Hello, I would like to know which is the maximum time of continuous use of this projector. because I would use it for presentations of at least one ho

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.

It has a cord and does not run on battery, therefor it can run for however long you'd like.

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 didn't actually check the extremes so I probably can't give you a great answer. Have you checked out one of these calculators? http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator.cfm....It was helpful for me. I can tell you I'm projecting from around 14 ft and it looks great on a 133" diagonal screen. There's a decent discussion that helped me here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1271155/throw-distance-optoma-hd20 Hope that helps!

BeckBeck, I bought the projector for outside the home use, but still indoors. I use it for video presentations in connection with my religious faith. I am a traveling minister, and I set the projector up in a different auditorium each week. I can plug into the existing sound system with an audio converter, or I can play the projector with sound from the projector only. It has wonderful sound with a long range of projection. So, it's fantastic for what I use it for. I can show video files or a DVD (wish it was a blu-ray player) in full light. But, it's a much better picture with the lights out. It's doesn't have to be pitch black. But, "lights out" helps the picture quality. - I hope these comments help.

I have used it at 7ft and at 15ft. The picture size at 7 feet is about 60 inches at 15 feet is 110 inches or so. I watched a boxing match at 110 and it looked great. The only downside to this projector (and most others) is that you need to have a fairly dark room, or only use it at night if your room is bright during the day. This was my 1st projector, but overall am very satisfied with it.

Guessing "3 meters to screen". Can't relate to this. My projector is maybe 18 feet back from screen (a guess). I get 7 feet wide picture. Can't be less than 6 feet from screen for active 3D glasses to work. There also is a maximum distance too where 3D glasses don't work so well. Don't know what that distance is off hand. Projector has zoom lens so it should accommodate most smaller living areas but maybe not really large rooms or auditoriums. Remember, this product is designed for business office use in small to moderate size board or meeting rooms. Or small apartment use. Not for large loft in warehouse building. Hope this is useful information to you. Guessing "3 meters to screen". Can't relate to this. My projector is maybe 18 feet back from screen (a guess). I get 7 feet wide picture.

It's usable on a coffee table. I'd google the owners manual and look at the throw rate. Also, if you're using it in a room w ambient light be aware of the lumen rate as well. It's a great projector and shows a very clear pic. Email me directly at level5ninja@yahoo.com w any other questions.

I don't know. The seller, who specializes in slide projectors, would be able to answer this question.

If you're using this for a business purpose, I would recommend a projector with more lumens. This is a great projector for personal/entertainment use.

This unit is excellent as a classroom projector. It performs very well in a fully lit room, and of of course much better in a darkened room. Images are crisp, bright and excellent saturation. My classroom setup is U-shaped (tables around the edges) and my projector sits in the middle approximately 10-15 feet from the screen. This setup works well for me with excellent visual results. Hope this helps . . . bgs.

Dear Sir I'm sorry I can't answer for your question precisely as I am in Korea now while the projector is in my house in the US But I could answer it correctly when I get home in late Feb if you'd still want Or you could go to Amazon.com - Epson projector - specification then you might find some information regarding the projection distance. Good Luck and a Wish you happy new year

I havent timed it but, yes it takes a few minutes to start up(i dont think as long as 5-6 minutes) and has some delay with button response when compared to my plasma TV, but this is my first projector and the professional installers(who have done many) seem to believe the delay was completely appropriate

I would run away from this projector. It is not good and overheats your phone to the point of being untouchable. Look for a 3M projector that connects by a cable and has an internal cooling system. You'll be much happier.

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

I am sorry you are having problems. I also ordered this projector, but promptly sent it back as I was dissatisfied with it. I recommend you do the same. I ordered a different model and am very happy with it. I use it for Keynote presentations as well as showing movies. I could never have done that with this model you have. I then ordered the Optoma W303, yes, more expensive, but IMHO well worth it. As they say, "you get what you pay for, if you don't pay much, you don't get much".

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.
