I'm want this to show PowerPoint Presentations. Will this work, must the room be dark, and will the included remote change my slides?

Works wonderfully with PP and is extremely bright. We have had no problem with having to worry too much about darkening the room. I could not figure out how to get the projector linked with the computer to work the slide advance feature (I'm not too technically oriented). Solved the problem, however, for twelve bucks by picking up Oem Presenter with Laser Pointer and Powerpoint Presentation Remote Control Clicker (O-PRC-0130). It is really slick, with forward/reverse feature, plus a laser pointer. It works like a champ. Good luck. Cheers...Ed B.

Hard to tell, if I'm not there. Be sure the carousel is aligned properly with the projector with the "0" position on the carousel aligned with the notch in the projector. This can be tricky sometimes. Be sure the slides are the right size and also loaded correctly. You can advance the slides either with the forward and reverse buttons on the projector or by the remote. It should work. If not take it to a local repair shop.

You can do slide shows, but I don't use that function. It plays almost every video format there is if you like movies. It works very well and I would recommend it for movies but again I don't know much about the slides but suspect it will work very well.Hope this helps

Hello. It works like a mouse. You could left-click in PowerPoint to change slides, just like a mouse. Other than that, it really is not a presenter like the Logitech device.

It does not come with any remote, you are able to use it from USB or min SD card to project picture, but for power point you need to be connected to a computer wit P.P. Do not ever think to connect it to the the lighting connector of Applr divice because it does not work, even with th adaptor, I waist a list of money traying to do it and a fail, I tried to connect someone of Phillps in order to give me a solution it was imposible nobody answer, chat mails or whatever, so I have the divice in the deep of a box useless because my princial interesting was to use it with IPhone 6 and Mini IPad, divice is beautiful, fairly nice view when you project from a computer.

You in fact do not have to be in a well lighted room for it to work, due to IR tech. The amount of movement required for response is extremely minimal, and can be adjusted in the setup software. I use mine for MSFSX, and the only problem I've encountered is when I have shiny stuff behind me in its field of view. Enjoy, this is a great product.

That's going to be pushing it. If it's a clear line of sight, it *might* work, but I'd hate to bet my life on it. Realistically, since this is the best of the consumer remotes, if you absolutely, positively need it to work 100% of the time, you're likeky going to have to bite the bullet and step up to a large, heavy, expensive professional unit, such as the PerfectCue (dsan.com/CueLights/PerfectCueMini.asp).

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.

I am not certain, but I believe this works as a kind of wireless keyboard with only left-arrow, right-arrow, and "b" keys. "b" toggles the black screen in PowerPoint. If other applications use the same key commands as PowerPoint, I think it will work.

It is really not a very good instrument for viewing slides ! I use a flashlight. I wish I had invested more for a better viewer

I think I bought mine at B+H photo. Their we site doesn't list it, but under accessories for the 220 they list Honeywell - PPRF Wireless PowerPoint Remote, which I assume is compatible, but you should check with B+h or Honeywell or 3M. BTW, I have to jump through hoops to get my slide shows in the order I want - it seems the folders only organize themselves chronologically by modification date. Does anyone know if there is there some special software I should be installing on the projector?

same opinion than dj. it's a great idea for classroom but you have to make sure the room is quite dark. however the compact and small dimension of the projector is the best deal

You can use it as you can use a mouse for presentations, but not the best "presenter" remote. Get the "Ring Pointer" from Genius instead, that one is great for presentations and it has a laser pointer as well. The main issue for presenting with the Mouse Ring 2, is that there's no easy "back" button for presentations. The "Back" button on the device seems to only work in browsers. To go back, you will have to right-click and select "Previous" from the popup menu. A second option is to activate scrolling button, then slide your thumb up or down to scroll through slides, but I found that too hard to control, it always scrolls too much (2-3 slides at once). It is great as a mouse though. Here's the link to the presenter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQ16ZR8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes a remote is included however to play PP files off of a flash drive you will need to first "save-as" a JPEG-interchange-format in Power Point or the projector will not recognize the files (it does not play Power Point files directly)

Yes. I used it for a Keynote presentation in Fort Worth last month. It worked great. I was able to use the two screen presentation mode. The projector showed current current, and the iPad showed current and next slide.

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.
