A must have projector!

I like it because it's small size. Picture is very clear. Sound is ok if play in a small room- great for a movie night in your outdoor camping tent. But you want it louder, there is another way it allows you to connect to an external speaker.

I also the option that I can mirror it with my phone without Internet connection. I also love that it comes in with an international wall plug adapter so I can bring when travel outside of the country.
There is a customer service business card included in the package in case you need help so you don't have to search it in the small printed instructions pamphlet.

I believe its battery is only good 1.5 hrs but you can wall plug it or connect it  to an external portable battery to extend playtime. I have a Tagus rechargeable battery that I can use for this.

This projector is an awesome buy! I just moved into a new house with a purposeful built home theater room. No windows, etc. This projector and 125" screen together with a kickin' sound system is a mind blowing experience. I had all the audio, so had to buy this projector and the screen. Together, they ran less than 750.00. Now I have this awesome movie experience (and sports!) for a fraction of what a big screen that size would cost. I know that it doesn't do 4K yet, but I'm fine with that. When those projectors drop in price, I might consider the upgrade, but for now, this is an awesome projector for a great price!

Received mine last night and I'm blown away by the brightness,  deep color,  clarity and ease of use. There is not much to say other than if you're wanting an affordable and incredible projector that is not only gorgeous,  but bright and bursting with color and deep black levels,  this so the one.  Buy it,  you won't be disappointed

I've had an Acer H6510 (BULB), Vivitek Qumi Q5 (LED) and now the Optoma HD141X (BULB) projectors. And the Optoma HD141X blows them away by far. It powers on pretty fast for a bulb based projector. I had mine temporarily set at 89"W x 50"H (102" diagonal screen) and the picture was sharp and crystal clear! It's sound is overly impressive. I watched Thursday Night Football last night and had to actually turn the volume down from 2/10 to 1/10 it was so loud. I really like the backlit remote so there's no need to squint when using it at night. And even with lights on in the background and off to the side, it still produced a beautiful picture. This was my best projector purchase, without question. I love the Optoma HD 141X!

great projector! with HD now a days..can't stand S-video anymore..
easy hook up and auto detect is just great! whatever you input, it will find the signal and you are good to go with no setup hassle.
right out of the box was good enough setting already ready to shoot and watch your favorite movie. 1.take out from the box 2.plug the AC cable
3.plug the video cable of your choice 4.play DVD!  so simple!!!
while watching the intro, get the fresh batteries out which is included and watch your remote light up in the dark!
only negative is the heat. it gets hot really fast...instantly.
don't put any soft things near this fire...

and finally, i didn't like the packing they (amazon labeled box) did..
much bigger than the projector(about the size of laptop box)and it was
losely packed with just one SHEET of brown paper..what's with that?
no air bubbles, no peanuts
i picked it up from UPS and it was all shaking.. I hoped the "bulb" was alright..afterall..bulb is the most expensive part of the projector...
luckly everything was alright...but i hope these guys see my review and pack their boxes really good next time!!! it's not cheap stuff we are buying you know.....

I just have to say the optoma GT1080 projector is amazing! I had a 720p short throw projector with similar throw ratio(0.5) and always want to upgrade to full HD. My roommate got a Benq w1080st which is pretty good but the throw ratio is just too normal. Finally this projector came out and I finally found the projector I wanted to upgrade to. It has Full HD and good lumens and contrast ratio. It also cheaper than w1080st! When I got this new projector I compare it with my roommate's w1080st, I believe this one is a little better(3D is much better I believe, maybe because the higher lumens)! So I really feel good buying it. I think I have to mention some small cons that optoma can improve, when you try to focus, when the center is sharp the corner can be out of focus a little, it is not a big problem but it will be great if the future product can fix it. BTW the 3D effect is also AWESOME! I recommend it to anyone who wants a ultra short throw projector with full HD!

I've always wanted to have a projector but never really had a good reason to. After all, I'm not someone who goes around showing power point presentations on a daily basis and simply having a projector to use to watch movies on is frivolous, right?

Um, no. Using this projector to watch movies is an absolutely freaking amazing prospect and it's the way I want to watch all moves in my house from now on!

PROS:
- SO TINY! This pocket projector truly can fit into your pocket. It's smaller than my hand and so lightweight that I can see how it would be easy to misplace it!
- Crystal clear images. I've tested it now with everything from live action movies to older anime and the image has been extremely crisp and clear every single time. Adjusting the sharpness was simple and I was honestly truly shocked by how sharp the images were. As a photographer I'm used to huge lenses providing sharp images, but this tiny lens does a fantastic job at it!
- Plug and play! The instructions were simple to follow and I simply plugged one end into the projector and the other end of the split cord into the laptop - one into the HDMI port and another into a USB port to power it. A second later the Philips logo showed up on the wall and voila! We were in business!
- Stayed cool. I expected this to warm up significantly during the movie, but it stayed relatively cool the whole time we used it - which was a bonus for me because it meant I could close my laptop cover and put the projector right on top of it without having to worry at all.

CONS:
- Almost too lightweight. The problem we wound up with was that the cords made it easy for one end of the projector to lift up a bit, so getting an even image on the wall took a few minutes and a little Macgyvering.
- Adjusting size. While you can tweak the brightness and sharpness from the unit, you can only adjust the size by moving it closer to, or further away from, the target wall. This got a little tricky when we used it for a slumber party, but I guess you have to give up something if you want to keep the unit so tiny.
- No speakers. Just to be clear this projector is simply that: a projector. It has no speakers to it so if you want to have a great video AND audio experience I'd recommend doing what we did - hooking our wireless speaker up to the bluetooth on the laptop and playing the sound through that.

