Dvd Projector For Large Screen Outdoor Movies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This power adapter is great!! We have used it on our projector for when we have outdoor movies and it works perfect. The quality is crisp and clear and very easy to set up! We love the Belkin brand in our house.This adapter will get a lot of use this summer watching our outdoor movies on the blow up screen!

I am very pleased with this projector. Projecting onto a 10' screen from a Blu-Ray player, regular DVD's look very good and Blu Ray looks excellent. 720P is definitely good enough for me. I think the uprezing of regular DVD's from my Sony BDP-S570 Blu Ray player improves the contrast and look of regular DVD's. I am super impressed watching regular DVD's this way although of course on analysis they do look softer than Blu-Ray discs. Black levels are not super black but are fine. In regular viewing I do not notice any DLP issues. If I scan my head back an forth really quickly I notice a bit of rainbow effect, but seriously who does that when they are watching a movie? I just did it out of curiosity! Projector is small, light and I see the lamps are comparatively cheap. This for me makes a difference as I do not have to think of the cost of running the projector when lamp replacement is half the cost of some other projectors. I am using the lamp on economy/long life mode and it is plenty bright. Fan is audible but not distracting once the movie is playing. The one issue that should be considered is placement. With only a 1.05x lens finding a suitable place to mount the projector and a suitable screen size and placement took a fair amount of thought. I would say the image quality is higher sending it a 720P image from the Blu Ray player compared to a 1080P image and letting the projector downrez. Also the projector switches from different resolutions with no visible hiccups when this method is chosen. Bottom line - for the modest cost this is an excellent budget projector. Rating reflects that. It surpassed my expectations.

I was completely surprised when I found out how large this projector is. I hadn't paid much attention to the dimensions or weight of the unit until I purchased it and notice how large the box was. This unit was recommended by a reputable source as one of the best home theater projectors on the market. So, I made my decision based on that information and it’s cost. There was another Epson projector that was recommended as being better but it was $1000 more. I owned a Panasonic PT-L500U HDTV Projector for over 17 years and it went out on me and at the time I purchased it, it was the best on the market. The technological advances over the years required not only a new projector but a new A/V receiver and other components. As stated in the beginning, the size of this projector was so much larger than the Panasonic projector (weight 7 lbs vs 25 lbs) that I was tempted to replace it with a smaller projector but the cost/value/capabilities weren't there. After setting up the projector it was easy to adjust the lens, however, I still don't have the keystone set properly. The color and vividness of the projector was great. I would recommend purchasing a tuning DVD to get the colors and contrast optimized. I noticed a considerable improvement in picture quality after calibrating the unit. The cost of a DVD is minimal, at around $20, relative to the benefit. The DVDs I purchased were “Digital Video Essentials” and “Disney WOW” both are great at optimizing the projector. In fact, a calibration DVD should be provided by the Projector OEM. They also should provide printed Owners Manuals that would make the set-up much easier. I noticed my previous components all included printed Owners Manuals, the ones I purchased nowadays don’t. Overall, I would definitely recommend this projector but make sure you have a steady mount.

I use this projector and an old fashioned slide projector screen to watch movies, YouTube clips, and news in my living room, connecting my laptop to the projector with a separately sold HDMI/HDMI cable. Right out of the box without any adjustments, the images had beautiful contrast, resolution, and color tone. Quiet machine while it runs. The brightness is not quite as powerful as projectors one would find at a school or workplace, but I still could enjoy a show just fine if I closed the drapes on a sunny day. At night, it gives a great cinematic experience. Haven't tried its audio system yet because I have a bluetooth speaker I like, but I read that this projector has nice sound. See NYT Wirecutter article The Best Budget Projector for a Home Theater for a helpful description and comparison to other projectors.

Purchased the 135 yard master 2 projector screen for the purpose of outdoor viewing. The frame is lightweight and set up was really easy. Something of importance to me because this screen will be taken down and assembled alot. The screen looks great. Colors are vibrant and the quality of the item is fantastic. The screen and frame aren't flimsy like some of the cheap brands out there.My only regret is that I wish I would've purchased a bigger one. there. Highly recommend this screen.

Great 4k projector for watching movies.

The projector worked out excellently for my needs of projecting my latest movie on a large screen where I had the premiere. The person at B & H who helped me find what I needed was very helpful and, since the projector was on sale, was an even better experience than what I expected. Overall it was a grade A purchase and something I can use in the future. Joe Nuccio

Now that I have used the projector several times, I can say that it is even better than expected. Good images in a large hall with a very large screen to fill.

This is an excellent data projector for someone who likes to display their work onto a large screen. Super bright and easy to carry.

We show movies and sporting events on our large screen. It is AMAZING! Very easy to use, remote is simple, and the picture is beautiful.
