High contrast, high lumens, no 3D, no 1080p
355619
I already own a few Viewsonic projectors. I currently have a 820 Pro attached to my ceiling (it is 1080p) and a Viewsonic 6381 Ultra Short Throw angle and 3D ready that I use when I want to play in 3D.
This one is different than the two other ones:
- It is 720p (kind of since it uses 800 instead of 720) and does not do 3D.
- Its contrast is much better 15000:1 versus 3000:1 average for the others
- 3500 Lumens ANSI versus 2000 for the 1080p and 3000 for the 6381.

This is not really unique to Viewsonic. Much progress has been made in the brightness department in the last year. Epson displays  very similar brightness and image quality.

In conclusion, this projector is a good option if:
- You do not care about high definition (800p is just DVD quality, not high definition).
- You do not care about 3D.
- You need professional use like LAN control etc...

this projector is NOT 1080p. but it is 1080i. movies and videos look like pixles, overall, not an enjoyable experience.

The picture is great.  I do love the portability of it.  Nothing too different than the other reviews.  I ended up returning it for these reasons:

1.  At 1080p, I can't play video on it.  Choppy.  When I change resolution to 720p, then I can play video smoothly using some players, but not VLC.
2.  The case is cheap and I didn't like it.  Fake leather with probably cardboard to make it stiff.  Typical stuff, but the case is also the stand, and it folds up to become the stand, and it just doesn't feel stable.  It also has a big footprint as a stand, and it limits where you can place it.  It's also not attached to the case in any way, so if someone walks by and bumps the table, screen my flop over and hit the table.  There's also not a great place for the cord.
3.  I wish the edges were rubbery or grippy, so I can at least lean the screen up against things since I really didn't want to use the case as a stand.  The bezel is just plastic, so if the angle is too steep, it will just slide around.

I'm glad Asus can make a good screen.  I just wished they took it the next step and asked themselves "hey!  How are people going to use this?"

TV has Smudging, clouding on sides and bottom which appear dimmer (grayish) than the center which is extremely bright. This is extremely noticeable in white scenes. Unable to stream movies from a local LAN media server. Movies play 15 min then loose connection and buffering forever. There seems to be a problem with TV memory. Highly reflective screen although specs mention it's matte screen. Don't buy if you'll place it in bright room with windows, you'll regret. Other than that, the TV is OK as low/medium tier TV.

I ordered and returned this from another online merchant.
It's exhilarating to get this 32" beast set up. And video was pure ecstasy. I don't have a T.V. and I don't have cable, so this is my only source of video entertainment. I watched Breaking Bad on my bed from about 8-9 feet away and it looked great.

That's the good side. But, unfortunately, my main use for my computer is not entertainment and video. I spend most of my time with text, the web, and images. Using the HDMI cable, text looked horrible. I wasn't sure if it wasn't just my imagination at first. Certain letters would randomly look slightly reddish or bluish. This was most obvious in a test I did where I opened up notepad and typed in multiple vertical bars like this: ||||||

They would all be red or blue. And if I shifted the Notepad window by a slight amount (perhaps 1 pixel), all of them would switch to the other color. As I dragged the window they would keep alternating between the two colors. It's very strange.

The weird-colored text problem did not occur when using the VGA input, but then the overall quality looked a bit fuzzy. The major problem here is that 1920x1080 is just not enough resolution for a screen this size. It's too few dots per square inch.

I don't know if the weird-colored text problem was a defect in my item, or is a general problem.

Either way, this monitor is unacceptable for use with a computer unless you plan on spending 90% of your time watching videos and don't plan on doing much else, or if you don't mind multi-colored, fuzzy text.

Right now I'm looking at the Dell U3014. Unfortunately, it's well over twice the price of this monitor and a bit smaller at 30". But the resolution is much higher at 2560x1600 (19x10), so I hope it will do the trick.

--- UPDATE ---
I ended up trying the Dell U3011, then settled on the U3014. They are both (nearly) perfect, but I returned the U3011 to the store I bought it from because they would not match Amazon's recently lowered price on the U3014. It didn't seem right to pay more for the older model than the newer one.

