Looking for a projector for outdoor movies by the pool.....Is the picture quality good and bright for outdoor use at dusk to night?

It's perfect for outdoor use but you will need a screen for that extra pop.

Picture quality is awesome. However- not sure about your setup, but a short throw doesn't make much sense for an outdoor projector. Also not sure about brightness for outdoors, since there tends to be a lot of light outside that you can't control. Probably safer to look elsewhere.

Yes it will work, I used this projector to train my students and I used it outside. It is a great projector for showing movies on. Hope you have a great time with it.Nathaniel

That is exactly what we use it for, as well as boxing and football games! It's so much fun! Sadly, at only 2000 lumens, it does require darkness. Set-up happens @dusk and shows start after dark(looking forward to changing back to standard time...summer movies start quite late! Next projector I buy will be 3000+ lumens for that reason. It does work wonderfully though, friends are always impressed. One thing to note, sound it a bit lacking so we hook up our Bose Sound Dock for booming sound using "audio out" (RCA cable with headset plug on other end).Hope that's helpful.

Hi, it's a great, small, portable projector. The only negative thing is that the room has to be fairly dark.

Hi Lisa, I took pictures at an indoor water park. The pictures came out okay. I just scrapbook the pictures, I don't typically blow them up to 5x7 or 8x10. So, for my use the pictures are fine. The fast movements were a little blurry. I have not taken any underwater pictures yet. I took the camera outside for our school snow days. Those pictures in the sunlight were bright and colorful. The fast movements came out okay. I have a few inside pictures during the day and they look pretty good. I have one picture taken at night in my bedroom. My navy blue shirt looks great, but my face is a little orange/yellow and the bedroom in the background is not crisp at all. I think the lighting is responsible for that. I have a few movies on the camera, but can't play them. They are MOV. I tried Quicktime, movie maker, media player. I'll have to play around with it. I hope I don't have to convert these. So, at the moment I can't give you any information on the movies. I wanted the camera to take out to the pool and so far it seems like it will work great for our use. Please let me know if I can help with any else. I'm not sure what you mean by artifacts. I don't think graininess is an issue, but I'm just a mom taking pictures of kids and my photography knowledge is limited.

You need a dark room for the best picture. When I had this projector I tended to only use it at night.

We use ours for outdoor movie nights all summer and it works great. We hook up an extra speaker since we usually invite others. We have no complaints about this projector, it was an awesome projector and perfect for indoor/outdoor family movie nights.

I didn't check myself but I mounted my projector 14 feet away as well (I think that was a recommended distance) and It played amazing hd quality on my 100 inch screen and its bright! I would love to know how much distance you can get outside. It'll save me from testing it out on the side of my neighbors house.

Outdoor video is okay, as long as there is good lighting. The low lux on this particular brand is not all that exciting, making playback of videos taken in low light situations somewhat fuzzy and greyish. The zooming qualities should work fine for sports, although you shouldn't expect the quality as compared to that taken with , lets say, a 14 0r 16 megapixel camera. Hope this was helpful.

You can use it in or out side. also you can project from behind you just need to adjust the setting on the projector so it beams the image flipped if you are agin project from the rear. it truly enhances the quality of the image since it's a silver screen. As in the fall it starts to get darker out earlier, it will be nice to have a movie night or watch a game outside.

yes, Carl's ProGray - great choice! I have an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 1080p 3LCD Projector ( 2000 lumens ). I am very pleased with the picture.

I think it primarily depends on your material. So long as it isn't opaque you should be good. I experimented with a few translucent materials such as plastic sheeting, a backyard awning and a bedsheet and it looked great from the other side. You are always going to lose some brightness but thankfully this projector has a higher lumen count. You might have to customize your settings and bump up the values of brightness and tweak some colors, but you should be good for rear projection.

I found that this projector was very much brighter than others I have used. I didn't try it in a well lit classroom, so I can't say for sure about your situation but if you have a good reflective screen I think it should be good. At least it is the best I have seen.

Yes! its Great for projecting movies, that's the reason i bought it in the first place, I projected it on a wall at a friends yard and it looked great thank even though no screen wad used, lights off of course, I don't regret buying this projector at all! :) hope this helps.

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.

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.

The picture will be good and clear, however the sound might not be enough. But you can add small speakers that easily plug into the ports on the projectors and it would be work very nicely.
