I want to use this for both movies and to display an excel spreadsheet for my employees; does anyone know how well it displays spreadsheets?

if you use this for displaying text keep in mind it doesn't show text under size 12 very well(unless bold print) but as far as movies and video games its a pretty good projesctor

That I really could not tell you. That is something you would have to ask their customer service guy Trevor about. You can reach him through the ariustek website or sometimes he answers questions on here. The picture is really good displaying movies and it looks great when hooked up through the computer so I think your presentations would look good too.

I have, it looks great, very high resolution, looks awesome playing HD quicktime movie trailers on it. Connect my Powerbook through mini-DVI to DVI converter, then use a DVI to HDMI cord its pretty huge though.. for a monitor for regular use, in my opinion, but maybe i'm just used to my 13" powerbook screen.

I just got mine and it is not worth the headaches and frustrations to PC users. The old Cinema Now displays were excellent and it would have been a good idea to continue that line. I have problems with video and need to buy a new video card. I had to buy a Kanex port. It starts to get expensive.

You're welcome. I have owned this unit for a little over a year now and it has done a great job. I use it exclusively for Blurays and I have a different stand alone for DVDs.

I watch movies regularly. It creates icons on your desktop and in your file explorer that allow you to treat it just like a local drive. You can't watch movies through the backup interface though.

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

It works very well for all my movies. I will skip some areas so when i get new DVD's I will insert them. However you can't add more pages, it will overload it. Good luck

It's not cheap but it is worth it. Above all, it forces your stuff into the correct formats. Apparently Hollywood is very picky about their formats and this will do it for you. It has some very fancy bells and whistles, but I bet anything you won't use much of it. But the format thing, yeah, that will really help you no matter how talented you are.

I'm not sure I understant the question, if you are asking if the unit will opperate for a 1 hour presentation the answer is yes. I use it for several differant types of presentations, some last as long at 2 1/2 hours, some as short at 15 min. I have used to to show outdoor movies as well. The only problem is, you can't run MS programs with out the computer, movies and videos will run on a memory stick.

1. Yes it displays whatever is on your latptop screen and shows it on the TV or projector. Everything shows very good, except when playing videos the texture and color is a lilttle bit faded.2. No you can not play an external hardrive directly with out it being connected to a pc.

as long as you have the right software and monitor to correctly display it, yes

Correct, this is not a widescreen monitor. We have many of these in our office and like them.

I'll be honest... I didn't even check FRU... Mine is a T61 Widescreen and I just went for it... lol... It works fine, I get about 2.5 hours out of it. Not "awesome" but suitable for me. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I use it with my laptop and it works well, you have to place the letters in grnade for greater visualization. to see movies is super, do not need total darkness. I use it day and night. I will buy more to sell in my country, people really liked them.I totally recommend it, the input option is to connect to the pc, the pendrive to dvd and more. I recommend

I have MANY movies stored on it and I can watch them normally, no issues detected. Audio and video run smoothly. I have both Black and Green. I think you'll have no problems using Blue. It's transfer speed is: 6 GB/sJust an advise: the movies for an 80" display/TV should be downloaded in 1080p resolution (full HD), so that you don't get a grainy image. You can also store the movies in the HD, copy them into a pen drive, plug it on the TV and playback them directly from the pen drive, I do this every time I want to watch my movies. Anything else you need, please, feel free to ask me. :-) I have MANY movies stored on it and I can watch them normally, no issues detected. Audio and video run smoothly. I have both Black and Green.

Absolutely! This is an outstanding little presentation screen. It is the same quality as a larger, more expensive screen, but much easier to set up, take down, and store. If you want to present in a larger venue, I would recomend a larger screen, but this is ideal for a small group in a room in your house.