Compared this monitor to my old Samsung T24C550ND (same specs) and the 24M47H-P colors are inferior.  The presets are awful and even trying every parameter in custom settings, I couldn't get the vivid colors and dark blacks I'm used to (took me about 4 clicks to get the T24C550ND perfect) . Using the HDMI port, the 24M47H-P screen just looks a little dull and every configuration has a somewhat washed-out blue tint.  The LED bleeding through the screen edges on black screens isn't bad...but there is some.

I also don't believe this has only 5ms response time.  Just scrolling through webpages leaves slight ghosting.

Disturbingly light and cheaply built monitor and AC adapter.  When you attach cables, the ports in the back literally bend into the holes (they couldn't afford one more screw?). The wall adapter cables are thin and block gets very hot, so I'm guessing it won't last very long (my T24C550ND adapter stays relatively cool).

I would only recommend this to someone on an extreme budget, who only uses their computer for light internet and word/number processing...not photo/video editors or gamers.

Okay, for $20 what did I expect, right?  Well I expected better than this.  If you are going to use this on a projector, don't bother.  The resolution is so poor that font under 40pt is almost unreadable.  Even after attempting to use the menu and various adjustments, the best I could get was washed out colors and fuzzy letters.  I will be seeking a higher end model and returning this.

The autofocus is very slow and easily confused by subtle changes in light and slight movement of subjects. I felt scammed when I discovered that the HDMI port does not deliver an HD output.  The potential of this camera was thwarted by bad decisions of the manufacturer to hold back on important features that would have taken this camera to the top of the heap for HD. 480i HDMI output in a 4k world? What are they thinking?

I purchased a Sharp LC-70LE650U, to replace a 5 year old Panasonic Plasma TC-P65S1. I loved the picture on my Panny, but my living room is too bright, and I was always frustrated with screen glare.

When I got my new Sharp setup, my heart sunk when I saw the picture. My friend and I (both audio-video nuts) were shaking our heads trying to imagine how Sharp could release a product with such horrible factory defaults. I tried to convince myself not to get too excited, as I was already aware of this fact from reading comments/reviews. That said, I was hoping people were just exaggerating. They werent.

Next, I configured the video parameters using popular CNET calibration settings, as I figured this would serve as a good starting point:

I popped in a BluRay - The Powerful Oz - which provides a lot of color, and thus would give me a good sense for what this TV was capable of color-wise. The CNET settings helped settle things down a bit, but reds were still way overblown. I wish I were exaggerating. I was very close to bringing the TV back.

Alas, I figured I would give it one last try. Despite my concerns with doing so, I adjusted the CMS Saturation parameter to -25 (Max of -30). It seems crazy to me that I would have to go to this extent, but it was absolutely necessary. I put popped in another Blu-Ray - Inception - and to my relief, reds were no longer making my eyes bleed.  The starlet in the film wears a burgundy-red coat, and the coat looked perfect.  I can only hope this is something that won't get worse.
--------------
Once I did the above, the picture actually looks very nice.  Blacks are deep for an LCD panel, and colors are rich.  This TV is capable of a bright picture, which when coupled with the (semi) Matte finish of the screen resulted in a big improvement over my old plasma, which was essentially unwatchable in my living space.
--------------
One last thing worth mentioning  I did see the lip sync issue people are talking about right before I went to bed. I saw it while using my Roku as the source.  I don't know what resolved it (cannot recall), but the problem disappeared, and never reappeared last night.
--------------
OK all, Ill post an update once I get a Disney WOW calibration disc, and really put the TV through its paces.

Best of Luck!

I did not buy this projector, but negotiated to have the previous owners of my new home leave it, so I don't know how much he paid for it.  Based on the prices listed on Amazon, I will admit I was surprised at how good the picture was.  The bad part, which took a lot of trial and error to figure out, is that you can not feed this a 1080p signal consistently, and it will not display 1080p.  During my initial setup I ran my DirecTV and new LG Bluray player through a new Onkyo receiver, then to the projector (all w/ HDMI).  DirecTV looked great, but when I switched to the Blu Ray the picture looked like it was shorting out (continually blinking and fuzzy).  I thought it was a faulty bluray, so I returned it and got a Sony.  Hooked this up and got the same problems, though it would occasionally look normal for a few minutes.  I turned down the resolution on the blu ray to 1080i and it worked fine.  If I play a 1080p movie on DirecTV, nothing shows up.

