Is this a good projector for business presentations with text, video, images?

Yes/No. You need the lights fairly dim to get a good result from this thing, and if the projector is far from it's screen getting the sharpness narrowed in for text can be tricky. It'll work in a pinch, but a large well lit room would not be good.

I would not try and use this projector for presentations, the focus is not sharp enough.

yes. the projector is like a Monitor to provide the image. It has nothing to do any operating system.

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you

Your blacks are only as good as the lack of ambient light in the room, and that holds true for any projector regardless of whether it's 60 lumens or 6000 lumens. The 3M is really a $200 projector, the Roku stick makes up the other $100. If you draw the shades during your office presentation and hit a normal projection screen then this little projector does a respectable job. If you're in a normally lit room and not hitting the screen with any direct light you can hit your screen with 40 or 50" image that's also quite respectable. If you're in a darkened room then it looks quite good even out to 6 feet. It runs equally bright on battery power or when it's plugged in and there is a power saver mode that reduced the brightness by about 25% to increase battery life. The batteries will easily take you through a 1.5 to 2 hour presentation in full on mode and probably 3 or 4 hours in power saver mode. There is also a function that turns just the bulb off and on instantly so you don't have to go through a boot up sequence (especially handy if you use the Roku stick) I have used for 5 different presentations myself, and my little 3M projector is currently in China being used for several presentations to show high quality stock footage. I also use it when I travel so I can watch Amazon or Netflix or Hulu Plus in my hotel room on a 5 or 6 foot projection Obviously a white wall is best but it's not too shabby on an off white wall if the room is dark. Bottom line, it's a nice little projector, very portable, very high quality product and nice image quality at 720p. Based on my personal experience with this projector I would recommend it for home entertainment and for smaller office presentations.

This projector is not a good quality projector. Perhaps, it's good for its size. But I would only use for temporary solution or for convenience, like when you travel and you don't want to carry a large projector. If you intend to use a projector for watching movies regularly at home, then I suggest you get a higher quality projector.

Hi there, sorry late response. This projector is very good, for presentations as well. However it's not strong enough to work with daylight, just closing curtains is not enough, it has to be really dark. In the evenings it works perfectly, even with lights on!!! I mainly use it to watch movies in the evenings, perfect! Especially the big screen, love it!

Definitely! When I first use this projector at a national conference, the group before me commented on how much nicer my projector was from the one their school had provided for them. Great image projection even in a large room. Very pleased with this selection.

I don't know if it projects video well but I can say that it projects pictures wonderfully on white canvas so I'm assuming it would be fine.I do think you should consider a media projector though if you're only wanting to do video bc the media projectors are much cheaper depending

Its a good projector but the one I had does have in-built speakers for when using HDMI but struggles to use the audio cable when using the red/yellow/white cables for AUX devices. Your computer can hook up to speakers or stereo but as far as the projector, I do not think so.

The projector at 10 ft would throw a very large display probably 110" the problem these projectors have with text is that they use a diamond pixel instead of a square pixel so the edges of text can be fuzzy. If you are using this in a presentation or business environment it will not be bright enough with any light of any magnitude. An open window will wash out colors and contrast. Go with the ml500 (same diamond pixel problem but brighter) or choose a laser / led hybrid with a different dlp chip. I'm not saying this isn't a good projector for its purpose (portability) but if text is your first consideration and portability comes in at a five or six in the list then this isn't the right one for you.

Yes... You'll need a projector as well. Epsom makes the best projectors from my experience.

Absolutely! This is the most inexpensive HD projector you can get. It works fine. I projected onto a 110 in. screen. The image is flawless. The only "downside" of the projector is that you can't move the image left or right without moving the projector, which is only an issue if you are thinking of installing the projector to the side of the screen. Most people have their projector installed in the middle of room and directly onto the screen. Also this the top HD projector recommended by the Consumer Reports.Also I got mine for $850.

Yes! Easy to use. We host backyard movie gatherings. This projector set up worked perfectly.

Should work perfectly. I use this in my home cinema which would not be the size of a pub venue but I have used it externally and put it on a 130 inch display. Same results as my normal 92 inch display. The only issue you may encounter is if the room is too bright - the image is good but you may want to go with the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020 2D and 3D 1080p Home Theater Projector. It is a lot more expensive option but the image is going to be a lot better in brighter environments like a pub. (As amazon.com as a money back guarantee, maybe try the cheaper projector first to see if it works in your environment) Should work perfectly.

Projection is decent, although we have to hook up our own sound. Works fine with a Bluetooth speaker connected to the laptop. We use ours for movies for our block parties, so it's fine for that. For important business meetings, I would suggest something sharper and with sound.

Yes it is. i use it for presentations and short clips at work all the time.
