or a movie screen. I added a Fire Stick to it to be able to stream all content, I run a plex server as well so I can watch live antenna TV over the plex server to the fire stick, Super Bowl is going to be sweet! No regrets on not getting a 4K laser projector as of current they are 3-4 times the price. Laser is way worth the money over a lamp, no warm up or cool down time, and a lot quieter. Update - projector is mounted and screen is installed. The whole family loves it!! 02/10/2021 Update Again - Settled on using an Nvidia Shield Pro, whish I would have done that from the beginning. Ended up pulling ethernet and coax to the Shield for live TV, using a USB TV Tuner and a 1TB SSD Drive. The Shield controls the power on and off on the projector and the Bluetooth volume on my sound bar, the fire stick and cube did not. A buddy of mine went for a 1000 lumen, lamp,4k project, I helped him install it. Nothing against the brand or type but the 4x brightness and quieter fan makes this one the way to go, yeah his was cheaper but I can watch mine during the day with high ambient light. Big improvement in the way I view it, after watching for a month I barely notice the DLP rainbow.

I wanted a projector for my bedroom, that would be able to operate in near-daylight. This was the best and most cost effective unit that I could find, and it is almost ideal! It's quiet, produces a bright and sharp picture and the only downside is that's a bit larger than the the compact projectors. I recommend!

It has a very nice clear, bright picture and easy to use and set up.

Me sorprendido la calidad de imagen. El tamaño en si del proyector es más robusto que otros de la marca. La tecnología láser vale la pena en relación de contraste, nitidez y colores. Lo proyecto en una pantalla de 250" - 300" sin problema. El control es muy simple y debería tener retroiluminación, vale la pena cambiarlo.
