So Incredible except for the Rainbow
|
This projector has been awesome. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to use it as a backyard theater projector. I was wrong, the thing is plenty bright. I am projecting against the back of my house, and the picture looks great for casual use. I live in San Francisco and thought ambient city light would be too much at night but its definitely fine. Although I don't think you could start watching till well after sunset.
Being able to keystone correct is more critical to projectors than i thought, so if you are looking at cheap projectors make sure if you are planning on moving this thing and using it in more than one place you get one with the electronic keystone (some cheap projectors have a dial).
I also use this in the house and the picture is bright with the lights out. House lights or daylight really do wash it out. My projector is about 10 feet from the wall and the picture seems to mostly fill the 80 inch screen I have. (don't quote me on the distances) You can definitely see the pixels in the 800x600 if you are standing next to it, but from the couch it looks great.
OK the most annoying thing about this product and the reason for the 4 instead of 5. DLP. I don't know if its better with different projectors but there is this really weird rainbow effect you see if you move your eyes quickly. Read Wikipedia and you will find out this is a common issue with single Chip DLP projectors. Its not going to ruin the experience, and most of the time you probably wont notice it. Did find that it was a lot worse when I was tired, maybe my lazy eyes? I think this is a great starter projector. Like all of them the lamps are absurdly expensive, but I imagine by the time this lamp dies there will be awesome deals on 1080 projectors and then we can all upgrade. |
