Artograph Smart HD Digital Art Projector with Focus Grid, Remote, Wi Fi and Case, Flare 500, White – Portable Mini Projector Screen System for Artists

If, like me, you're used to the cheap projectors and constantly being unsatisfied with the output, prepare yourself to be satisfied. Crystal clear, can reduce down to teeny size simply by moving the projector closer to the work, bright enough with excellent detail for most jobs if you're projecting onto white paper, super bright if you turn off the lights. It's not the projector for any work bigger than about 3'x4', but you could do it depending on the amount of detail you need and whether or not you can turn off ambient light. It's not the projector for large wall murals. There's another Autograph model for that with much higher lumens. But, for the average illustration type projection job, it's perfect. The controls all work like they're supposed to, focus is nice and tight, etc., etc.... I kinda balked at the price, but now that I got it, it's worth the dough.

Had a Flare 150 which quit working after two years of very lite use and decided to go ahead and upgrade to the Flare 500. I have enjoyed the usable grids, size, ability to quick check perspectives and the storage size of the unit. This said, after one use with the 500 it will not power on (green to red flashing light). Let the journey of repair and/or replacement begin. After owning two units, cannot recommend buying this product when there are cheaper projectors in the market that will do much the same without a few frills.

I am an amateur artist and find it challenging to draw free-hand on my painting surface. However, after purchasing this digital tool, projecting an image onto my gessoed masonite is a breeze. It really speeds up the artistic process. It also allows you to project an image via USB, wireless, etc.

I have read a number of reviews on this product and was hesitant to buy, but am glad I did. It works great and it was pretty easy to set up. The only thing I do not like is the enclosed USB drive. It is not compatible with my laptop so I cannot transfer my digital paintings onto it in order to paint them for real. There seems to also be a problem with connecting the blue tooth function to Apple products. However, the projector will read my other flash drives so I do have.a way of saving to my own and then using with this product. All in all it is wonderful to be able to have the images projected onto my canvas which I now can use to paint or sketch. Would recommend.

Absolute perfection for my needs. It is easy to operate, as easy as any usb storage device to load with images, and childs play to focus and set up for projection. I was anxious as it was expensive, but I have to say I got my moneys worth. You will not be disappointed! I ordered a LapWorks 10" Heavy Duty Swivel With No-Slip and a Artograph Mobile Projector Floor Stand to complete my setup. Everything together is Cadillac performance, I'm as happy as a clam!!

Used for art. Sharp picture, convenient size, Great connectivity options. Definitely the best art projector.

Very sad to say that I am so disappointed in this projector. Where the features it offers are great for what I use it for (projecting images for large scale paintings), it is not even an inkling bright enough to see the image. It must be completely dark in the room or night time for it to work. The brightness is at its highest setting. That’s the first place I went to try to solve this issue. I am unable to use it during the day at all as my painting studio has a lot of natural light. Rendering this projector useless during most of my working hours. I can’t believe I spent so much money on it.

I believe it is worth every penny! I bought it for enlarging my subjects for my art. Very bright, crisp images are provided by this little powerhouse. I was worried about throw distances and other jargon most projector companies used so I settled on the Artograph as I thought it was designed more for artists. I could not be more satisfied.
