For the image, I have it set at 100" or so, and the image quality is solid. The image is sharp, though there is a screen door effect when you look at the projected image closer and if you hold your hand into the beam of light, you'll see it. But it still looks great. This is like having a movie theater in your home!
While this has a speaker built into it, the sound has no bass and distorts at higher volume, with quiet volume even at the loudest setting. There is a 3.5 mm audio Jack OUTPUT that you can plug into the Viewsonic Projector that will allow you to connect any Computer based speakers that use a headphone jack to project the audible sound. Once it's plugged in, it happens automatically. I listed with headphones on, and the quality is much better than the built in speaker. Will be trying a more powerful bass speaker set up soon.
My biggest complaint is the Menu and remote controller menu. I want SUPER ECO MODE so I can get 15,000 hours instead of 5000 hours in Normal mode. That would be 7250 two hour movies that you can watch before the bulb dies out. That's incredible. But the ONLY way I can get it to stay in Super Eco Mode for the slightly dimmer bulb setting (which by the way still looks great with bright whites and nice darkness), is to go into the settings, switch to that mode and then press EXIT on the remote. If you press Menu, adjust the volume, or any other input, it will automatically switch back to NORMAL 5000 hour mode due to terrible programming. And if the input blu ray film is switched, it also switches back to normal mode without you even doing anything. It's ridiculous and 2/5 stars because of it for something so critical to making the projector bulb last 15000 hours as advertised.
The box packaging this arrives in is strong and sturdy and well protected. The instructions however, are just pictures, so they are pretty much useless and I figured out the buttons and set up on my own. So in other words, just a "quick start up guide" instructions that are very lacking.
Overall though, I'm very happy and thrilled with this new movie projector. You can also play PS4, PS5, PS3 games on it if you want, as well as regular blu rays, DVDs, and blu ray 3Ds. I haven't tried a UHD disc yet, but the resolution may be affected since this outputs 1280 x 800 aspect ratio depending. Test out the best angle and set up for where you'll project your image. I project it right onto my light cream colored wall and it's perfect. I love it!
With TV Manufacturers opting for 4K and 8K these days, they completely abandoned the 3D feature even though there are still studios releasing new 3D blu rays. So this ViewSonic is a very affordable alternative for your blu ray 3D player to display 3D films (compared to the $1000 to 2000+ models).
The picture is clear, bright & colors seem spot on. I left all the settings on auto and it looks great! I wasn’t sure about this projector initially because the description talks a lot about business and education use, but it’s working great as our home theater projector!
We needed a projector with a video input option so we could hook up our Wii and this one has it👍🏼
It’s very quiet (can’t hear it while movies are playing), was really easy to set up, and easy to mount on the ceiling using a universal ceiling mount (mounting holes require 3 screws size M4 x 8mm).
The keystone adjustment was super easy to use to adjust the picture so it wasn’t tilted. I can’t speak to the internal speaker because we have it hooked up to a receiver and surround sound speakers. It took maybe 10 mins to unbox, attach the ceiling bracket, and get hooked up.
We have it mounted 11’ 6” from our 90” screen and it was easy to get in focus and adjusted.
Zero complaints!
It came with a power cord, monitor cord, remote, and 2 AAA batteries for the remote, which was nice.
If you’re looking for a good projector that won’t break the bank, I’d highly recommend this one.

beware... the speakers are terrible. you definitely need a secondary sound system... the Images are sharp the colors are vibrant and the projector produces a very bright image even in direct sunlight... Works well with a fire stick.. you can magnify the image or decrease the image to fit a small room...3800 Lumens makes a big difference in a room full of ambient light..
I have owned 4K projectors before that had terrible contrast and brightness. This projector proves that resolution alone is not an important factor for a home theater projector.
The total price is absolutely unbeatable. Images look bright and vivid, and you can easily see every shade of gray needed in a scenario where you’re watching a movie.
There’sa feature that allows you to reduce lamp brightness (which is super helpful in a home theater where sometimes too much brightness is a bad thing (and said feature allows the lamp to run for approximately 15,000 - comparable to newer LED projectors, but with far better image quality.
If you don’t have enough money to afford an expensive 4K home theater projector but still want super high image quality, this projector is your Huckleberry.
It has been going strong for 2 years now, and it isn't showing signs of giving out any time soon 👍
Top reviews from other countries
Die Auflösung von 1024 x 800 (HD 720p) bringt er und er projiziert das Bild vollflächig scharf. Der Trapezausgleich funktioniert in einem großen Bereich. Das Lüftergeräusch, gemessen aus 1 Meter Entfernung beträgt 25-27 dB, ist also auszuhalten. Die Farbwiedergabe kann nach Untergrund, z. B. Tafelgrün eingestellt werden, auch sind die Farben und der Gammawert nachträglich regelbar.
Der Beamer wird unter den 10 besten Videoprojektoren genannt, eignet sich aber auch gut für Präsentationen.
Ob er 3D-Filme wiedergeben kann, kann ich nicht beurteilen, dazu fehlt mir die zugehörige Technik, das war für mich aber auch kein Kaufargument.
Von der Bauform her kann er mit LED-Geräten nicht mithalten. Wen stört, dass das Gerät auch einige Zeit zum Abkühlen braucht, der sollte sich zu LED-Technik hinwenden.
Von mir gibt's volle Punktzahl, weil das Gerät alles macht, wofür ich ihn mir zugelegt habe, und ich kann den Beamer nur empfehlen.
Er bietet ein helles kontrastreiches Bild. Ist angenehm leise. Er hängt bei mir an der Decke und ja, man hört ihn, ich finde das Lüftergeräusch allerdings nicht aufdringlich. Er hat integrierte Lautsprecher. Da er bei mir als Heimkino Projektor eingesetzt wird nutze ich diese allerdings nicht. Für Präsentationen reichen die wahrscheinlich.
Ja, es ist ein DLP Beamer im unteren Segment und es gibt den Regenbogeneffekt. Wer den nicht tolerieren kann muss auf eine andere Technologie, wie z.B 3LCD von Epson setzen. Ich kann gut damit leben, da er auch deutlich weniger wahrzunehmen ist, im Vergleich mit meinem alten Acer Projektor.
Er bietet die Möglichkeit verschiedene Eco-Modi für die Lampe zu aktivieren. Dieses führen allerdings alle zu einem "pumpen" der Helligkeit. Daher lasse ich den aus.
Die 3D Funktion macht echt Spass. Gerade bei Animationsfilmen kommt der echt gut. Man benötigt noch sogenannte DLP 3D Brillen. Die werden nicht per Bluetooth verbunden, sondern werden über das Bild auf der Leinwand synchronisiert. Funktioniert wunderbar.
Man muss sich im klaren sein, dass es ein 300€ Beamer ist. Kein 2000€ Beamer. Man muss Abstriche machen oder halt mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen. Er bietet kein Full HD oder 4K (native Auflösung ist 1280x800 Pixel), kein WLAN oder LAN und keine automatische Lageerkennung. Mit der PS3 und fest montiert an der Decke ist es aber eine wunderbare Entertainment Lösung.
Hoffe jetzt, dass er mir zwei bis drei Jahre treue Dienste leistet.
