ViewSonic 3800 Lumens SVGA High Brightness Projector for Home and Office with HDMI Vertical Keystone (PA503S)

I just received it and Im sending it back because it will NOT invert an image unless it is 3D. If you are going to ceiling mount this projector, you need to be doing 3D, which I do not have. Also, one of the answers to the questions says it tell you how on page 12, which is untrue.

I just took this projector out of the box and I am impressed. The picture is sharp and bright and it hooked up with my laptop instantly. It is light weight and doesnt have some features you might expect (no case, adjustable back legs, lens cover or HDMI cable), and Im not sure how well it would hold up with heavy use. But I plan to use it a couple of times a month to show Power Point slides and didnt want to invest a bunch of money, so its perfect for me.

It is exactly what I expected. Nice, reliable, sharp, bright. Ive only used it for a couple of months so I cant say anything about the durability of the device. So far, recommended. Just get your hopes to the correct level. This is a WXGA device, not 1080p, so very small text on a 100 inch screen is not exactly readable, but it is quite enough for a standard presentation or a movie night. I knew this beforehand so Im happy with the purchase.

Super bright, picture quality is good for the price. The sound on the projector itself is not very loud even on the loudest setting, but there’s an aux in/out for speaker connection. Very happy with this purchase.

Not HD but pretty clear picture

Imagine that youre doing a presentation of the final report from a 9-month project in front of 85 people. This is the 2nd time youve used the viewsonic 3600. Halfway through you turn around and the screen is showing a cannot find source input. A colleague jumps up and stalls while another colleague grabs our old projector and I hurriedly swap them. The old projector works fine the rest of the night. What could have been an utter disaster turned out OK. But only because of the quick work of my co-workers and NO THANKS TO VIEWSONIC. Ive owned optoma, infocus, and benQ. Why did I even take the chance on a new brand? Never again.

Bought it for my Church. Works great. Very bright picture.

I was looking for a projector for a kids outdoor birthday party. I first bought a cheaper ($100) one, but that one was a dud so had to find another one fast. Finally decided on this one. The image is great indoor and outdoor. Its bright enough that we can watch movies during the day in a bright room (we have several high windows in the great room that have no cover), but definitely better when it is dark. We connect the Firestick on the HDMI and have a bluetooth speaker connected to the Firestick (can also connect the speaker using a 3.5mm audio cable). The speaker as others noted is not great. On my kids bday party we couldnt connect it to our external speaker (turned out the audio cable we had was faulty, and I had a brain fart and didnt think to connect the bluetooth speaker to the firestick directly), and the sound was super low, you can barely hear it. We have only have this projector for a month, so Im not sure about durability. But we have used it a lot and have been happy with the purchase.

I bought this for my home theater. I noticed the resolution was not any where near 1080p but I decided to purchase it due to other factors including: brightness, contrast ratio, price, menu options, and lamp life. I have owned 4K projectors before that had terrible contrast and brightness. This projector proves that resolution alone is not an important factor for a home theater projector. The total price is absolutely unbeatable. Images look bright and vivid, and you can easily see every shade of gray needed in a scenario where you’re watching a movie. There’sa feature that allows you to reduce lamp brightness (which is super helpful in a home theater where sometimes too much brightness is a bad thing (and said feature allows the lamp to run for approximately 15,000 - comparable to newer LED projectors, but with far better image quality. If you don’t have enough money to afford an expensive 4K home theater projector but still want super high image quality, this projector is your Huckleberry.

After going through two brandless chinese projectors in a year, it was time to spend the money on a product with a proper warranty. This thing is BRIGHT! The unit itself is very well ventilated but the fan is quiet. The remote and menu interface are easy and intuitive. I couldve gone for more hdmi ports, but at this resolution, VGA is all you really need. If you are worried that 800x600 wont be enough resolution for a home theater, think again. Media looks excellent through this unit projected onto a white wall 10 away. Dont expect to do work on your computer at this resolution, but as a media machine that frees up my pc monitor for other tasks, this shines.
