Great projector, quiet, bright, good picture!
This is a great upgrade from our previous projector! (Optoma HD25lv). We opted for the PA503W model so we had the wide screen option (aspect ratio 16:10). It does only have one HDMI port, so be aware of that. Itâs not an issue for us because itâs hooked up to a receiver (which runs our surround sound, DVD player, and chromecast). The picture is clear, bright & colors seem spot on. I left all the settings on auto and it looks great! I wasnât sure about this projector initially because the description talks a lot about business and education use, but itâs 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 itðð¼ Itâs very quiet (canât 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 wasnât tilted. I canât 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 11â 6â from our 90â 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 youâre looking for a good projector that wonât break the bank, Iâd highly recommend this one.

No 3DTV? Sharp 3D projection and up to 15,000 hour bulb.
If you want to watch blu ray 3D movies, you’ll need compatible DLP shutter glasses after connecting an HDMI cable from your blu ray 3D Player (PS3 with update for blu ray 3D). On the projector, there is not a mode to switch off the 3D effect to go into 2D, so that will depend on each disc. If it’s a 3D only disc, it’s only going to project with a double image that will require the DLP 3D glasses. The cinema Real D 3D glasses don’t work at all, I tried it.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).

Beautiful image quality
We had a ViewSonic before this one, and it lasted nine years, during which we watched at least a move twice a week, and I also surfed to watch a lot of YouTube videos. We loved our old ViewSonic, and we love this new one, too. The colors on the projection screen are crisp, luminous and warm at the same time. My husband got it out of the box and between the moment he called up to me to ask “how about a movie” and my finishing up whatever I was doing and walking down to join him, he had the machine out of the box and hooked up. It was that easy. We use a laptop with a DVD player in it to play movies. The only thing left to do now is to unscrew the old one and put the new one on the ceiling bracket. We also hooked up the external sound system in no time.I want to mention that we tried several LED lighted projectors of different price ranges before coming back to buy this one, as we hoped LED would be a more energy friendly choice. Turns out the colors on the LED lit ones were horribly cold, mostly in the blue/black range and also all of them had terribly loud fans systems on them, both criteria on which we don’t want to make concessions. We like to hear the soundtrack without straining our ears to filter out the noise of the cooling system. This ViewSonic is quiet and I cannot say enough of its awesome colors.We both are very pleased with our new projector and look forward to years of entertainment.If you like my review and found it helpful, thanks for letting me know!

Excellent brightness and clarity
The clarity and brightness of this projector is just excellent, even when using in a room with the lights on. Fan noise is minimal compared to my previous $100 projector.The reason for the 4 stars is that the speaker is crackling and seems to be broken right of this box, which is strange for a new unit. However, I use a soundbar connected via aux cord so I was able to solve for that issue.

Utilizzo questo proiettore per vedere film, con la funzione economy si abbassa il grado di limpidezza dell’immagine, cio non toglie che con la proiezione ordinaria si gode di immagini , colori e contrasti quasi perfetti. Rumorosità accettabile, ottimo prezzo. Spero in una lunga durata

Ãncelikle ürünü çok beÄendim, koÅa süre önce Ãin iÅi bir ürün alıp geri iade ettiÄimi düÅünürsek bu ürün 5 yıldızı hakediyor. Parlaklık olarak son derece iyi. Gündüz rahat izliyorum ama direkt güneŠıÅıÄı gelmediÄini bilin lütfen. AkÅam IÅıklar açık yada kapalı fark etmiyor, görüntü gayet net. 200×200 cam tozlu perdeye yansıttım ve sonuç daha da iyileÅti. Perde alana kadar duvara yansıtmıÅtım, sonuç o haliyle de iyiydi. Kullanıcı ara yüzü iyi, Kumandanın kullanımı basit. Hdmi üzerinden firetv ile kullanıyorum ve kaynak iyi oldupu için görüntü de epey iyi sonuç elde ettim. Ãrün son derece profesyonel. Tek eksik noktası yatay yakınlaÅtırma yeterli deÄil bu yüzden perde üzerinde en büyük görüntüyü almak için kendim ileri geri yapıyorum. Almadan önce bende bu yorumu okuyan sizler gibi epey araÅtırdım. 1080p alacaktım ama iyi perde ve HD kaynak ile bu çözünürlükte de mutlu olacaÄımı düÅündüm ve yanılmadım. Seyir zevki son derece göreceli. Bu yüzden her yorumu dikkate almak kadar almamak da lazım. Birçok kullanıcının ev sinemasından beklentisi Imax kıvamında olduÄu için bu seviyenin altındaki son derede yeterli ürünleri bile beÄenemiyorlar, çünkü çıtaları çok yüksek. Kenarlarda bulanıklık da yok, tüm alanda görüntü aynı netlikte. Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum.

Ich habe lange recherchiert, um in der Preisklasse einen guten Beamer zu bekommen. Dabei bin ich auf den PA503W gestoÃen. Die Marke ist mir aus meinem Berufsleben von Monitoren her bekannt, was mich schon Vertrauen aufbauen lieÃ. Und ich bin nicht enttäuscht worden. Natürlich gibt es immer offene Wünsche. Andere Modelle haben einen oder gleich mehrere Kartenslots, das hat er nicht. Auch kann man keinen USB-Stick anschlieÃen, denn er hat nur eine Mini-USB-Schnittstelle, über die kein Signal eingespeist werden kann. Dafür hat er aber alle sonst heute gängigen Schnittstellen, wie HDMI, VGA, COM und Video über Cinch. Für mich war wichtig, den Amazon Fire-TV Stick anschlieÃen zu können, das funktioniert hervorragend.Die Auflösung von 1024 x 800 (HD 720p) bringt er und er projiziert das Bild vollflächig scharf. Der Trapezausgleich funktioniert in einem groÃen 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.
