Great Performer/Great Price
By Dan M. Beadle
It seems only yesterday that I bought an XGA projector.. But when it came time to use it, the 800 x 600 format just didn't work. I could only display about 1/4 of my laptop's screen.I looked a bit - there are plenty of "1080P" projectors out there. But if you read the fine print on many, they only accept that input and down-scale to a much lower resolution. I even found an old XGA which claimed to be HD 1080.This is the real deal. Its native resolution is 1920x1080. I hooked it up to my laptop's DisplayPort and fired it up. Windows 7 knew about the projector - the projector found the HDMI input and came right up.The picture quality is very good.. But viewing complex spreadsheets is still tough, even on the big screen. A small detail, such as a period, isn't quite as crisp as it is on a new LCD Display. (To be fair, I am projecting on a white wall, I expect this to improve when I hang a screen)PowerPoint displays look amazing.. The color is very good. We briefly tried a movie, but the only content we could find around work were web trailers - not necessarily 1080p. We liked the quality we saw and wrote most of the artifacts off to content - not the projector. I am interested in seeing how this projector would do for home theater.. While ViewSonic doesn't seem to be positioning it for home theater, I suspect it would do a reasonable job. It certainly is a very cheap way of getting a 10' screen.The controls are fairly simple. I quickly gravitated to using the remote. With other projectors, I have tossed the remote very early - finding them cumbersome. But the ViewSonic remote works well. First, it isn't picky about where you point it - anywhere in the general vicinity of the projector seems to work. Secondly, the software seems to have been designed around the remote, not the front panel. Navigating menus is easier with the remote.The quoted bulb life is incredible at 4000 hours.. That is likely to be longer than I will use the projector. That is 2 full years of 8 hour work days. I tend to use the projector a couple days a month for presentations. But even in an busy office environment with daily use, bulb changes will be infrequent.I live at high altitude. I was surprised to find a "High Altitude" setting. I set that and the fan picked up speed to move more air to compensate for the thinner air.. Noise picked up a little, but was about "normal" for a projector. When making my first presentation to a customer at sea level, I turned that setting off. The noise virtually disappeared. This is the quietest projector I have heard. Shutdown is also very fast.. The fan rarely runs after the bulb is turned off.The projector comes with all of the needed accessories - a pleasant surprise. It included a great carrying case, with a pocket for the included VGA and HDMI cables, power cord and drivers CD. The carrying case is padded against the normal bumps you might encounter carrying the system with the shoulder strap. It is much lighter than my laptop. Clearly, they have target this at the mobile workerMy only objection is in the video interface. My laptop outputs DisplayPort or VGA... I prefer DisplayPort's digital feed. So I bought a nice thin 15' DisplayPort to HDMI cable. When displaying windows full-screen, I found that part of the menu bar was missing. The issue is the display turns on "Over Scan" to discard the first few lines of the display, the last few lines and the first few and last pixels of the displayed lines. This is to avoid displaying digital control data that is sometimes embedded in satellite and cable video feeds. On my ViewSonic LED/LCD computer displays, this is the default setting, but it may be turned off.I contacted ViewSonic Chat. They were very prompt and knowledgeable and confirmed my diagnosis. But... In this unit, there is no way to turn off Overscan.After a little fiddling, I was able to use my NVidia display controller to resize the display 2% on each edge. This got my window menus back. But, this may be part of the issue with the "." not being as crisp as I want - the NVidia Controller may be interpolating the pixel and injecting fuzziness. I need to go back and try this again.The ViewSonic Chat Agent suggested using VGA instead, as they do not assume overscan. (Ironically, they do let you control overscan for most modes - just not HDMI, which they seem to assume should favor plug-and-play over fidelity).This has been a wonderful purchase.. It has improved meeting quality and greatly reduced my frustration during detailed work-sessions where we need to dig into the dreaded fine-print spread sheet. And, the Amazon price is at least $100 less than everyone else I have seen.

After 2 months of researching for a projector I finally chose this one.Reasons: 1080p. Many projectors under $1,000 claim to be 1080p, but read the fine print and requirements and learn they're really not. I saw one for around $425, but says only if you use a certain cable or equipment you get the 1080p. Warranty... 2 years vs 1 year with the Optoma brand. Replacement lamp.. avg $175 vs over $250 for the Optoma. I've read if you want a versatile projector that does good with some outside light, you need at least 3,000 lumens. This one has it. Overall, when comparing with it's competitors, you just can't beat the quality, warranty, specs, reviews for the same price range. Check out Decide.com for price history, current price and projected price (1 year membership required for around $30.00) If you need a HDMI 1080p cable longer than 30 feet, go with Redmere technology from Monoprice dot com. I tried 2 different brands at 50feet and nothing came through. A bit pricy at around $65.00 for 40feet, but hey if you're gonna spend big bucks for a good quality projector, why not spend a bit more for cables that actually work!

We used this projector for my son's birthday party. He hooked up his Xbox 360. The picture was very clear, beautiful color. It is very easy to use plus the carrying case makes it portable.
