Picture was great was presently surprised by the crispness of the picture. Especially at this price!!! The unit is light and easy to carry, with lots of inputs, the on board speakers are a joke, just loud enough to let you know you audio out is actually working, so you really have to have external audio from your source. even in a small room. I have connected DVD's, VCRS, and my Computer to it and the projection works fine. Still have to learn how to use the remote and unfortunately there is no instructional booklet so I will have to use the cd that came with it and hope the instructions are there. But I've already recommended it to friends

I bought two of these for the price of one comparable projector. I bought these for our church so price was definitely an issue. We were using one projector with a higher lumen factor before and these seem way brighter and much clearer. I would consider these a bargain at whatever price. Thanks for recommending a great product as always.

I bought this projector for my husband for our wedding anniversary. We use it in our basement/ family area. It is a good projector for the price, easy to set up, and is capable of producing a huge screen. It is an ideal projector if you are looking for something for just casual use, such as watching tv or playing games for a short time. The only real thing that I would say is negative about it is that it can be noisy. However, that problem can be ignored if the volume of the show or game is turned up. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase, and I know my husband loves it!

I bought this instead of buying a television for my living room. It was extremely easy to set up and the picture is of excellent quality. I can make the screen size as large as I want which is a huge plus!

This is a really easy to use projector. My 9 year old uses it all the time with ease. Have hooked up to both laptop and blueray with Jambox speakers for sound.

Looking for a starter projector for outdoor movies. Waiting for the snow to melt, but have been enjoying Nexflix and DVD's from our livingroom. Haven't used the speaker for sound since we hooked it into our computer and sound-around system. Can't wait for Godzilla and Alfred Hitchcock to hit the big screen this Summer. Still trying to figure out how to hook up to XBox.
