I constantly work on the road, but enjoy using a second monitor. Will this projector work in a well-lit room to project a second monitor onto the wall

yes, every time when I have a meeting with coworker I use this 3M Pocket Projector, Is wonderful. it is not going to let you down

No way.The room must be dark to use the projector.Also the distance must be small.A bad purchase for me. Never got to use it properly.

Hello- here's my answer: In a well lit room? NO. In a moderately lit room? maybe. I have this projector and I like it very much but there are some things to keep in mind. 1- The cables that come with it only work with VGA, RCA and 30 pin Ipad jacks (Ipad 2 or older models). If you have a phone or any other device, you will not be able to use the projector. 2. External adapters like RCA to USB, RCA to Micro USB DO NOT WORK with this projector. Otherwise for very portable, easy to use, battery operated projector, this is good

The answer to this question depends on how close you are to the wall. In other words how large do you want to project? I've found the projector works poorly in well lit areas when more than a couple of feet from the wall.

Most walls have texture and it will imoact clarity but it will work. I use mine for office size presentations. I purchased a tripod from Walmart that extends to about 5' high but collapses to about the same size as the one that comes with it. This setup bailed me out of a big problem.

No. Projecting in well-lit rooms is difficult at its best. You may either greatly diminish 'ambient light' in the room, by dimming the lights and masking the windows. Carl's Place offers other screen materials. FlexiGray is a much better material for applications involving ambient light. Here is a link to a comparably sized piece of FlexiGray: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFDMXUS?psc=1 Please let me know if I can be of further help. Thanks! Joe Carl's Place

I would recommend reviewing the specs on your projector and consider the environment you will be using the screen (i.e. Indoors, low light, room dimensions, lighting type etc). That should help you determine the best screen match for your equipment.

I suspect it will work fine. The projector is not too heavy and if properly centered on the bracket at the center of gravity it will be fine. It will be important to keep the cables and power cord properly stabilized so that they don't pull on the projector. I tied all the cables with cable ties and then fastened the bundle to the nearest wall so that it cannot be pulled from below. Minor movements can easily be adjusted with the remote to recenter the image on a screen. Make sure to connect all the types of cables you might ever use (HDMI, component, VGA etc.) so that you don't ever need to deal with it until you replace the bulb, thousands of hours down the road. I used mine on the lower level and got almost 4500 hours on the first bulb. I did use a shorter mounting bracket but think the longer one should be fine.

Yes! I needed to know myself so I set it up to see. Here are the parameters I used: set machine outside of garage approximately 40 feet from inside wall. Using HDMI input from my iphone as a source. Projected well onto the wal with decent clarityl. Moved closer and quality improved. This was done during daylight hours. Then I moved projector inside garage and closed the door to simulate evening (darker condition with one window uncovered). Projector approx 28 feet from wall. Image very clear with projection measuring approx 120" wide and 720" height. This works well at distance over 40' away and very well at 30' or less. However, the quality of the image is dependent on the amount of outside light. The darker the environment, the better the picture.

It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned. The lighting location matters, I.e. if you turn on a lamp on the opposite wall you'll see very little change... but if you turn the overhead lights on near the screen it is considerably washed out. With my mini blinds closed in the middle of the day the picture is still very good. Short throw does matter I believe. Not sure if I'm saying this correctly but I believe the closer the source the less effect light pollution has on it. If your looking for a projector to use with over head halogen lighting you'll need a significantly higher lumen version. It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned.

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.

I've never used the projector over it's maximum distance, but it has worked very well in medium sized conference or meeting rooms. It is bright enough that the room need not be totally darkened. Low lighting in the room still allows for a clear picture on the screen.

I use a 125in. Stewart screen from 15 to 20 yrs. ago. This was before the screen improvements of today. The light output is so good from this projector that at a distance of 15ft. it is still possible for a good picture in 50% ambienet room light. Like with all front projectors the less light bouncing off the screen the better.

I have not used it outdoors, but I have used it in a brightly illuminated room with lots of unshaded windows, and it provides a bright, vivid picture -- better than any other I have ever seen. (But, if the sun outside is shining directly on the screen, no projector can overpower that. So there is no absolute answer to your question -- "it depends...") Hope this helps.

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

This is a great screen. I use it strictly for outdoors due to it capabilities to do rear projection. It also can do front projection. What kind of projector does he have? LCD OR DLP? Lumens dictate the brightness of the projector. The brighter the better i say... but regardless of the projector it is a good screen for indoor and outdoor. I believe this same company makes a square one now that looks really good... lwt mw know if you have any other questions

I think it should be fine. Against a off-white wall, it's very good and used with a proper screen it's very bright. So much so that I run it in economy mode to preserve the lamp.

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 would depend on the how big of a screen you want and what angle you are projecting. I have my projector mounted on the ceiling and projecting a 110" image on my wall. I have rather good definition although the angle form the ceiling mount makes one corner of the projection not as clear as the rest,(there is a lens focus that you adjust for different distances) but from what I have read on every projector this is a very common problem. I would recommend this projector over any other. between it's value and clarity its a great buy for a big screen without the big price. let me know if you have any other questions.

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!

I use it to project photos on the wall for tracing (I am an artist). I darken my room and have no problems with the display. Sorry, but I do not use it for gaming or movies.
