FANTASTIC! Beat the Optima GT1080

Previously tried the Optima GT1080 and couldn't get the picture right. The close mounting was great, but there wasn't a way to fine-tune the picture (i.e. stretch corners). The ViewSonic has an amazing picture, amazing features and levels of adjustment, and is very bright.

Superior short throw projector

I was trying to replace my 720p short throw gaming projector with a reasonably priced machine which could play blu-Ray. After much research I chose this because of the variety of number of video inputs. This is one of the few to handle all old technology (as well as HDMI) for those who still have laser disc players and VCRs while having reasonable short thrown distance of about 6 feet on coffee table to nearly fill 8 foot screen. Picture is crisp and bright. I like that if it is not playing a video it turns itself off.

I love to watch movies and this projector is perfect for it. I use a 120" screen and the the picture is bright and sharp. I also like to watch 3D movies so I bought a blu ray player and some active 3D glasses. The glasses synced up with this projector easily and the picture was awesome. I am very happy with this purchase.

Price/quality, I don't think there is a way to find a better product for that price, really happy with the resolution and image, brightness is good enough to use it in a semi-illuminated room.

Awesome Projector for Family Room BUT...

We bought this projector for our great room based on its price and its lumen output. We wanted a projector that could overcome the ambient room lighting if we were hosting a party that required the lights to be on, but we didn't want to pay $1000 either. This projector is AWESOME for that purpose. The colors are so rich and deep that everyone thinks our 110" projector screen is actually an LED TV.
One thing to be careful of with this particular projector is that there are 3 different versions of it, kind of like a car with standard and luxury options. This projector DOES NOT have horizontal offset adjustment capabilities. So if you are doing a fixed projector installation (ceiling mount), you have to install the projector BEFORE you install the screen, since the screen has to be moved side to side until it lines up with the image.

It wasn't the least expensive nor was it the most expensive. We have borrowed a projector from a friend which worked fine, but we found the View Sonic was sharper and clearer at about the same price. Yes we would recommend it!

We were not sure what to expect with our first projector but we set up the 120" screen and projector outside and watched Bad Boys For Life. The visuals were wonderful. We wanted to check out how the projector would handle an action movie and we were so happy. We hooked up the Roku and streamed the movie from there. We did connect our Bluetooth Bose speaker to the projector for a little audio help. We didn't try the projector without the Bose hooked up so I can't say what it would have sounded like without the audio. I did a lot of shopping and am so glad that we landed on this projector!!

This projector is easy to set-up and operate. Shows an excellent picture in broad view; which is what we were looking for. The sound isn't half bad either.

Fantastic purchase. Good resolution & colors. The sound quality is also really decent for a single speaker. Definitely good enough for travel. It gets loud enough for a room. For the price point, you can't beat it.

I bought this to replace an older model that lacked features and had a much lower resolution. I was expecting to be blown away. It works fine, but I was not blown away with the picture.

Used this as a prize giveaway for a college dorm. They use it for group meetings and movie nights. Make sure to check the aspect ratios so you buy the correct projector screen size. Or just shoot it on a white wall.