OVERALL:

I don't know how we lived without this projector. We had it at about 120" diagonally and it still looked extremely sharp. I used the white backdrop in my studio and the experience was amazing. We had the projector around 15' away from the screen to get the size we wanted and truly the experience was fantastic. Even if you don't plan on using this projector for anything other than watching movies - trust me, it's totally worth it!

There are almost no professional reviews of this remarkable projector. I bought it a year ago on the strength of the single review I could find - and have been very happy with my choice. To find that other review, use your favorite search engine and search for: Mitsubishi EW230U-st allan abbott .

The short throw lens is an engineering marvel:  I can fill the screen in my 85 person projection room with the projector only 4 feet from the screen.  If you can't make the room bigger, this wonder at least lets you sit more people in the room.

The other review and I are in agreement that the color is gorgeous and rich, right from the get go, without tweaking.

The two caveats I have are: 1) a short throw projector will pick up ANY non-flatness in the screen; and 2) I wish the audio output from the stereo mini jack was stronger - it requires additional amplification to get good  volume from my Creative T40 powered speakers.

We spend most of our time in our basement when we are watching TV. With this New Projection Home Cinema Theater allows us to have friend over to watch Ball Games and Movies.

I Purchased this Mini Projection TV for less than $100 and the picture quality is better than my big screen that I paid $1500 for a few years back. Once we figured out how to get it all set up, it was up a running in less than 30 minutes.

One of the best projectors on the market, especially for the price. This gadget even does 3d games and movies. It sets up easily and and is intuitive to use. 1080P quality is great for watching movies and playing games. Don't bother with a 4k projector unless you have a really good quality screen. This one creates a great image for throwing up on any white wall.

Okay

So many have written on this projector and there are alot of mixed views. All i have to say is that this Projector is the best I ever had as my FIRST  projector. No headaches no worries no noise problems and no compatibility problems as well. I'm looking to upgrade and trust me its the hardest considering the fact that I love this product and would love to have another one but I have to upgrade. I am hoping the other one is faithful as this one was!

After reading up on dozens of projectors in my price range, I decided to go with the Optoma HD28DSE. I was very nervous about ordering a projector without seeing the picture first, but, the picture was pretty good out of the box and once I dialed the settings into my liking, THE PICTURE IS AMAZING! Looks great even with the light on. The built in speaker isn't very loud at full level, but that's okay, I was planning on saving up and getting a surround sound system anyway. I'm super happy I went with this one!!!!! I highly recommend it!

After more than a month of searching online and a ton of Q&A, I purchased this projector with great hope. Got it today and have used it for a couple of hours. Played Sling TV, YouTube and video from USB as that is my main reason for purchasing it.

Loved:
1. What I loved is the brightness! It's fantastic even during the day without drawing curtains. Very impressive.
2. Very easy to use different sources. It reads external media pretty fast. Almost zero lag.
3. Love the fact that it can be charged using charger pack (not tried though), and has wall charger. Most of all, it charges while playing.
4. Set up is pretty intuitive and user friendly.

Not so good:
1. I do not like the manual focus toggle. I just cannot seem to focus it precisely. It's always ever so slightly blurry. And that can get annoying pretty quickly, if you're watching something that has text on it (like news), or even reading video titles.
2. Using the mouse can get pretty hectic. Again, I am used to another portable projector that has mini screen on the body of the projector that make it easy to type stuff. That brings me to the deal breaker!

Deal breaker
1. With the tedious mouse and blurry-ish screen, my eyes are hurting! Either I have to keep adjusting the focus on projector, or keep rubbing my eyes! But it never really gets perfect. I genuinely wanted to love this projector as it's truly portable, but the quality is just not there in terms of focus. Granted, I am not planning to read text or documents on it, but the picture, icons, everything seems out of focus- again, ever so slightly, but constantly. It's like having slight fog in glasses all the time! Tried all brightness settings but no luck. The search for a portable projector continues...

PS: The review by 'DK Reviews' on YouTube shows that it comes with a remote. Just note that this model does NOT come with a remote.

This is my first ever projector. Got it last Wed, and it took all of 2 minutes to get it up and running - simply plug it in, and turn it on. Very easy to use.

The image quality is stunning, colours excellent, and the whole movie and TV watching experience is enhanced. My kids are now desperate to hold movie nights for their friends! The speaker is loud enough but I would recommend hooking up a surround system to create a real home cinema experience.

The noise level is bearable even in conversational scene. This has one HDMI ports which is easier to plug in different devices. The projector android work great, easy to connnect my home wifi and search online, this is one reason I bought it.

In terms of weight it is light and no problem on ceiling mounted brackets. So overall it is a 5 stars projector!

Very satisfied with this projector. I did a lot of research on this and other projectors before I made the purchase. Wanted to make sure I got the best bang for my buck and boy does this projector do that. I connected it to my cable box and my Xbox and was so clear once you focus it in. Don't forget about the keystone correction. Every time you adjust the keystone you have to refocus the lens. Very quite fan. It does run all the time but it is quite. For the price this is an amazing projector.
