Is this a good projector to use in a classroom?

Yeah. Should be ok. But for better n brightness classroom need to be dark. U may not like it in a brighter room with open windows door.

No. If you are using it for lessons the machine will overheat and shut itself off before you get to the end of the lesson. Even if you use a fan/cooler under it will still overheat in less than 15 minutes. I originally had purchased mine for that same reason.

no..i bought 2 pieces... it turns off automatically every 2nd min... this problem is faced with every one as of I did a review on the net... plz dint buy.. waste of money...I would def recommend LG

yes, but the screen size depends on the distance of projection. The classroom can not be too bright.

I believe so.... I am mainly using this for home theater in a dark room, it does well. But some light didn't affect the projection. It's best thing is its life of bulb, less weight and power saving

I purchased this projector to make presentations at different locations so I do not use a screen just a wall. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I have installed the PRO8200 and the PRO8300 very nice projectors and I see no reason why it would not work for you. for the money one of the bset projectors for the price.I installed both of them in a classroom setting on a 12' screen and you can see the picture nice with the lights on .remember out side is totally diferent,but at night it will look great. you will need around 20'to 25' to to get it to fit a 16' screen.also you will need an audio source to go with the projector .hope this helps

We have it in our Student Center and love it. The short throw lens keeps the projector high and close to the wall. It is a good projector for the money.

this is a entry level projector with the native resolution at 800x480. it is not a full hd projector. the speakers in the projector are small; for better sound quality, you 'd better use an outside speaker. The image quality is good for movies but not for small fonts.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light.-Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement.-Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out.-Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.

This is a very bright projector. I used it in a brightly lit African classroom where sunshine is often an issue. This one holds its own. The image is larger than most projectors, so I've never had it more than 20 feet from the projector, even in a large sanctuary.

I should work just fine. The new lights on it work amazingly well even during daytime. I do recommend it. The fan is a bit noisy though at full power but most projectors are noisy as well. I really discourage you to consider any brookstone mini projectors. They are expensive and have less power.

Yes. I'm a classroom teacher and I bought it for that purpose. I think it does a good job for the money.

Yes it will but depending on your expectations. The lumens are enough we are currently using ours for school, it meets the need for the bucks. But if you are in advertising or high definitions is needed for your presentations, probably it will be better to invest in a more expensive model. If your presentations are more in-house I will say it ok, meets the needs and can be seen either in a darker room or with daylight with out any issue.

I've been using in meeting rooms, suitable for work, classrooms and with friends, no matter if it wall, whiteboard or screen. The far most I used was about 4 mts away, and a screen of 1.5 mts x 1.5 mts. Excelent picture for a portable projector.

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

BeckBeck, I bought the projector for outside the home use, but still indoors. I use it for video presentations in connection with my religious faith. I am a traveling minister, and I set the projector up in a different auditorium each week. I can plug into the existing sound system with an audio converter, or I can play the projector with sound from the projector only. It has wonderful sound with a long range of projection. So, it's fantastic for what I use it for. I can show video files or a DVD (wish it was a blu-ray player) in full light. But, it's a much better picture with the lights out. It's doesn't have to be pitch black. But, "lights out" helps the picture quality. - I hope these comments help.

Yes! This projector has been a game changer in my art studio. The brightness and image quality are great, and it has a very handy remote included. Enjoy!

We use it for meetings in low light classrooms and conference rooms, and it comes out well. We've been satisfied with the picture quality in all kinds of lighting situations.

Yes it is. I bought it for my classroom but I use it for movies as well. It is very bright and better than a flat screen tv.
