Its good for outside use. I like the brightness, having a built-in speaker also is a plus.

I have not tested outside that being said it has very good brightness so I dont think you will have any problems with the projector.

I took us sometime, and we found out - don't do it outside at night - the first time. Try to set it up inside first to get to learn how it react, then go do it in the backyard. The tripod can be tricky.

We use it for our outdoor movie nights. It's great! Use rear projection and that helps a lot.

I just recently purchased a 76c, but I have not used it outside yet. That being said, the 76c is 5 times better than my old Proxima projector from 1996 and I used that outside all the time. Used to project it against a white sheet hung on the side of the house. I connected my laptop via s-video. Most dvd players have s-video out as well so you can go that route as well. There is no reason you can't project outside!

You can use it with a portable screen and the brightness of this equipment surely will be enough to show outdoors

It should work well outside with a movie if it's not a quite movie or your not in a loud area, and it's fairly close to you. I actually used mine outside this past weekend (it was music from and iphone), it sounded great. I even used it near a airport and it still sounded pretty good. I've also found the louder the device it's connected to the louder it will be.If you have the option try dual speakers set might be even better (I have yet to try this though but it couldn't hurt)

Did not happen when I used it, since I placed it in the unit side outside my house.

Ours was under our covered porch, not sure for extended outdoor use, how it would hold up. We only used it for Halloween.

No, I wouldn't say it's an outdoor device. But I did seal all the edges with epoxy glue to prevent moisture from getting into it, then mounted it outside under the eave of my roof to watch my driveway.

Yes it will work outside at night as long as there are no street lights around the sound is impressive but the lamp is only a MR-16 light bulb sold usually at Wal-Mart for around $6 so it's not very bright, over all not bad for the price

I have mine in my backyard, it works fine when it is dark, not sure how good it would work during the day in the sunlight.

That would depend on two things:How dry is the grass(assuming it is not too tall)?How dry is the wood? Some sparks might get through the screen. I put mine in a bare spot or on concrete.

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

It's an outdoor camera, but mine are mounted under the eaves. I can't attest to the weatherproof status of this unit if subjected to direct rain.

As in, is this rated for outdoor use? Not sure. I don't think I'd put mine outside...

Never used in a backyard, but presumably you would need brightness. It is very bright. One thing to note, it has a very short throw. You would set it up very close to the screen. I'm sure they have a chart somewhere, but I would guess 5 feet for a 120 inch screen.

Everything depends on setting..bit I have only used it for outdoor events. No complaints
