PA503W - DLP projector - portable - 3D - 3600 ANSI lumens - WXGA (1280 x 800) - 16:10 - 720p

I was new to this projector world couple of month ago when I was looking for something to create a home cinema. Purchased two LED ones before on Amazon due to the ''amazing'' reviews.. I have to say around £200 you could get an okay one if you do not want bigger screen size than, let's say 100" ..however this Viewsonic one is a DLP(lamp) projector with HD quality only and has got one hdmi connection, it's still better than the high tech (ish) (not soo cheap for what you'd get) LED/4KGaming/fake300'' ones. This one is sharp, lens has minimum distortion and the brightness is very even all through the screen, projecting a real 300" image - like 4-5 meters away from the screen is still crisp sharp!! This projector is called for real; quality for your money!!

Works perfectly in my home cinema set up alongside my Sonos Playbar, Sonos Sub and 2xSonos Play 1 surrounds with a long optical lead from the Playbar to an HDMI splitter matrix and then a long HDMI lead to the projector. No lip sync issues at all. NB the review which suggests this product has a non-standard mini HDMI port is inaccurate. It has a normal HDMI port. It does have a mini USB port in case that impacts anyone.

brillant, portable

I've got to say, I love this unit - I bought it as a temporary solution/try out but will end up keeping it as found it so good/value for money. It's not a native 1080P, but it delivers this really well, in fact anything I threw at it up to Full HD. The colours are great, but maybe lacks in the contrast, and it doesn't not try compete with new projectors in the blacks, there is a glow. I have it in superECO mode for watching movies in a darkish room, and this reduces the fan noise to a very bearable level. In daylight ECO mode is fine and I still get a pretty strong projection. I was so impressed by this, I also bought the viewsonic PX747 4k I am yet to recieve, but if this little gem is anything to go by, I'm expecting to be blown away.

When i opened the box i realised immediately why no image waa provided of the back of tbe projector to show the various ports. First off it is a mini HDMI port - which is not stated ANYWHERE - so not standard and frankly stupid. Secondly, no bluetooth tech means you can only use the only ONE audio port. In short i havent even turned this machine on and I'm already fed up with it and the amount of additional cables and tech I'll need before I can even use it.

Ich habe lange recherchiert, um in der Preisklasse einen guten Beamer zu bekommen. Dabei bin ich auf den PA503W gestoßen. Die Marke ist mir aus meinem Berufsleben von Monitoren her bekannt, was mich schon Vertrauen aufbauen ließ. Und ich bin nicht enttäuscht worden. Natürlich gibt es immer offene Wünsche. Andere Modelle haben einen oder gleich mehrere Kartenslots, das hat er nicht. Auch kann man keinen USB-Stick anschließen, denn er hat nur eine Mini-USB-Schnittstelle, über die kein Signal eingespeist werden kann. Dafür hat er aber alle sonst heute gängigen Schnittstellen, wie HDMI, VGA, COM und Video über Cinch. Für mich war wichtig, den Amazon Fire-TV Stick anschließen zu können, das funktioniert hervorragend. Die Auflösung von 1024 x 800 (HD 720p) bringt er und er projiziert das Bild vollflächig scharf. Der Trapezausgleich funktioniert in einem großen Bereich. Das Lüftergeräusch, gemessen aus 1 Meter Entfernung beträgt 25-27 dB, ist also auszuhalten. Die Farbwiedergabe kann nach Untergrund, z. B. Tafelgrün eingestellt werden, auch sind die Farben und der Gammawert nachträglich regelbar. Der Beamer wird unter den 10 besten Videoprojektoren genannt, eignet sich aber auch gut für Präsentationen. Ob er 3D-Filme wiedergeben kann, kann ich nicht beurteilen, dazu fehlt mir die zugehörige Technik, das war für mich aber auch kein Kaufargument. Von der Bauform her kann er mit LED-Geräten nicht mithalten. Wen stört, dass das Gerät auch einige Zeit zum Abkühlen braucht, der sollte sich zu LED-Technik hinwenden. Von mir gibt's volle Punktzahl, weil das Gerät alles macht, wofür ich ihn mir zugelegt habe, und ich kann den Beamer nur empfehlen.

コンパクトで使いやすい

If you want to watch blu ray 3D movies, you'll need compatible DLP shutter glasses after connecting an HDMI cable from your blu ray 3D Player (PS3 with update for blu ray 3D). On the projector, there is not a mode to switch off the 3D effect to go into 2D, so that will depend on each disc. If it's a 3D only disc, it's only going to project with a double image that will require the DLP 3D glasses. The cinema Real D 3D glasses don't work at all, I tried it. For the image, I have it set at 100" or so, and the image quality is solid. The image is sharp, though there is a screen door effect when you look at the projected image closer and if you hold your hand into the beam of light, you'll see it. But it still looks great. This is like having a movie theater in your home! While this has a speaker built into it, the sound has no bass and distorts at higher volume, with quiet volume even at the loudest setting. There is a 3.5 mm audio Jack OUTPUT that you can plug into the Viewsonic Projector that will allow you to connect any Computer based speakers that use a headphone jack to project the audible sound. Once it's plugged in, it happens automatically. I listed with headphones on, and the quality is much better than the built in speaker. Will be trying a more powerful bass speaker set up soon. My biggest complaint is the Menu and remote controller menu. I want SUPER ECO MODE so I can get 15,000 hours instead of 5000 hours in Normal mode. That would be 7250 two hour movies that you can watch before the bulb dies out. That's incredible. But the ONLY way I can get it to stay in Super Eco Mode for the slightly dimmer bulb setting (which by the way still looks great with bright whites and nice darkness), is to go into the settings, switch to that mode and then press EXIT on the remote. If you press Menu, adjust the volume, or any other input, it will automatically switch back to NORMAL 5000 hour mode due to terrible programming. And if the input blu ray film is switched, it also switches back to normal mode without you even doing anything. It's ridiculous and 2/5 stars because of it for something so critical to making the projector bulb last 15000 hours as advertised. The box packaging this arrives in is strong and sturdy and well protected. The instructions however, are just pictures, so they are pretty much useless and I figured out the buttons and set up on my own. So in other words, just a "quick start up guide" instructions that are very lacking. Overall though, I'm very happy and thrilled with this new movie projector. You can also play PS4, PS5, PS3 games on it if you want, as well as regular blu rays, DVDs, and blu ray 3Ds. I haven't tried a UHD disc yet, but the resolution may be affected since this outputs 1280 x 800 aspect ratio depending. Test out the best angle and set up for where you'll project your image. I project it right onto my light cream colored wall and it's perfect. I love it! With TV Manufacturers opting for 4K and 8K these days, they completely abandoned the 3D feature even though there are still studios releasing new 3D blu rays. So this ViewSonic is a very affordable alternative for your blu ray 3D player to display 3D films (compared to the $1000 to 2000+ models).

Bright and clear. Can't wait to use it, especially professionally.
