Outdoor Projector With Dvd

This cart is at the right height and rolls easily. We have a projector and a DVD player on the cart and like it.

This projector is an amazing little device. I use this projector to watch my DVD collection that I have saved onto my computer. I use the microSD card capability as I find it to be the simplest method of viewing a file. I've tried projecting onto both a wall and a screen and they look great. Obviously it's not the same quality as a full blown projector or an HD TV, but that's to be expected in a device this size. The video was crisp and bright, and was even better than I had expected. The built in speaker works great for a small environment like in the bedroom, but if you're going to use it on a larger scale, you can hook up any speakers that use a headphone jack. You'll also want to be near a wall outlet as the battery only lasts about 60-90 minutes on full brightness, (though there is a lower setting). All of the friends that I've shown it to are amazed. I enthusiastically recommend this projector to anyone interested in a pico projector.

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 am a mobile DJ and I also do movies on location so I use this to carry my projector DVD player and cables. This case is very STURDY with plenty of room for my needs. The handles are SOLID and they are on both sides which is great for a two person carry. The wheels are built to last and it rolls like a champ. It comes with several layers of foam which allows you to customize the fit for your gear. I did not even use all of the space that I could have. Because I am extremely cautious I reserved added layers on the top and bottom for additional cushion (totally not necessary though, I'm just cautious like that). In my picture the foam layer that is on the floor goes on top of the projector and also provides a cozy compartment for my cables and DVD player. On the job this has also doubled as a seat or a table after I am set up for my gig. I am considering buying another one for my lighting. You cannot lose with this case.

I needed to get a composite signal from a DVD player to a ceiling mounted DLP projector across a meeting room. This product filled the bill. It works perfectly, picture is perfect and the price was great. ...

[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 was looking for a projector for outdoor movie nights. I found this projector to be bright enough for viewing even before the sun fully sets. The picture clarity is great. I'm very happy with this projector.
