Are the projected images clearly visible with the classrooms lights turned on?

Can anyone confirm. How does this XGA (DVD) resolution projector hold up as as inexpensive home theater projector?.. Good refresh rate?.. How big can the image get before pixelating?..

It depends on how bright the lights are and how far from the screen the projector is. This one should be good at twenty feet and with enough light that students can take notes.

the resolution is 800x600 so if you wish to show powerpoints, or anything students have to read on it ,the letters are gonna be blurry if you plan to stretch the size to help 60 ppl see what is projected. the projector is bright but once again from such distance I doubt be enough.

No. However it is not so large so ambient light in the room has provided enough light to see inside

That really depends on how much light is in the room. Because the colors are vibrant you can still somewhat see the projection with the curtains open although it's very faint. When the room is totally lit (i.e lights on or direct sunlight) you cannot see it.

No... It's got a matt finish. Images are bright and clear. There are no reflections from room lighting or sunlight.

Yes. it can. Don't expect to see anything without lighting (i.e. outdoors...doesn't show up). Don't expect anything but the lowest resolution blurry images...but they will move if that's all you want to see.

Yes. Basically whatever you watch on the screen, gets projected. However, the unit is an older design and fairly low resolution. Ok in a very dark room but not very bright either. There are newer units that may improve upon this unit.

I have only used it a couple times, but with normal lighting, it works just fine. At our church's school, they use the same projector. I have used this once to present a Civil War picture program and in a very well lit restaurant situation, again, it performed very well. I don't believe that you will be displeased with it in any kind of lighting situation.

I use it In a classroom setting with fluoresce lights on and it does great.

Dim lights. It works fine in my living room, circa 150 square feet, with one 100-watt bulb. The image was barely visible in my Sunday school classroom with a ceiling full of flourescent lights on. I had to turn the lights off and let the room just be lit by light coming in the windows. So no, I don't recommend it for use in a brightly-lit room. This projector appears to be intended to watch movies with lights out or dim more than to make business/classroom presentations. It's usable if you can dim the lights or turn them off, but not ideal.

Yes, in fact, in some ways having the lights on in the room is helpful since the camera itself does not have a light. If you have the lights out, you may want to put a small desk lamp over the document. We have about 12-15 of these cameras in use at our school and I have heard nothing but good reviews. The teachers love them.

The light source is fixed, and there is a refractive disc moving in a planetary motion while rocking side to side. It looks very realistic to my eye, though your experience may be different. Abco Tech's customer service was beyond reproach when I contacted them with an issue with my unit. I dare say you will not be disappointed with the projector, but if you are, they'll make sure you're a happy customer in the end.

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

We have used this projector in small and larger rooms and it works good to fair respectivly. The rooms are ususally not very dark.

Yes it will but depending on your expectations. The lumens are enough we are currently using ours for school, it meets the need for the bucks. But if you are in advertising or high definitions is needed for your presentations, probably it will be better to invest in a more expensive model. If your presentations are more in-house I will say it ok, meets the needs and can be seen either in a darker room or with daylight with out any issue.

If by illuminated do you mean it can be seen in the dark, not at all. This unit is very basic. The status of what it is doing does display with little black letters & numbers. If you have decent vision it should be clear.

Yes, it is bright enough for studying. All three of my children are using it an no complaints.
