If you couple this bad boy with a remote controlled projector screen and Apple TV you have a wireless projector that you can stream HD video from your PC. The final twist is to use the digital out on the Apple TV box to connect a surround sound cinema system with wireless subwoofer, this overcomes the lack of audio output with this well-priced projector. These products combined make a very cool home cinema system.
Turning it on, I waited for the ‘projector noise’ I was used to. It never came. The projector is barely audible. However, since I’m at 6800 ft above sea level, I had to go to ‘high altitude’ mode and the volume doubled. It was still a third of the volume of my previous projector which was further away. At high altitude mode, I was able to watch a movie with the projector literally 14 inches from my head. At this distance, I was able to tune out the projector fan noise. I was never able to do this with my ViewSonic projector even when it was 4-5 feet over my head.
I was looking for a TV replacement of at least a 55 inch flat panel with 1080p capabilities. After checking out various LCD and Plasma options it was obvious that my investment level would be $ 1500 to $ 2000. Using that number as a baseline started checking on projectors and found a few projectors with 1080p resolution very comparable in price. So here is a quick breakdown of the economics and the quality:
The quietness of this projector alone makes its size tolerable. I’m quite pleased with the projector. I look forward to a Polaroid 3D version of this projector
I use the projector for HD content on the ROKU and gaming on my XBOX 360. I get ZERO gaming lag and the picture quality is amazing Looks like a GIANT LCD screen.

I highly recommend this projector for those looking for an inexpensive (relatively) multimedia experience. BRIGHT picture, great distance range (I have it at about 13 feet from wall, image is 6X8 feet approx.), GREAT for sports, no artifacts. Great for gaming also. NO (ZERO) controller delay, no more than a regular LCD panel. GREAT buy.
My son has experience with projection was very impressed with it. We watch three movies and were very happy with it.
It is the quietest projector I have owned. Its difficult to hear the fan noise. I use a Chief Universal Mount which I purchased from Amazon. I use a 1 1/2 inch threaded pipe to connect the Chief Mount to an existing arm bracket.
this projector delivers. Imagine watching your fav movies or playing your fav games in a small theater, this is how you get there Great price, totally worth it, don’t waste your money on cheaper products, you get what you pay for with this baby.
Huge-seriously four times as large as my old projector. Worth every square inch, IMHO, though.