Pretty disappointing, but overall a solid product for the price.

***UPDATE 10/9/13***
Well I can officially say this product is crap!  3 weeks ago it just stopped working correctly.  From time to time I would get this hourglass symbol when I would start the projector, and no image would appear.  Previously I would just turn it off then back on and it would work.  Then a few weeks back the hourglass would not go away and I could never get an image.  It didn't matter what I had connected, or if it was directly connected to the projector (as opposed to through a receiver).  I called Optoma "customer service", and they were beyond useless.  They had no idea what hourglass symbol I was talking about, and I also couldn't find any information online.  It would have cost $250+ to repair, so I scrapped it and purchased an Epson Powerlite 2030. The picture is very noticeably better on this projector, most importantly when it comes to black levels.  The Optoma is a boardroom projector, and should be left there.  Do your research if you want a projector for the home.  I highly recommend going to [...] .  Tons of information and calculators to help with setup.

In response to the commenter from my earlier review, no the HDMI cables were not faulty.  The same setup with the new projector works perfectly.  The Optoma says it supports 1080p, but that only means it can downscale a 1080p signal (and that didn't even work properly for me).  In no way does this projector have the ability to display a 1080p resolution image.

The Tv looks amazing; very light, nice screen, extremely thin. Cable signal (especially HD) looks amazing. Sound is very good as well. The main problem is flashing and some clouding. By setting the picture to standard mode (with backlight lowered to 7) this issue is fixed just partially. If there is a weaker signal coming to the Tv, such as internet (Netflix) in standard definition, or if you are watching some really dark scenes (regardless of picture definition), the problem appears again. For such a high level Tv, I found that unacceptable. The Tv also has very poor view angle. Before receiving this TV my expectations were very high, however, I was disappointed afterwards.

Updated 11/21/12 - OK. I'm changing my review to 3 stars (from 5). I now get extreme light bleeding (flashlighting) from the corners. Adjusting the backlight, brightness and auto dimming helps, but in a dark room all I can notice is the bright corners. Also, on a pure black screen, I get clouding (I think that's the right term?). The screen is not uniformly black, there are lighter areas (including the corners). Everything else about this TV is great. The colors seem great. No motion artifacts. A little banding, but not that bad. And the design of the TV is beautiful - almost no bezel. I really, really wanted to like this TV, but I'm returning it because I can't live with the light leaking from the edges. It's too distracting. And this is my second unit so I won't try a third. For $2000+, I expected a much better display. I'm going to try the Sony 55HX850 or 950 and will write a review over there...

Purchased this TV after reading reviews. Realized that this model was hit or miss. Most recent reviews said that this TV produced great images. Earlier reviews had issues with 24p content, but I read that recent firmware updates fixed the original problems. Anyway, Amazon had this TV on sale a couple of weeks ago at a price I couldn't refuse. The first set I received had excellent picture, but like other people had commented, had major flash lighting issues (light leakage from top and bottom). Returned set and tried again. The second unit I received didn't have any of the original issues. Absolutely stunning image quality. Deep blacks and great color. I calibrated using Disney Wow disc on Expert 1 settings. You definitely need to calibrate this set to make it great. None of the out of box setting looked good.

The TV itself looks great. The bezel is so thin, the images look like they're on the wall. This TV replaced a sony 52XBR4 52" TV and while this is 3" larger, the foot print is actually smaller!

3D looks great (because it's passive 3D, video is only half resolution but at my viewing distance, can't really notice) and because it's passive, none of the flickering you get with active glasses systems.

Online content is also good. Netflix looks excellent (as good as on an Xbox/AppleTV I'd say), no issues with playing online content. Also got $50 credit at the LG 3D movie store. There's a few Disney movies, plus the Avengers in 3D. Not bad for free, but not more than a handful of content.

Pros:
Picture quality
Blacks
Colors
Smooth motion

Cons:
Remote (You get used to it, but not my preference. I use a Harmony remote anyway).
You may need to to through a couple of sets to find a good one it seems...

Overall, if you buy this from Amazon, you should be good. If you get a unit that doesn't have the flash lighting or other problems, and you wait for Amazon to drop the price to ~$2000, I would highly recommend this set. Very happy with this purchase...

