Zoombox is a good buy

Strengths:

easy to operate, fun for kids

Weaknesses:

must have a DARK room

Posted Jan 10, 2007 - We have used our zoombox several times since Christmas day and the kids love it. It is easy to operate and, for the money, is a good value. The only issues we have had is that the room must be very dark...the darker the better...and there is a bit of tinkering you must do to the focus ring to get it right. Overall a good buy.

GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE!!!!

Strengths:

CAN PRODUCE A BRIGHT DISPLAY OF 60-80-100 INCHES! BUILT IN SPEAKERS AND BUILT IN DVD PLAYER!

Weaknesses:

RESOLUTION IS A LITTLE LOW AS YOU MAKE THE DISPLAY BIGGER THAN 60 INCHES. LIGHTING COULD BE A LITTLE BRIGHTER.

Posted Jan 9, 2006 - THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT! THE PROJECTOR PRODUES A BRIGHTER IMAGE THAN YOU THINK! FOR THE PROJECTOR TO BE AT ITS BRIGHTEST, YOU REALLY NEED TO BE IN A COMPLETELY DARKENED ROOM. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO BUISINESS MEN WHO DO PRESENTATIONS. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS PROJECTOR TO PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A LOW COST PROJECTOR. GOOD VALUE!!!!!!!!

good family buy

Strengths:

Our Family of 5 scores the zoombox on a scale of 1 to 10 Picture Clarity - 8 Brightness - 8 built-in sound - 7 replacement bulb price - 9 (7-12$) Easy setup - 8 Overall Score - 8

Weaknesses:

Text Viewing - 6 -below modern VGA standards, some pixelation especially sitting close to the display. This product would be unsuitable for viewing text-like captioning or presentations.

Posted Nov 19, 2006 - We were able to buy the zoombox on sale for $200, at this price the projector is a no brainer- buy it! Initial setup was quick, although it took me a few minutes to get the focus to a good level, once we were happy with the picture, it performed as advertised. This is not a product for die-hard gamers or videophiles, it is a great budget product for family movie night, kids parties and teenage gaming. I would recommend a set of cheap external speakers with a sub-woofer to enhance the experience. If buy this with all these points in mind you will not be disapointed, however if you are trying to compare this to the quality of 800$-2000$ projector, forget it. One final note: The ultimate compliment for this projector was given by my children, I am now the greatest father in the world!, (not bad for a toy I was really buying for myself!)

You Get What You Pay For!

Strengths:

Not to many strengths for this product. It is a toy and nothing more!

Weaknesses:

You MUST have a really dark room to use this projector. Movies are hard to see! If you buy this unit for your kids to play with Well exspect it not to last long! It isn't kid friendly.

Posted Dec 12, 2006 - Don't waste your money on this toy. NOT KID FRIENDLEY! Unit isn't bright enough for movies Unless you are in a very DARK room. You have to remember this unit was built for kids. But don't think they thought it out very well. Unless you have 300 bucks to waste on a kids toy that won't last them long don't buy this projector. There is alot of HIP out there for this unit but it is just that HIP! Just my opinion.
