Overview
A DLP lamp engine with SuperColor processing projects a bright picture from this ViewSonic, sized with a modest optical zoom and squared by vertical keystone. HDMI and VGA inputs connect laptops and media players, and it can be ceiling mounted.
High brightness makes it usable in lit classrooms and meeting rooms, and the lamp lasts longer in eco mode. Native resolution is modest, so spreadsheets with fine text and widescreen video lose detail.
Who it's for
Classrooms, training rooms and small conference rooms showing slides in ambient light get a bright, simple projector. Home theater fans wanting high-definition movies should look at a higher-resolution model.
Pros and cons
- High brightness for lit rooms
- Long lamp life in eco mode
- HDMI and VGA inputs
- Low input latency
- Low native resolution
- Brightness figures conflict in the listing
- Small optical zoom range
Performance notes
Lamp brightness lets the image hold up with room lights on, and SuperColor widens the color range. Low input latency and a high refresh rate smooth motion. Image size depends on throw distance, with optical zoom fine-tuning without moving the projector.