Well, you get what you pay for sometimes.  Yes, this monitor has super high 4K resolution at a great price.  Unfortunately, you get all the resolution without the color quality.  The color is washy and bland no matter what the setting is.  Its missing the richness and deep tones of a quality monitor.. and more red just makes the screen pink.  We've played with all settings possible and no matter what you do, it's impossible to get beyond a certain point of just.. meh.  The MSI laptop screen makes it look like barely palatable.  Returning monitor as we speak.

In low light it is definitely not HD, but it works really well in low light situations.  You can get a decent, recognizable video in a dimly lit room.  It isn't HD video unless the room is very bright.

Highly disappointed in these bulbs. Don't get me wrong, the build quality and installation ease are great. Complete plug and play, color outputs are nice as well
However that's where the nice parts end and the reality sets in. The output and pattern are far from an upgrade to stock bulbs. If you wish to see more than 10' in front of the car I would highly recommend staying away from these. The claimed 3k lumens per bulb is a sham. Although you may see reflections on street signs etc at a decent distance, the usable beam is rediculously short and then fades to nothing. Couldn't see more than 3-4 lines on the street in front of us.

Seriously, I love Leds. I have lighting in way more places than I probably should, even all my work lights and flashlights are high end leds. But in this case. Stick to HIDs! Trust me. You will regret this purchase.

I purchased it somehow mislead by other Sony Bravia reviews. I even bought 3 year extended warranty, since I was convinced this is a good TV.I sold my 42" Visio plasma TV, since it was too big for my bedroom and since it was plasma, too "hot" in terms of power consumption and heating effect I was getting in my bedroom (Florida).I sold it to my friend and boy, I really am sorry now! The picture quality of this 37 inch Bravia is a shame. First of all the lack of decent black levels showing the picture as it would be a watching through "milky cloud" - I'm unable to get a balanced contrast/brightness level. It's either to milky or the contrast is blown out of balance.
Also, colors are unnatural. Since the blacks or dark colors are showing cloudy too, it' easy to notice all digital artifacts that are associated with a compressed imaging coming from cable television (and I really do have excellent TV signal, coming from Verizon FIOS TV digital box).
It's very modest to say, that getting this TV 2 stars out of five is generous rating.
Overall lousy performance, washed out colors, poor contrast and impossible to get balanced picture.
The only good this TV is doing for me is not heating my bedroom...since I'm not watching it almost at all.
Buyers Beware! I would love to replace it...

Build quality is really good and it looks great. It's a bit awkward to hold in your hand, but that's not unexpected. The selfie stick is actually necessary for the first time in history.

Image quality for stills and video is mediocre at best. Low light is worse. Significantly worse than any modern smartphone camera. I really thought Nikon would do something better here, but for now it's no comparison to a Google photosphere in terms of image quality. For this high price I really expected better. I expected at least point and shoot camera quality, not 2000's era webcam quality.

The Android app kind of works, but it's slow, disconnects occasionally, and is pretty awkward to use.

There is no way to change aperture, shutter speed, or ISO manually. (Note: It has a fixed aperture lens so obviously this isn't adjustable) The only option is exposure control and resolution. I wanted to use this exclusively for 360 photography and this basically ruins it right off the bat. The pictures are basically ruined when the camera does whatever post processing it is doing, (jpeg artifacting and lots of noise is added) and there is no RAW image download option. The picture size is around 11-12mb for a full resolution still. There is no adjustment for JPEG quality levels.

Doesn't play nice with Google out of the box, so you can't just upload to Google photos to see the 360 effect, as far as I can tell. Honestly I was so disappointed by this point I didn't try very hard, but it doesn't seem like it was well thought out.

The resolution and image quality is not high enough for a VR application, like an HTC Vive or a Samsung Gear VR.

I might be wrong on this - but the HDMI port doesn't seem to do anything, and I don't think you can stream over USB to PC. The manual doesn't have any information about the port, other than that it's there. I wanted to stream with this, but I don't think it's possible. At least not with Nikon's base software. Tried to hook it up to my TV and nothing seems to be there.

No single camera mode (ie. just using one of the two lenses) Why can't you just do a 180* fisheye shot? That would certainly be useful sometimes.

It's $500. This is an insane price. The Gear 360 is around $350 and from what I've seen produces better images.
