How is the brightness when you have a well lit room from day light? Can you project a calendar an be able to see it on a wall 6ft away?

The distance is not an issue you will be able to see it at 6 ft away. We have never used it in the day or in a bright room but I do feel if may be an issue as it at times was not extremely bright with some videos displayed on it.

Like all projectors, not the best in a well lit room. I put up black curtains in my basement. Have it about 6ft from the screen, worlds well. Not as sharp as my Sharp projector, but price is reasonable.

I use mine in a gym to project workout videos for classes. Although it is dark in there are still dim lights on so that members can see and it works very clearly. I don't believe it would be good for projecting a calendar, if im not mistaken they don't recommend this model for presentations of sorts.

For nighttime it is fantastic, we bought a 10' collapsible screen and use it (tied to a bigger audio system) for screen-on-the-green presentations. It throws a great image even at that size. I do t know if I would use it during daylight hours.

It all depends of how much dark you can get your classroom and how big your screen would be So, you can buy it and adjust the size of your screen accordingly to the brightness in room Some hints: First -This is one of the brightest led projectors yet (even LG PF85U with 1000 lumens is somehow not so more strong, because image seem those they boost with a wite lamp to get more lumens, like acer k530) Second: Led lamps do not get weak over the time like regular ones do, and the light is somehow much less yellow tinted, so one 700 lumens led projector, can be compared with a much brighter regular lamp projector, like a old 2000 lumens lamp one Third: If you want a brighter and much more powerfull projector, that lasts more than 20.000 hrs, specially to use in classrooms, go to the casio signature models, with 2500 to 3000 lumens (white light also). Those casios have not so great color balance, costs like U$ 830 to U$1000, but are the perfect choice for educational issues, and are really realy strong (there is a youtube presentation were a guy uses it's internal laser source to cut appart some plastic garbage, to show how strong is its light source - of course, when iside the projector, its laser is safe and does not hurt anyone - but dont stay staring directly to the light at short distances, as you wouldnt do also on a 3000 lumens lamp projector...)

I had it mounted on the wall. The picture is about 4 feet by 4 feet and dark. I am not really happy with the illumination. The "lines" of the light are great and loved the color.

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.

Yes, what's your question about it? It looks great, you can adjust the brightness. Or have it auto adjust and set the range. I have mine pretty bright but auto adjust to not be as bright in the dark room as in sunny.

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that.keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

There's 6 different brightness settings, with the darkest being quite dark. I just checked it out and it doesn't even cast a glow around the clock so you can make out what else may be sitting around next to the clock itself. I took a photo if you're interested, but it doesn't look like I can post it here.

It's not meant to illuminate a room by itself, if that helps to answer your question. Obviously, the higher the lumens/watts. the brighter it will be. Hope that helps?

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

The projector at 10 ft would throw a very large display probably 110" the problem these projectors have with text is that they use a diamond pixel instead of a square pixel so the edges of text can be fuzzy. If you are using this in a presentation or business environment it will not be bright enough with any light of any magnitude. An open window will wash out colors and contrast. Go with the ml500 (same diamond pixel problem but brighter) or choose a laser / led hybrid with a different dlp chip. I'm not saying this isn't a good projector for its purpose (portability) but if text is your first consideration and portability comes in at a five or six in the list then this isn't the right one for you.

I use it my living room, during daytime with blinds closed it works great! There is no direct daylight on the screen. In your case If there is going to be plenty of day light a projector with higher lumens than this one might be better but still it depends on how much daylight exposure you are talking about.

My experience has been it projects about 4-5 feet wide before the image is too light to read words on a PowerPoint in a dimmed room. This is with the projector maybe 6 feet from the surface it's projecting on (there's no zoom adjustment). The projector is small and very portable, which is great, but is not very bright.

This calendar clock does not have any kind of light inside. If the light is needed best way is to place it under or above a wall lamp. Night table light is also helpfulI think the device is designed more as calendar than the clock. Hope I answered your question. If no please feel free to ask me. Thanks.

I agree with previous answer. We hung ours from a 17-foot ceiling and project onto a 10 X 20 wall that is only 15 feet away; this is in our 'hi-tech' area with subdued lighting and it gave us a nice effect.

I think it will not be bright enough to enjoy.The Image is not clear if it is projected to more than 6 feet.

Short throw, of course, means you don't have to be far away. I have not tried this in brightly lighted rooms, but it has worked well in moderately (about the level of light at dusk) lit rooms. We have projected this through a muslin cloth screen in a moderately lighted room and the image was decent. I can't really answer the part about short/long throw, but I would image it would depend on the amount of light that would interfere with the "throw" of the projector...so across a longer throw there's more chance for light to interfere?
