Review: Excellent projector highly recommended - I’m very pleased with the projector and cannot recommend it highly enough, great product and great price. I recently purchased this projector for a meeting room, I am extremely happy with the overall setup and performance. My requirement was an all rounder projector to connect to my laptop through HDMI, with a budget of approx. £250. I was looking for a flexible projector to put on a table, and no need to mount it. The white colour also makes it blend in the meeting room environment, and stylish compared to ones I have seen before. Also the size gives it the portability to move to another room if needed. Using in a small meeting room used for presentations and meetings, to replace our team sharing a laptop screen or borrowing a projector from a neighbouring office. The image is sharp with good contrast which is needed for small text and spreadsheets. As cost is factor, I have set in Eco mode and this will help prolong the lamp life, this mode has a good brightness and clarity level which we are using at the moment. To setup straight out the box was extremely easy, and using the key stone correction to get the image right on a flush white wall was quick, also the adjustable foot came in handy There is some ambient light in the meeting room and I initially thought that this would be a problem, but I found this did not cause a problem as the brightness and colours compensate. Sound is ok for 2W and if I needed anything louder I can connect an external speaker. Even though the primary usage is for office use, for an SVGA projector playing a video is still good quality. Overall this is a great all rounder projector for a small office/meeting room.
Review: Sharp, Bright & Clear image - Bought to replace an old (10 yrs) ViewSonic projector that developed white spots on image. Tried two different cheaper brands- dull, pixelated and blurred images. Decided on. going back to this brand. Perfect, clear bright image line the predecessor! Love it soooo much. What you pay for is what you get, I guess.
