Great value for the money
Price, image, size, documentation, overall value
Bulb price (as with all other projectors in this class), mediocre manual doesn't disclose necessary information, leveling feet/projection angle are somewhat "high" making aiming difficult
Posted Aug 7, 2007 - A this point I only have a few hours' experience with the device, but this projector seems to be a very good value for the money. The picture is fine - we watched a movie the other night at a distance of maybe 10 feet, on a 6 foot wide improvised screen (dark room) and it looked great. There isn't a lot more to say. T he manual, like so many, is pretty pathetic. There is zero documentation of ANY menu option (there are lots of on-screen menu options) yet a full page is wasted on showing how to connect an S-Video source (plug one end of an S-Video cable into an S-Video media source, then plug the other end into the projector's S-Video input) There are a great many undocumented menu options, including this vaunted low-power bulb-saving mode, and several others that SHOULD be documented. Seems to be the typical case of off-shored manufacturing where the software details have been left up to the manufacturer, and and documentation writer has NO CLUE what those features are, either, and so just leaves the details out of the book. The projector also has a serial port and a USB port, and these are, as well, completely undocumented. Somewhat frustrating and disappointing to have a device with fractional documentation, and then only of the most obvious stuff. The point of documentation is to explain the things that are non-obvious and I wish more people would call manufacturers to complain about this kind of shoddy delivery, particularly when it's an otherwise appealing device.
